tary, who is also chairman of the coun- ell of national defense, said he had no desire to prevent any man from ex- pressing his personal opinion, but he did not think that any man as a rep resentatiye of the government ought to be criticising any newspaper.
 Informed by Hearst Agent
 Some one" said Mir Bakers state ment, q believe a representative or one of the Hearst papers. had told me that a representative of the council of national defense was making addresses and spending lot of his time criticis- ing in harsh terms the Hearst newspa- pers. I told MT. Clifford (director of the defense counciD that I thought nobody who was officially representing the government ought to be criticising any newspapers, and that. while I hadn't the slightest desire to prevent any man expressing his individual opinion upon any newspaper. I didn't think that any man. as representa- tive of the government. ought to be criticising any newspaper"

over in an instant.

cutting 1t open and closing my left
eye, skinning my hands and shlns and
straining my ankle. For a few mo-
ments / was completely knocked out,
and If they shot at me through the
window, in the first moments after my
escape. I had no way of knowing.
OF course, If they could have stopped
the train right then. they could easily
have recaptured me, but at the speed it
was going and In the confusion which
must have followed my escape, they
probably didn't stop within half of a
mile from the spot where Tlay.
/ came to within few minutes and
when 1 examined myself and found no
bones broken, l didn't stop TO worry
about my cuts and bruises, but jumped
up with the idea of putting as great
distance between me and that track as
possible before daylight came. Still be-
ing dazed, forgot all about the barbed
wire fence along the right of way and
ran full tilt into 1t. Right there lost
one Of my two precious pieces Of bread,
which fell out of my knapsack, but 1
could not stop TO look for it then.
The one thing that was uppermOst in
my mind was that for the moment l
was free, and it was tp to me now to
make the most of my liberty.

moment on shock Of brush which
was sheltered from the drizzle some
what by other shocks which were
stacked there 1t was daylight when
1 awoke. and / found myself right in
n German backyard. You can imagine
that l lost no time in getting out of
that neighborhood and made up my
mind right there and then that would
never give away to that stirred feeling"
again.
In the daytime, in my hiding place,
wherever il happened to be, l had
plenty of opportunity TO study my map,
and before very long knew IL almost
by heart. Unfortunately, however. it
did not show all the rivers and canals
which / encountered, and sometimes 1t
fooled me completely.
1t must have been about the ninth
night that crossed into Luxembourg.
but though this principally is officially
neutral, il offered me no safer a haven
than Belgium would. The Huns have
violated the neutrality of both, and dis
covery would have been followed by
the same consequences as capture in
Germany proper.
In the nine days had covered per
hapS seventy-five miles, and was that
much nearer liberty, but the lack of
proper food, the constant wearing OF
wet clothes, and the loss of sleep and
rest had reduced me to a very much

CHAPTER TX
! Enter Belgium.

1 have said it was about the
eighteenth day after my escape that
/ entered Belgium, but that is more
or less guess work. i was possibly
wen into that country before l real
lied that 1 had crossed the line.
About the third day after figured

then heading due north in the direc-
ton u the German lines. / was Just
about the wade into the canal when

For the next SIX days l Still inquired
that l was in Germany, and / was liv-
ing on nothing buc cabbage. sugar

in the raw state just as got them
out of the fields. The water / drank
was often very rank. One night l lay

ards. was in the enemy's country and
my uniform would have been a dead
giye-away. Anyone who captured me
or who gave information from which
my capture resulted might have been
sure of a handsome reward. / knew
that it was necessary for me to make
progress as fast as possible, but the
main consideration was to keep out of
sight, even If il took me a year to get
to Holland, which was my objective.
From my map estimated that l was
about thirty-fiye miles from Strassburg
when / made my leap from the train.
and if 1 could travel in straight line
had perhaps one hundred and fifty
miles to travel. AS it was, however,
1 was compelled TO make many detours,
and figured that two hundred and
fifty miles was nearer the extent of the
journey ahead of me.
In several parts Of this country had
to travel through forests of young pine
trees about twelve feet high. They
were very close together and looked
almost as If they had been set out

know the Pole Star when see II. But
for it 1 wouldn't be here today!
l believed il rained every night and
day while 1 was making my way
through Germany and Luxembourg.
Ny invariable program at this stage
Of my journey was TO travel steadily
all night until about six in the morn
ing. when l would commence looking
around for a place wherein to hide
during the day. Low bushes or woods
back from the road, as far as possible
from the travelled pathway. usually
served me for this purpose. Having
found such spot l would drop down
and try to sleep. Ny oyercoat was
my only covering, and that was usu-
ally soaked through, either from the
rain or from swimming.
The only sleep 1 got during those
days was from exhaustion, and Il usu-
ally came TO me towards dusk when
IL was time for me TO start again.
II was a mighty fortunate thing for

1 was now fully repaid for whatever
pleasure l had foregOne in the past as
a result of my habits in that partic-
ular, because my sufferings would GER
tainly have been intensified now if, in
addition TO lack OF food and rest, /
had had TO endure q craving for to-
bacco.
About the sixth night / was so
drowsy and exhausted when the time |
came for me to be on the move, that |
l was very much tempted to sleep |

that that would be bad precedent to |
establish and 1 wouldn't give in

I waited no longer. Standing upon
the bench as If to put the bag on the
rack and taking hold of the rack with
my left hand and a strap that hung
from the top of the car with my right,
pulled myself up, showed my feet and
legs out of the window and let go.

ROPER WATERING ON :.
 INSTALLMENT PLAN

In the opinion of Representative Charles E. Fuller of Illinois one of the greatest incentives to a large over subscription to the Liberty Loan would be the passage of legislation authorizing the payment of income taxes in installments. Every day senators and representatives are re- ceiving telegrams and letters from concerns and individuals from all parts of the country urging the relief suggested by Mir. Fuller. Not only is the burden of paying all their Federal taxes in June preventing corporations from subscribing to the loan, but the banks are having great difficulty in aiding their customers in the purchase of bonds by the deferred payment plan. Bills of republican authorship having in view Mir. Fuller's scheme for the payment of taxes in install- ments have been pending in congress for some weeks, but the leaders of the party in power have prevented their consideration. There are rumors that the commissioner of internal revenue iS Hooking more favorably on the pro- ISosed change in law, and members who have a cancern for the business stability of the country and the suc- cess of the Liberty Loan are hoping that the desired legislation may be an accomplished fact before it is too late.

MORE MEDICATION

When members of Congress or ci- williams complained for months of the slowness of the administration in the absolutely vital construction of ships, the complaints were denounced as "carping criticism" and the critics were prot German or nearly as bad. But in the middle of April, 1918, after we had been at war year and after the shipbuilding bill had been law niniteen months, Secretary to the President Tumulty said, "The carry ing forward of the construction work in the 130 shipyards in operation is so bad that it requires reinforce ment of the shipbuilding organization throughout the country" It is alto gether likely that the critics some times make mistakes, but this state ment of Tumulty's at the end of a year of war is complete justification pf the freedom that has been exercis- ed in the expression of public opinion. We would be asleep yet, if it had not been for the critics who prodded the administration into action.

THE BIG PUMP-MAKERS ADVICE

A distinct step in the direction of centralization of authority and more efficient administration of the produc- tion of aeroplanes is contained in measure introduced by Representative Norman J. Gould of the state of New York. Mir Gould proposes that the President shall, with the advice and consent of the senate, appoint an air crift administrator and five assistants, who shall have charge of the entire aero program of the government. The aeronautic sections of both the war and navy department are to be trans ferred to the new bureau. and all un- expended balances of appropriations made for them are to become avail able under the direction of the new administrator. Mir. Gould confidently believes that the organization mapped by him will do away with much of the conflict of authority now encount- cred in the production of aeroplanes, and greatly expedite the delivery of materials and the completion of ma chimes.

BIRDS OF A FEATHER

A signal honor has been paid a prominent I. w. w. by the state ad- ministration in appointing Harry Me- Cullough to be captain of the guard at the state road camp in this county. When friction occurred between the captain and the assistant state engi- neer in charge of the work it was the I. w. w. captain of the guard who was maintained in his position. We are reminded of the old motto: Birds of feather flock together. ."-Clifton Copper Era.
