The idea Of making ones way to

to everyone. but the one great obstacle
in that direction, we all realized, was
the great barrier Of barbed and cleo

This barrier was three-fold affair.
1t consisted first Of barbed wire wall

touch it meant electrocution. Beyond
that. at a distance Of six feet, was

CHAPTER VI.
A Leap for Liberty.

A Leap for Liberty.
had been in prison at Courtrai
nearly three weeks when, on the morn
ing Of September 9th, I and six other
officers were told that we were to be
transferred to a prison camp in Ger
many.
One of the guards told me during the
day that we were destined for re-
prisal camp in Strassburg. They were
sending us there to keep our airmen
from bombing the place.
He explained that the English car
ried German officers on hospital ships
for similar purpose and he excused
the German practice Of torpedoing
these vessels ON the score that they
also carried munitionsi When 1
pointed out to him that France would
hardly be sending munitions to Eng
land, he lost interest in the argument.
Some days before, had made up my
mind that 1t would be a very good
thing to get hold Of a map Of Germany,
which knew was in the possession Of
one Of the German Interpreters, be-
cause I realized that II ever the op-
portunity came to make my escape,
such a map might be Of the greatest
assistance to me.
With the idea of stealing this map,
accordingly, a lieutenant and / got in
front Of this interpreters window one
day and engaged in a very hot argu-
ment as to whether Heidelberg was on
the Rhine or not, and we argued back
and forth SO vigorously that the Ger
man came out Of his room, map in
hand. to settle 1t. After the matter
was entirely settled to our satisfac-
tion, he went back into his room and
I watched where he put the map.
When. therefore, I learned that was
on my way to Germany, realized that
1t was more important than ever for
me to get that map, and with the help
Of my friend, we got the interpreter
out Of his room on some pretext or
another. and while he was gone I con-
fiscated the map from the book in
which he kept it and concealed it in
my sock underneath my Logging. As
had anticipated, 1t later proved of
the utmost value to me.
I got it none too soon, for half an
hour later we were on our way to
Client. Our party consisted of five
British officers and one French officer.
At Client. where we had to wait for
several hours for another train to take
us direct to the prison camp in Ger
many, two other prisoners were added
to our party.
In the interval we were locked in a
room at hotel, guard sitting at the
door with rifle on his knee. 1t would

stretcher. For seven days, he told us,
he had lain in a shell hole, wounded,
and he was almost famished, and we
were mighty glad to share our BAN
quet with him.
We called on each man for a speech,
and one might have thought that we
were at 6rst-class club meeting. A
few days after that our party was
broken up and some Of the men. sup

One of the souvenirs of my adven-
ture is a check given me during this
banquet" by Lieut.. James Henry
Dickson Of the Tenth Royal Irish Fu-
sileers, a fellow prisoner. It was for
20 francs and was made payable to
the order Of "Mr. Pat O'Brien, End
Lieut." Poor Jim forgot to scratch
out the London" and substitute
'Courtrai" on the date line. but its
value as souvenir is just as great.
When he gave it to me he had no idea
that would have an opportunity SO
soon afterward to cash it in person,
although I am quite sure that what
ever financial reverses may be des-
tined to meet, my want will never be
great enough to induce me to realize
on that check.
There was one subject that was
talked about in this prison whenever
conversation Jagged, and suppose 1t
is the same in other prisons too. What
were the chances Of escape.
Every man seemed to have a differ
ent idea and one way, suppose, was
about as impracticable as another.
None Of us ever expected to get
chance to put our ideas into execution,
but 1t was interesting speculation, and
anyway one can never tell what op-
portunities might present themselves.
One suggestion was that we disguise
ourselves as women. "O'Brien would
stand better chance disguised as a
horse!" declared another. referring to
the fact that my height Il am six feet
two inches) would make me more con-
spicuous as woman than as a man.
Another suggested that we steal a
German Gotha-a type Of airplane
used for long-distance bombing. It is
these machines which are used for
bombing London. They are manned
by three men. one sitting in front with
a machine gun, the pilot sitting behind
him and an observer sitting In the rear
with another machine gun. We fg-
ured that, at pinch, perhaps, seven
or eight of US could make our escape
in single machine. They have two
motors Of very high horse power, fly
very high and make wonderful speed.
But we had no chance to put this idea
to the test.
worked out another plan by which
I thought might have chance If I
could ever get into one of the German
airdromes. would conceal myself In
one Of the hangers, wait until one Of
the German machines started out, and
as he TAXED along the ground would
rush out, shout at the top of my voice
and point exCitedly at his wheels. This,
I figured, would cause the pilot to stop
and get out to see what was wrong.
By that time I would be up to him, and
as he stopped over to inspect the ma
chine, I could knock him senseless,
jump into the machine and be over the
lines before the Huns could make up
their minds just what had happened.
1t was fine dream. but my
chance was not to come that way.

Some months later when had the
honor of telling my story to King

one Of the best jokes he had ever
heard. don't believe he ever laughed

on its way to Germany. the thought
kept coming to my head that unless I
could make my escape before we
reached that reprisal camp I might as
well make up my mind, as far as
was concerned. the war was over.
It occurred to me that If the eight
Of us In that car could jump at given
signal and seize those four Hun guards
by surprise, we'd have a splendid
chance of besting them and jumping
of the train when 1t first slowed down,
but when I passed the idea on to my
comrades they turned 1t down. Even
If the plan worked out as gloriously
as had pictured, they pointed out,
the fact that SO many Of us had es-
capped would almost inevitably result
in our recapture. The Huns would
have secured Belgium till they had
got us and then we would all be shot.
Perhaps they were right.
Nevertheless, 1 was determined that,
no matter what the others decided to
do, was going to make one bid for
freedom, come. what might.
As we passed through village after
village in Belgium and realized that
we were getting nearer and nearer to
that dreaded reprisal camp, con-
cluded that my one and only chance Of
getting free before we reached 1t was

Wealthy Wisconsin Maids
Did Bit in Pea Canneries
To Save the Great Crops

Wives and daughters Of wealthy cit
liens in the Wisconsin pea-canning
districts entered the canneries to aid
the labor situation. On Saturdays
they lined up for their pay envelopes
and received a minimum wage for
their ten hours work.
Forty per cent of the peas canned
in the United States are put up in
Wisconsin plants.
Earlier in the season pea packers
expressed grave fears Of a serious
labor shortage and pointed to the food
Administrators request for all the
peas possible.
George P. Hambrecht, labor commits
sioner, after a conference with Food
Administrator Hoover, sent labor COM
mission employees into all homes and
obtained pledges from women in all
walks Of life to work in the canneries.
Then a conference was arranged
with the packers, who were Informed
that they would be provided with help
if they paid the women a minimum
wage, established a ten-hour working
day except in an emergency, and
then not more than twelve hours, and
made proper sanitary arrangements.
The packers signed an agreement
the women who had pledged theil
services were called on, the response
was most satisfactory, and the can
neries operated with full force.

that the Government interest rate
should be stabilized at AZ per cent.
He points out that a raise in the rate
of interest of only one-fourth Of 1 per

bonds would mean an annual increase
of $25, 000, 900 in interest charges, and
that this money would have to be
raised by increased taxation and paid
by the people of the country. 1t
would not be paid by one class only,
because there are consumption as
well as other kinds Of taxes, and the
consumption taxes reach every class
Of people.
"As an intelligent people" said Sec
rotary McAdoo during the Third Lib

make a stand for the financing Of our
Government during the period Of this
