CHAPTER XIX.
German Prison Camps.

A few days after / had been dashed
to the barbed wire fence some of the
German officers came to the barracks,
and one OF them who spoke very good
English said: "All of the neutrals who
were on unarmed ships step out"
Only few stepped out.
Then he called for all the neutrals,
and the Danes, Swedes, Norwegians.
Brazilians and Spaniards stepped out.
But when I did, he said, mo, not
Americans. Americans are not neu-
trail. America supplies our enemies
with food and ammunition" He raised
his fist, and / thought he was going to
hit me, but instead he gave me
shove that caused me to fall and get
little cut on the head. Then the
sentries pushed me over with the
British and the French.
After that they took the Norwegi-
ans, Swedes and Danes to separate
barracks, and gave them clothes and
beds and the same rations as the Ger
man soldiers. When 1 saw this 1
made kick and said I was a neutral,
too, and ought to get the same treat
ment as the .Scandinavians. They took
me to the officers again, kicked me
about and swore at me, and the only
answer got was that America would
suffer for all she had done for the al
lies. Then was sent back to the bar
racks again.
The next day at about one o'clock
they took us from the barracks and
drilled us through the swamps. The
men began to fall one by one, some
crying or swearing, but most of them
going along without a word. Those
who went down were smashed In the
head with rife butts or belts.
Finally we arrived at little rail-
road station, and had to stand in the
snow for over an hour while the en-
CINE ran up and down the tracks hook
ing on cars. When we finally got in
The cars we were frozen stif. I could
hardly walk, and some OF the boys
simply could not move without intense
pain.
They loaded twelve men into each
and detailed . guard Of i

ed: "Nichts zu essen" But we did
not know what that meant, SO we just
hung around there and waited. Then
they started shouting, "Zuruckl Zu-
ruckl" and drove us. back to the bar
racks.
Later we heard the words "nichts
zu essen!" so often that we thought
probably they meant mo eats We
had our reasons for thinking SO. too.
Those words, and '.zuruck" and
"'raus," were practically all we did
hear, except, Of course, various kinds
of schweinhunde.
1t was awful to see the men when
we got back to the barracks. Some of
the boys from the Georgia, not much
over twelve years old, were almost
crazy, but even the older men were
crying, many of them. 1t was nothing
but torture all the time. They opened
all the windows and doors in the bar
racks, and then we could not heat the
room with our bodies. When we start
ed to move around, to keep warm, they
fred few shots at us. l do not
know whether they hit anyone or not;
we had got so that we did not pay any
attention to things like that. But 1t
stopped US, and we had to stand still.
The Huns thought we would take the
rifles from the sentries and use them,
too.
never saw a yellower bunch OF
people in nv life. / do not mean peo-
pie. 1 wish 1 could publish what l
really mean.
We had stoves in the barracks, but
no coal or wood to burn. There were
many boxes piled up there, but they
belonged to the Germans. We would
have burned them If we could, but
the Germans made us carry them
across the road. They weighed about
$50 pounds apiece. and we were SO
weak that 1t was all two men could do
to bulge them. And we had to carry
them they would not let us roll them.
We were so cold and hungry that even
that exercise did not warm us.
About 2 80 the whistle blew again,
and the Huns picked out a few men
and took them down the road. We
could not figure opt why, but they
came back about three o'clock, all Of
them with bread in their arms. They |
were chewing away on it when they |
had a chance. Whenever the sentrfes |
were not looking they would bite at 1t |
like d fish going after worm. Each |
man carried five loaves.
When they got in the barracks the
sentries made them put the bread |
down on the floor, and then, with
their bayOnets, the sentries cut each
oaf once down the center lengthwise'
and four times across, which meant
zen men to O loaf about the size of an

ordinary ten-cent loaf in this country
now. They gave each of us piece
little larger than a safety-match
box.
The bread was hard and dark, and
really think they made 1t from trees.
1t had just exactly the same smell
that the dirt around trees has.
We filed past the sentries single file
to get our ration Of this mud, and
there was no chance of getting In line
twice, for we had to keep on filing
until we We're out in the road, and
stand there in the snow to eat 1t. We
could not go back in the barracks I'M
til every man had been served.
Our meals were like this: A can OF
barley coffee in the morning; cabbage
soup, so called. at noon; tenth OF
loaf Of bread at p. m. That was
our menu day In and day out the
kaiser's birthday, Lincoln's, May day,
or any other time.
This cabbage soup was great Idea.
We called 1t shadow soup, because the
boys claimed they made 1t by hanging
q cabbage over barrel OF water and
letting the shadow fall on the water.
We pretended. too, that II you found
any cabbage in it, you could take your
dish back for second helping. But
never saw anybody get more than
one dishful. All 1t was, was just
spoiled water.
We tried to 90 to sleep that night
but there were 30 many sentries
around us-and those Of Us who were |

think man of us really slept. After
q while asked sentry If 1 could &c
outside for q minute, but for some req,
son he would not let me. I had diff
ferent ideas. about it, so I stood
around near the door, and when he
turned his back out went and around
the corner of the barracks.
But one of the sentrfes there saw
me and blew his whistle, and guard
of eight came up from somewhere and
grabbed me. tried to explain. but 1t
was no use. because every time l said
a word 1t meant another swat over
the ear, so finally gave 1t up.
Then they drilled me across the
road to the officers quarters. There
were three officers there, and each OF
them asked me questions about all
kinds Of things, but never once men
toned my running out of the bar
racks. Then they gave the sentries
some commands, and four of the SEN
tries took me out and over to the
barbed wire fence. There they tied
me, face to the fence, arms over my
head, and hands and feet dashed to
the wire, and with rope around my
waist, too. I thought, then, that my
bunch had come true, and that l
would be crucified, like Murray and
Brown.
They posted a sentry there In addi-
ton to the regular guards, and every
time he walked past me he would kick
me or spit on me, or do both.
One time he kicked me so hard
that a prong of the barbed wire
gashed me over the left eye-the only
one can see with-and when the
blood ran into my eye 1t blinded me.
I thought both eyes were gone then,
and hoped they would shoot me. 1t
seemed to me that had got my share
by this time without losing the other
eye, and If it was gone, / wanted to
go too.
could not put up my hand to feel
where the prong had jabbed me, and
it kept on bleeding and smarting.
had on practically no clothing, you re-
member. The wounds in my thigh had
opened, and it was bitter cold and
windy. So you can picture to your
self how gay and carefree I was.
When / had been there for an hour
and half they united me from the
wire, and keeled over on my back.
They kicked me until l had to stand |
up, but I fell down again, and all the
kicking in Germany could not have
brought me to my feet. was just all |
in. So they. blew their whistles and |
the sentrles In the barracks awakened |
two of the boys, who came and carried
me in.
ALI the time the sentries were yell

'schweinhund !" until you would have
thought they were in a battle. What
heir idea was I do not know.
The boys had a little water in
AN, and one Of them tore off part Of

washed the cash and bandaged it.

LOYAL CITIZENS WANTED.
FOR NEEDED WAR WORK
GOVERNMENT IN CLOSE TOUCH
WITH WAR SAVINGS
SOCIETIES

what can I, here at home, do to
help win the WARP" That question has
come to most red-blooded American
men and women who have been, by
the stern decree of military standards,
ordered to stay at home while the
more fortunate are allowed to fight
| for the glory of the flag in foreign
lands.
| The formation, care and supervision
OF war savings societies is patriotic
work which will be substantial aid to
winning the war, and which can be
undertaken by the loyal citizens. The
work is of the greatest Importance and
can be carried out by anyone who
wishes to help their government. One
can get everybody in his or her leigh
borhood to form themselves into a war
savings society and pledge to buy so
many stamps a week or month. Nor
need the activities of those who wish
to help be limited to ones mere neigh
borhood, but may be extended to the
whole town or several towns. Any
one who wishes to help in this i'm
portant work should write to State
Director Harry w. Turner, Butte,
Montana, telling him you want to help
win the war by organizing war savings
societies, and he will send you all nee
eSsary information and supplies that
you may at once proceed with this
most needful war work.
The government wants war savings
societies everywhere. The name of
the secretary of each societyis placed
on the big mailing list in Washington,
ID. c., and important messages are
sent to them very often. The govern
ment wants the war savings societies |
to be its mouthpiece in spreading prop |
uganda and in helping in hundreds of |
ways.
Why not organize war savings so
ciety in your club or lodge? At the
next regular meeting. when the pre-
siding officer asks if there is any new
business, get up on your feet and ex-
plain that it is the patriotic duty of
the club or lodge to form a war saw
lngs society for the rest of the war.
Explain that saving and buying War
Savings stamps in concert is the same
as a company of soldiers fighting as a
unit, as compared to the individual
lighting alone. Your lodge or club will
get beautiful charter from the gov
which it will always be proud
Of. and. your secretary will be in con-
slant touch with all the big war ac-
:ivities, being kept posted directly
rom Washington. Tell your lodge or
hub that it is becoming popular to
10 with less and to make what you
lave last longer and incidentally to
five the government a better market
wherein to purchase supplies for our
o,diers.
The government has made q series
# buttons for the man or woman who
organizes war savings societies. These
re awards for well merited service
hey are of four grades and repre-
ent captains, majors, colonies and
enerals, being gained by those who
btain members for war savings soci.
ties in the number of 25, 80, 100 and
w. Each member having invested In
ne or more War Savings stamps.
Your question is answered Is your :
atriotism equal to the task?
