OF ascup of coffee-real coffee, not
the kind l had had at Courtrai-sev'
eraI slices of bread, some hot pota'
toes and a dish OF scrambled eggs
Every mouthful OF that meal tasted
like angeI-food to me, and HuyligeT
sat on the edge of the bed and
watched me enjoying it, at the szs2e
time outlining the plans he had made
for my escape.
In brief. the scheme was to conceal
me in a convent until conditions vera
ripe for me to make my way to the
border. In the meanwhile / was &c

become increasingly difficult, he
pointed out, and would bring newt
able disaster in the event that l was
called upon 10 SPEAK
Huyliger said l would be given
sufficient money to bride the Ger
man guards at the Dutch frontier and
he assured me that everything would
work out according to schedule.
Yours is not the first case
O'Rrien. we have handled success
fully" he declared. only three
weeks ago I heard from an English
merchant who had escaped from q
German detention camp and came 20
me for assistance and whom | had
been able to get through the lines,
His message telling me of his safe
arrival in Rotterdam came to me IN
an indirect way. of course. but the
fact that the plans we had made car
ried through without mishap makes
me feel that we ought to be able to
do as much for you"
I told Huyliger / was ready to fol-
low his instructions and would dc
anything he suggested.

soon as / possibly can" I told him
but I realize that it will take a GER
tain length OF time for you to make
the necessary arrangements, and
will be as patient as I can"
Role of Spanish Sailor
The first thing to do. Huyliger told
me, was to prepare a passport. He
had a blank one and il was a com
paratively simple matter TO i'll in the
spaces, using a genuine passport
which Huyliger possessed as a sample
of the handwriting of the passport
clerk.
Ny occupation was entered as that
OF a sailor. My birthplace we gave
as Spain, and we put my age al
thirty. As a matter of fact. at that
time | could easily have passed fol
thirty-five. but we figured that with
proper food and a decent place tC
sleep at night, could soon -esair
my normal appearance, andathe pass
port would have to serve me, per
haps. for several weeks to come.
Filling in the blank spaces on the
passport was. as I have said. a eSm
paratively easy matter. but that did
not begin to fill the bill. Every gen
unfne passport bore an official rub

NEW YORK, June I0.-The stagnati ton of the
presen tmarket reminds of the market just be-
fore the recent good rise. 1t looks sold out
and has a fair short interest. 1t seems for the
time being to be unaffected by either good or
bad news. The question of the excess income
tax is probably for responsible as much as
anything else for the quiet. Until it is i'm
posed there will be lot of uncertainty and
after it is imposed a certain amount of dis
sa tisfactiou but that will rapidly pass away.
because nothing lasts long here. Big business
with good profits seem assured. Marine, pre-
ferred has been the fIuctuator of the day.
There is a feeling generally that the deal is
consumated but yet no terms are announced.

FREE NOTARIAL
SERVICE ASKED
Major Murdock Wants Regis
trantS to Get Consideration
on Questionnaires Now

Members of local draft boards
were to-day informed in a circular
issued by Major w. G. Murdock, the
states chief draft officer. that within
few days they will be directed to
send questionnaires to the regis
trants of September 12 and that they
can familiarize themselves with the
provisions. Free notarial services are
urged.
1t is directed that local and legal
boards are TO arrange for ample on
portunities to be given TO reglstrants
10 make up questionnaires and that
in rural communities arrangements
; should be made whereby registrants
should not be compelled to travel
great distances in order to consult
attorneys, while in industrial centers
it is suggested that arrangements
be made whereby questionnaireS can
be explained TO men without requir-
ing them to travel to offices of
boards and cause loss of time. 1t is
of the utmost importance that work
ing men engaged in government work
should not be required TO lose time
in seeking information relative TO
filling out their questionnaires, says
the circular. 1t Is Iurtner stated,
NO registrant in the State OF Penn
sylvania should be compelled to pay
notary fee in swearing to the an
swers in his questionnaires and every
local board should be sufficiently in
terested in protecting the rights of
its registrants as TO see that no reg
trant is charged such fees"
Warning is given that Pennsylva-
mia will be called upon to furnish
many men and because of its COM
plex industrial system and the i'm
portance of its war activities lit can
readily be seen that the greatest
care must be given by boards in the
selection OF men who can best be
spared for induction into the serv-
ice"
Major Murdoch says that state
officers and notaries should admin
lister oaths to registrants without
| charge.
