 Later the lieutenant spent three weeks at a prison camp at Courtrai before he was started for the interior of Germany. There were three oth- CT prisoners under a strong guard in his compartment when O'Brien as a ruse had the window opened by com plaining of the smoke
 The train was 70 miles inside Ger many and travelling at 30 miles an hour, but O'Brien decided to take a desperate chance. He jumped from the train, skinning the whole side of his face, reopening the wound in his lip and losing consciousness. It was about o'clock in the morning and the darkness shielded him. When he recovered he was lying in field.
 Then for 72 days he was a fugitive, travelling only at night. He trudged through fields and swan rivers and canals in Germany, Luxemburg and l! Belgium before he reached the Dutch frontier At the time of his flight he had a piece of sausage, on which he subsisted for several days, after which his sole sustenance consisted of turnips and other vegetables found in fields.
 O'Brien did not know any German, but he used a little French on a kind ly Belgian who was so happy to meet an American in British uniform that he sheltered him for several days. The Belgian then gave him old clothes to
 cover his uniform and directed him by the nearest route to the frontier. O'Brien swan the River Mouse near Namur and the next day was chal- 1enged by German sentries, who de- | cided he was a peasant. But his narrowest escape was re-

London, Nov. 30-Lieut. Patrick O'Brien of Momence, H.. near Chica- go, the first American member of the British Flying Corps to escape from Germany, has arrived in London. O. Brien eluded his captors by jump ing from the window of a speeding train. He then became fugitive for 72 days, and as his goal was with in sight, narrowly escaped electrocu- ton from the charged wires along the Holland frontier.
 After cabling his aged mother, Mrs. I Margaret O'Brien, at Momence, to expect to see him soon, Lieut.. O'Brien called upon American Ambassado or Page to seek advice regarding his de- sire to be transferred to the Ameri- can flying corps. Last night O'Brien was dined by 8 group of admiring fiers who, like scores of friends along the front, had believed he had been killed when he was reported missing on August IT last
 O'Brien, who is a sturdy young man of 27, was flying in the American avia- ton squadron at San Diego, Cal. 4 when he, went to Victoria, B. NC., and obtained commission in the Cana dian army. Going to France the next year he distinguished himself by his great daring over the German lines On the morning of August IT enemy gunners forced him to descend, but Fortunately he landed behind his owr lines.

 TRENCH FEET

Since members of the American Expeditionary forces in France have gone into the trenches, they have developed trench feet and as a re- suit it is found that thousands of pairs of woolen socks knitted by Red Cross workers are too small. The or der has now gone out from Red Cross headquarters to the auxiliaries and received in Bridgeport that the foot part of the socks must be 12 inches long. This length is from two to three inches longer than formerly.
 It is explained that a trench foot'' is one badly swollen from cold and marching.
