people that could not stop me If they
chose to do so. / thought at this time
that I was suffering about the worst
hardships any human being could ever
be called upon to endure, but / was
later to find that the best of my jour
ney was made along about this time.
There were plenty Of vegetables, even
though they were raw, and these were
much better than the things I was
afterwards compelled to eat or go
without.
We frequently hear of men who have
lived for a certain number of days on
their own resources in the woods just
on a bet or to prove that the back
to-nature" theory still has the merits
and will still work. My advice to some
OF those nature seekers is that IL in
the future they wish to make a real
good record, try the little countries Of
Luxembourg and Belgium with slice
Of Germany thrown in.

failed to take advantage of many

That night made perhaps the same
distance, but became very hungry and
thirsty before the night was over.
For the next six days 1 still figured
that i was in Germany, aid was liv-
ing on nothing but cabbage, sugar
beets and an occasional carrot, always
in the raw state just as l got them
out of the fields. The water 1 drank
was often very rank. One night lay
in a cabbage patch for an hour tapping
the dew from the leaves with my
tonguei
During this period I realized that /
must avoid meeting anyone at all haz-
ards. was in the enemys country and
my uniform would have been a dead
give-away. Anyone who captured me
or who gave information from which
my capture resulted might have been
sure of a handsome reward. / knew
that it was necessary for me to make
progress as fast as possible, but the
main consideration was to keep out of
sight, even If 1t took me a year to get
to Holland. which was my objective.
From my map estimated that 1 was
about thirty-five miles from Strassburg
when made my leap from the train.
and If could travel in a straight line
1 had perhaps one hundred and fifty
miles to travel. AS 1t was, however,
was compelled to make many detours,
and / figured that two hundred and
fifty miles was nearer the extent Of the
journey ahead of me.
In several parts Of this country I had
to travel through forests of young pine
trees about twelve feet high. They
were very close together and looked
almost as If they had been set out.
They proved to be serious obstacle
to me because, could not see the stars
through them and was relying upon
the heaven to guide me to freedom. I
am not much of an astronomer, but 1
know the Pole Star when see ii. But
for it wouldn't be here todayI
believed 1t rained every night and
day while 1 was making my way
through Germany and Luxembourg.
My invariable program at this stage
of my journey was to travel steadily
all night until about six in the morn
ing, when 1 would commence looking
around for a place wherein to hide
during the day. Low bushes or woods
back from the road, as far as possible
from the Travelled pathway, usually

served me for this purpose. Having
found such a spot would drop down
and try to sleep. My overcoat was
my only covering. and that was usu-
ally soaked through, either from the
rain or from swimming.
The only sleep / got during those
days was from exhaustion, and It usu-
ally came to me towards dusk when
1t was time for me to start again.
II was a mighty fortunate thing for
me that was not smoker. Somehow
/ have never used tobacco in any form.
l was now fully repaid for whatever
pleasure had foregone in the past as
result of my habits I'm that partic-
ular, because my sufferings would GER
tainly have been intensified now IL. In
addition to lack of food and rest, I
had had to endure craving for to-
bacco.
About the sixth night was so
drowsy and exhausted when the time

came for me to be on the move, that
l was very much tempted to sleep
through the night. knew, however,
that that would be a bad precedent to
establish and 1 wouldn't give In.
plugged YEARLY along and about
IL o'clock, after l had covered perhaps
four miles, sat down to rest for a
moment on shock of brush which
was sheltered from the drizzle some
what by other shocks which were
stacked there. 1t was daylight when
awoke, and found myself right in
German backyard. You can imagine
that lost no time in getting out of
that neighborhood and / made up my
mind right there and then that would
never give away to that "tired feeling"
again.
In the daytime, in my hiding place,
wherever 1t happened to be, 1 haS
plenty of opportunity to study my map,
and before very long knew 1t almost
by heart. Unfortunately, however. it
did not show all the rivers and canals
which 1 encountered. and sometimes it
fooled me completely.
1t must have been about the ninth
night that l crossed into Luxembourg
but though this principality is officially
neutral, ii offered me no safer haven
than Belgium would. The Huns have
violated the neutrality of both. and dis
covery would have been followed by
tho In
Germany proper.
In the nine days had covered per-
haps seventy-flve miles, and was that
much nearer liberty, but the lack of
proper food, the constant wearing of
wet clothes, and the loss of sleep and
rest had reduced me to very much
weakened condition. 1 doubted very
much whether would be able to con-
tinue, but l plugged along.
