form the hardest and saddest duty
have ever been called upon to execute
to confirm to them In person the
tidlngs Of poor Paul's death.
The other British pilot who fell was
also from my squadron and a man
knew well-Lieutenant Keith Of Aus
tralia. had given him picture Of
myself only a few hours before start
ed on my own disastrous flight. He
was one Of the star pilots Of our squad
ron and had been In many desperate
battle before, but this time the odds
were too great for him. He put up a
wonderful fight and he gave as much
as he took.
The next two days passed without
Incident and I was then taken to the
intelligence department of the German
flying corps. which was located about
an hour from the hospital. There was
kept two days, during which time they
put thousand and one questions to
me. While was there l turned over
to them the message l had written in
the hospital and asked them to have
one of their flyers drop II on our side
of the line.
They asked me where I would like to
have 1t dropped, thinking perhaps l
would give my airdrome away, but
when ! smiled and shook my head. they
did not insist upon an answer.
"rll drop 1t over -" declared one
Of them, naming my airdrome. which
revealed to me that their flying corps
Is as efficient as other branches Of the
service In the matter Of obtaining valu-
able information.
And right here want to say that the
more ! came to know Of the enemy. the
more keenly realized what difficult
task we're going to have to lick him.
In all my subsequent experiences, the
fact that there is heap Of fight left
In the Huns still was thoroughly
brought home to me. We shall win
the war eventually. II we don't slow
up too soon, In the mistaken idea that
the Huns are ready to lie down.
The flying officers who questioned
me were extremely anxious to find out
all they could about the part America
Is going to play In the war. but they
evidently came to the conclusion that
America hadn't taken me very deeply
into her confidence, judging from the
Information they got, or failed to get,
from me.
At any rate, they gave me up as a
bad Job, and / was ordered to the off,
GERS prison at Courtrai, Belgium.

From the intelligence department

was about an hours ride. My escort
was one Of the most famous flyers In
the world, barring none. He was later
killed in action. but l was told by an
English alrman who witnessed his last
combat, that he fought q game battle
and died hero's death.
The prison. which had evidently
been q civil prison Of some kind before
the war. was located right In the heart
Of Courtrai. The first building we ap-
preached was large and in front Of
the archway, which formed the main
entrance, was q sentry box Here we
were challenged BY the sentry. who
knocked on the door; the guard turned

taken account Of the number of guards
and the locked door outside, and con-
cluded that my chances of getting
away from some other place could be
no worse than In that particular cell.
As I had no hat. my helmet being the
only thing l had worn over the lines,
l was compelled either to 60 bare
headed or wear the red cap Of the
Bavarian whom I had shot down on
that memorable day. It can be i'm
agined how looked attired In a Brit
ish uniform and a bright red cap.
Wherever I was taken my outfit
aroused considerable curiosity among
the Belgians and German soldiers.
When l arrived at prison that day l
still wore this cap. and as was taken
into the courtyard, my overcoat cover

officers. who happened to be summing
themselves In the courtyard, could see

me they wondered who the "bug Hun"

This cap ! managed to keep with me.
but was never allowed to wear It on
the walks we took. either went bare
headed or borrowed a cap from some
other prisoner.
At certain hours each day the pris-
oners were allowed to mingle in the
courtyard, and on the first occasion Of
this kind l found that there were II
officers imprisoned there besides my
self.
They had here interpreters who
could speak all languages. One Of
them was a mere boy who had been
born In Jersey City. N. J.. and had
spent all his life In America until
the beginning Of 1914. Then he moved
with his folks to Germany. and when
he became of military age the Huns
forced him into the army. I think II
the truth were known he would much
rather have been fighting for America
than against her.
I found that most Of the prisoners
remained at Courtrai only two or
three days. From there they were In
varinbly taken to prisons in the inte-
rior Of Germany.
Whether II was because I was an
American or because I was a flyer, l
don't know, but this rule was not fol-
lowed In my case. I remained there
two weeks.
During this period Courtral was con-
stantly bombed by our airmen. Not
single day or night passed without one
or more air raids In the two weeks
I was there counted q Of them. The
town suffered great deal Of damage.
Evidently our people were aware that
the Germans had lot Of troops con-
centrated In this town and besides the
headquarters staff was stationed there.
The kaiser himself visited Courtrai
while was In the prison. I was told BY
one Of the Interpreters, but he didn't
call on me, and for obvious reasons
couldn't call on him.
The courtyard was not very popu-
lar place during air raids. Several
