WASHINGTON, Nov, ii.-Wih the
Hose OF the great war at ) o'clock
pday. America celebrated her greatest
contribution to world freedom,
Hers was the moral and material
help that turned the tide OF the blqodi-
sst war OF history-snd peace today
marks this nations nineteenth month
70 a day as co-belllgerent In The strug-
gle.
Americas, too, were the fundamental
principles upon which the armistlce
md peace were based. And now the
sreatest problem before the world, ON
sials say, IS to hresh out Ia confer
ence poace that Will insure against
future wars. The sceno OF that con-
ference will probably be either Brus-
sells OF Geneva. It has been urged by
foreign representatives and friends OF
President Wilson that he attend. They
believe he VIII go.
This country's entrance into the
great war, In April, 1871, sounded the
loom OF German hopes for the con-
uuest OF the world. The crumhling or
the Central Powers was assured In view
OF the dramatic efforts put forth by
Mis- nation to bring quick and oom-
plete victory. Here are some OF ue
.hings American has accomplished In
nineteen months at war:
Increased her army from 2i2,034 ofii-
GERS and men TO approximately 100000
officers and men.
Increased her navy from S2,73S ofil-
ners and men to approximately ooO'Ooo
officers and men.
Landed the first contingent OF the ex-
peditionary forces safely at French
port ss days after declaring war.
After declaring war;
American destroyers arrived at Brit
ish port to assist In patrol work u
days after tho war declaration.
American troops went into tho line
for their baptism OF flro 1877 days
after we entered the war.
American troops permanently took
over part OF the firing line In Jenu-
ary, 1913. or nine months after entering
the war.
Over 100000 American troops have
arrived In Europe when the war ended,
Most Of these had participated In major
nghtIng.
And meantime America has poured
out It's gold to aid It's associates In the
war. A total OF s7.732, ,g76.666 have been

Let Your Wounds Heal.

Take your mind off your back. The
heaviest burdens man carries are
coddled worries.
Pamper a bother and it will play
the bully. The story of Atlas is a
parable as we'll as a myth. Every
pessimist totes the world upon his
shoulders.
Ugly memories promptly die OF
neglect. If you believe that bad luck
is pursuing you, ,snub it-misfortune
ceases to exist where it isn't noticed.
Adversely fees from a grin like the
devil fees holy water.
Cheer up and the atmosphere will
clear up. Blues fade in the sunlight.
Occupation is an infallible specific
for depression. Active brains don't
collect lichens. Determination is an
irresistible purge. Resolve to forget
unpleasant and unfortunate episodes
and they'll cease harassing you.
| Your body doesn't surrender to its
hurts without first putting up stiff
fight to overcome the injury. You
bandage fracture andleave it alone
to mend. Broken hopes simply ask
the same fair treatment. No wound
could possibly heal if it were torn
open day after day, nor can a sore
recollection be erased by reminders.
Half our miseries are self-intiict-
ed. We cling to them oftener than
! they cling to US.
Old DR. Time will cure the past if
you give the present a show. Her.

There is no ailment to which the
body is subject that is so far reaching
in its injurious effects as constipation.
It means a congestion of the bowels
and usually causes sick headache,
pains in the back, sour stomach, sal
low complexion, offensive breath or
loss of appetite. When you suffer
from any Of these ills, take a few
doses OF Granger Liver Regulator:
You will be surprised how quickly 1T
restores your normal health. Grange,
Liver Regulator contains no calomel
and produces none of it's distressing
effects. Ithas, however, all the cor
rective value Of calomel, and may De
freely given to children as well as to
adults. Granger Liver Regulator is
also free from alcohol. A box OF 1t
lasts long, and a few doses relieve or
dinary cases Of biliousness. Granger
Liver Regulator is sold by druggists
everywhere at 25c a box. Refuse all
substitutes as there is no other medl-
cine justlike Granger Liver Regulator.

Contains More Food than Most Beans

Calling attention to beans as an
excellent substitute for meat. the
United States food administration
mentions the comparative cheapness
and excellence of the variety known
as the domestic pinto or speckled
bean. Pinto beans are grown in
Colorado Kansas and New Mexico
and are now being used by our
army and navy.
The present retail price of these
beans should be from 10 to IL cents
per pound, which makes them an
economical food, considering that
pinto beans contain about per
cent less water than the more famil-
lar navy beans, which are now in
the luxury class.
Pinto beans are therefore a very
"beany" bean, furnishing more food
value for the purchase price than
the varieties with which the public
is perhaps better acquainted. In
cases where retailers do not handle
pintos, persons desiring to try them
are asked to write the bean division,

Washington, D C, which will fur
nish names of shippers.

There were dozens of other ways
which we considered. One man would
be for endeavoring to make his way
right through the lines. Another
thought the safest plan would be to
swim some river that crossed the lines.
The idea of making ones way to
Holland, neutral country, occurred
to everyone, but the one great obstacle
in that direction, we all realized, was
the great barrier of barbed and cleo
tricaliy charged wire which guards ev-
cry foot of the frontier between Bel
GUM and Holland, and which is closely
watched by the German sentries.
This barrier was a three-fold affair.
1t consisted first of barbed wire wall
six feet high. Six feet beyond that
was nine-foot wall of wire power
fully charged with electricity. To
touch it meant electrocution Beyond
that, at a distance of six feet, was
another wall of barbed wire six feet
high.
Beyond the barrier lay Holland and
liberty, but how to get there was a
problem which none of us could solve
and few of us ever expected to have
chance to try.
Mine came sooner than l expected.

CHAPTER vi.


[ had been in prison at Courtrai
nearly three weeks when, on the morn
ing of September 9th, l and six other
officers were told that we were to be
transferred to a prison camp in Ger
many.
One of the guards told me during the
day that we were destined for a re-
prisal camp in Strassburg. They were
sending us there to keep our airmen
from bombing the place.
He explained that the English car
ried German officers on hospital ships
for similar purpose and he excused
the German practice of torpedoing
these vessels on the score that they
also carried munitions! When l
pointed out to him that France would
hardly be sending munitions to Eng
land, he lost interest in the argument.
Some days before, l had made up my
mind that it would be very good
thing to get hold of map of Germany,
which | knew was in the possession of
one of the German interpreters, be-
cause | realized that if ever the op-
portunity came to make my escape,
such a map might be of the greatest
assistance to me.
With the idea of stealing this map,
accordingly, lieutenant and l got in
front of this interpreters window one
day and engaged in a very hot argu-
ment as to whether Heidelberg was on
hi III naIv
and forth so vigorously that the Ger
man came o1t of his room, map in
hand, to settle it. After the matter
was entirely settled to our satisfac-
ton, he went back into his room and
l watched where he put the map.
When, therefore, learned that was
on my way to Germany, realized that
1t was more important than ever for
me to get that map, and with the help
of my friend, we got the interpreter
out of his room on some pretext or
another, and while he was gone I con-
fiscated the map from the book in
which he kept it and concealed it in
my sock underneath my Logging AS
L had anticipated, it later proved Of
the utmost value to me.
| got it none too soon, for half an
hour later we were on our way to
Client. Our party consisted of five
British officers and one French officer.
AT Client, where we had to wait for
several hours for another train to take
us direct to the prison camp in Ger
many, two other prisoners were added
to our party.
In the interval we were locked in a
room at hotel, guard sitting at the
door with a rifle on his knee. 1t would
have done my heart good for the rest

of my life if ! could have gotten away
then and fooled that Hun-he was so
cocksure.
Later we were marched to the train
that was to convey us to Germany. 1t
consisted of some twelve coaches,
eleven of these containing troops going
home on leave, and the twelfth re-
served for us. We were placed in a
fourth-claSs compartment with old,
hard wooden seats, a filthy floor and
no lights save a candle placed there
by guard. There were eight of us
prisoners and four guards.
AS we sat in the coach we were an
object of curiosity to the crowd who
gathered at the station.
Hope you have a nice tripw one of
them shouted sarcastically.
drop me a line when you get to
Berlin, will you?" shouted another in
broken English.
"When shall we see you again7
asked third.
Remember me to your friends, will
you? You'll find plenty where you're
going" shouted another.
The German officers made no effort
to repress the crowd, in fact, they
