Finally knocking me down. one of the guards struck me back of the head, breaking his gun. The beating and kicking continued until we reached the prison camp, where l collapsed on the guard house porch.
 Tormented by Vermin
 "On coming to my senses I was greeted by the commandant, a pork ish-looking individual and typical Prussian, who beloved in German that if I attempted to escape again would be shot. I speak no German, but an interpreter told me what he said. They sent for a German doctor and he swathed me with paper band ages.
 Then they put me in one of the guard cells. For three days I could not move, and the vermin that infest- ed the place made it almost unbear- able. My body was covered with large red eruptions from German fleas, which I found to be as poisonous as German propaganda.
 "On Sunday, October 6, I called meeting in my barracks of the 12 other officers who I knew were inter- ested in getting away. I insisted that We go that night. Our plan was to cut through or get over the fences in various parts of the yard simultane- ously. We divided into four teams. l took the first team, which consisted of two aviators and myself.
 All Lights Put Out
 At 10:30 that night the barracks lights went out as usual. Shortly aft erward the signal was given and the team, consisting of doctors threw the chains and short circuited all the light circuits in camp. As the lights went out my team threw the bridge across and the three of us got out
 "Sentries tried to halt us and then fired, but as we were in total darkness their shots went wild. I continued on for about two miles to where 1 had a rendezvous with another of the party. Meeting him we walked through the mountains for seven nights. Our walking was done. at night and in the day we hid in the fields and woods. Our food was any thing that we could get, mostly cab bage leaves. At o'clock on Sun day, October 12, we swan the Rhine, in the vicinity of Heuenstein. and were then on Swiss territory. The Swiss turned us over to the American legation at Berne, whence I proceeded to London by way of Paris l know that of the 13 officers who attempted to escape at least five were able to get cut of camp and at least three of us arrived safely in Switzerland"
