A Visit From Mr.. Gerard.

Late that night we arrived at Dull
men. Westphalia. We were rousted
out OF the carriages. mustered on the
the streets. In spite OF the lateness.
the streets were pretty well filed with
people. and they zig-zagged us through
all the streets they could so that all
the people would have a chance to see
the crazy men. ms they called us. Most
of the people were women. and as soon
as they saw us coming. they began
singing the watch on the Rhine" or
some other German song. and IL was
funny TO see windows opening and fat
fraus. with night-caps on. sticking
their heads out OF the windows. They
would give us a quick once-over. and
pipe up like a boatswain: "Schwein-
-Vaterland-Wacht am Rhein"
all kinds OF things and all mixed up.
So we gave them "ripperary" and
"Pack Up Your Troubles" and
showed them how TO sing. our guards
had no ear for music and tried TO stop
us. but though they knocked several
men down. we did not stop until we
had finished the song. Then. after we
had admitted 10 each other that we
were not downhearted. we shut up.
We would have done so. anyway, be-
cause by this time we were on the out
skirts OF the town. and We needed all
the breath we had. The road we were
on was just one long sheet of ice. and
we could hardly walk more than four
steps without slipping and falling. My
shoes had wooden soles. and Il was
just one bang after another. with the
Ice and myself trying to see which
could hit the hardest. Every time we

back.

60 some Of the fellows that was GO
ing TO sit down and rest. and they said
they would also. So we dropped out
and waited until the guards behind
had just about caught up with US. and
then we would 20 on. We did this
several times until they got ON to US,
and we could not do II any more.

could do was stare. SO stared back.
pretending that saw two Of him, and
otherwise acting foolish. Then l guess
he realized for the first time that the
chances Of anybody being drunk In
that camp were small-at least for the
prisoners. He was rubbing his ear
all the time, but finally the thought
seeped through the ivory and he began
to laugh. l laughed. too. and the first
thing you know he had me doing II
again-that is, the imitation. One
SNOWFALL was enough, figured.
l used to talk to him quite often
after that. We had no particular
love for each other, but he was gamer
than the other sentries, and he did not
call me schweinhund every time he saw
me, so we got on very well together.
His name must have been Schwartz, I
guess, but II sounded like "Swatts" to
me. so Swatts he was, and I was
"Chink' to him, as everybody else
called me that.
One day he asked me IL I could
speak French, and / said yes. Italian;
yes. Russian; yes. No matter what
language he might have mentioned I
would have said yes, because I could
smell something in the wind. and I
was curious. Then he told me that IL
i went to the hospital and worked
there, l might get better meals and
would not have to go so far for them.
and that my knowing all the languages
l said i did would help me a great
ways toward getting the Job.
Evidently he had been told to get q
man for the place. because he ap-
pointed me to II then and there. lie
put me to work right away. We went
over to one of the barracks, where a
case of sickness had been reported,
and found that the invalid was big

war. She said she did not believe
anything the German papers printed
She said she was an Engllshwoman
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 a 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 a 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 II. The floors were &C.
tually nothing but filth. Very few of
the hunks remained; the rest had been
torn down-for fuel. suppose.
The day we were transferred to the
regular prison barracks four hundred
Russians and Belgians were buried.
Most of them had died from cholera.
typhoid and NEGOTIATIONS. We heard
from the prisoners there before us that
the Germans had come through the
camps with word that there was an
epidemic of black typhus and cholera
and that the only thing for the men to
do was to take the serum treatment to
avoid catching these diseases. Most Of
the four hundred men had died from
the NEGOTIATIONS. They had taken the
Germans word, had been inoculated
and had died within nine hours. Which
shows how foolish II Is to believe a
German. None of us had any doubt
but what the serum was poisonous.
The second day that we were In the
regular camp the Germans strung
barbed wire all around our barracks
They told us we had a case of black
typhus among us. This was nothing
more nor less than a bluff, for not one
of us had typhus, but they put up the
wire. nevertheless, and we were not
allowed to go out.
One day when ] was loafing around
our barracks door and not having any
thing particularly important to do,
packed a nice hard SNOWFALL and land
ed II neatly behind the ear of a little
sentry not far away. When he looked
around he did not blow his whistle but
began hunting for the thrower. This
was strange in a German sentry and I
thought he must be pretty good stuff
When he looked around, however, all
he saw was man staggering around
as II he were drunk. The man was
the one who had done the throwing, all
right, but the sentry could not be sure
of II, for surely no man would stay
out In the open and invite accidents
like that. But still. who had done II?
So just kept staggering around.
and the sentry came up to me and
looked me over pretty hard. Then
thought for the first time that things
might 20 hard on me, but / figured
that II l quit the play acting II would
be all over. So l staggered right up
TO the sentry and looked at him drunk
emily. expecting every moment to get
one from the bayOnet.

for any one. If that be true then
we are in error in our surmises. And
it may be true because we admit that
we know nothing definite about the
situation, but we thought there could
be no harm in making some guesses
and SurmiseS.
Personally we have always been
very fond of Lever and have taken
a great interest and pride in his sue
cesses, and we just feel that at this
time above all others he should not
have been called upon to jeopard1ze
his position of service in the congress
where he has taken high stand
among his colleagues.

THE HOG ORDINANCE.

We have not said anything about
the hog ordinance as printed in this
paper because when we fouD" that 1t
was incorrectly printed we supposed
that the proper authorities would
make the correction. We had writ
ten a statement but before it was
printed the city clerk called us and
said that it should have read d
quarter acre and not a half acre. We
were in blissful ignorance of the fact
that the ordinance was incorrectly
printed in The Herald and News unit
told by the health officer. We i'm
mediately examined the copy furnlsa
ed us and found that it read a half
acre just as we printed it. We toid
the clerk that our copy read half
acre. He said he intended to make
the correction in the copy but had
overlooked it, and that some weeks
after the publication and after we
had commented on the ordinance
And after the city had paid for the
publication. 1t is not fair to us %
have US print an official document
over the signatures of the mayor ami
clerk incorrectly even if the town does
pay for it.
We suppose that the clerk does not
read The Herald and News and in ad-
dition to making the statement THAI
according to a phone message from
the clerk that the ordinance should
read a quarter acre as the minimum
for hog in town, we want to ex-
press our regret that the clerk does
read The Herald and News, and to
say that surely he does not reallze
that he is missing a whole lot OF
mighty good stuff that would be nelp-
full to him in these days Of stress ana
trial and be consoling and comfort
ing as we'll In fact we DO not see
how he can live in this good town
without reading it.
