State Su- pervising Agent A. B. Lord spoke on the desirability of obtaining the greatest possible educational results with the means at ones command and suggested that as the children living at a distance are now convey ed to their school houses, it would be better to consolidate the schools, and have but one school building, making it possible to give attention to- physical culture. agriculture, etc, and enabling the town to pay better salaries to the teachers, with better results, at less total cost.

 Rescue Attempt Fails.
 It was not our fault that Robinson was not rescued. As 1 have said, Vedrines was in waiting, ready to carry his British comrade to safety, and we had laid our plans for an.- pushing the escort which was to go on by road with Robinson and other prisoners. Unfortunately, at the last minute there was a change of plan, and Captain Robinson was sent on by train with an important parsonage who happened to be travelling to Berlin and was eager to take this dis tinguished prisoner along with him.
 The escort was attacked on the road as arranged, and a number of prisoners were released, but we soon found that Robinson was not am on g them. After this incident, the Ger mans sent large bodies of troops into the district to search the woods and roads for escaped prisoners. They encountered a few, who were shot at sight. but I am glad to say that the rest of the men we had rescued got away safely, being sent i'll parties Ot tWos and threes through to the Brit ish lines at Lille.
 It is really surprising that tha British public seems to know so little of the extent to which the escape of prisoners was going on every day III France. Yet, if one looks up the off, cial lists, one will see that after every important battle there were scores of men at first reported missing who afterward rejoined. Most of these men were actually far behind the German lines when first reported missing, but by one means or another they had got back to their units.
 In other cases, men reached the British lines before ever being re- ported missing and their names do not appear in the lists at all.
 Not all of the prisoners We helped to escape were grateful to us Some were absolutely war weary, and even the prospect of Imprisonment in Ger many they preferred to going back to the drudgery and discomfort Of the trenches.
 There was one of these ungrateful men, however, who had an entirely different reason for reSentlng our in reference on his behalf. He was one of a party of about 20 French and British officers and men who were sent out of Brussels one morning to march to Nalenciennes, whence they were to be sent on to Germany by ,J railway route that had just been reopened after extension. The escort accompanying them was very srall, owing to the fact that the Germans were then beginning to feel the pinch it was in the days of the battle of the Somme-and wanted all Of their men for the fighting line.

I understand that the mission of the captain was successful. He got through tho camps, as he wished, and all of the time he was able to keep the British government supplied with valuable reports regarding the condk. tion of the camps and the feelings among the Irish prisoners of war. Later he made his escape, just as he had planned, and from that date until Armistice Day he was at Liberty in Germany, moving among those who were plotting for German aid for the Sim Fein party.
 How he succeeded in doing this and in getting his information out of the country he would not tell me when l. put it to him, excusing himself on the ground that it might get others into serious trouble with the Germans.
 There is, however. no doubt of the truth of his story, for I have had it confirmed by responsible British auth critics who were in a position to know what lFthe captain was doing during the two years or so he was a' prisoner and a fugitive in Germany.
 This method of getting spies inJo Germany was more freely resorted to by the French than by the British or" Belgians, and they certainly found it successful enough to be kept up. We were often warned of the inclusion of these men in parties of prisoners, and when rescues were successful we did not object to the men going back to the Germans.

ried the bodies of the German patrol outside the village and buried them.
 The German authorities were some time in finding out what had hap pened to the patrol but they did dis cover it's loss in due course, and measures were taken to punish the villagers. I believe that a number of hostages were shot, and a fine was imposed on the villagers.
 Robinson's Capture.
 After a stay of about eight days Major D. was taken back to the British lines by FOnck, who was in the neighborhOOd in connection with the landing of French intelligence of- ficers to take Q survey of the roads by which the Germans were to retreat when they decided on the abandon ment of Belgium.
 l saw this daring young officer on several subsequent occasions. Like Major Harker, he moved freely about Brussels and the districts around Ghent without being challenged once.
 Captain ". Leefe Robinson, the British airman who first brought down a Zeppelin on British soil, was another man of whom I saw good deal at that time, and I had the pain of seeing him carried off into captivi- ty without being able to render him the slightest assistance. We had heard of his capture from Nedrines, who had paid a surprise visit that day, and the little Frenchman was very anxious we should save the Brit ish airman at all costs. At great dan ger to himself he remained in the neighborhood that night until it was clear there was absolutely no hope of getting Captain Robinson out of the hands of his captors.
 When ] said to the excitable little man that there was no hope, he near ly broke down.
 "Oh, mon Dieu," he said, Wringin 5 his hands and pacing about in his excitement, and he was such a brave man, such a good comrade, ana such a daring airman! They will kill him for certain, these Boches. They do not love the brave men who fight them from the air. They have sworn to kill him if ever he falls into their hands, for Count Zeppelin does not like the man who showed that his airships were not good.'
 Vedrines was, unfortunately, right
 
 be ill-treated in Germany, but none of us imagined that the ill-treatment would be such as to occasion his death so soon after the armlStice brought release for him. Robinson was very modest and very daring. l asked him once about his exploit in bringing down d Zeppelin.
 "Only my luck, just luck, and nothing more," he said. Tt was rough on the others. They had stalked the beast for some time, and just when they were going to get him the German changed his course and came right bang up against me. Otherwise, l had not an earthly chance of getting him. I was not slow to take the chance offered, and I climbed above him until l was req dy then 1 came lower and let him

of the prisoners, including the one of whom I have spoken This was an Irish officer, a captain in rank. When he was brought to our house with the rest, the captain was in a terrible rage.
 What the devil do you mean bv interfering in what doesn't concern YOU? ?" he shouted at me, and I con- fess that such a greeting from a ma Il whose gratitude I expected rather took. me aback.
 Surely" I answered. controlling my own anger, you do not call it in reference if men risk their lives to save you from the torment of German prison camps?"
 'Torment be damned, and you be damned with it!' was the retort Of the angry Irishman. q insist upon being set free at once and allowed to go on my way. torment or no tor nent.'
 I confess I did not know what to make of this man. He did not strike me as a man likely 10 prefer impris- onment to the dangers of the fighting line, and I thought it best to ask what reason he had for his strange prefer encc.
 What is that to you?" he retorted, and I saw there was only one way to pacify him, and that was to let him go his way. To the amazemen1 of the Belgians and some of the British soldiers who had been rescued, I *old them 10 allow the captain to go back to his German captOrs.
 I took the captain away, and when we wee alone I suggested that per haps he would not object to telling me the reason for hls strange pref erence.
 "There is a reason, as you say" he replied, but Wha. t is you must not expect me to say. All I can tell you is that I am going into Germany with your permission, if you care to give it. but without it, if you choose that alternative.''
 I had to leave the fiery little man. and it was not until nearly two years later that I learned the truth about his anxiety to get into Germany. The British government was anxious to know what was going on behind the scenes in Germany at that time with reference to the plans for aiding in surrection in Ireland.
 Lived in Disguise.
 The captain had volunteered to go to Berlin, where he had many friends and had lived before the war. His own way of getting there was char acteristic. He went out to the front With an Irish regiment and one day allowed himself to be captured. 1t was his intention to see as much o~ the German camps as possible i'll order to find out the state of feeling among the Irish prisoners of war ana afterward to escape and live in Ger many in disguise, which he believed he could obtain through friends.
