The doctor talked slowly and STOP

majority Of the prisoners he had met,
he was suffering from loss Of memory
caused by his long Imprisonment,

sent an officer to tell me that I was
to be interned. When I pointed out
that physicians practicing as civilians
were immune from internment the Hun
officer replied that was not receiving

was used as military headquarters
and residence Of the staff officers In
Antwerp. After three days I was sent
to Berlin and locked up in the Stadt-
vogel prison.
"The prison fare was rough, con-
sisting chiefly of black bread, greasy
soup and potatoes. This did not trou-

and supplies weekly from London. The

their direction, I saw an automobile
go by containing Hindenburg and
his staff officer. He is the idol
of the German people and more popu.

regarded as strong man all over
Germany, but never takes the trouble
to make himself popular. He does not

Which Play important Part In
Anti-Submarine Warfare.

misunderstanding revelations re-
garding the work Of British mystery
ships which have played an important
part In antisubmarine warfare are
made by the naval correspondent of
the Times. They show how British
seamen have met German craft and
cunning with British craft and cum
ming.
Until this week the public has known
nothing about the mystery ships.
known in the navy as the 20" ships,
although several officers, notably Capt.
Gordon Campbell, have been decorated
for their services on these vessels. De-
tails now can be made public, as the
Germans are becoming aware through
bitter experience Of the methods used
against them.
"Baby" Blows Up Diver.
How woman and baby" accounted
for U-boat is told by the correspon-
dent. The submarine ordered yes
sci to surrender and fired few shells
into It. The boats then left the ship,
leaving on board woman who ran up
and down the deck with baby In her
arms. as If mad.
The U-boat came alongside the ves-
sci and the woman hurled the "baby"
Into the open hatch. The "baby" ex-
ploded and blew ous the bottom of the
submarine. The woman" was deco
rated with the Victoria cross.
The correspondent says that the first
mention Of mystery ship was in the
case of the Baralong, which on August
10. 1916, sank U-bcat after the tor
pedoing of the British liner Arabic.
It will be remembered, he says, that
the German government protested that
there was nothing to indicate the Bara-
longs warlike character. The Bara-
long case was probably not the first
In which ruse was used, and since
then. the Disgusting of armed vessels as
innocent merchantmen for dealing with
submarines has attained considerable
dimensions.
"Howls and moans." adds the naval
correspondent, "went up In Germany
about the treachery Of British seamen,
but the German allegations curlously
ceased at the beginning of 1915. These
allegations afforded typical example
Of German mentality, for they ignored
the fact that in every case the U-boat
was an actual or potential assailant
and any ruse Of war Is considered legit-
innate by them except when employed
against Germany"
It should not be forgotten, he con-
tinues, that the Germans designed
mystery ships for commerce destruc-
ton. The British commanders showed
much ingenuity in devising plans for
trapping submarines.
Haystack Is Floating Fort.
In addition to the woman and baby"
case, the correspondent mentions the
story Of retired admiral, serving as
a. captain, who placed haystack on
board an ancientlooking craft. When
the U-b0at ordered her to surrender
the Germans were astonlshed to re-
ceive a brOadside from the haystack.

Pat Tebean was managing the
