Back In tho states.

After I arrived at Rorschach I was
taken to large hall, where I re-
manned over night. There were three
American flags on the walls, the first
] had seen in long time. I certainly
did fine job Of sleeping that night.
] think I slept twice as fast to make
up for lost time. WI
In the morning I had regular ban
quet for breakfast-eggs. coffee, bread
and q small glass Of wine. Even now,
although I never pass up a meal, that
breakfast is still easy to taste, and I
sometimes wish could enjoy another
meal as much. But guess never
shall have one that goes as good.
After breakfast they took me out on
the steps Of the hall and photographed
me. after which I went to the railway
station, with a young mob at my heels.
It reminded me a bit Of Germany-it
was so different. Instead Of bricks
and bayonet jabs, the mob gave me
cigarettes and chocolate and sand
witches. They also handed me ques-
ttons-enough to keep me busy an
swering to this day II could.
got on the train to Zurich, and at
every stop on the way there were more
presents and more cameras and more
questions. At st. Gallen they had
cards ready for me to write on, and
then they were going to send them to
anybody I wished. The station at
Zurich was packed with people, and
began to think I was a star for sure.
Francis B. Keene, the American con-
sui general at Zurich. and his assist
ant, were there to meet me. We
walked . few blocks to his Office, and
all the way the cameras were clicking

with Mr.. Keene. he took me to the
Stussehof hotel, where my wounds

The Swiss certainly treated me wen.
Every time came out on the streets
they followed me around, and they
used to give me money. But the money
might just as well have been leather
or lead-I could not spend It. When
ever I wanted to buy anything the
shopkeeper would make me q present

I also visited the Hotel Baur au Lac,

things that made all the Americans

It certainly was hard, when the next
Dry came, to give up your whole ration
and go without that day. But never
Jaw q man hedge, or even speak Of It.
And we did not have any food pirates
among us either: we were not captains
OF industry by any means.
There were times when some Of us
could not eat certain Of our rations.
For instance, many and many q time
I was as hungry as anybody could be,
and wanted to eat my bread, but It
seemed as IL could not get It into
my mouth. Then I would trade It with
someone else for his shadow soup" or
tis barley coffee.
We were dying every day In Bran.
denburg and after each death the
senior men Of that barracks would de-
tail twelve Of their number to 60 ont
for half an hour and dig the grave.
while others made little crosses, on
which they wrote or carved the mans
name. when he was captured, and his
regiment or ship. In the middle Of
the cross were always the letters,
r. !. P.-Rest In Peace.
One time we were ordered to report
to the German doctors for serum
treatment Of some kind-to receive an
infection, In other words. There was
no choice about It this time, as we
were simply herded together to the
hospital barracks. Now, I knew what
these things were like and how brutal
the German doctors were In giving an
Infection, so I wanted TO be the very
FIRST man and not have 10 witness the
other men getting theirs.
So / pushed up to the head Of the
line, with the crew Of 81. N. s. Nomad,
who had been captured in the Jutland
battle, and BY the time we got to the
hospital was the very first man in line.
But the sentry threw me back and
there were several men ahead Of me,
Each Of them barred his chest and the
dectors slashed them across the breast
with very thin knife. so you can see
that It was very painful. When 1t
came to my turn they slashed me three
times in the shape Of a triangle just to
one side Of the breast. And that was
all there was to it-no injection, moth
ing on the knife that could see.
Now, I do not know what the idea
was. Every man Of us was dizzy for
the rest Of the day and could not do
anything but lay around the barracks.
And hardly any Of us bled drop.
though the gashes weresdeep. do not
think we had any blood in us to run,
and that is the truth Of It. It was
just another German trick that no one
could explain.
One day a war correspondent named
Bennett, from Chicago paper, came
to the camp and went through all the
barracks. When he came to our bar.
Jacks told him was an American
and asked for the news. Instead Of
answering he began to ask all sorts
Of questions. Finally, after had told
him had been In the French service,
I asked him II be could help me in any
way. He answered that I had only my
self to blame and that It served me
right If had been in one Of the allied
armies. 5

war tax.
The commission, feeling it had not
been treated properly or in correct
business way, replied that the lrall-
road would be held to it's agreement,
and reply to this was that the trains
would not be run. The Central eVr-
mont railroad will run special train
on Wednesday from st. Albans,
stopping at all stations to and in

fair commission guarantees the
Central Vermont 5000 for this train
