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.
never was so glad to see anyone as
I was to see him. The picture is still
with me Of him coming in the door.
We talked for about an hour and q
half, l guess, and then he got up to
go and he said 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 I celebrated by doing all the dam
age to German sentries 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
those who cannot say enough good
things about him. Like many others.
If it had not been for Mr.. Gerard
would be kaput by. now.
A few days after this was slow
again az We were marching to the
bread house and the guard at the door
tripped me. When I fell I hurt my
wounds. which made me hot. Now I
had decided, on thinking it over, that
the best thing to do was to be good,
since l. was expecting to be released,
and I thought it would be tough luck
to be killed just before was to be
released. But had been in the Amer
lean navy and any garby Of the y. s. A.
would have done what I did. It must
be the training we get, for when q
dirty trick IL pulled OF on us We get
| very nervous around the hands and are
not always able to control them.
So went for the sentry and wal
loped him in the Jaw. Then received
his bayonet through the fleshy part of
the forearm. Most bayonet wounds
that we got were In the arm. But
those arms were in front Of our faces
at the time. The sentrtes did not aim
for our arms, you can bet on that. 4

away were brought back, though. The
Germans were 80 easy on those who
tried to run away that I almost thought
they were encouraging them. One
chap was doing his ten days in the
guardhouse for the sixth time while
I was there-that is. he had just about
completed his period of detention. He
claimed that the sixth time he had
really got across the border and was
arrested in little town by the Dutch
authorities and turned over to the Ger
mans. That is against the law in
most countries, but he swore it was the
truth. l am not so sure, myself. He
got away for the seventh time while
l was at Dulmen and was not returned.
Ten days in the guardhouse is not
such a light punishment after all. be-.
cause water three times day is all
the prisoner received during that time,
but it is pretty mild compared to some
Of the things the Huns do.
One morning thought for sure 1
was going cafard. was just fed up
on the whole business and sick of do
ing nothing but suffer. So I strolled
along, sticking my head into barracks
doors, sometimes trying to have talk,
other times trying to pick fight. 1t
was all one to me: just wanted some
thing to do. I found what wanted,
all right.
I had quite talk with sentry In
front of barracks. It must have
lasted three-quartcrs of an hour. He
did not know what I was calling him,
and I did not know what he was call
Ing me. l could have handled him all
right, but another sentry came up on
my blind side and grabbed me and the
talk was over.
They dragged me to the commander
OF the camp and he instructed them to
give me bath. So they took me to
the bathhouse, where I was stripped
and dashed. All the time they were
whipping me was thinking what q
joke it was on me, because had been
looking for excitement and had got
more than I wanted, so I laughed and
the Huns thought was crazy sure.
Twas dumped into a vat Of hot water
and at the same time my clothes were
given boiling, which was good fol
them.
Then I was forced into my wet
clothes and marched back to the bar
racks. This bath and the stroll
through the snow in wet clothes Just
about did for me. Nowadays, when
sit in draft for second and catch
cold, l wonder that am still alive t.

I had been at Dulmen for three
weeks when we we're transferred to
Brandenburg, Havel, which is known
as "the hel-hole Of Germany" to the
prisoners. 1t certainly is not too
strong q name for it, either.
On the way we changed trains at
Osnabruck and from the station plat

they had to borrow wood from us for
their collins. We would make the box
and put the body in it, give it as much
service as we could, In the way of
prayers and hymns, and put it away in
hole near the barracks. There was
so much Of it that a single death
passed unnoticed.
One morning the German sentries
came to our barracks-they never
came singly-and told US that an off,
Ger was going to review the prisoners
and ordered us to muster up, which we
did. I was the last man out Of the bar
racks and on account Of my wounds
was slower than the rest.
You understand had had no medical
treatment except crepe-paper BAN
dages and water; my wounds had been
opened by swimming from the Georgia
to the Moewe and they had been put
In terrible shape in the coal bunkers.
On account Of the poor food and lack
of treatment they had not even started
to heal. Incidentally, the only cloth
bandages that any Of us had were what
we would tear from our clothes and l
have seen men pick up an old dirty
rag that someone else had had around
his wound for long time and bandage
his own wounds with it.
So it was all could do to drag my
self along. The officer noticed that
was out Of line and Immediately asked
my name and nationality. When he
heard "Amertcan" he could not say
enough things about us and called me
all the swine names he could think of.
I was pretty thin at this time and
getting thinner, so 1 figured night
just as we'll have it out before
starved. Besides, thought. he ought
to know that we are not used to being
bawled out by German swine in this
country.
So told him so. And said that he
should not bawl Americans out, be-
cause America was neutral. He then
said that as America supplied food and
munitions to the allies she was no bet
ter than the rest.
Then said: "Do you remember the

timore and New London she got all the

eyes,"
WELL, II you send over your mer-
chant marine they will get the same"
For that answer he gave me ten days
in the guardhouse. He did not like to
be reminded that their merchant ma
rine had to dive under to keep away
from the Limeys.
| admit was pretty flip to this Of
fcer, but who would not be when a
slick German swine officer bawled him
out?
It was while I was in the guardhouse
that Mr.. Gerard, the American ambas-
sador, visited the camp. He came to
this camp about every six months, as
q rule. Even In the German prison
camps the men had somehow got infor-
nation about Mr.. Gerard's efforts to
improve the terrible surroundings in
which the men lived. Some of the men
at Dulmen had been confined in vari-
Gus other camps and they told me that
when Mr.. Gerard visited these camps
all that the men did for week or SO
afterward was to talk about his visit
