Baker; Pressure for
War Cabinet Grows

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-While SEN
a'ofs prepared speeches for delivery
next week In support of measures to
establish war cabinet and create a
munitions director, the Senate Military
committee to-day arranged to recall
Secretary Baker next Tuesday for
cross-examination regarding his state
ment before the committee last Mon
day on achievements of the War De-
partment.
Senator Hitchcock, OF Nebraska, Dem

Der of the Military Committee Ad-
mlnistratlon spokesmen in the Senate
are ready to reply both to Senators
Hitchcock and Wadsworth. and also are
confident of preventing consideration of
the measures in the Senate by holding
them IN the committee. With a vacancy
on the committee, due to the death of
Senator Brady, of Idaho, the members
now are said to be evenly divided on
the bills.
With the dispute over the war bills
reaching the Senate floor, the Military
Committee plans to close it's inquiry as
quickly as possible After Secretary
Baker is examined Tuesday, it will have
10 consider only cantonments and a
lew minor details of the work of the
War Department.
Howard Coffin, chairman of the Air
craft Board, testifying before the COM
llttee day in executive session, urged
centralized war control.
Mr.. Coffin told the committee that
'ne productive capacity of the country
could not be developed fully unless
government purchases were put into
lne hands Of central agency with full
powers. A definite programme of plac-
ing war orders, he said, has not been

Better Than Zeppelins

LONDON, Jan. 31.-A new British
airship, of the Zeppelin type, but said
to be distinct improvement on the
German Zeppelin, was shown on the

The new airship, in the belief of the
British naval men, is destined to play
an important part in naval warfare.

CHAPTER XIII.
Five DAYS in an Empty House.

rive lays IN an Empty 1ouSes
The five days l spent in that house
seemed to me like five years. During
all that time I had very little to eat
less in fact han 1 had been getting in
the fields. l did not feel it so bad, per-
haps, because of the fact that I "a no
longer exposed to the other p~rivations
which before had combined to make
my condition so w%retched. 1 now had a
good place to sleep, at any rate, and l
did not wake every half hour or so as
/ had been accustomed to do in the
fields and woods, and, of course, my
hunger was not aggravated by the
physical exertions which had been
necessary before.
Nevertheless, perhaps because l had
more time now to think of the hunger
pains which were gnawing at me all
the time, 1 don't believe l was ever so
miserable as I was at that period OF
my adventure. 1 felt SO mean towards
the world 1 would have committed
murder, 1 think, with very little prov
ocation.
German soldiers were passing the
house at all hours Of the day. /
watched them hour after hour from the

door Of the wine cellar aJar, nguring
that If the soldiers found a closed door
they would be more apt to search for
q fugitive behind it than if the door
were open.
My decision to get away from that
front door had been made and carried
but none too soon, for l had only just
located myself between two big wine
cases when 1 heard the tramp Of sol
diers' feet marching up the front stoop,
q crash at the front door, a few hasty
words of command which l did not un-
derstand, and then the noise Of sour
rying feet from room to room and such
q banging and hammering and smash
ing and crashing that l could not make
out what was going on.
If Huyliger had revealed my hiding
place to the Huns, as 1 was now con-
fident he had, l felt that there was lit

was taking.
One of the men spoke excellent
English. In fact, he told me that he
could speak five languages, and If he
could lie in the others as well as /
knew he did in my own tongue, he was
not only an accomplished linguist, but
a most versatile liar into the bargain.
'My dear fellow" said the linguist,
lit is not that we want to deprive you of
the passport. Good heavens! if it will
aid you in getting out of the country,
1 wish you could have six just like it.
But for our w protection, you W
it to us to proceed on your journey
as best you can without it because as
long as you have it in your possession
you jeopardize our lives, too. Don't
you think it is fairer that you should
risk your own safety rather than place
the lives of three innocent men in
danger?"
"That may be as it is, my friends"
1 retorted, "and 1 am glad you realize
your danger. Keep it in mind, for in
case any of you should happen to feel
inclined to notify the German authori-
ties that 1 am in this part of the our
try, think it over before you do so.
Remember always that If the Germans
get me, they get the passport, too, and
If they get the passport your lives
won't be worth a damn! When 1 tell

of pasteboard, 1 will implicate all three
of you, and whoever is working with
you, and as 1 am an officer 1 rather
think my word will be taken before
yours. Good night!"
The bluff evidently worked, because
l was able to get out of the city with
out m%olestation from the Germans.
1 have never seen these men since.
I hope 1 never shall, because 1 am
afraid l might be tempted to do some
thing for which l might otherwise be
sorry.
1 do not mean to imply that all Bel
gianS are like this. ! had evidently
fallen into the hands of a gang who
were endeavoring to make capital out
of the misfortunes of those who were
referred to them for help. In all
tries there are bad as well as good,
and in a country which has suffered so
much as poor Belgium it is no wonder
If some of the survivors have lost their
sense of moral perspective.
I know that the average poor peas
ant in Belgium would divide his scanty
rations with a needy fugitive sooner
than a wealthy Belgian would dole
out a morsel from his comparatively
well-stocked larder. Perhaps the poor
have less to lose than the rich if their
generosity or charity is discovered by
the Huns.
There have been many Belgians shot
for helping escaped prisoners and other
fugitiveS, and it is not to be wondered
at that they are willing to take as few
chances as possible. A man with a
family, especially, does not feel JUS
tified in helping a stranger when he
knows that he and his whole family
may be shot or sent to prison for their
pains.
Although I suffered much from the
attitude of Huyliger and his associates,
I suppose I ought to hold no grudge
against them in view of the unenviahle
p~redicament in which they are il
themselves.

tie prospect of their overlooking me.
They would search the house from top
to bottom and, if necessary, raz it to
the ground before they would give up
the search. To escape from the house
through the backyard through the iron
grating, which l had no doubt / could
force, seemed to be the logical thing
to do, but the chances were that the
Huns had thrown a Gordon around the
entire block before the squad was sent
to the house. The Germans do these
things in an efficient manner always.
They take nothing for granted.
My one chance seemed to be to stand
pat in the hope that the officer In
charge might possibly come to the con-
clusion that he had arrived at the
house too late-that the bird had
flown.
My position in that wine cellar was
anything but a comfortable one. Rats
and mice were scurrying across the
floor and the smashing and crashing
going on overhead "a anything but
promising. Evidently those soldiers
imagined that 1 ought to be hiding in
the walls, for it sounded as though
they were tearing off the wainscotting,
the picture holding and, in fact.
everything that they could tear or pull
apart.
Before very long they would finish
their search upstairs and would come
down to the basement. What they
would do when they discovered the
wine I had no idea. Perhaps they
would let themselves loose on it aud
give me my chance. With a bottle of
wine in each hand l figured 1 could put
up a good fight in the dark, especially
as l was becoming more and more ac-
customed to it and could begin to dis
tinguish things here and there, where.
as when they entered the pitchy dark
ness of the cellar, they would be as
blind as bats in the sun.
Perhaps it was twenty minutes be-
fore 1 heard what sounded like my
death-knell to me; the soldiers were
coming down the cellar steps! l

seemed almost too good to be true that
they could have given up the search
just as they were about to come upon
their quarry, but unless my ears de-

might be a German ruse did not escape
me, and / remained in the cellar for
