afterward was to talk about his visit
and what he had said to them. We
knew Mr.. Gerard had got the Germans
to make conditions better In some of
the worst hell-holes In Germany and
the men were always glad when he
came around. They felt they had some
thing better to look forward to and
some relief from the awful misery.
Mr.. Gerard was passing through the
French barracks and a man I knew
there told him there was an American
there. The Germans did not want him
to see me, but he put up an argument
with the commanding officer and they
finally said he could interview me. I
never was So glad to see anyone as
was to see him. The picture is still
with me Of him coming In the door.
We talked for about an hour and a
half, I guess, and then he got up to
go and he said I would hear from him
In about three weeks. Just think what
good news that was to me!
They let me out Of the guardhouse
and celebrated by doing all the dam
age to German sentrles that I could
do. The men in the camps went wild
when they learned that Ambassador
Gerard was there, for they said he was
the only man In Germany they could
tell their troubles to. The reason was
that he was strong for the men, no
matter what nationality. and put his
heart into the work. / am one of

things about him. Like many others,

A few days after this was slow
again as we were marching to the
bread house and the guard at the door
tripped me. When I fell hurt my
wounds. which made me hot. Now I
had decided. on thinking II over, that
the best thing to do was to be good.

"The He'll Hole OF Germany"
On arriving at Brandenburg we were
marched the three or four miles north
west to the camp. While we were be-
ing marched through the streets a
woman walked alongside of us for
quite a way. talking to the boys in
English and asking them about the
war. She said she did not believe
anything the German papers printed.
She said she was an Englishwoman
from Liverpool and that at the out
break of the war not being able to
get out of Germany. she and her chill
dren had been put In prison and that
every day for over week they had
put her through the third degree that
her children had been separated from
her and that she did not know where
they were.
She walked along with us for several
blocks until sentry heard her say
something not very complimentary TO
the Germans and chased her away
When we arrived at the camp we were
put into the receiving barracks and
kept there six days. The condition of
these barracks was not such that you
could describe 1t. The floors were ac-

WoMAN's COUNCIL OF DEFENSE
To the South Carolina council women
and Eyecutiya Committees:

To the South Carolina council women
and Executive Committee:
am sending letter to all the
chairmen and members of the execu-
tive committee, asking them to use
their influence and effort to enlist
the services Of their county council
women to the utmost, in selling Lii
berty Bonds for the April issue; TO
interest all physicians and nurses in
campaign for saving children under
five years of age (See Circular 95
Childrens Year,; and to agitate ex-
tensive grdening for both grown ups
and children. Each one Of these
causes is Of vital Importance. and
will give US work which will engage
our heads, and heart and hands for
the next three months. 1t will give
ne pleasure to answer any questions
or give any information on any Of
the above subjects.
Mrs. F. S. Munsell of Columbia,
S. c., is chairman for the state Of the
Liberty Bond department, and is viii
ling and ready to aid any one who
is interested in the subject.
I feel that our entire working
force, and every woman of the eXecU-
tive committee should do her utmost
to further these causes. On our
executive committee, we have the re-
presentat;ves Of II statewide and
National organizations. If each ore
of these presidents will agitate these
pertinent subjects in her organiza-
ton, feel sure that they will create
sentiment in the state which will
be most helpful in carrying out the
program mapped out by the Council
of Defense. AS has been explained
before the Woman's Council of De-
fense is the clearing house for al
woman's activities of the nation, and
surely in this crisis there is no acti-
vity which is worthy of existence,
if it has not for it's ultimate end pa
triotism in some of it's manifold
forms.
