CHAPTER XVI.
Leave for the Frontier.

LCdNC buO EEOHtiCTs
To get out Of the city, it would be
necessary to pass two guards. This /
had learned in the course of my walks
at night, having frequently Travelled
to the city limits with the idea of
finding out just what conditions I
would have to meet when the time
came for me to leave.
A German soldiers uniform, how
ever, no longer worried me as it had
at first. / had mingled with the Huns
so much in the city that began to
feel that was really Belgian, and /
assumed the Indifference that they
seemed to feel.
1 decided, therefore, to walk out of
the city in the daytime, when the SEN
tries would be less apt to be on the
watch. 1t worked fine. was not
held up a moment, the sentries evil

ant on his way to work.
Travelling faster than had ever
done before since my escape, was
soon out in the open country, and the
first Belgian came to 1 approached
for food. He gave me half of his
lunch and we sat down on the side Of
the road to eat it. OF course, he tried
to talk to me, but used the old ruse
of pretending I was deaf and dumb
and he was quite convinced that 1t was
so. He made various efforts to talk
to me in pantomime, but l could not
make out what he was getting at, and
I think he must have concluded that l
was not only half starved, deaf and
dumb, but 'looney" in the bargain.
When night came looked around
for a place to rest. l had decided to
travel In the daytime as well as night,
because 1 understood that 1t was only
a few miles from the frontier, and /
was naturally anxious to get there at
the earliest possible moment, although
I realized that there would encounter
the most hazardous part Of my whole
adventure. To get through the heavily
guarded barbed wire and electrically
charged barrier was problem that l
hated to think of even, although the
hours I spent endeavoring to devise

AS I wandered through the streets I
frequently glanced in the cafe win
dow as 1 passed. German officers
were usually dining there, but they
didn't conduct themselves with any,
thing like the light-heartedness which
characterizes the allied officers in
London and Paris. / was rather sur
prised at this because in this part of
Belgium they were much freer than
they would have been in Berlin,
where, ! understand, food is compar-
atively scarce and the restrictions
are very strict.
AS have said, my own condition In
this city was In some respects worse
than it had been when 1 was making
my way through the open country.
While l had place to sleep and my
clothes were no longer constantly
soaking, my opportunities for getting
food were considerably less than they
had been. Nearly all the time I was
half famished, and / decided that I
would get out of there at once, since
/ was entirely through with Huyliger.
My physical condition was greatly
improved. While the lack of food
showed itself on me, / had regained
some Of my strength, my wounds
were healed, and my ankle was
stronger, and although my knees were
still considerably enlarged, felt that
/ was in better shape than had been
at any time since my leap from the
train, and was ready to go through
whatever was in store for me.

Ladies Of The Civic
League Will Give A
Dance Tuesday
March 10
By This Means They Hope
To Be The Second Louisi-
ana Club To Contribute
To War Victory Fund

For the purpose of raising sum to
contribute to the War Victory Fund, the
ladies of the Civic League will give
dance at the City Hall, Tuesday night
March 10Th. Since the Inauguration OF
this Fund, a Louisiana club, of women
was the first to make a contribution. The
Civic League Of this city are ambitious
to be the second.
The creation Of the War Victory Com
mission is for the purpose Of raising q
fund for war work, such fund to be ex-
pended for recreation canteens in France.
For men on short furlough resting from
intensive training, trench warfare or
recuperating after an illness. Also for
establishing medical dispensaries back OF
the lines or other war work which may be
deemed necessary as occasion demands.
The president of the General Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs, Mrs. Cowles,
and committee conferred with Mr.. Ray
mond Fosdick at Washington, concerning
the proposed plans Of establishing recre-
alton canteens in France for American
soldiers. They learned that Mr.. Fosdick
considered this work would be of vital i'm
portance and necessity, if the morale Of
the army is to be maintained and our
soldiers returned to their homes sane,
clean, and we'll balanced.
Under Government commission Mr.. Fos-
dick is in France to study plans, ways
and means by which such recreation cen
tiers may be quickly established. Individ-
uals have been working and many clubs
have undertaken specific tasks. Such
as the adoption Of French and Belgian
children the rehn b;,itation Of French
cities; work in the environments in the
United States; increased Red Cross work.
But club women have not hitherto per-
fected plans for the conspmmation of a
task that would stand out as movement
for the conservation of our women to the
nation s service.
! Such work has now been planned and
the machinery for its accomplishment is
now being put into operation. The wo
men will not fail in this even as they new
er have fallen down on any project fol
the betterment of humanity.
In connection with this proposed worl
