CHAPTER XIX.
German Prison camps.

German Prison Camps.
A few days after ! had been lashed
to the barbed wire fence some Of the
German ofYicers came to the barracks,
and one Of them who. spoke very good
English said: "All Of the neutrals who
were on unarmed ships step out"
Only . few stepped out.
Then he called for oil the neutrals,
and the Danes. Swedes. NorwegianA
Brazilians and Spaniards stepped out.
But when ! did. hs said. "No, not
Americans. Americans are not neu.
tral. America supplies our enemies
with food and ammunition" He raised
his nst. and I thought no was going to
hit me. but instead he gave mo q
shove that caused me to fall and get
n little cut on tho head. Then tho
scntries pushed me over with the
British and the French.
After that they took the Norweri.
ans. Swedes and Danes to separate
barracks. and gave them clothes and
beds and the same rations as the Ger.

mo to the oflicers again. kicked me
about and swore at me. and the only
answer I got was that America would
suffer for all she had done for the a.
lies. Thea ! was sent back 10 the bar.
racks again.
The next day at about one o'closk
they took ~ from the barracks ard

the cars we were frosen stifY. I could

simply could not move without intense

The bread was hard and dark. and
! really think they made II from trees.
II had Just exactly the same smell
that the dirt around trees has.
We fled past tho sentrics single filc

there was no chance Of getting In line

could not 80 back In the barracks up.

Our meals were like this A cnn Of

or amy other time.
This cabbage soup was n great idea.
We called Il shadow soup. because the
boys claimed they made II BY hanging
= cabbage over 4 barrel Of water and
letting the shadow fall OH tho water.
We pretended. too. that II you found
amy cabbage In Il. you could take your
dish back for a second helping. But
! never saw anybody get more thnn
ono dlshful. All Il was. was Just
spoiled water.
We tried to 90 10 sleep that night.
but there were 30 many sentrles
around us--and those Of u who were

ed: "Nichts xu essen" But we did
not know what that meant. so we Just
hung around there and waited. Then
they started shouting. "Zuruckl IN.
ruckl" and drove US back to the bar
racks.
Later we heard the words '.nichts
xu essenl" 80 often that we thought
probably they meant mo eats" We
had our reasons for thinking 90. too.
Those words. and "zuruck" and
"'raus." were practically all we did
hear. except. Of course. various kinds
Of schweinhunde.
1t was awful to see the men when
we got back to the barracks. Some Of
the boys from the Georgic. not much
over twelve years old. were almost
crazy. but even the older men were
crying. many Of them. It was nothing
but torture all the time. They opened
all the windows and doors In the bar
racks. and then we could not heat the
room with our bodies. When we start.
ed to move around. to keep warm. they
fred . few shots at us. I do not
know whether they hit anyone or not /:
we had got 80 that We did not pay any
attention to things like that. But It
stopped US. and we had to stand still.
The Huns thought we would take the
rifles from the sentries and use them.
too.
I never saw a yellower bunch Of
people In my life. I do not mean peo-
pie. I wish I could publish what I
really mean.
We had stoves in the barracks, but
no coal or wood to burn. There were
many boxes piled up there. but they
belonged to the Germans. We would
have burned them II we could. but
the Germans made us carry them
across the road. They weighed about
$50 pounds apiece. and we were so
weak that 1t was all two men could do
to bulge them. And we had to carry
them; they would not let us roll them.
We were 80 cold and hungry that even
that exercise did not warm Us.
About $50 the whistle blew again.
and the Huns picked out q few men
and took them down the road. We
could not figure out why. but they
came back about three O'Clock, all Of
them with bread In their arms. They
were chewing away on It when they
had chance. Whenever the sentries
were not looking they would bite at It
like fish going after q worm. Each
man carried i've lOaves.
When they got in the barracks the
sentries made them put the bread
down on the floor. and then. with
their bayonets. the sentries cut each
loaf once down the center lengthwise

think a man Of ~ really slept. After
q while I asked a sentry II I could 60
outside for a minute, but for some rea-
son he would not let me. had DIFF
ferent ideas about It. 20 stood
around near the door. and when he
turned his back out went and around
the corner Of the barracks.
But one Of the sentries there saw
me and blew his whistle, and q guard
Of eight came up from somewhere and
grabbed me. I tried to explain. but It
was no use. because every time said
word It meant another swat over
the ear. so finally gave 1t up.
Then they drilled me across the
road to the oficers' quarters. There
were three onicers there, and each Of
them asked mo questions about all
kinds Of things. but never once men
toned my running out Of the bar
racks. Then they gave the sentries
some commands, and four Of the SEN
tries took me out and over to the
barbed wire fence. There they tied
me. face to the fence. arms over my
head. and hands and feet lashed to
the wire. and with q rope around my
waist. too. I thought, then, that my
hunch had come true. and that
would be crucined, like AuEfay and
Brown.
They posted . sentry there in addi-
don to the regular guards. and every
time he walked past me he would kick
me or spit on me, or do both.
One time he kicked me 20 hard
that q prong Of the barbed wire
gashed me over the left eys-the only
one I can zee with-and when the
blood ran into my eye It blinded me.
! thought both eyes were gone then.
and hoped they would shoot me. It
seemed to me that I had got my share
BY this time without losing the other
eye. and II It was gone. I wanted to
60 too.
I could not put up my hand to feel
where the prong had jabbed me. and
1t kept on bleeding and smarting. I
had on practically no clothing, you re-
member. The wounds In my thigh had
opened. and II was bitter cold and
windy. 80 you can picture to your.
self how gay and carefree was.
When had been there for an hour
and q half they united me from the
wire. and I keeled over on my back.
They kicked me until I had to stand
up. but fell down again, and all the
kicking In Germany could not have
brought me to my feet. I was Just all
in. So they blew their whistles and
the sentries In the barracks awakened
two of the boys, who came and carried
mo In.
All the time the ssntries were yell.

"schweinhund!" until you would have

their idea was do not know.

washed the cash and bandaged It.

D'ANNUNZIO WILL
LEAVE FIUME IF
US. ADOPTS PLAN

WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.-That Ga
brie1e d'Annunzio, the Italian poet
soldier, is ready to evacuate Fiume
if the United States accepts Italian
Foreign Minister Tittoni's compro-
mise offer for the solution of the
Fiume question, was the statement
here today at the Italian embassy.
"The national city council of
Fiume, which supports d'AnnunZio.
gave it's word to the Italian govern
ment that if President Wilson would
accept Tittonis solution the council.
lors would go to d'Annunzio and ask
him to leave the city," it was said
by an official of the embassy.
"This practically meant assurance
that d'Annunzio would accept Tit
toni's solution and leave, as the
council and dAnnunzio are in &C.
cord"
The Tittoni solution, it was stated,
provided for the acceptance of a
buffer state as proposed by Pres
ident Wilson with notifications. The
notifications assigned to Italy
strip of territory on the eastern
shore of Istria, which would give
Italy possession of Volosca. Fiume
would be created a free city in the
buffer state, which would be con
trolIed by the League of Nations.
Control of the harbor would be by a
joint commission appointed by the
league.
unless the United States agrees
to this latest solution, Italy will
keep Fiume" 1t was stated.

COTTON MEETING
TO BE HELD IN
MACON NOV. 10

A great statewide meeting over
which Governor Dorsey has been
asked to preside will be held ins the
auditorium in the city of Macon on
Wednesday, November 10, at 10
o'clock a. M, by the Georgia division
of the American Cotton association,
for the purpose of launching an in
tensive campaign to enroll individual
members.
Invitations will include farmers,
merchants, bankers, warehousemen
and others who are directly or in
directly interested in the prosperity
of the agricultural interests of the
state, and it is expected that the
attendance will run to 1000 Or more.
J. S. Wannamaker, president of
the American Cotton association,
probably will be one of the speak
ers. For the past several months he
has been devoting his entire time to
a study of world conditions affecting
cotton. He was the spokesman fol-
the growers at the recent World
Cotton Conference held in New Or
leans. He is one Of the largest grow-
ers in the south, is thoroughly IA
miliar with conditions in the domes-
tic and foreign markets, and will
have a message of vital interest to
every farmer in Georgia.
Another prominent speaker will be
A. f. Lever, former South Carolina
congressman, who recently resigned
from the national house of repre-
sentatives to go into the administra-
tive branch of the federal farm loan
system. Mr.. Lever has been a leader
in agricultural legislation in congress
for years. He is the author of the
Lever food and fuel control bill, and
one of the authors of the Smith
Lever act for farm extension work.
Other speakers will be j. B. Can
non, South Carolina banker, who has
done remarkable work in the organ1-
zation of the South Carolina division
of the American Cotton association
Thomas J. Shackleford, Athens law
yer and cotton grower, who is on
the board of the American Cotton as
ISOLATION and has devoted the past
two months to organization work; ]
J. Brown, commissioner of agricul-
ture of Georgia.; Harvie Jordan, who
is in charge of national headquar-
tiers in Atlanta; T. S. Johnson,i who
Operates at Jefferson in Jackson
county one of the largest farmers
warehouses in the south.

MEETING
OF METHODISTS
OPENS THIS WEEK

Many unique features will charac-
trize the tifty-third annual session Of
the north Georgia conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church, south,
which opens Wednesday at Wesley
Memorial church in Atlanta and
which extends through the follow
ing Monday afternoon, when the 1920
ministerial appointments will be an
nounced
For the first time in the history
of the conference women wi attend
as lay delegates and will have a
voice in the conference.
For the first time in the history of
the body, the conference will hold
two consecutive meetings in the same
city, at the same church, and will be
presided over by the same bishop
Bishop Warren A. Gambler.
Marking as it does the most siren
uous and busy year ever known in
the north Georgia conference, due to
the great centenary campaign so
successfully completed by the south
ern Methodists in the early part of
the year and in which the north Geor-
gia conference played so conspicuous
a part, the 1919 north Georgia con-
ference brings TO a close what is I'M
doubtedly the most fruitful year in
the history of Georgia Methodism.
No announced program has been
drawn but 1t seemed to be we'll
defined opinion that one of the alb
sorbing topics at the conference will
be the question of unif1cation. This
will be only in the form of an ex-
preston ofS sentiment, as the north
Georgia conference has no legal
power to decide the question one way
or the other. Any sentiment ex-
pressed will be for the information
aid guidance of the unifcation COM
missioners.
The southern branch of Methodism
has contended all along for local
elf-government in conferences, the
protection of minority rights and for
an Independent and separate church
for negro membership. Resolutions
have been passed in large numbers
urging that the members of the
southern Methodist churc' ref'~n to
conside. and agree to any kind of
unification that does not specifically
stipulate and agree to the foregoing
principles.

HOLLANDREGARDS
IMMUNE
FROMEXTRADITION

THE HAGUE, Nov. 10.-Former
Emperor William came to Holland a
year ago today. Since that line there
has been no demand, officially or I'M
officially, for his eXtradition or de-
livery up to the allies, nor has Ilol-
land at all changed it's viewpoint to-
ward him.
The Associated Press has learned
this from sources that are unques-
tionable. Hollands viewpoint as re-
CARDS William Hohenzollern may be
stated frankly as follows;
The Netherlands, which for CEN
turtles has accorded political refuge
to ALL considers the former emperor
and crown prince as refugees--not
as royalty, but as persons entitled to
the same rights as any plain Johann
Schmidt who fed to Holland during
the war. This principle is so strongly
held by the government and also by
the press of Holland that nothing is
likely to change it, it is asserted.
The Dutch government has reach
ed a determination as to its conduct
in the event the surrender of Will
liam Hohenzollern is asked for. No
OlllCldl SLdLSlllSuC LIDS DSSl llldu0 III
this connection, but the Associated
Press learns that Holland considers
the former emperor beyond extradi-
ton, as there is no possible way le-
gally to hold him as a criminal. If
they desired to insist on the privi-
lege, both the Hohenzollerns would
be free to go where they liked, as
they are in no sense prisoners. How
ever, because they feel that they
would embarrass Holland even fur
Their they apparently have agreed to
remain where they now are-the ia
Their at Amerongen and his son at
Wieringen.
If the one-time emperor and crown
prince desired to return to Germany,
they would be permitted to go. While
lit is possible that Frederick William
some day may return to Germany,
official circles in The Hague are In
clined to tn belief that William
Hohenzollern is content to settle
down to the life of a country gen.
tleman Doom, where he has been
permitted to buy small estate be-
cause his long stay at Amerongen
seemed unfair to Count Won Ben
| timex, whose castle he occupies.
