GOVERNMENT CONTROL

WASHINGTON, Aug t3-Another
move TO conserve capital in the United
States is under consideration by the
capital Issues committee OF the Treas
ury Department. II became known here
today that members Of the committee
favor complete supervision Of all bank
loans above 100000. While the propo-
sitlon is still in formative stages it
was said frankly by officials that only
through such a progress will the gov
ernment be able TO control large ex-
pendltures. The recently enacted legls-
latlon creating the capital issues com
mittee was framed with a direct view TO
ourtaillng large stock and bond flota-
tions which have been withheld until

amounted TO one-fourth Of the whole

CHAPTER XII.
Encounter German Soldiers.

What the Belgian told me about
the need Of passport gave me fresh
cause for worry. Suppose l should
run into a German sentry before l
succeeded in getting one?
/ decided that until l reached the
big city which the Belgian had men
Homeland which l cannot name for
fear of identifying some Of the people
there who befriended mel would
proceed with the utmost precaution.
Since / had discarded my uniform
and had obtained civilian clothes,
had not been quite as careful as was
at first. While / had done my trav-
cling at night. / had not gone into
hiding so early in the morning as
before and had sometimes started
again before it was quite dark, rely
ing upon the fact that / would prob
ably be mistaken for Belgian on his
way to or from work, as the case
might be. From now on, l resolved,
however, / would take no more
chances.
That evening came to a river per-
haps seventy-6ve yards wide and /
was getting ready to swim 1t when I
thought I would walk little way to
find, IL possible, better place to get
to the river from the bank. / had not
walked more than a few hundred
yards when saw boat. It was the
first time l had seen a boat In all my
experiences.
1t was firmly chained, but as the
stakes were sunk In the soft bank 1t
was not much of job to pull them
out. / got In, drank to my hearts
content, showed over to the other side,
got out, drove stake into the ground
and moored the boat. 1t would have
been a simple matter to have drifNa
down the river, but the river was not
shown on the map and / had no Adea
where 1t might lead me. Very reluc-
family, therefore, / had to abandon
the boat and proceed on foot.
] made several miles that night and
before daylight found safe place in
which to hide for the day. From my
hiding place / could see through the
bushes a heavy thick wood only
short distance away. decided that

east or to the west l could hear
family the striking of village bells,
and l knew that if I changed my
course / would undoubtedly strike
farms and vegetables, but the North
Star seemed to plead with me to fol-
low it and / would not turn aside.
When daylight came, the conse-
quence was was empty handed and /
had to find hiding place for the day.
l thought / would approach the first
peasant came to and ask for food,
but that day I had misgivings-a
hunch--that would get into trouble
If did, and l decided to go without
food altogether for that day.
1t was foolish thing to do. found.
because / not only suffered greatly
from hunger all that day, but 1t inter-
fered with my sleep. l would drop off
to sleep for half an hour, perhaps,
and during that time would dream
that l was free, back home, living a
life of comparative ease, and then l
would wake up with q start and catch
a glimpse of the bushes surrounding
me- feel the hard ground beneath me
and the hunger pangs gnawing at my
sides, and then I would realize how
far from home I really was, and I
would lie there and wonder whether
l would ever really see my home
again. Then I would fall asleep again
and dream this time, perhaps of the
days i spent in Courtrai, or my leap
from the train window, of the Bava-
rian pilot whom / sent to eternity in
my last air fight, of my tracer bullets
getting closer and closer to his head,
and then l would wake up again with
a start and thank the Lord that was
only dreaming it all again instead Of
living through it!
That night / got an early start be-
cause knew had to have food, and
/ decided that rather than look for
vegetables would take chance and
apply to the first Belgian peasant
whom / came to.
1t was about 8 o'clock when l came
to small house. l had picked up
heavy stone and had bound it in my
handkerchief and was resolved to use
it as weapon If 1t became necessary.
After all I had gone through, 1 was
resolved to win my liberty eventually
at whatever cost.
AS it happened, 1 found that night
the first real friend had encountered
in all my travelling. When l knocked
timldly on the door, it was opened by

OF the new patriotic songs that we

hour and then came to another little
village. My usual course would have
been to go around it--through fields,
back yards, woods or whatever else
lay in my way-but ! had gained so
much time by going through the last
village instead of detouring around
1t and my appearance seemed to be so
unsuspicious that decided to try the
same stunt again.
stopped humming and kept very
much on the alert, but apart from
that, walked boldly through the
main street without any feeling of
alarm.
l had proceeded perhaps a mile
along the main street when / noticed
ahead of me three German soldiers
standing at the curb.
Again my heart started to beat fast,

so before.

scribe my feelings. / thought that
the Jig was up-that all / had gone
through and all l had escaped would
now avail me nothing, mingled with
the feeling of disgust with my

had bottle Of water In one pocket
and piece Of bread In the other, and
as the Hun advanced to search me ]
held the bottle up In one hand and
the piece of bread in the other so that
he could see that was all / had.
1t occurred to me that he would
"frisk" me-that is, feel me over for
arms or other weapons, then place
me under arrest and march me off to
the guardhouse. ] had not the slight
est idea but that / was captured and
there didn't seem to be much use in
resisting, unarmed as / was and with
two other German soldiers within a
few feet Of us.
Like flash 1t suddenly dawned on
me, however, that for all this soldier
could have known / was only Bel
gian peasant and that his object In
searching me, which he proceeded to
do, was to ascertain whether / had
committed the common "crime" of
smuggling potatoes.
The Belgians were allowed only a
certain amount Of potatoes, and 1t is
against the laws laid down by the
Huns to deal in vegetables of any
kind except under the rigid supervl-
sion of the authorities. Nevertheless,
1t was one OF the principal vocations
of the average poor Belgian to buy
potatoes out in the country from
peasants and then smuggle them into
the large cities and sell them clan
destinely at high price.
To stop this traffic in potatoes, the
German soldiers were in the habit of
subjecting the Belgians to frequent
search, and was being held up by
this soldier for no other reason than
that he thought / might be a potato
smugglerl
He felt of my outside clothes and
pockets. and finding no potatoes
seemed to be quite satisfied. Had he
but known who I was he could have
earned an iron cross Or, perhaps, in
view Of the fact that I had heavy
water bottle In my uplifted hand, 1t
might have turned out to be a wooden

which, Of course, did not understand.
and then some Belgian peasants came
along and seemed to distract his atten-
ton. Perhaps he had said 'Tt's all

bread, and he warmed me some milk
on small oil stove.
/ ate ravenously and all the time i
was engaged / knew that he was eye
ing me closely.
Before / was half through he came
over to me, touching me on the Shout
der, and STOPPING over so that his lips
almost touched my ear, he said in
broken English. "You are an Eng
lishman-I know it-and you can hear

There was smile on his face and
friendly attitude about him that told
me instinctively that he could be
trusted, and / replied: you have
guessed right-only / am an Ameri-
can, not an Englishman."
He looked at me pityingly and filed
my cup again with warm milk.
His kindness and apparent willing
ness to help me almost overcame me,
and l felt like warning him of the
consequences he would suffer IL the
Huns discovered he had befriended
me. / had heard that twenty Belgians
had been shot for helping Belgians
to escape into Holland and l hated
to think what might happen to this
good old Samaritan If the Huns ever
knew that he had helped an escaped
American prisoner.
After my meal was finished, I told
him in as simple language as I could

frontier the more German soldiers
you will encounter, and without a

asked him to suggest way by
which could overcome the difficulty.
He thought for several moments
and studied me closely all the time
perhaps endeavoring to make abso-
lutely sure that / was not a German
spy-and then apparently deciding in
my favor, told me what he thought it
was best for me to do.

He told me where the man in ques-
ton could be found and gave me some
useful directions to continue my jour-
ney, and then he led me to the door.
l thanked him thousand times and
wanted to pay him for his kindness
and help but he would accept nothing.
He did give me his name and you may
be sure shall never forget it, but to
mention it here might, of course, re-
suit in serious consequences for him.
