NJ ADOO's NOVELS ETURhS FROM THE|
NOT REL|SHED BYINRENCHES WITH b|G|
RAILROAD HEAOSIsTOR|ESOF us. MEM

Railroad presidents apparently do not
relish the idea Of Director General of
Railroads w. G. McAdoo, deposing them
and putting the systems under the SUI
pervision OF federal directors.
Advices have been received in Pensa-
cola that some of the presidents of
the roads have declined to serve as fed
eral directors and others will likely de-
cline these positions should they be OF
fered them.
Among railroad men here it is said
that the reduction in salaries does not
enter into the declination on the part
of the heads of these roads. They are
patriotic enough to tender their ser
vices but men who have made life
study of railroading are likely fearful
.liat their respective lines will be placed
in the hands of men not familiar with
the needs of the roads.
It is further asserted that railroad
resident accepting the position will
OF have the authority he once pos
cssed; that there will be number of
men at the national capital who will
be his superiors in official power and
he does not care to be limited in his
actions in conducting affairs. In fact
his old time power will be eliminated
and he will become merely clerk.
1t may be that some will be willing
to take a subordinate position, in an
advisory capacity in order that when
some action is about to be taken, they,
as practical railroad men, will be on
the ground to point out the defects and
thus be instrumental in preventing
something that was not in the best in
terest OF their roads, in their opinions

and died q hcro's death.
The prison. which had evidently
been a civil prison OF some kind before
tho war. was located right IN tho heart
OF Courtrni. The first building We ap-
preached was large and In front OF
the archwny, which formed the main
entrance. was q sentry box. Here we
were challenged by the sentry. who
knocked on the door: the guard turned
the key IN the lock and was admit
ted. We passed through the archway
and directly Into COURTYARD. on which
faced all sof the prison buildings. the
windows. Of course, being heavily
barred. After had given my pedigree

tined to meet. my want VIII never be
on that check.
There was one subject TINT was
talked about in this prison whenever
conversation Jagged, and 1 suppose 1t
is the same in other prisons too. What
We're the chances of escape
Every man seemed to have n differ
ent idea and one way. suppose. was
about as impracticable as another
None of us ever expected to get n
chance to put our ideas into execution.
but it was interesting speculation. and
anyway ore can never tell what OPP
portunirics might present themselves
One suggestion was that we disguise
ourselves as women. "O'Brien would
stand a better chance disguised as u
norse,' declared another, referring to
the fact that my height Il am six feet
two inches) would make me more con-
spicucus as a woman than as n man.
Another suggested that we steal n
German Gotha-a type OF airpfane
used for long-distance bombing. 1t il
these machines which are used for
bombing London. They are manned
by three men, one sitting in front with
Il machine gun. the pilot sitting behind
him and an observer sitting in the rear
with another machine gun. We fig
ured that. at a pinch, perhaps. seven
or eight of us could make our escape
in single machine. They have two
motors of very high horse power. fiy
very high and make wonderful speed.
But we had no chance to put this idea
to the test.
worked out another plan by which
I thought 1 might have chance il 1
could ever get into one of the German
airiromes. I would conceal myself in
one of the hanGars. wait until one OF
the German machines started out. and
as he TAXED along the ground / would
rush out. shout at the top OF my voice
and point excitedly ut his wheels. This.
L figured. would cause the pilot to stop
and ger out to see what was wrong
by that time would be mp 10 him. and
as he stopped over to inspsct the ma
chine, 1 could knock him senseless.
jump into the machine and he over the
lines before the Huns could make up
their minis just what had happened
Ii was a fine dream, but my
chance was not to come that way-
There were dozens OF other ways
which we considered one man would
be for endeayoring 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. a neutral country. occurred
to everyone, but the one great obstacle
In that direction. we all realized, was
the great barrier of barbed and cleo
trically charged wire which guards ev-
cry foot of the frontier between Bel
sium and Holland. and which is closely
watched by the German sentries.
This barrier was a three-fold affair.
II consisted first of barbed wire wall
six feet high. Six feet. beyond that
was a niue-foot wall OF wire power
fully charged with electricity. To
touch II meant eiectrocution. Beyond
that. at 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 n:ne OF us could solve
and few OF US 's-er expected to have
a chance to ry.
Mine came sooner than l expected.

The cooking was done by the prison

bribe. -
When the meal was ready to serve
