dispatch to the Chicago Daily News,
gives this interesting description of
his experience on the fighting line in
Belgium:
had not gone five miles on my way
on foot from Furnes to Ypres last Sun
day before heard cannon booming on
my left. This intermittent thunder
accompanied me on my entire Journey
l was. however. too attentive to my
difficult task to take more than pass
ing notice of this.
The task was that Of passing the
French lines and reaching Ypres with
out being stopped, since l already had
found that the French refused to re-

NIT to pass). / accordingly wrapped

to conceal my too American cut
clothes and suspicious pair Of field
glasses.
All the Flemish are incessant pipe
smokers, and my only chance to pass
the line was to be taken for . Belgian
Accordingly, during fve hours I filled,
lighted, smoked, emptied and refilled
my pipe. the effects of which were far
more deadly than anything had
hitherto undergone.

with a bright sun, which 10 rare in
