''Continued from L??t Week")
Then I was forced Into my wet
clothes and marched back to the barracks.
This bath and the stroll
through the snow In wet clothes just
about did for me. Nowadays, when I
sit in a draft for n second nnd catch
cold, I wonder that I am still alive to
catclv It. Having gone through Dlxmude
and the Dardanelles and the
? sinking of the Georglc and four German
prison camps and a few other
things?I shalt probably trip over a
hole In a church carpet and break my
neck. That would be my luck.
There were all the diseases you can
think of In this camp, Including black
cholera and typhus nnd somebody was
always dying. We hud to make coffins
from any wood we could find. So It
was not long before we were using the
dividing boards from our bunks, pieces
of flooring and. In fact, the walls of
the barracks. The officers were quartered
In corrugated Iron barracks, so
they hnd to borrow wood from us for
'their coffins. We would make the box
and put the body In It, give It as much
^ service as we could, la the way of
JT prayers and hymns, and put It away In
a hole near the barracks. There was
so much of It that a single death
passed unnoticed.
One morning the German sentries
come to our barracks-?they never
came singly?and told us that an officer
was going to review the prisoners
and ordered us to muster up, which we
did. I was the lost man out of the barracks
and on account of my wounds I
was slower than the rest
You understand I had had no medical
treatment except crepe-paper bandages
and water: irsr wounds hnd hwn
opened by swimming from the Qeorglc
to the Moewe and they had been put
In terrible shape in the coal bunkers.
On account of the poor food and lack
of treatment they had not even started
to heal. Incidentally, the only cloth
bandages that any of ua had were what
we would tear from our clothes and I
have seen men pick up an old dirty
rag that someone else had had around
h'^ wound for a long time and bandage
his own wounds with it.
So It was all I could do to drag myself
along. The officer noticed that I
was out of line and immediately asked
my name and nationality. When he
heard "American" he could not say
enough things about us and called me
all the swine names he could think of.
I was pretty thin at this time and
getting tlilnner, so I figured I might
Just as well have it out before I
starved. Besides, I thought, he ought
to know that we are not used to being
bawled out by- German swine in this
country.
So I told him so. And I said that he
should not bawl Americans out, because
America was neutral. He then
said that as America supplied food and
munitions to the allies ihe was no better
than the rest
Then I said: "Do you remember the
Deutschland? When she entered Bal-"
tlniore and New LonriAn ?h* vnt nil iho
enrgo she wanted, didn't 3he?"
"Yes."
"Well, If you send over your merchant
marine they will get the saitoe."
For that answer he gave me ten days
in the guardhouse. He did not like to
be reminded that their merchant ma>
rlne had to dive under to keep away
from the Limeys.
I admit I was pretty flip to this officer,
but who would not be when a
slick Gerinun swine officer bawled him
out?
It was while I was In the guardhouse
that Mr. Gerard, the American ambassador,
visited the camp. He came to
this camp about every six months, as
a rule. Even In the German prison
camps the men had somehow got Information
about Mr. Gerard's efforts to
Improve the terrible surroundings In
which the men lived. Some of the men
nt Dulmen had been confined In various
other camps and they told me that
when Mr. Gerard visited these camps
all that the men did for a week or so
afterward was to talk about his visit
and what he had said to them. We
knew Mr. Gerard had got the Germans
to make conditions better In some of
the worst hell-holes in Germany and
the men were always glad when he
came around. They felt they had some
tnmg better to look forward to and
aome relief from the awful misery.
Mr. Gerard was passing through the
French barracks and a man I knew
there told him there was an American
there. The Germans did not want him
to see me, but he put up an argument
with the commanding officer and they
finally said he could Interview me. I
never was so glad to see anyone as
X was to see him. The picture Is still
with me of him coming In the door.
We talked for about an hour and a
half, I guess, and then he got up to
go and he said I would hear from him
In about three weeks. Just think what
good news that was to met
They let me out of the guardhouse
and I celebrated by doing all the damage
to German sentries that I could
I do. The men In the camps went wild
when they learned that Ambassador
Gerard was there, for they said he was
the only man in Germany they could
tell their troubles to. The reason was
that he was strong for the men. no
matter what nationality, and put his
heart Into the work. I am one of
those who cannot say enough good
things about him. Like many others,
If It had^not been for Mr. Gerard 1
would be kaput by now.
A few days after this I waa alow

wounds, which made me hot Vow 1 *
had decided, on thinking It oVer, that
the beat thing to do waa to be good, j
since I was expecting to b^ 1 eased,
and X thought It would be tough luck
to be killed Just before I was to be
released. But I had been In the Amer- J
lean nary and any garby of the U. 8. A.
would hare done what I did. It must
be the training we get, for when a
dirty trick Is pulled off on us we gtt
ery nervous around the hands and are
not always ahle to control them.
80 I went for the sentry and walloped
him In the Jaw. Then I received
his bayonet through the fleshy part of
the forearm. Most bayonet wounds
that we got were In the arm. But
those arms were in front of our faces
at the time. The sentrlet did not aim
for our arms, you can bet on that. A
wound of the kind I got would be nothing
more than a white streak If properly
attended to, but I received absolutely
no attention for It and It was
a long time In healing. At that, I was
lucky; another bayonet stroke Just
grazed my stomach.
I had been at Dulmen for three
weeks when wo were transferred to
Branifenburg, Havel, which la known
as "the hell-hole of Germany" to the
prisoners. "It certainly la not too
strong a name for It either.
On the way we changed tralna at
Osnabruck and from the station platform
I saw German soldiers open up
with machine guns on the women and
children who were rioting for food.
CNAPTKft XXII.
The Hell Hole of (Unrnnv"
On arriving at Brandenburg we were (
marched the three or four miles north- ^
wast to the camp. While we were being
marched through the streets a
woman walked alongside of us for ?
quite a way, talking to the boys In
English and asking them about the (
war. She said she did not believe (
anything the German papers printed. y
She said she was an Englishwoman
from Liverpool and that at the out- j
break of the war not being able to
get out of Germany, she and her children
had been put In prison and that
every day for over a week they had
pht her through the third degree; that 1
her children had been separated from
her and that she did not know where
they were.
She walked along with us for several
blocks until a sentry heard her say
something not very complimentary to '
the Germans and chased her away.
When we arrived at the camp we were 8
put Into the receiving barracks and
kept there six days. The condition of '
these barracks was not such that you .
could describe It. The floors were actually
nothing but filth. Very few of 8
the bunks remained; the rest had been
torn down?for fudi I suppose.
The day we were transferred to the
regular prison barracks four hundred
Russians and Belgians were burled. 1
Most of them had died from cholera. , ^
typhoid and Inoculations. We heard
from the prisoners there before us that
the Germans had come' through the
camps with word that there was an
epidemic of black typhus and cholera ^
and that the only thing for the men to (
do was to take the serum treatment to t
avoid catching these diseases. Most of r
the four hundred men had died from ^
the Inoculations. They had taken tbs f
Germans' word, had been Inoculated y
and had died within nine hours. Which (
shows how foolish It Is to believe a n
German. None of us had any doubt r
but what the serum was poisonous. '
The second day that we were In the (
regular camp the Germans strung L
barbed wire all around our barracks. (
They told us we had a case of black
typhus among us. This was nothlnir
? y
more nor less than a bluff, for not one y
of us had typhus, but they put up the
wire, nevertheless, and we were not ^
allowed to go out.
One day when I was loafing around
our barracks door and not having anything
particularly Imports^- to do, I
packed a nice hard snowban and landed
It neatly behind the ear of a little
sentry not far away. When he looked
around he did not blow hla whistle but
began hunting for the thrower. This
was strange In a German sentry and I
thought he must be pretty good stuff.
When he looked around, however, all
he saw was a man staggering around
as If he were drunk. The man was
the one who hod done the throwing, all
right, but the sentry could not be sure
of it, for surely no man would stay
out In the open and Invite accidents
like that. But still, who had done It?
So I Just kept staggering around,
and the sentry came up to me and
looked me over pretty hard. Then 1
thought for the first time that things
might go hard on me, but I figured
that If I quit the play acting It would
be all over. 80 I staggered right up
to the sentry and looked at him drunkenly,
expecting every moment to get
one from the bayonet.
But tie was ao surprised that all he
could do was stare. So I stared back,
pretending that I saw two of him, and
otherwise acting foolish. Then I guess
he realized for the first time that the
chances of anybody being drunk -ia
that camp were small?at least for the
prisoners. He was rubbing his ear
all the time, but finally the thought
seeped through the Ivory and he began
to laugh. I laughed, too, and the first
thing you know he had me doing it
again?that is, the imitation. One 4
snowball was enough, I figured.
I used to talk to him quite often 1
after that. We had no particular 1
love for* each other, but he was gamer 1
than the other sentries, and he did not 1
call me schwelnhund every time he saw
me, ao we got on very well together. '
His name must have been Schwarts, I 1
guess, but it sounded like ?8watta" to
me, so Swatts he was, and I was 4
"Chink" to him, as everybody else 1
called me that .
One day he asked me If I could 1
speak French, and I said yes. Italian;
yes. Russian; yes. No matter what 1
language he mlcht have mentioned I '
would have said yes, because I could 4
smell something in the wind, and I '
was curldUs. Then he told me that If 1
I went to the hospital and worked 1
there, I might get better meals and J
would not have to go ao far for them, 4
and that my knowlqg all the languages '
I said I did would help me a greet <
ways toward getting the Job.
Evidently he bad been told to get a 1
man for the place, because he ap- 1
pointed me to It then and there. He 1
Si
me to work right away. We went |
?g? nss in n i -=
case of sickness had been reported, ' 06
ind found that the Invalid was a bis ' *?
Barbados* negro named Jim, a lire- j
nan from the Voltaire. At one time
Jim moat have weighed 260 pounds, 1 ha
but by this time he was about two kc
pounds lighter than a straw hat, bnt | wt
itlll black and full of pep. Light as
He was, I was no "white hope." and It
was all I could do to carry him to the
lospftal. Swatts kept right along behind
me, and every time I would stop
to rest, he Would poke me with a P'
>room?the only broom I saw In Ger- hs
nany?and laugh and point to his ear.
Then I. thought it was a frame-up rll
ind that he was getting even with me, al
jut I was In for It then, and the best
[ could do was to go through with It. fr
Rut I was all In when we reached the cu
lospltal. The first thing 1 saw when th
we got In the door was another negro, w
ilso from Barbadoes, and as tall and
thin as Jim had once been short and m
Fat. This black boy and I made a <"<
treat team, bnt I never knew what th
lis name was. I always called him ??
Kate, because night and day he was re
whistling the old song, "Kate, Kate, ^
If eet Me at the Garden gate," or words W4
to that effect. I have waked up many |j0
i night and heard that whistle just tei
tbout at the same place as when I had
'alien asleep. It would not have been ^
to bad If he had known all of It. Qf
I took Swatts' broom and cleaned ut
ip, and then asked where the coal or ta
vood was. This got a great laugh. It w
vas quite humorous to the men who
tad shivered there for weeks, .maybe, jn1
>ut to me It was about as funpy as a to
ry for help. I got wood though, be- q4
ore I had been there lonf* There
was a great big cupboard

rhlef cook and bottle washer for a |j0
vblle; anA, besides, there was some- fe
hlng about hlra that made him look jj(
iretty valuable. I had not recognized

"How'd I know? Nnthln' In It." g,
"Slim, that would make a fine box ca

"Dm. Wbar de coal an* wood 7"
"I'm going out and take observe- f0,

That did the trick. The black boy BC1
en
vould watch from the hospital win- n
lows until he saw the coast was clear, '
hen we would slip Into the barracks '
text door, and he would watch again.
Vhen there was no sentry near
nough to hear us, crash 1 and out
vould come a dividing board from the
>unks. When we hud an armful aal
piece, and had broken them up to the *
lght lengths, all we needed was a lit- 1)11
le more watching, and then back to jjai
he hospital and the big cupboard. I ^
,ater on, our men told me they used ln8
o watch the smoke that poured from ""
he hospital chimney all the time and an
vender where on earth we got the aRI
food.
We got the same kind of food in the
lospltal that was served In'the other
arracks, and 1 would not have had
ny more than I used to, except that ?
oinetimes some of the twenty-six patents
could not eat their share, and
hen, of course, It was mine. One day,
hough, we all had extra rations. foi
Two Russian doctors came to visit pr<
is each day, and once they were fool- .
sh enough, or kind enough, to ask If
ve had received our rations?we had Lh<
ecelved them earlier than usual and
hey were finished at the time. Of
ourse, I said no, so they ordered the aK
lusslan In the kitchen to deliver t-?
wenty-elght rations to us, which was tw
tot quite three loaves of bread. We
rere that much ahead that day, but It (>u
rould not work when I tried the trick ta;
gain.
One day a German doctoV came to ajt
he hospital barracks. He would not
ouch anything while he was there? tul
lot even open the door. All of the 20
mtlents bad little cards attached to
lielr beds?charts of their condition. ex<
iVhen the German wanted to see these
liarts the Russian doctors had to hold th?
hem for him.
I was having a great time at the to
lospltal, wrecking the barracks next
loor each day for wood, along with
tatr, and getting a little more food ?
lometlmeg, and was always nice and
varm. I thought myself quite a pet. *r<
Compared to what I had been up
igulnst. It seemed like real comfort, o'c
Hut the more food I got, the more 1
wanted. And It was food that brought to
nn ilnwn mttar all
Across from us was a barracks Id t()
which there were English officers, and |
iomehow It seemed to me that they | ,
nust have had a drag. Every once Id u(
i while I saw what looked like vegetables
sod bags of something that was ?'(
i dead ringer for brown flour. So I
told 811m, or Kate, as I was calling him 3
>y then, and with him on guard, 1
uieaked out.
After two or three false starts, I got u
>ver our barbed wire and their barbed
wire, and In through a window.
There I saw carrots I And graham n
lour! 10
I took all I could carry, to divide up
arlth Kate, and then started eating, to
to as not to waste anything. It was
. ertainly some feast?the only thlug
besides mud bread and barley coffee to
ind "shadow" soup that I had to eat
in Germany. Then I started back to
the hospital. I got over their barbed
aire all right, and Kate gave me the
to-ahead for onr entanglements, but
lust as I was going over them a sentry
nabbed me. At first I thought Kate
bad turned traitor, because we had f0
tiad a little argument a short time be* j ,
fore. at
But later An I figured that he would 1
M* hav% 4mM a. trtdfc lUe tfeftt. and

sides, he knew I was bringing htm |
mething to eat So the sentry must J

sy back to my old barracks.
CHAPTER XXIil.
Despair?and Freedom.
While I was working at the bostal
conditions at my old barracks
td been getting worse and worse,
sry few of the men were absolutely
ght In the head. I guess, and almost
1 had given up hope of ever getting
tt alive. Though they put up a good
ont to the Huns, they really did not
ire a great deal what huppened to ,
em. The only thing to think about
ns the minute they were living In. :
The day I came back two Kugltah-1
en, who had suddenly gone mad.
uumenced to fight each other. It watt
ic most terrible fight I have ever
ien. It was some time before thr 1
at of us could make them quit, be- <
use at first we did not know they '
?re crazy. When we had them down,
iwever, they were scratched and bitn
and pounded from heud to foot. 1
>th of them bled from the nose all
at night, and toward morning one
them became sane for a few mines
and then died. The other was
ken away by the Germans, still
azy.
Another time an Australian came
to our barracks and very seriously
(d ug that he had a drag with the
?rman officers and that he had been
dinner with them, and hud had tury,
potatoes, coffea, butter, eggs,
gar In his coffee, and all the luxuries
iu could think of. We Just sat and
sred at him. It seemed Impossible
at any of our own men would have
e gall to tortura us like that, and yet
3 could not possibly believe that It
id really happened. Finally, one
llow could not stand It any longer,
a was nothing bat skin and bones,
it ha grabbed a dividing board and
ere were Just two wallops: the
>ard hit the Australian's head and

iren more pounced onto htm and
ive him a real licking. When he
me to he had forgotten all about
e wonderful dinner he did not hare.
Not long after this the Russian doers
proved to the Germans that there
is no black typhus In our barracks
d we were allowed the freedom of
e camp except that we could not
lit the Russian barracks. That was
hnrdshlp to me nor to the rest of
, except one chap from the Cambrian
inge, who had a special pal among
e Russians that he wanted to see.
id, of course, when It was verboten,
wanted to see him all the more.
k day or two after the order I was
sndlng outside the barracks door
ten I saw this fellow come out with
llvldlng board In his hand. I thought
was going to smash somebody with
so I stood by. But he stooped over
d Jammed one end of the board
alnst the threshold of the door,
ratched the ground with the farther
d of the board and measured again.
? kept this up, length by length, in
? direction of the Russian barracks,
le sentry In the yard stopped and
ired at him, btft the fellow kept
;ht on, paying no attention to anydy.
Pretty soon he was right by the
ltry's feet and I thought any minute ?
s sentry would give him the butt,
t he Just stared a while and let him ,
s. That lad measured the whole ,
itance to the Russian barracks, went
tide, stayed a while and calmly ,
oiled back with the board under his
ti. When he reached our barracks '
aln he told us he had found a vino
ne. What he had found was someng
not so unusual?a boneheuded
rman. 1

TRY IT SUBSTITUTE
FOR NASTY CALOMEL
Starts your liver without making you
sick and cannot salivate
Every druggist in town?your
iruggist and everybody's druggist
las noticed a great falling off in th?
sale of calomel. They all give the
lame reason. Dodson's Liver Tone
s taking its place.
"Calomel is dangerous and people
<now it, while Dodson's Liver Tone
it perfectly safe and give better remits,1"
said a prominent local druggist.
Dodson's Liver Tone is personally
guaranteed by every druggist
who sells it. A large bottle costs but
a few cents, and if it fails to' give
easy relief in every case of liver sluggishness
and constipation, you have
only to ask for your money back.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasanttasting,
purely vegetable remedy,
harmless to both children and adults.
Take a spoonful at night and wake up
feeling fine; no biliousness, sick headache,
acid stomach or constipated
bowels. It doesn't gripe or cause inconvenience
all the next day like violent
calomel. Take a dose of calomel
today and tomorrow you will
feel weak, sick and nauseated. Don't
lose a day's work! Take Dodson's
Liver Tone instead and feal fine, full
of vigor and ambition. Adv. 5.
