There watt a lot of.bamboo near the

and had a fine chance to get more to |
eat. But they were treated like dogs?
-4jUfU- ta,.alL except the few Cossacks
that were In the bunch. The Huns
knew that a Cossack never forgets und
will get revenge for the slightest mistreatment,
even If It means his death.
I have seen sentries turn aside from
the beat they were walking and get out
of the way when they saw a Cossack |
coining. There were very few Cosh- :
aeks there, however. I do not think '
they let themselves get enptured very
often.
We had roll call every morning, of
course, and were always mustered In
front of our barracks, the middle of
the line being right at the barrncks
door. Sometimes when the cold got
too much for them, the men nearest
the door would duck Into the barracks.
As they left the ranks the
other men would close up and this
kept the line even, with the center still
a opposite the barracks door. Finally
almost all of the men would be in the
barracks and by the time the roll war.
over not one remained outside. This
seemed to peeve the German officers*
a grent deal, l?ut they did not punish
' us for It until we had been doing It
for some time.
For several days I had noticed that
soipeone else nnswered for two men
who had disappeared; at least I had
not seen them for some time. I did
not think much about it, or ask any
questions, and I did not hear anyone
else talk about It, but 1 was pretty
sure the two men, a Russian and a
Britisher, had escaped. But they were
marked present at rdll call and all
accounted for. Everything went along
very well until one day when the name
"f ontuine" got by without being un- '
Bwered. Fontaine wns n French fire- '
man from the Cambrian Range nml '
that was the first time he had not been '
* p-o?iont. We caw what wns coming '
and wo began to get pretty sore nt (
Fontaine for not telling us. so we could 1
answer for him and keep the escape '
covered.
The minute they found our count
one short they blew the whistles and
a squad of sentries caine up us an '
extra guard. They counted us again,
but by sneaking back of the line and (
closing up again we made the count (
all right except for one mnn?Fon- ,
talne. We would have tried to cover
up for him, except that they hnd already
discovered his absence. Now,
we thought, they will nab Fontaine
but will not discover the escape of the
others.
Rut evidently they suspected something,
for soon they brought over a
petty officer from H. M. S. Nomad,
who had not been with us before, and
forced him to call the roll from the
mustering papers, while they watched
the men as they uuswercd. Then they
discovered that two more besides Fontaine
were missing and began to seandi
for them.
The other two apoke Oermun and
I had been missing tor at least three
days and, I think, had escaped by this
time. They were not returned while
I wns at Ilrandeuburg.
This was about 7 a. in. They drilled
us down to the little luke, where the
cold war much greater, and kept us
there until 5 p. in., without food or
drink. At about eight that morning
they found Fontaine In a French barracka
and kicked him all the way to
the lake where we were.
All day long we stood there, falling
one by one and getting kicked or beaten
each time until we dragged ourselves
up ugain. Two or three died?
I do not know the exact number. But
we had enough strength, when ordered i
back to the barracks, to kick Fon- <
talne ahead of us all the way. We *
did not get anything to eat until seven
the next morning?twenty-four hours
without food and water, ten of which
were spent in the snow without any
protection from the cold and wind.
No wonder we kicked Fontaine for
bringing this punlshnu nt on uh and endangering
the two who had escaped?

French barracks and forgot to return. 1
Now, the food received wan Just 1
about enough to keep us alive. I sup- 1
pose, with true kultur, the Huns had 1
figured out Just how much It would
take to keep a man on this side of '
> the starvation line and gave us that 1
much and no more. So we were always '
famished?always hungrier than you '
probably ever have been. But some- 1
times when we were ravenously bun- '
gry and could not hold out any longer
we would trade rations.
One man would trade his whole ration
for the next day for a half ration
today. That Is, .If you were so hungry 1
that you thought you could not last *
out the day on your regular share, you 1
would tell someone else that If he gave
you half his share today you would j
glvo him all of yours tomorrow. If he J
was a gambler he would tuke you up. 1
That is, he would gamble on his being 1
alive tomorrow, not on your keeping 1
your word. lie knew you would come '
across with your ration the next day, 1
and like ns not, If you tried to keep It 1
from him, he would kill you, and no- 1
body would blame htm.
It certainly was hard, when the next
day came, to give up your whole ration ]
and go without that day. But I never
saw a man hedge, or even speak of It.
And we did not have any food pirate*
among as either: we were not captains

One Man Would Trade His Whole Ra- <

There Were times when some of nn *
;ould not eat certain of our rations. 8
For instance, many nnd many a time
[ was as hungry as anybody could be, (
ind I \vanted to eat my brend, but It 1
seemed as If I could not get It Into 1
my mouth. Then I would trade It with 1
someone else for his "shadow soup" or ^
lis barley coffee. 1
We were dying every day In Bran- 1
lenhurg and after each death the
lenlor men of that barracks would de- 1
all twelve of their number to go out *
!or half an hour and dig the grave, 1
vhlle others made little crosses, on 1
vhlch they wrote or carved the man's '
lame, when he was captured, and his 1
eglment or ship. In the middle of !
he cross were always the letters.

One time we were ordered to report
:o the German doctors for a scrum
rent men t of some kind?to receive ail |
njeetlon, in other words. There was (
jo choice shout it this time, us we
were simply herded together to the ,
lospltal barracks. Now, I knew what
:hese things were like ni*d how brutal (
the German doctors were in giving un
Injection, so I wanted to be the very ,
first man and not have to witness the
Jther tuen getting theirs. \
So I pushed up to the head of the
line, with the crew of H. M. S. Nomad,
who had been captured in the Jutland
battle, and by the time we got to the
iiospltul was the very first man In line. (
Ihit the sentry threw me buck and t
there were several men uhead of me. |
Each of them bared his chest and the
loctors slashed them across the breast t
with u very thin knife, so you can see f
that it was very painful. When It ?
?nme to my turn they slashed me three t
times in the shape of a triangle just to f
?ne side of the hreust. And tliut was t
nil there was to it?no injection, noth- ,
ing on the knife that I could see. t
Now, I do not know what the idea
was. Every man of us was dlziy for |
the r?rt of the day and could n it do ' f
.nythlng but lay around the barracks. | r
And hardly any of us hied a drop > j
though the gashes were deep. I do not
think we had any blood in us to run, 1

lost another Gorman trick that no one
>onld explain.
One day a war correspondent named
Bennett, from a Chicago paper, came
o the ennip and went through all the
wrrncks. When he came to our har neks
I told him I was an Amerlcun
ind asked for the news. Insteud of
answering he began to ask all sorts
)f questions. Finally, after I had told
ilm I had been In the French service,
[ asked him If he eouid help me In any
vay. He answered that I hud only inylelf
to hlnme and that It served me
*lght If I had been in one of the allied
irmles.
I did not like his lookfl much and he
iceined unfriendly, but when he began
imoking a cigarette It almost drove me
*rnzy and I could not help asking for
me. lie refused me and said I should 1
inve stayed In my own country, where
[ could have had plenty of cigarettes, j r

When my three weeks were up and r
[ had not lieard from Mr. Oerard I was
lust about ready to go <Jown to the
lake and pick out a vacant apot and j
ay down In It. I really do not think i,
[ could have lasted two weeks longer, u
\nd just about that time, as I was H
walking back to barracks one day. a r
frenchman showed mo a Gorman i

(Gunner Depew*s Interview with Mr. [
3erard took place at the Dulmen prison

February I,' our atate department demand- I

lewspamr that Gunner Depew saw must
lave been Issued after February 10. It
was not until March 9, 1917, however, that
3unner Depew was actually released from
Brandenburg.?Editor's Note.]
I do not know what happened during
he next few days.
Bui a week or so later the Spanish
unbassudor and four German officers ,
ind Swutts came to our barracks and j
he umbassador told me I would be
'cleused! It was all I could do to
ceop from fainting again. Thea-Swatts
isked me In English If I had anything
o say about the treatment In the
:amp, and I began to think maybe
t was a frame-up of some kind, so all
! said was, "When will I get out of
lere?" and he said, "Why, you will be
elenscd tomorrow."
I did not wait to hear any more, but
usiu-u into tne nnrrucks again, Ringing
ind whistling untl yelling as loud as I
ould. The boys told me my face was
'ery red and I guess what little blood
bad In my body had rushed to my
lead, becuuse I could hurdly walk for
i few minutes.
Then the men begun to think I was
;rnzy, and none of them believed 1
(vould really be released, but that I
ivus going to be sent to the mines, as
10 many were. But I believed It, and
[ just sut there on my bunk and be?an
to dream of the food I would get
Hid what 1 would eut first, und so on.
I did not sleep thut night?Just
walked from barracks to barracks untlll
they chased me uway, and then
tvulked up and down in my own burracks
the rest of the night. When 1
got to the Russian barracks and told
the two doctors my news, they would
not believe me at all, although they
knew there had been some important
visitor ut the camp.
But when I wulked out of their door
[ said, "Dobru vetshav," which means
"Good night I" Then- they must have
believed me, for they called me back,
und ull the men guve me uddresses of
people to write to In cuse I should get
away.
They were all talking at once, and
one of the doctors got very excited and
got down on his knees with his hunib
In the air. "Albert," he suld, "If you
have the God-given luck to get out of
Germany?not for my sake, but for
the suke of us who are here in this
hull-hole, promise me you will tell all
lhe people wherever you go what they
lire doing to us here. Tell them not tc
tend money, for we can't eat money
ind not meat?Jost bread, bread,

And when I looked around all the
nen were sitting on their beds crying
ind tearing their hair and saying,
'bread, bread, bread," over und over
igaln. Then each tried to give me
loiuethlng, as if to say that even If
hey did not get dut, perhaps their buton
or belt-or skull cup would get back
o civilization.
When I left thefr barracks 1 began
o cry, becuuse it did not seem posilble
that 1 was going uway, und ul eady
I could see them starving slowy,
Just as I hud been starving.
The next morning a sentry came tc
ay barracks, called out my nume and ,
ook me to the communder of the
rump. They searched me, and then
lrllled me back to burrucks again.

ust playing a Joke on me, and they
laid so.
The same thing happened tho next
lay, and when one of the men said
hut prohubly I would be slammed up
igalnst a wall and shot, I began to feel
ihaky, I can tell you.
Hut the third morning, after they
iad searched me, the commander said,
'Well, you'll have to have a bath beore
you leuve the country," and I
vas so glad that I did not mind about
he hath, although I remembered the
nst one I hud, and It did not agree
ery well with me. After the bath, ,
hey drilled me out Into the roud.
There were four sentries with me,
>ut not Swntts, nor did I see him
inywhere around, for which I wus sor y.
Hut all the boys came down to
he barbed wire, or to the gate, and
lome were crying, and others were
heerlng, und all of them were very
nnch excited. Hut after a minute or
wo they got together ugaln and the
ast thing I heurd wus the song about
>acklng up your old kit hag, and then,
'Are we downhearted??Nol" They
vere certainly guipe lads.
They did not take me straight to
he station, hut took me through all
he streets they could find, and us uslal,
the women were there with the
tricks und spit. Hut I did not mind:
was used to it, and besides, It was
he last time. 80 I Just grinned at
hem, and thought that I was better
iff than they, because they had to stuy
11 the hole called Germuny.
I was still half naked, but I did not
nlnd the two-hour wait on the station
ilutforin. I noticed a little sign thut
end, "Herilu 2o miles north," and
hut was the first time I had much of
in Idea where Hrandenburg was.
When we got into the compartment
ind I found thut the windows were
mt smashed I could not believe it at
Irst until I remembered that this was
tot a prisoner train. We had a forty,(,.?*+

nlnd it much. At Llndau they drilled
no into a little house and took away
ill the addresses thot I had, and
lien inarched me over to the little
ioat which crosses the lake.
As I started up the gangway the last

ubbed my eyes and could not believe
L When they guve me bread, which

vas in heaven sure enough, and when,
orty-flve minutes later, we arrived at
Rorschach in Switzerland, I finally
mew I was free. |
CHAPTER XXIV.
Back In th? State*.
After I urrlved at Rorschach I was
taken to a large hall, where I remained
over night. There were three
American llugs on the wulls, the drat
I had seen in a long time. I certainly
illd a flue job of sleeping that night,
t think I slept twice as fast to make
up for lost time.
. In the mornlug I bad a regular banquet
for breakfast?eggs, coffee, bread
and a small glass of wine. Even now,
although I never pass up a meal, that
breakfast Is still easy to taste, and I
sometimes wish I could enjoy another
lueul us much. But I guess I never
Bhull huve one that goes us good.
After breakfast they took me out on
the stops of the hall and photographed
me, ufter which 1 went to the rullwuy
station, with a young mob ut my heels.
It reminded me a bit of Oermuny?It
was so different. Insteud of bricks
and bayouet jubs, the mob gave me
:lgarettes and chocolate and sandwiches.
They also hauded me questions?enough
to keep mo busy answering
to this day If I could.
I got on the train to Zurich, and at
every stop on the way there were more
presents and more cameras nnd more
questions. At St. Gullen they had
cards ready for me to write on, and
then they were going to send them to
anybody I wished. The stutlon ut
Zurich was packed with people, and I
begun to think I was a star for sure.
Francis B. Keene, the Amerlcun consul
generul ut Zurich, and his assistant,
were there to meet me. We
wulked a few blocks to his office, and '
all the way the cameras Pore clicking
and the chocolates and cigarettes piling
up until I felt like Santa Glaus on
December 24th. After u little talk
with Mr. Keene, he took tne to the
Stussehof hotel, where my wounds
were dressed?and believe me, they
needed It.
The Swiss certainly treated me well.
Every time I came out on the streets
they fcllowed me around, and they
used to give me money. But the money
night Just us well have been leather
or lead?I could not spend It. Whenever
I wanted to buy anything the
shopkeeper would make me a present
of It.
I also visited the Hotel Dour au Lac,

of Chicago, who are doing
such fine work with the Red Cross

his name, but he ate so much that
he felt nshumed afterward.
I do not think he got In had for It,
though, for afterward Mr. and Mrs.
McCormlck each gave him a valuable
present, which he needed badly. After
the dinner Mrs. McCormlck made a little
patriotic speech, in which she said
that the Iluns would never trample on
the United States Aug, and some other
things that made all the Americans
there very proud, especially Mr. Keene
und myself. So you see I was having
u great time.
Hut I was having a little trouble, all
the time, for this reason: there were
quite a few Germans Interned in Zurich,
and they went about In uniform.

< penlng to me Jo*t a abort time before
; my hands began to Itch. Relieve me,
' It was not "good morning" that 1
1 said to them. I enjoyed It all right;
they were not In squuds and had no
arms, so It was hand to hand, and pie
for me.
But Mr. Keene did not like It, 1
guess, for he called me to his office
one morning an^l bawled me out for n
while, and I promised to be good.
"You're supposed to be neutral," he
suld. And I said, "Yes, and when I
was torpedoed and taken prisoner. I
was supposed to be neutral, too." But
I said I would not look for trouble uny
more, and started back to the hotel.
But no sooner was I dflflerway than
a Hun private caine along and began
to laugh at me. My hands Itched
again, und I could not help hut slam
him a few. We went round and round
for a while, and then the Hun reversed
and went down instead. Mr.
Keene saw us, or heard ubout It, so he
told me I had better go to Berne.
So off I went, with my pnssport. But
the same thing happened In Berne. I
tried very hard, hut I Just could not
keep my hands off the Germans. So I
guess everybody thought It wus a good
thing to tell me good-by?anyway I
was shipped Into France, going direct
to St. Naznlre and from there to
Brest.
. I made a Rhort trip to Hull. Knglnnd,
with a letter from n man at Brandenburg
to his wife. She was not at home,
but I left the letter and returned to
France. I was In Frnnee altogether
about three weeks, and then went to
Barcelona, Spain.
Then I took passage for the States
on the C. Lopez y Lopez, a Spanish
nierchnntninn. We had mostly."Splgs"
on hoard, which Is navy slang for
Spaniards. Almost every one of them
had a large family of children and a
raft of pets. We snlled down thrnn??H
Valencln, Almerlu, Malaga, Cadiz and
Las I'almns In the Canary islands.
When we left Las Palmas we laid a
regular nienugerle aboard?parrots,
canary birds, dogs, monkeys and vurlous
beasts. Tbe steerage of that
boot was some sight, believe me.
We had boat drill all tbe way across,
of course, and from the way those
Splgs rushed about I knew thnt If a
submarine got us the only thing thnt
would he saved would be monkeys. Hut
we did not even huve u false ulurm ull
the way over.
I arrived In New York during the
month of July, 1017?two ytmrs and a
half from the time 1 decided to go
abroad to the war zone to get some excitement.
I got It, and no mistake.
New York harbor and the obi statue of
Liberty looked mighty good to me, you
cun bet.
So here I am, and sometimes I have
to pinch myself to be sure of It. I eertulnly
enjoy the food and warmth I
get here, and except for an occasional
pro-German I have no trouble with
anybody. My wounds break open once
In a while, and 1 am often bothered
Inside, on account of the gus I swallowed.
They say I cannot get back
Into the service. It Is tough to be
knocked out before our own boys get
iuto the scrap.
Hut I do oot know. I nm twentythree
year old, and probably have a
lot to live for yet. I ought to settle
down and be quiet for a while, but
comfortable as I am, I think I will
have to go to sen again. I think of It
many tltrcs, and each time It is harder
to stay ashore.

MR. COKER ON COTTON
Clemson College, S. C., Feb. '.i.?
In his report as a member of tht
American Agricultural Commission
which visited Europe last fall tc
study agricultural conditions, MiDavid
It. Coker, of Hartsville, ha;
the following to say concerning th?
status of cotton. It should prove tc
be interesting reading.
"Well posted experts also are con
fident that thL. demand for all kimk
of textile fibers will exceed the sup
..i.. r?_ - ? i ? r,M
yiy iui acvuitti yt'urs. i rns ap|>iaar.s
to me to be even more evident than
that there will be food scarcity aftei
1919. The supply of American cot
ton in Liverpool when our commission
sailed was about 100,000 bales,
of which only 10,000 were unsold
Mill buyers were actively looking
over the market for cotton suitnhb
for certain purposes, and were buy
ingf from one to five-bale lots wherever
they could find them. As soon
as any transportation can be found
a lurfje amount of cotton should be
forwarded to Liverpool, Manchester,
and other foreign ports, not only tci
be available for (he immediate needs
o*f the Allied countries, but to be on
hand there for export to the Central
Empires as soon as they are allowed
to handle our raw materials.
"While I believe the laws of supply
and demand will operate to re|
store cotton and to keep it on a most
profitable basis for several years, I
think it would be advisable for the
Department of Agriculture to continue
to stress the necessity for the
production in the cotton Delt of ample
food stuffs (including live stock) for
home consumption. I believe the
present price at which cotton is selling
is much too low. This opinion is
based on the belief that the war is
about to end; that there is an accumulated
deficiency of textiles in
in practically every country ol
the world; that the past three
crops have only been approximately
equal to the decreased spinning capacity
caused by the war, and that
lack of potash and labor foreshadows
another short crop in 1919.
""The immediate future of the cotton
industry of the United States
will depend very largely on the trans
portation situation throughout thi
world. Nothing can be more impor
tant than ample ocean tonnage am
moderate freight rates."
