BERNE, Dec. go. tBy Mail.)-An
American army whipped the Germans
right in their own backyard, long be-
fore the armistice was signed.
This army wasn't big. as armies go,
and it didn't have a rife, or a cannon
or any of the other usual implements.
But it had morale to burn; and morale
won.
These doughboys we're war prison
ers. There were eventually about
$500 of them.
The story of how these men won
their battle at the Rastatt prison
camp became known only when the
American prisoners came out of Ger
many. Edgar NJ. HalyburtOn of South
Carolina was responsible for Young
America in Germany" He is an army
sergeant of years service. 1t was his
bad luck to be one of the first Amer
leans captured by the Germans, back
in October, 1917. He belonged to the
1st division. He is a tall, lean chap,
25 pounds hnderweight now because
of German treatment and his tireless
work
Halyburton unanimously was elect
ed commander of Young America in
Germany" by his associates.
Shortly after Halyburton was taken
to a prison camp he was Joined by
half a dozen other Americans, cap
tured in the first few days of Ameri-
cas- fighting He and his companions
were hitched to wagon with sixteen
Russians and made to haul wood from
a forest, seven miles from the camp.
Their shoes gave out and they tied
rags to their feet. The snow often
was up to their knees and the wealth
er was bitterly cold. Their food con-
sisted of a piece of prison bread in
the morning and soup so thin you
could see the bottom of the pail" at
night.
Set American Standard.
The Americans stood it several
weeks, growing weaker and weaker,
but studying their German captors.
Soon another group of captured Am
orleans arrived. making the total about
twenty. Then they decided to demand
better treatment. They had noticed
that the Germans had a distinct treat
ment for prisoners of each nationality.
Rpsians and Rumanians were treat
ed as dogs, or worse, and were being
slowly starved. British were treated
somewhat better, and the French best
of all.
Americans were now in Germany
and no standard of treatment had been
established for them. The Germans
had started the first Americans on the
same plan as the Russians. Halybur-
ton and his pals began establishing
an American standard They made hinrt
leader and agreed to stick by him
through anything. They summed
up their position thus: We'll soon
die on this anyway; we should have
died at the front, and we can't die
better than by demanding that we be
treated as Americans"
Halyburton first ordered them to
clean up as best they could. Then he
demanded, in the best military way, to
see the camp commander He saw
him, and declared that the Americans
must be treated and fed better. and
refused for them to do further wood
hauling. He told the Prussian he
could either line the Americans up
and shoot them, or comply with their
demands.
The commander was furious, but the
Americans hauled no more wood.
They were moved to Rastatt, and their

There is much moralizing in these
pages, much discussion of capital AMI
labor in the tone prevailing before the
war. Also there is brilliant sketch Of
Harle's chief aid in the moulding of
Claudia's character, the COmtesse De
Fourchamps. She is such woman as
Balzac loved to picture, a provincial with
Paris ambitions and a foolish husband
with passion for mountain climbing who
gratifed her ambitions. As an illustra-
ton of the Tigers satirical wit we quote
this episode in the career Of the couple:
"Fourchamps, however, went back to his
life of mountain climbing and followed
the path of Humboldt on the slopes Of
Chimborazo. He remained, unhappy
man, inside volcano. He is still there,
in spite of the searching parties sent out
by his wife. Her mourning was of
rare propriety. At time of life when
every year counted she lived In seclusion
for a whole year, in the company of
Baron Oppert, her financial adviser. By
a refinement of delicacy which was wholly
appreciated by every one, the Baron HIM
self did not give his annual flower fetc
that year"

The Boy Wirelesser

4 FREDERICK COLLINS, a spe-

a story as well as instruct, has written
new one, Jack Heaton, Wireless Operator.
Jack is schoolboy who has hobby
for printing. His three friends have q
hobby for wireless telegraphy. 1t was
while he was visiting at his friends little
wireless station that the two hobbies
clashed. Sh-h-h! "'The Republic is sink
ing and is sending out CQDs.'" This
WAS the first time that wireless telegraphy,
the most fascinating Of modern inventions.
took its grip upon Jack Heaton. He
seized every opportunity to learn its tech
nicalities and shortly afterward became
the youngest operator In the Atlantic coast
service.
But Jacks experiences do not stop with
the Atlantic coast service. No! He saves
the passengers and crew of sinking ship,
is captured by savage Indians while put
ting up q wireless service in the Amazon
jungle, shares in making the first transat-
lantic wireless connection and sees service
in Mexico and in France.
After reading Mr.. Collins's book the
boy will not look upon such technical
terms as spark-gap electrodes, strain in
sulators, transmitter, interference and
electromagnetic waves with anything but.

so far as to know the Morse code as well
as the alphabet. And besides all this,
Jacks adventures make fine story.

OSCAR GRAEVE'S Youth Goes
~ Seeking is probably lot intended
10 throw oil on the waters Of the most an
cient dispute that disturbs the metropoi-
tan peace of our community. There is no
reason why one should not live in Brook
Iyn except for that borough's publicity on
the vaudeville stage. And neither do we
believe that residence in Grace Court on
the Heights is such monastic experience
that a man must quarrel with his guar
dams, throw up his career in a Brooklyn
factory and set out on an exploring expe-
dition to Greenwich Village in order to
live his life and meet reality. We have
even seen legal, decent residents of Grace
Court partaking of some Paradini's sew
enty cent dinner with wine, in close prox-
unity to New York's best known village,
without consciously feeling that they were
exploring life.
The impression, however, is inescapabe
in reading Mr.. Graeve's book that young
Brooklynites, particularly from the neigh
borhood of Remsen street, are brought up
to regard Manhattan, and more especially
the Greenwich Village section, as a place
where a jungle fauna still persists and
where no decent trolley dodger can think
of going without moral and spiritual
revolution comparable to that of polar

The Tiger of France
AS a Novelist

THE world well knows by this time
l. that Premier Ciemenceau is an
Independent and forceful statesmen, AMI
so it is to be expected on beginning
to read a novel of his authorship that
its fabric should not be fashioned in
any common mould. This expectation is
gratifed in the pages of The Strongest
lies Plus Fort in the Originally, novel
Of modern French life that presents the
miracle of Gallo triangle not based on
the love affairs of two men and a woman.
When this story was written we do not
know, nor is there any indication as to who
translated it; but it reads as if it might
have been written in our veracular, and
there are little touches in the moral
comments Of the Marquis de Puymaufray
which remind one of the fact that Clemen-
eeau once taught schsOl in the United
States. These moralities have so much
the Anglo-Saxon air that they made this
reporter wonder if NJ. Clemenceau had
possibly carried back to France with
him a little flavor of the New England
conscience.
The triangular battle in The Strongest
is fought between the Marquis de
Puymaufray, the real father of Claudia
Harle, her supposed father, Dominic
Harle, and worldly power. The tragedy
of this struggle lies in the fact that the
Marquis can never know his daughter for
his own and that all his efforts to fashion
her life and her moral viewpoint in
opposition to the conventions of smart
Paris life fail, Claudia preferring the
model that had been set before her by
the ambitious Harle. The Marquis sums
up his ambitions and the result in these
words: II wanted you to be happy
through love, your father wanted you
TO be happy by ruling over others. 1

From the moment Henry piles his
worldly goods into cab and says to the

ehalant and thrilling Mr.. Graeve begins
to do fine thing. There are lurid scenes

how to handle his bohemians pretty well.
He succeeds admirably in keeping Henry
and Anne Corcoran and Lilly Mccarthy

not entirely within the limits of morality.

how Henry could have fallen in love with

Both women are beautiful; Anne is cold

About twenty-siX kilometers east Of
