To FLY Across Atlantic Ocean.

Sir Charles C.. Allom. British bust
ness man, says company with which
he is connected is building flying
boat that is to cross the Atlantic Ocean
to America at a speed of seventy-five
miles per hour. He says that the Brit
isl government has an engine, lately
developed, that has made the crossing
to America by both airplanes and fly
ing boats possible. The trick could
already have been done several times,
he said. had his government allowed
the use of the engine. Pending the de-
velGpments Of the peace negotiations,
however, the British government will
keep the secret Of this powerful engine.

CHAPTER XXI.
A Visit From Mr.. Gerard

Late that night we arrived at Dull
men, Westphalia. We were rousted
out Of the carriage mustered on the
{ platform, counted, then drilled through
& the streets. In spite Of the lateness,
Y tie streets were pretty well filled with
people, and they zig-zagged US through
s all the streets they could, so that all
the people would have chance to see
he crazy men, as they called us. Most
e the people were women, and as soon
% they saw us coming, they began
anging the swatch on the Rhine" or
1one other German song, and it was
l1nny to see windows opening and fat
6ens, with night-caps on. sticking
nlelr heads out of the windows. They
NDuld give us quick once-over. and
fipe up like a boatswain: "Schwein-
Ind Vaterland-Wacht am Rhein"
N kinds Of things and all mixed up.
b We gave them 'Tipperary" and
INK Up Your Troubles" and
red them how to sing. Our guards

Aen down, we did not stop until we
had finished the song. Then, after we
s. had admitted to each other that we
we're not downhearted, we shut up.
ss We would have done so, anyway, be-
eause by this time we were on the out
firts Of the town, and we needed all
pc breath we had. The road we were
"a was just one long sheet of ice, and
Ne could hardly walk more than four
steps without slipping and falling. My

they would also. So we dropped out

nd Just about caught up with us, and
yen we would go on. We did this
geral times until they got onto us,

Up the road a piece l fell again, and

and what he had said TO them. We
knew Mr.. Gerard had got:the Germans
to make conditions better in some of
the worst hell-holes in Germany and
the men were always glad when he
came around. They felt they had some
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 IN argument
with the commanding officer and they
finally said he could interview me. I
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 lie 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 enough good
things about him. Like many others,
If 1t had not been for Mr.. Gerard ]
would be kaput by now.
A few days after this / was slow
again as we were marching to the
bread house and the guard ut the door
tripped me. When l fell hurt my
wounds. which made me hot. Now
had decided, on thinking 1t over, that
the best thing to do HEs to be good;
since l was expecting to be released
aid I thought it would be tough luck
to be killed just before I was to be
released. But had been in the Amer
lean navy and any garby Of the q. S. A
would have done what did. It must
be the training we get, for when 9
dirty trick Is pulled off on US we gel
very nervous around the hands and arc
not always able to control them.
So I went for the sentry and wal
loped him in the jaw. Then I received
his bayonet through the ffeshy part o.
the forearm. Most bayonet wound,
that we got were in the arm. Blu
those arms were In front of our face:
at the time. The sentries did not ain
for our arms, you can bet on that. 4
wound of the kind got would be moth
ing more than q white streak II prop
erly attended to, but l received abso
lutely no attention for 1t and 1t wa
long time in healing. At that, wa!
lucky; another bayonet stroke jus
grazed my stomach.

On the way we changed trains a

Germans were so easy on those who
tried to run away that almost thought
they were encouraging them. One

was there-that is. he had just about

A DELIGHTFUL CONCERT
EVERY EVENING

Talking about concerts and demon
strations you can enjoy a delightful
concert every evening if you walH in
the drug store of Glider and Weeks.
No one takes more delight and real
pleasure in demonstrating on the
great Edison than does DR.. C. D.
Weeks, and he can tell you all about
the great singers and their voices
and will demonstrate the reproduc-
tions on the Edison any time you
would like to hear sweet music.
There is no sweeter music than
that which comes from the Edison
and there is no machine that can re-
produce the human voice equal to the
Edison. And we know no one who
takes more real pleasure in telling
you about the Edison than does DR..
Weeks.

The recorders Office got cash for

Now that the city election is set

business of building Newberry. Mr..

election for mayor, is one of the best
business men in the city and he will
do his part in the improvement of
the place. He received handsome
vote all around and carried. his ward
