had the Bavarian cap Of bright red in
my pocket and wore it for many
nights, but took great care that no
one saw it. 1t also had proven very
useful when swimming rivers, for I
carried my map and a few other be-
longings in it and I had fully made
up my mind to bring 1t home as a
souvenir. But the farther I went
the heavier my extra clothing became,
so was compelled to discard even
the cap. I knew that 1t would be a
tell-tale mark If I simply threw it
away, so one night after swimming a
river, dug hole in the soft mud on
the bank and buried it, too, with con-
siderably less ceremony than my fly
ing mittens had received perhaps; so
that was the end Of my Bavarian hat.
My experience at the Belgian's
house whetted my appetite for more
food and I figured that what had been
done once could be done again.

In which I was, 1t was almost out OF

One night came to ditch about
eight or nine feet wide. I thought Il
was strong enough to jump 1t and 10
was worth trying as the discomfort Z
suffered after wading these ditches
was considerable. Taking long runs
I jumped as hard as I could, but =
missed 1t by four or five inches and
landed in about two feet Of water and
three Of mud. Getting out of thai
mess was quite job. The water was
too dirty and too scanty to enable ms
to wash off the mud with which weA
covered and 1t was too wet to scrape
of. Just had to wait until 1t dried
and scrape it off then.

discomfort Of this method Of travels

was an added danger to me in the fact
that the squash, squash" noise which
I made might easily be overheard BY
Belgians and Germans and give my
position away. Nobody would cross

country unless he was trying to get

my danger but could not get around IL.

thought it was a donkey and OK or

me that cows were being used for the
purpose.

there must be very few horses left In
Belgium except those owned by the
Germans. Cows and donkeys are now
horses and mules. Altogether spent
nearly eight weeks wandering through

er and Later Finding That He Was
on the Wrong Side and Had to Swim
Back.
Sooner or later, realized I would
probably approach Belgian and find
German instead, but in such q con-
tingency I was determined to meas
ure my strength against the Huns If
necessary to effect my escape.
AS 1t was, however, most of the Bel
CLANS to whom applied for food gave
it to me readily enough, and If some
of them refused me it was only be-
cause they feared / might be a spy
or that the Germans would shoot them
If their action were subsequently
found out.
About the fifth day after I had en-
tered Belgium was spending the day
as usual in a clump of bushes when l
discerned in the distance what ap-
peared to be something hanging on a
line. All day long strained my eyes
trying to decide what it could be and
arguing with myself that it might be
something that 1 could add to my in
adequate wordrobe, but the distance
was so great that could not identify
it. / had a great fear that before
night came it would probably be re-
moved.
AS soon as darkness fell, however, /
crawled out of my hiding place and
worked up to the line and got a pair
of overalls for my industry. The pair
of overalls was the first bit Of civil
ian clothes I had thus far picked up
with the exception Of civilian cap
which I had found at the prison and
concealed on my person and which l
still had. The overallS were rather
small and very short. but when ! put
them on I found that they hung down
far enough to cover my breaches.
It was perhaps three days later that
planned to search another house for
further clothes. Entering Belgian
houses at night is anything but safe
proposition, because their families are
large and sometimes as many as seven
or eight sleep In single room. The
barn Is usually connected with the
bouse proper. and there was always
the danger Of disturbing some dumb
animal even II the inmates OF the
house were not aroused.
Frequently I took chance OF
searching a back yard at night In the
hope Of finding food scraps, but my
success in that direction was so slight
that I soon decided that 1t wasn't
worth the risk and continued to
live on raw vegetables that could
pick with safety in the fields and the
occasional meal that was able to get
from the Belgian peasants In the day
time.
Nevertheless I was determined to
get more In the way Of clothing and
when night came picked out house
that looked as though 1t might furnish
