J Kultur?the Real Stuff. * Neustrelltz wus mainly for Russian e prisoners, and there were neither lirlt- p lsh nor French soldiers Interned there ?only sailors of the merchunt marine # ?ucb as the men I " was with. The Russians were given far worse treatment than any other prisoners. This was for two reasons, as near ns I could make out. One was thut the Russian would stnnd most anything, whereas the British ami French could only be goaded to a certain point, and beyond that lay trouble. The other reason was thnt the Russians sent German prisoners to Siberia, or at least, so the Iluns thought, nnd Fritz hates the cold. So, hating the Russians, nnd 1 realizing thnt they were used to being under-dogs, Fritz pLcked on them nnd bullied them In a way thut the rest of us would not have stood. We would have rushed them and gone west wltli bayonets first. The bnrraeks were mndc of spruce, J nnd were about n.aoty feu. long and twenty-five feet wide, and you eau J take It from ine thut as carpenters, r whoever made them were fine farmers. There were erucks In them thnt you could drive an automobile through. When we were there, each hnrruclts had a stove In the renter, a good stove and a big one, but nt llrst it was of no use to us. because the Germans ^ would not give us coal or wood for it. But after shivering for a while, we began ripping the boards out of the barracks, nnd taking the dividing beards from the benches thut we used for j. * hods. n Later, tliey gave each of us a mattress filled with wood shavings, nnd n v blanket that was about us warm us a t limit; ui KinMft. i m? mattresses wore t placed on the ground In the barracks, ?< which were very damp, and after three p or four days, the shavings would he* v gin to rot and the mattresses to smell. In order^to keep warm we slept as close together us we could, which jcaused our various diseases to spread v rapidly. j, When we were receiving our rations, t the sentries would offer us an extra w ration If we would take a lash from n their belts. We were so hungry that |, ninny and muny n man would go up ? and take a swat In any part of his ^ ho<ly fma the heavy leather belts p with bn?'.fl tongue and buckle, Just to 0 get a little more "shadow" soup or barley coffee or mud bread. One moralng the sentries picked out p ten men from our barracks, of which s I was one, and drilled us over n Held nenr the kgclie. There wns a large p tank In the. field and we had to puinp 0 water Into It. It wns very cold, ond K we were weak and slek, so we would a fall one after another, not caring 0 whether we ever got up or not. Fritz 0 would sniush those who fell with his ^ rifle butl. We nsked for gloves, because our hands were freezing, but all we got wns "Nlchfs." j After we hnd been there for about an hour nnd n half, one of our men became very slek, so that I thought ^ he was going to die, and when ho fell over, I reported It to a sentry. The ^ sentry came over, saw him Ivlncr in the snow, yelled, "Schweln. nlcht tj krnnk!" grabbed him by the shoulder, end pulled him nil the wny across the field to the offlee of the eump com- ^ mnnder. Then he was placed In the guard liou.se, where he remained for v two days. The next thing we knew, the Russians had been ordered to make n hox, nnd were being marched to the gunnl house to put him In It v and hury hlin. Another thing at Neustroiitz, that u was pretty hard to stand, was the pret- '' ty habit the linns had of coming up u to the barbed wire ami teasing s as S( though we were wild animals In u " cage. Sometimes there would be crowds of people lined along the wire " throwing things at us, and spitting, !| and having n grent time generally." It " was hnrder thnn ever when a family ;1 party would arrive, with virter nnd mutter, nnd maybe -grosvnter nnd grosmatter. nnd ull the Utile Roche <'i kinder, because, as you probntdy w know, the flernmos tiilce food with I' them whenever they go on a party, no matter what kind, nnd they would h stand there und atare nt us like the ? boohs they were, eating all the tlmfi ?nnd we so hungry that we could ? hnve enten ourselves, almost. After a they had stared a while, they would u begin to feel more nt home, and then J1 would start the throwing and spitting u and the "schwelnhund" snngerfest, find h they would have a great time general- tl I.v. Probably, when they got home, they would strike off a medal for h themselves In honor of the visit. il Then, too, there were always Hun e aol >11 Asa nn 1 no i* a /t O A fV /I lit tr tl' h a nuwlo f It n point to pny us u visit, nnd though h I do not think they wore ns hnd ns the o civvies, especflTly the women, they n were hnd enough. h * We hnd one bucket In each barracks, h nnd ns these buckets were used, for " { both washing and drinking, they were c always dirty. We boiled the wnter ? when we washed the clothes, to get d rid of the cooties, and that left a settling in It that looked Just like red ? lead. We had to get the wnler from a hydrant ontslde of the barracks, nnd c for a while we drank It Hut nftrr H several of the boys had gone wrst d # nnd we could not figure out why, a e man told us he thought the water wns r poisoned, nnd a Russian doctor, who c was a prisoner, slipped us word nhout t H nlso. So, after that very few of > vtdraafe watar twm the hydrant J \ va? in on red stiff at Crst, bemuse I hod fel tad some of the water, but after that w< [ did not touch hydrant water. fr< It wns a good' thing for us that co: here was always blenty of snow In thi 3ermnny, and even luekler tlint the ge luns-dld not shoot us for eating It. re< rt was about the only thing they did I t lot deprive us of?It wns not verboten. I thought I knj?w what tough cooties gu vere. In the trenches, but they wero de egular mollycoddles compared to the th< ?ets we had In the prison camps. After Ira re boiled our clothes we would be th ree from them for not more than two pli ioupb, and then they would *eome ou ?ack, with re-enforcement9, thirsting th' or-vengeance. sh The camp at Neustrelltz wns eur- Cr ounded by big dogs, which were kept th list outside the barbed wire. We hni^ w>' hem going all fhe time. Every once o n a while, some fellow would make **n in awful racket, and the next thing rei re knew, there was Fritz coming llko t>u i shot, with musket nt his hip. Just Pu s they carry them in a charge, and 8" lowing whistles at each other until' Wf hey were blue In the face. When- nr iver they thought some.one was es- ' un aping, they ran twice as fnst as I "s wl j I to .reia r V? Had Our Choice of Standing Up and Dying, or Falling Down and Being Killed. vex saw them run, ercept when the "ovelgn Legion was on their liecls t Dtxmude. | * When they got up to the dogs, they , rould flrd talk to them and then kick' [ ^ hem, and after that, they would rest heir rides on the wire and yell i Zuruck 1" at us. We all enjoyed this nnoeent pastime very inueh, and we k*ere glad they had the dogs. I m Tin re were some things the Huns Kl tluit you Just could not explain, "or instance, one of the Russiuns > a Iked out of the kuche, us we were asslng, and we heard n bung! and * he Ru> ?ian keeled over and went ^ est. N w, we had not done nnythlng ^ nd the other Russians said he had (linved himself, worked hard and had | ever had any trouble. They Just i I led him, and that Is all there was to t. Rut not one of us could figure ut why. After we had heen at Neustrelita ' or three weeks, they drilled us out of II< he enmp to u railway station, and so tood us in the snow for four hours he altlng for the train. We were ex- wt inusted and began falling, one by ne, and each time one of us fell, thu tin entries would yell, "Nlcht krank 1" do nd give us the rifle bu't. We hud a ur choice of standing up and dying im r falling down and being killed, and sb : was a fine choice to have to make, i cai The cars finnlly pulled in, and ns bu suul, the windows were smashed, the bu oors open, and the compartments Just ?ri acked with snow. When we saw this, I'? ^e knew we were going to get worse kn reutment, even, than we had been tin ettlng, und many of us wanted to die. u8 t hnd not been unusual for some of le men to tell the Geruiuns to shoot ha iom too, and It seems as though It hu as always a man who wanted to live j ho did get It und went west. th< However, all of us nearly got killed J'k' hen we reached Wittenberg. When >e train stopped there, we saw a big '"g ngonlond of sliced bread on the staon platform and we all stared at It. ha >'e stood it ns long as we could, and sul ion we made a rush for it. Rut when e got nearer, we saw that there were >ur sentries guarding it and four omen Issuing It out to the German Tl./... ...^..1.1 * ?I MiifTi i. i in-,* nui mvu u? uny, f course. ' So we stood ii round find writ riled the ( funs eat It, while they and the women j tuglied at us, and pretended that t|1( ley were starving and would groan ^ nd rub their stomachs and say, Nlehts zu essen," to each other, and J(u ien grnh a big hunk of bread and j |)|( at It. What we did not say to thein .j as very little Indeed. We were cer- ( , ilnly wild If any men ever were. i Ihen some of us said we were go- ' ig to get some of that bread If we j h,(l ent west for It. So we started u f(n ght. and while they were attending to ' fn nine of us, the others grabbed and hid jj1( 11 the hrend thev could. They rousted | W(J s back Into the cars and we were p|j list skirting to divide up the hrend j,? /hen they caught us with It and took , I nway. We were wilder than ever | lien, bjit we could not do nnythlng. ??j> It got colder after we left Wltten- :da erg, and the snow blew Into the cars ha lirough the windows and doors until as, ,-e were afruid to sleep for fear of . an reezlng. It was the worst night I ha live ever seen, and the coal hunkers ha n the Yarrowdnle seemed like n pal- wc ce compared to the compartments, 1 ecnuse we could at least movrHronnd cin i the ship, while In the train we could ot move at all, and were packed so tin lose that we could not even stretch (,n ur legs and arms. Some of the men we Id die, hut not In my compartment, *t( hough most of us were frost-bitten ?)i bout the face. t jm We thought that nlgtit would never ice nd, but day came finally, and though coi I seem<*d to get colder and colder, we fel lid not mind It so much. At about bn leven that morning, we arrived at a ] ilace called Mlnden and saw a prison to amp there?Just a stockade near the ini rucks with the hoys out in the open, tin Ve waved to them, and they waved an eh and tara a or two. W? Uu - _____ It sorry for t!\eni, because we knew., ? were not goihg to that camp, and im what little we saw, we knew wo uld not be going to a. worse place rin tliey.were in. I shall never tort Mlnden, because It Wns here that J. reived iho only cigarette I had while vas in German^. Mlnden Is quite a railway center, I ess, and when we pulled Into the pot, we saw uiany troops going to e front or coming back. As at all portent German railway stations, ere was a Red Cross booth on the itform, with Germnn girls handing t barley coffee and other things to e Germnn soldiers. I saw a large unty on the platform, with a Red oss painted over the door. I saw e girls giving hurley coffee to the Idlers, and I thought I would have try at It and at least be polite ough to give the girls n chance of fusing me. I was refused all right, t they were so nusty about It that I t down my head and let something p. I do not remember just what It is. but It was not very complimenty, I guess. Anyhow, I did not think yone uenr there understood Engh, but evidently some one beard roe io did, for I got an awful boot that tided me ten or twelve feet away, fell on my hands and knees, and out a yard away I saw n cigarette nb. I dived for It like a man falling a football, and when I eitrae up at si 11b whh sufely in my pocket, id It stayed there until I reached ilmen and had a chance to light It hind the barracks. If any of the her men had smelled real tobacco, ey would probably have murdered p. at d I could not have blamed them r It. That wns the first and last cigarette got In Gevimrny, and you can be>ve me when I say that I enjoyed There was not much to It, but I inked It until there was not enough rt to hold In tny mouth, and the a I im! whs* was loft and mixed it with o ha"!. <hat we inutlo cigarettes 5Ut. . Incidentally, this hark was great utT- I do not know what kliul of co It was from, hut it served the irpose. Whenever a fellow wanted smoke and lit one of these bark garottes, a few puffs wore enough. The First and Last Cigarette. i did not want to smoke again for me time afterward, and like us not, did not want to eat either. t They re therefore very valuable. It is very hard to get matches in e camps, and when any prisoner os get hold of one, it is made to last long time. Here Is how we make a itch last. Some one gives ui> the eve of his coat, and the match is refully lit, and t lie coat sleeve mod to a crisp. Then we take n ttnn trim our couts?the buttons e brass with two holes in them? ss a shoestring through the holes, ot the ends, und with the button in 8 center of the string, buzz it around you have seen boys do, with the dag over both hands, moving the nds together und apart until the tton revolves very fast. We then put a piece of flint against 8 crisped cloth, und buzz the button ainst it until a spark makes the sp glow, and front this we would ht our bark cigarettes. I do not nk any man in the world could lnle one of these hark cigarettes: ine of us tried und went right to op. CHAPTER XXI. A Visit From Mr. Gerard. [.ate that night we arrived at Dul n, Westphalia. We were rousted t of the carriages, mustered on the itfornt, counted, then drilled through ? streets. In spite of the lateness, "> streets were nrettv \v?.ll nn?..i .. ui. iiple, and they zig-ztigged us through th?' streets they could, so that all !? people would have a chance to see s crazy men, as they called us. Most the people were women, and as soon they saw us coming, they began iglng the "Watch on the Jthlne" or lie other German song, and It was tiny to see windows opening and fut ins. with night-caps on, sticking Ir heads out of the windows. They mid give us a quick once-over, and >e up like a boatswain: "Schwelnnd?Vnterland?Wacht am Ilhein" til kinds of things and all mixed up. ' Ko we gave them "Tippemry" and ack Up i'our Troubles," and r>wed them how to sing. Our guards d no ear for music and tried to stop , hut though they knocked several n down, we did not stop until we <1 finished the song. Then, after we il admitted to each other that we i re not downhearted, we shut up. i IV e would.have done so, anyway, bouse by this time we were on the outirts.of the town, and we needed all ? breath we had. The road we were | was Just line long sheet of Ico, and > could hardly walk more than four ps without slipping and falling. My r>es had wooden soles, and It wus >t one hang after another, with tho ; > and myself trying to see which J nld hit the hardest. Every time we 1?smash! cume a rifle over the ck. I was getting pretty tired, so I said some of the fellows that I was go; to sit down and rest, und they said cy would ulso. So we dropped out d wniled until the guards behind j d Just wbynl cayght" up with urn und ?? . ? ^ then we wouM go on. We did this several times until they got on to us, ami we could not do It any more.. j I Up the rotd a piece I fell again, and this time I did not care what hap- ' pened, so I Just sat there In the ! middle of the rond'Untll Fritz came up. ' I Instead of giving me the bayonet, he ; made me take olT my shoes?that Is, he took them off of me with a knife through the strings?aad I had to walk ^ the rest of the way in my bare feet. : It was about four miles altogether ^ from the station to the camp. When w? got netjr the camp, all the boys came out of the barracks and T lined up along the bnrhed wire, aud \> yelled us a welcome. We usked them r if they were downhearted, and they r said no, and we said we were not elth- I er. We could hardly see them, but they began yelling again when wo got nearer, and asked us, "Is there anyone there from Queenstown?" and then Hull, and Portsmouth, and Dover, and Toronto and a lot of other plates." I did not pay much uttention until I heard, "Any Americans there?" and ' I yelled back, "Yes, where ure you?" "Barracks (1-B, Gruppc 3." "Where from*' I yelled. ^ "Boston. Where're you from?" "The U. 8. A. and Atlantic ports. See you later." . hi So. the next morning, I went over to 0j his barracks and asked foT the Yaak. They pointed hiui iuf to me, where he w was lying on the floor. I went ovei 01 and laid down with him, and we had in quite a talk. I will not give his name nl here for certnin reasons. d? lie hud received several wounds at ot the time he was taken prisoner, lie w had been in the Canadian service for tli two years. We used to talk about al New York and Boston and the different places we knew in both towns, and fr we also talked u lot about the rotten la treatment we were receiving, and tried dl to cook up some plan of escape. Put ni every one we could think of hud heon hi used by some one else, ami eitlier hud ri; fulled, or the IIuos hud flxed it so the ni plun could, not be tried again. We tn doped out some pretty wild schemes nt that. Altogether, we hecuiue great nf puis, and were together us much as ^1 possible at 'Dulmen. The day I left u, the camp, he gave me u ring made m from u shell, and told me to get it safely Nv hack to the States, but some one stole in it nt Rrnndenburg. j0 One day while I was in his barracks an Englishman stepped out of the door for some reason or other, and though he did not say a word to Fritz, In two ar minutes he was dead, In cold blood, We never knew why they killed him. tj, At Swlnemunde and Neustrolltz, I must admit that the Germans had us pretty badly buffaloed, hut at Dulmen the prisoners were entirely different. Dulmen was the receiving camp for the whole western front, und the prisoners there got to be pretty tough ? eggs, as far as Fritz was concerned, before they had been In camp many days. They thought nothing of picking a tight with a sentry and giving him a good battle, even though he was armed with rltle and bayonet. We soon learned that unless his pals are around a German will not stand by his arguments with his lists. In other pi words, 1/ he can out talk you, he will j. bent you up, but If Tie cannot, it Is a case of "Here comes Heinle' going ^ back." The Russian prisoners at Dulmen were certainly a miserable looking bunch. They spent most of their tlmo ln wandering-around the Russian bar- tv racks, hunting for rotten potato peel- qi Ings and other garbage, which they ta would eilt- Wlicn Uinv cm. I throw out his swill, they would dive ai right through the bnrbed wire one ^ after another, and their hands and 0< face and clothes were always torn from It. It was unhealthy to stand between the Itussians and their garbage prey?they were so speedy that nothing stopped them. th One morning, Just after bnrley-cof#cq time, I came out of the barracks to and saw an Australian arguing with the sentry. I was not only curious, lo but anxious to be u good citizen, us they say, so I went up and slung un f oar at them. The Australian had asked r Fritz what had been done with the flag that the Huns were ghlng to lly ? from the Klflfel tower In Paris. That was to# deep for Fritz, so the to Australian answered It himself. "Don't you know, Fritz? Well, we have no p, blankets, you know." Still the sentry did not get It. So the Apstrnllun carefully explained to me?so that Fritz could hear?that the , Hermans had no blankets and were using the flag to wrap their cold feet In. " This started a flight, of course?the German idea of a light, that Is. The sentry, being a very brave man for a 1 1 German, blew bis whistle very loudly, and sentries came from all directions. So we beat It to the Australian's barracks, and there I found the second American in the camp. He was a barber named Stlmson, from one of the " Western states. He had heard I was tlioro nu will ???j fl??? ????? i? ...? ..V.. ?... iiwmun milii in iiiu Canadian service, but he hud been 1? too aiek to look us np, and In fact did not care what happened, he was so miserable. He had heen wounded several times, aiul died in a day or two. I never knew how he came to he in c, the Austrullun service. i Those two anil myself were the only . Americans I knew of in this prison) camp?whether in Cnnudian, Austra-. Han or French service. The other two had been captured In uniform, so there was no chance of their being released. I Oilmen was very near the Dutch s' border and as it was quite easy to get i'? out of the camp uttempts at escape in were frequent. Most of those who ran se away were brought back, though. The Germans were so easy on those who tried to run away that I almost thought U) tliey were encouraging them. One ^ rhnp wer< doing his ten days In the guardhouse for the sixth time while ,v I wus there?that Is. he iiud Just ahoiA '1 completed his period of detention. lis a claimed tlint the sixth time he had v< really got across the border and was tc arrested In a little towu by the Dutch m authorities and turned over to the Ger- ai miuiM. That is against the law in most countries, but he swore It was the sj truth. I am not so sure, myself. He got away for the seventh time while I was at Dulmcn and was not returned. Ten days In the guardhouse is not such a light punishment after all, he- il cause water three times a day Is all 1 the prisoner received during that time, 8 LB!- , , , __'_!- 1 L lost of Those Who Ran Away Were Brought Back. Jt It is pretty nitl<l compured to some J the things the Iiuns ?lo. One morning I thought for sure I ns going cufiinl. I was Just fed up 1 the whole business and sick of dog nothing but suffer. So I strolled ong, sticking my bend into barracks >ors. sometimes trying to have a talk, her times trying to pick a fight. It as all one to me: I Just wanted someilng to do. I found whut I wanted, 1 right. I had quite a talk with a sentry in out of a barracks. It must have sted three-quarters of an hour. He d not know whut I was calling him, id I did not know what lie was call g me. I could have bundled hlni all ght, but another sentry came up on y blind side and grabbed tue and the lk was over. They dragged me to the commander ' the camp and he instructed tliein to ve me a bath. So they took me to e bathhouse, where I was stripped id laslied. All the time they were litpping me I was thinking what a ke it was on me, because I had been eking for excitement and had got ore than I wanted, so I laughed and e ITuns thought I was crazy sure. I was dumped into a vat of hot water id at the name time my clothes were von a boiling, which was good for em.
