away We're brought back, though. The
Germans were so easy on those who
tried to run away that almost tho igni
they were encouraging them. One
chap was doing his ten DAYS n Tie
guardhouse for the sixth time while
was there--that Is, he had just abor,
anpleted his period or detention. He
claimed thai the sixth time he had
really got across the border and was
arrested In n little town by the Dutch
authorities and turned over to the Ger.
mans. That Is ngalnst the law in
most countries. but he swore 1t was the
truth. nm not so sure, myself. He
got away for the seventh time while
I was at Dulmcn and was not returned.

Of the things the Huns do.
One morning thought for sure
was going cafnrd. was just fed up
on the whole business and sick Of do
Ing nothing but suffer. So strolled
along, sticking my head into barracks
doors, sometimes trying to have a talk,
other times trying to pick a fight. 1t
was all one to me: just wanted some
thing to do. / found what wanted,
all right.
I had quite a talk with a sentry In
front Of barracks. 1t must have
lasted three-quarters of an hour. He
did not know what I was calling him,
and did not know what he was cali
ing me. could have handled him all
right, but another sentry came up on
my blind side and grabbed me and the
talk was over.
They dragged me to the commander
Of the camp and he instructed them to
give me bath. So they took me to
the bathhouse, where l was stripped
and lnshed. All the time they were
whipping Inc l was thinking what a
Joke 1t was on me, because had been
looking for excitement and had got
more than l wanted, so laughed and
the Huns thought was crazy sure.

and at the same time my clothes were
given boiling, which was good for
them.

CHAPTER XXI.
A Visit From Mr.. Gerard.

Late that night we arrived at Dul.
men, Westphalla. We were rousted
out Of the carriages, mustered on the
platform, counted, then drilled through
the streets. In spite Of the lateness.
the streets were pretty weIl filed with
people, and they zig.zagged us through
all the streets they could 80 that all
the people would have chance to see
the crazy men, as they called us. Most
OF the people were women, and as soon
as they saw us coming, they began
singing the swatch on the Rhine" or
some other German song, and 1t was
funny to see windows opening and fat
frnus. with nigllt-caps on, sticking
their heads out Of the windows. They
would give us a quick once-over, and
pipe up like boatswaln: "Schwen-

SEIZURE OF THE VESSELS.

The moral position of the United
States in particular and of the Allied
Powers in general is so strong, and il
is so important that nothing whatso-
ever should be done that would even
seem to SAVIOR of Prussian high hand
edness, that it is well that the public
should understand that the action OF
the American government in taking
over the Dutch ships in our ports as
we'll within our rights.
Such procedure is sanctioned by The
Hague convention, by writers on inter
national law and by precedents of the
Prussian government itself.

there is no ADLER or better writer on
international law, quotes in one of
his contributions to the Encyclopaedia
britannica article So of the ReguIss
