and what he had said to them. We
knew Mr.. Gerard had got the Germans
to make conditions better in some of
the worst hell-holes in Germany and
the men were always glad when he
came around. They felt they had some
thing better to look forward to and
some relief from the awful misery.
/ Mr.. Gerard was passing through the
French barracks and a man 1 knew
there told him there was an American
there. The Germans did not want him
to see me, but he put up an argument
with the commanding officer and they
finally said he could interview me. L,
never was so glad to see anyone asy
/ was to see him. The picture is still
with me Of him coming in the door.
We talked for about an hour and a
half, / guess, and then he got up to
go and he said I would hear from him
In about three weeks. Just think what
good news that was to me!
They let me out of the guardhouse
and celebrated by doing all the dam
age to German sentries that I could
do. The men IN the camps went wild
when they learned that Ambassador
Gerard was there, for they said he was
the only man in Germany they could
tell their troubles to. The reason was
that he was strong for the men, no
matter what nationality, and put his
heart into the work. 1 am cone of
those who cannot say enough good
things about him. Like many others,
If it had not been for Mr.. Gerard I
would be kaput by now.
A few days after this / was slow
again as we were marching to the
bread house and the guard at the door
tripped me. When 1 fell I hurt my
wounds, which made me hot. Now /
had decided, on thinking it over, that
the best thing to do was to be good
since l was expecting to be released,
and thought it would be tough luck
to be killed just before I was to be
released. But had been in the Amer
lean navy and any garby of the u. S. A.
would have done what did. 1t must
be the training we get, for when a
dirty trick is pulled off on us we get
very nervous around the hands and are
not always able to control them.
So I went for the sentry and wal
loped him in the jaw. Then / received
his bayonet through the feshy part of
the forearm. Most bayonet wounds
that we got were in the arm. But !
those arms were in front of our faces
at the time. The sentries did not aim
for our arms, you can bet on that. A
wound of the kind got would be moth
Ing more than a white streak if prop
erly attended to, but I received abso-
iutely no attention for it and it was
a long time in healing. At that, was
lucky; another bayonu me 1ust
grazed my stomach.
I had been at Dulmen for three
weeks when we were transferred to
Brandenburg, Havel, which is known
as "the hell-hole Of Germany" to the
prisoners. 1t certainly is not too
strong name for it, either.
On the way we changed trains at
Osnabruck and from the station plat
form saw German soldiers, open up
with machine guns on the women and
children who were rioting for food.

"The He'll Hole of Germany"

1.-THE Hell Hole of Germany"
On arriving at Brandenburg we were
marched the three or four miles north
west to the camp. While we were be-
ing marched through the streets
woman walked alongside of us for
quite way, talking to the boys in
English and asking them about the
war. She said she did not believe
anything the German papers printed.
She said she was an Englishwoman
from Liverpool and that at the out
break of the war not being able to
get out of Germany, she and her chill
dren had been put in prison and that
every day for over a week they had
put her through the third degree; that
her children had been separated from
her and that she did not know where
they were.

In conjunction with the u. S.
Army, the Y. NJ. c. A. has entered

the hotels in and around AK to
take care of our boys. At stated
intervals, each soldier in the army
will be allowed leave Of absence,
this leave allowing him to spend
eight days in AiX-les-Bains and the
neighborhood. While the boys are
there, the Y. M. G. A. diverts them
with excursions into the surround

ular entertainments in the "Y"
Casino. The boys return to their
duty from these trips refreshed
and re-invigorated.

FIRE PREVENTION
Rubbish-A Test of Citizenship

nupoish-A Test of Citizenship
Tell me what you do with your
ruopIsh," said the fireman, "and I'll
tell you what sort Of citizen you are.
II you dispose carefully OF every bit
OF your broken furniture, all your ola
newspapers, your oily rags, your worn
out clothing and all rubbish OF that
kind, you are a good citizen; but if
you allow them to accumulate you
not only are bad citizen, but a men
ace to your neighbors.
What makes such things catch fire? ?
1t may be the heat from the furnace,
Ia spark from cigarette, candle
dropped by some enc, the torch of a
plumber, or, perhanr, they just catch
fire from what is called Spontaneous
combustion
What is spontaneous combustion? :?
1t is a fire that starts itself. It has
De9n discovered that cotton waste,
oily rags, moist hay, and certain other
things, if left to themselves, will grow
hotter and hotter and finally burst into
flame
so remember if you do not burn
your rubbish, it may suddenly start
to burn all by itself and perhaps III
the middle of the night.
Having a Cleanup Day.
What we people need is a neigh.
borhod Cleanup Day in which we
can get out all rubbish and burn it.
OF course, it would have to be a day
without wind, and we would need sew
oral pals of water nearby in case of
emergency. ! don't ask you to burn
up wood that could be split I'D into
flreWood; get somebody to put in a
few days work on it; but | do ask
you to burn all that worthless trash
that is, without doubt, in almost every
garret and cellar in town. Sometimes
you will be surprised to find that there
are really valuable things hidden AWAY
IN the rubbish piles--old furniture or
! crockery that can be sold to some
dealer in antiques Leaves should
not be burned, because they fly about
when on. fire-even on windless days
They should be buried where they can
enrich the soil.
Always remember that clean
house seldom burns unless a dirty
house sets fire to it, and by a 'dirty'
house ] mean house where all kinds
of silly junk is preserved as if It were
Of the greatest value.
Also, don't forget that accumula-
tions of dirt and rubbish are frequent
ly a source of disease From every
point of view they are wasteful, un-
slightly and dangerous, and they tend
to lower the moral standards of pee
pie who tolerate them"
Safetay Rules for EubnaI1
1. Keep things tidy; don't allow rub |
bish to accumulate anywhere in the
house or near it.
2. If you keep oily cloths, put them |
into a metal box or can with cover.
3. If ydu learn that anyone is keep
ing oily rags outside Of met con
tainers, it is your duty to report it.
4. Don't pile dead leaves against
anything that will burn. They some
times ignite themselves.
5. Bury leaves; don't burn them.
6. Don't have old pieces of lumber
cluttering up your basement. Have
them cut up into kindlipgs and then
piled in a proper place.

Z. Keep matches out of the reach
of little children.
8, Keep them in covered tin boxes,
or dishes, away from the heat Of
stoves and stovepipes and out of the
reach of rats and mice.
8. Strike matches away from you.
If striking on a box, first close the
box. Strike downward on the box.

Aie-Ees-BGtns, They Return
Hospitality of Duchess of
VendOn7e, Sister of King
Albert of BeEgilzrse, Spread
ing Their Table on the
Ground.
BY Macmillan Foster.
A GRACEFUL little story has
IN just come from Aix-les-Bains
to show that our boys in
France have something more in
their natures than the grim de-
termination to fight the Hun to the
finish. One rather marvels. in
fact, at the sef-possession of these
lads from home. At the same time,
too, one is proud that they SO
politely represent us all.
A few days ago, the Du6hesse de
Vendome, sister of the King Of
Belgium, visited the Y. M. G. A
headquarters at AK There she
was presented to one hundred and
fifty soldiers. who were enjoying
an eight days leave at the famous
watering prace. A few days later
the Duchess sent an invitation to
the American lads to take tea with
her at her residence, the Hotel
Splendide. All the one hundred
and fifty went. Each and all of
them, too, it may be said, had a
royal time.
Having enjoyed the hospitality
of the duchess, the one hundred
and fifty privates put their heads
together and decided that it would
be only proper TO return the hospi-
tality Accordingly, they appointed
committee among themselves, and
arranged for her hignnesS' enter
tainment a real old fashioned
picnic
The place selected was across
the lake from ak. The duchess
having accepted the boys invita-
ton, they borrowed the Y. M. c. A.
steamer which makes daily trips
for them about the lake. They
loaded the craft with ham sand
wichee, hard boiled eggs, potato
salad, the materials for tea, coffee
and lemonade and all the candy
they could lay their hands on.
Then with the duchess and the
duke and their daughter, Princess
Genevieve, they set sail for the
picnic ground.
The ladies Of the Y. M. c. A. at
AK also went along. With these
to help them, the boys spread out
their feast. The place was Haute-
combe Abbey, The last resting place
of the heads of the House Of
Savoy, but the presence of neither
the living nor the dead potentates
in the least disturbed the youthful
American hosts. Nor were the
duke and his family in the least

Mould We Hesitate.

To many, perhaps, to most OF us,
saving in these times of high prices is
difficult, and TO get the money for a
bond may mean Some deprivation. So
II is when some dear member Of the
family is sick unto death and the ex-
pense of medical advice and surgical
skill and care is mounting to figures
that it seems as If we could never
meet. Do we hesitate? No; we pledge
the last dollar and are glad to do it.
How should we feel five years from
now If we were to have locked in our
hearts the knowledge that our mother
country persisted because we withheld
the things that would have sustained
her strength when she was fighting

itself convincing evidence of merit.
Confirmed testimony forms still strong
err evidence. Years ago, citizen of

benefit derived from Doan's Kidney

of this kind are plentiful in the work
of Doan's Kidney Pills-the record is
unique.
