started for the woods late yesterday in
order to mako an early start of the deer
season, which opens today and will continue
for the remaining two Wednesdays in
October and the first Wednesday in No
vember.
Few camps will be established in the deer
woods this season in view OF the fact that
there is only one days open hunting each
week. Most OF the hunters who started to-
day made the trip in autos
Because the foliage is still dense and af-
fords excellent cover for the deer, some of
the gunners in Cumberland County have
revived the agitation statred a few years
ago to have revoked the State law which
prohibits the hunting OF deer with dogs.
Sportsmen generally in this region, however,
will back up the law.

SAFE AT STOCKHOLM
BY WILLIAM G. SHEPHERD


The first American to escape from Ger

by the German raider Moewe, reached here
today. after having spent six waterless days
concealed in the hold OF a ship arriving
from Kiel. He was willet Charles Smith,
OF Norwalk, Conn.
None Of the American prisoners at Lu-
beck have died" Smith declared. but their
lives were only saved by packages sent
from kind-hearted Britishers via Berne.
"Our guards at Lubbock weren't for the
war, They would say, To - with the
Kaiser; this is a rich mans war in Ger
many; we want It ended"
Smith was the happiest man in the world
when he reached Stockholm and freedom

told me, that Barney Boyle, of Des Moines
BIZ Fitzgerald, of New York; oscar Bird,
of Charleston, W. Va, and Walter and
Harry Mason, both of Baltimore, are still
in Lubbock prison-and all doing fairly WELL
all things considered"
Fed up with all the good things fellow
Americans could offer him here after all
the lean, transformation days of his prison
camp fare and six very, very meager days
of Spartan-lke ratlons without water while
which brought him here, Smith blossomed
out today into the worlds greatest ex-
ponent of happiness.
lie laughed away his tribulations and
hardshlps In the camp and in escaping.
How did we come to land in German
prison? Well we-that is, the bunch I've
Just mentoned-all met in Baltimore last
winter. We had a good many drinks one
day and in wandering around we saw a
sign Men Wanted to Ship to Liverpool on
British Steamer
ION the spur of the moment and the
inspired daredevil spirit we joined
"Our outbound trip was fine business
But coming home our ship was captured by
the German cruiser Moewe. We were all
herded aboard her and taken to Kiel. There
we were put ashore with 500 others. Later
we were transferred to a prison camp"
Smith stopped to chuckle reminiscently.
Il spent fourteen days in a dark cell
for one previous unsuccessful attempt to
escape" he remarked.
And he laughed again, louder than ever,
as he contlnued:
You know our gang Of fellows who
Joined up that winter day in Baltimore
often wished in camp that Baltimore had
gone dry last November.
