CHAPTER xI.
Encounter German soIdIers.

Encounter German Soldiers.
What the Belgian told me about
the need of a passport gave me fresh
cause for worry. Suppose I should
run into a German sentry before I
succeeded in getting one?
decided that until l reached the
big city which the Belgian had men
Homeland which I cannot name for
fear Of Identifying some of the people
there who befriended mel would
proceed with the utmost precaution.
Since I had discarded my uniform
and had obtained civilian clothes,
had not been quite as careful as was
at first. While I had done my trav-
cling at night. had not gone into
hiding SO early In the morning On
before and I had sometimes started
again before 1t was quite dark, rely
ing upon the fact that l would prob
ably be mistaken for a Belgian on his
way to or from work, as the case
might be. From now on, resolved,
however. ! would take no more
chances.
That evening came to a river per-
haps seventy-five yards wide and I
was getting ready to swim it when I
thought I would walk little way to
find. II possible. a better place to get
to the river from the bank. had not
walked more than a few hundred
yards when I saw a boat. 1t was the
first time had seen boat In all my
experiences.

stakes were sunk in the soft bank 1t

the boat and proceed on foot.

before daylight found safe place in
which to hide for the day. From my
hiding place could see through the

east or to the west I could hear
family the striking Of village bells,
and I knew that If I changed my
course I would undoubtedly strike
farms and vegetables, but the North
Star seemed to plead with me to fol-
low 1t and I would not turn aside.
When daylight came, the conse-
quence was was empty handed and I
had to find hiding place for the day.
1 thought would approach the first
peasant l came to and ask for food,
but that day I had misgivfngs-a
hunch-that I would get into trouble
If did. and decided to go without
food altogether for that day.
1t was foolish thing to do. found,
because not only suffered greatly
from hunger all that day, but it inter-
fered with my sleep. 1 would drop off
to sleep for half an hour, perhaps,
ank during that time 1 would dream
that 1 was free, back home, living n
life OF comparative ease, and then I
would wake up with start and catch
a glimpse Of the bushes surrounding
me, feel the hard ground beneath me
and the hunger pangs gnawing at my
sides, and then would realize how
far from home really was, and
would lie there and wonder whether
l would ever really see my home
again. Then would fall asleep again
and dream this time. perhaps Of the
days / spent in Courtrai. or my leap
from the tRin window, of the Bava-
rian pilot whom sent to eternity in
my last air fight, of my tracer bullets
getting closer and closer to his head,
and then would wake up again with
a start and thank the Lord that / was
only dreaming 1t all again instead of
living through it!
That night got an early start be-
cause I knew I had to have food, and
l decided that rather than look for
vegetables would take a chance and
apply to the first Belgian peasant
whom came to.
1t was about o'clock when I came
to small house. had picked up q
heavy stone and had bound 1t In my
handkerchief and I was resolved to use
1t as a weapon II 1t became necessary.
After all had gone through, 1 was
resolved to win my liberty eventually
at whatever cost.
AS 1t happened. I found that night
the first real friend l had encountered

and a piece of bread in the other, and
as the Hun advanced to search me !
held the bottle up in one hand and
the piece Of bread in the other SO that
he could see that was all had.
It occurred to me that he would
"frisk" me-that is, feel me over for
arms or other weapons, then place
me under arrest and march me Off to
the guardhouse. had not the slight
est idea but that 1 was captured and
there didn't seem to be much use In
resisting, unarmed as I was and with
two other German soldiers within a
few feet Of US.
Like flash 1t suddenly dawned on
me. however. that for all this soldier
could have known I was only a Bel
gian peasant and that his object In
searching me. which he proceeded to
do. was to ascertain whether I had
committed the common "crime" of
smuggling potatoes.
The Belgians were allowed only q
certain amount Of potatoes. and 1t is
against the laws laid down by the
Huns to deal in vegetables Of any
kind except under the rigid supervi-
sion Of the authorities. Nevertheless,
1t was one Of the principal vocations
OF the average poor Belgian to buy
potatoes out in the country from
peasants and then smuggle them into
the large cities and sell them clan
destinely at high price.
To stop this traffic in potatoes, the
German soldiers were In the habit of
subjecting the Belgians to frequent
search. and I was being held up by
this soldier for no other reason than
that he thought I might be a potato
smuggleri
He felt Of my outside clothes and
pockets. and finding no potatoes
seemed to be quite satisfied. Had be
but known who I was he could have

view Of the fact that had a heavy
water bottle In my uplifted hand, II
might have turned out to be q wooden

along and seemed to distract his atten.

was engaged knew that he was eye
ing me closely.

almost touched my ear. he said in
broken English. "You are an Eng
lishman-I know it-and you can hear
and talk If you wish-am I not right?"
There was a smile on his face and
a friendly attitude about him that told
me instinctively that he could be
trusted. and I replied: You have
guessed right-only am an Ameri-
can, not an Englishman."
he looked at me pityingly and filed
my cup again with warm milk.
s. His kindness and apparent willing
ness to help me almost overcame me,
and I felt like warning him of the
consequences he would suffer II the
Huns discovered he had befriended
me. I had heard that twenty Belgians
had been shot for helping Belgians
to escape into Holland, and hated
to think what might happen to this
good old Samaritan If the Huns ever
knew that he had helped an escaped
American prisoner.
After my meal was finished. I told
him in as simple language as I could
command Of some of the experiences
had gone through and I outlined my
future plans.
"YOu will never be able to get to
Holland" he declared, without a
passport The nearer you get to the
frontier the more German soldiers
you oil encounter, and without a
passport you will be a marked man."
I asked him to suggest a way by
which could overcome the difficulty.
He thought for several moments
and studied me closely all the time
perhaps endeavoring to make abso-
lutely sure that I was not a German
spy-and then apparently deciding in
my favor, told me what he thought it
was best for me to do.
IF you will call on this man"
(mentioning the name of a Belgian in
- city through which had to
pass). he advised. "you will be able to
make arrangements with him to Sc
cure passport, and he will do every
thing he can to get you out Of Bel
gium."
He told me where the man in ques-
ton could be found and gave NE some
useful directions to continue my jour
ney, and then he led me to the door.
1 thanked him thousand times and
wanted to pay him for his kindness
and help but he would accept nothing.
He did give me his name and you may
be sure shall never forget 1t, but to
mention 1t here might. of course, re-
suit in serious consequences for him.
When the war is over, however, or the
Germans are thrown out of Belgium,
I shall make 1t my duty to find that
kind Belgian If have to go through
again all that I have suffered already
to do 1t.
