tie prospect of their overlooking me.
They would search the house from top
to bottom and, if necessary, rae it to
the ground before they would give up
the search. To escape from the house
through the backyard through the iron
grating, which | had no doubt | could
force, seemed to be the logical thing
to do, but the chances We're that the
! Huns had thrown a Gordon around the
entire block before the squad was sent
10 the house. The Germans do these
things in an efficient manner always.
They take nothing for granted.
My one chance seemed to be to stand
on them. I don't believe I saw a single
German soldier who didn't look as if
he had lost his best friend-and he
probably had.
At the same time there Is big diff
ference-eertainly a difference of sew
eral years-between wishing the war
was over and giving up, and l don't
believe the German rank and file any
more than their leaders have the slight
est idea at this time of giving up at
all.

During my concealment in the house

city at night, and l was beginning to
feel more comfortable even when Ger
man soldiers were about Through
the keyhole l had studied very
closely the gait of the Belgians, the
slovenly droop that characterized most
of them, and their general appearance,
and felt that in my own dirty and I'M
shaver condition l must have looked
as much like the average poor Belgian
as man could. The only thing that

There are many, no doubt who will,
wonder why I did not get more help
than l did at this time. 1t is easily
answered. When man is in hourly

of spies, as Belgium certainly was, he

US. Army to Have "WaacS'

The Tommy Waacs" of England
are not going to be the only women
in the lmelight. for the American
army is to have its own "Waacs, -
perhaps they will be called the
sammy Waacs." AT any rate it is
true that the American army is to
have it's wuman's auxiliary army
corps.
Miss Elsie Gunthier. the only wo-
man who has a captaincy in the
Am rican army, is going to recruit
5000 women to do the jobs behind
the lines which ordinarily are done
by soldiers. This includes clerical
work, telephone and telegraph oper-
ating, driving. traffic directing and
the like.
But You cannot become q member
of the "Waacs" for the American
army on this side of the Atlantic.
That is you cannot now, but per-
haps sometime in the future you may
be able to enlist here.
Captain Gunther already has $50
"Waacs" at Tours. where the Y. W.
c. A. is in charge of their welfare
According to Y. w. C. A. officials
Miss Gunther is taking first the
women that she can find overseas.
She will not begin recruiting over
here for several months and until
then the patriotic girls will have to
enlist as nurses or wait patiently.
