CHAPTER XIII.
Despair--and Freedom.

While | was working at the hos
pital conditions at my old barracks
had been getting worse and worse.
Very few Of the men were absolutely
right in the head, l guess, and almost
all had given up hope of eve getting
out alive. Though they put up a good
front to the Huns, they really did not
care a great deal what happened to
them. The only thing to think about
was the minute they were living in.
The day / came back two English
men, who had suddenly gone mad,
commenced to fight each other. 1t was
the most terrible fight / have ever
seen. 1t was some time before the
rest Of us could make them quit, be-
cause at first we did not know they
were crazy. When we had them down,
however, they were scratched and Bit
Both Of them bled from the nose all
that night, and toward morning one
OF them became Inc for q few min
utes and then died. The other was
taken away by the Germans, still
crazy.
Another time an Australian came
Into our barracks and very seriously
told us that he had a drag with the
German officers and that he had been
to dinner with them, and had had tur-
key, potatoes, coffee, butter, eggs,
sugar in his coffee, and all the luxuries
you could think Of. We just sat and
stared at him. 1t seemed impossible
that any Of our own men would have
the gall to torture us like that, and yet
we could not possibly believe that ii
had really happened. Finally, n
fellow could not stand it any longer.
He was nothing but skin and bones,
The Mellette County pioneer. [volume] (Wood, Mellette County, S.D.) 19??-1971, 1918-11-29

but he grabbed a dividing board and
there were just two wallops: the
board hit the Australians head and
the head hit the floor. Then half a
dozen more pounced onto him and
gave him a real licking. When he
came to he had forgotten all about
the wonderful dinner he did not have.
Not long after this the Russian doc
tors proved to the Germans that there
was no black typhus in our barracks
and we were allowed the freedom Of
the camp except that we could not
visit the Russian barracks. That was
no hardship to me nor to the rest of
us, except n chap from the Cambrian
Range, who had a special pal among
the Russians that he wanted to see.
And, Of course, when 1t was verboten.
he wanted to see him all the more.
A day or two after the order / was
standing outside the barracks door
when ! saw this fellow come out with
a dividing board in his hand. / thought
he was going to smash somebody with
1t, so / stood by. But he stopped over
and jammed one end of the board
against the threshold Of the door,
scratched the ground with the farther
end of the board and measured again.
He kept this up. length by length, in
the direction Of the Russian barracks.
The sentry In the yard stopped and
stared at him, but the fellow kept
right on. paying no attention to any
body. Pretty soon he was right by the
sentry's feet and I thought any minute
the sentry would give him the butt,
but he just stared a while and let him
pass. That lad measured the whole
distance to the Russian barracks, went
inside. stayed a while and calmly
strolled back with the board under his
arm. When he reached our barracks
again he told us he had found a vino
mine. What he had found was some
thing not SO unusual-a boneheaded
German.
There was a lot Of bamboo near the
Russian barracks and the Russians
made baskets out of 1t and turned
them In to the Germans. For this they
got all the good Jobs in the kitchen
and bad a fine chance to get more to
they were treated like dogs
except the few Cossacks

 "There was a hot wind blowing" :" writes the priest "A tumbler full of water was left in my bottle which I divided between four officers whose lips were split and covered with green slime That afternoon I had a bur- ial service, and, literally could not articulate without keeping my hand to my mouth and pulling my lower lip off my teeth, while bullets from a concealed sniper whizzed past us. In the evening water came in, enough to give each one bottle-quite made quate."

The war is not deterring highway construction, but is rather augment ing the interest in it.
 Wm. B. Owen, state highway com missioner for Arkansas, in g conven- tion at Oklahoma City, attracted att tention by an address in which he pointed out how the fine highways of France had enabled the French to shift men and supplies with suffi- cient speed to win the battle of the Marne. The Oklahoma Times, com menting on Mir. Owens address, says:
 "And it is true that when good roads are needed in war, the need IS more imperative than in peace. In France, for instance, good roads not only served to save the nation and the cause of civilization at the Marne, but again at Verdun the fate of France depended for time on the ability to keep a constant stream of motor vehicles moving to the front.
 "Mr. Owen makes a logical fore fcast, too, when he ventures the asser- tion that the war will see new impe- tus to road building in this country, and that there will be two or three transcontinental highways. As he points out to the postal highway con- yention, there are advantages on be- ing located on such a great trunk line turnpike, which this city can- not afford to overlook. Such roads and tributary lines will be built, of course. with a view to their military utility. but it is hoped they will not have to be used to save the nation from ruthless invaders, as did the paved roads of France.
 Certainly their most general use fulness will be to serve our peaceful needs, which if less exactlng than those of war, are far more permanent and enduring There are difficulties in promoting such highway projects while the whole energy of the nation is bent on war, but much preliminary work can be done, and should be-"

because they were afraid he would be
quite unbearable If he became too con-

Split Ballots.
Bennington Banner, J

Some of the state newspapers are
declaring that Mr.. Clement was nom
mated because he got the bulk of the
Democratic vote. No doubt he got gen
erous support from the Democrats but
he had by no means all of it. 1t appears
that nobody got a big section of that vote
as it was thrown away in trying to
split tickets Unofficial reports of the
recent primary come trickling in and
afford story not told in the routine
news. Throughout the state, thousands
of votes, presumably cast by Democrats,
were thrown out because the voter
marked one or more candidates in both
party columns In the city of Burling-
ton it is stated that over 400 ballots
marked for Mr.. Clement were thrown
out because there were also crosses in the
Democratic column Had these ballots
been counted Mr. Clement would have
carried Burlington over Judge Darling
| Mr.. Howe also lost heavily through thu
| splitting of ballots but not so many a
| Mr.. Clement When these split ballot
and unmarked blanks are added 10 thu
counted total, it is evident that wei
toward 10000 voters went TO the poll
at the recent primary. which IS prett,
