as it was better to be on the safe
 side. Rifle shots were fired in our
 direction, but so far as I could see
 they were random shots. and the Germans did not appear to have
 got on the track of the two sailors yet
 I found that the men were Seaman Robert Duncan and Petty Officer Mellor. Their task had been to re-
 main on board the 'Vindictive'' to the last, and then to get away the
 best they could. There was no ques- ton of getting off in the boats with the rest of the men, but they had to take their chance of reaching the shore and making their escape either before or after falling into enemy
 hands. Both men had been in the habit of doing observation work
 ashore, and were remarkably skilled in noting essentials.
 They had learned all that they wanted to know about the position of the ''Vindictive" between the piers and they were also anxious to con- firm this by waiting on shore until they found whether the Germans could succeed in dislodging the boat from where she lay. All this and more I found out afterwards, but my immediate concern was to get | the two men to a safe place. I hur- ried them through the garden into | the house, and they were hidden in | the cellar.
 Fortunately the Germans did not suspect the presence of the men there | even if they were aware of the fact | that they had got ashore, and for two days we kept them in hiding. 1 On the third day we fitted them up l as Be1gians, both men being able to | speak French and Flemish well 1 enough to enable them to pass as | Flemish when speaking French, and l Belgian when speaking Flemish. They
 were dressed as BeIgians of the la
 boring class, and they went to seek 1 employment with the squads who
 were sent down to repair the quay
 walls damaged in the fighting. l Cool and Calm.
 These two men remained at work l long enough to find out that the | Germans had failed in their efforts
 to shift the wreck of the ''vindic- l tfve'', and that the passage was 1 closed to all but very light craft. They also learned from overhearing con- 1 versations of the German naval of l f1cers that Zeebrugge was then use | less as submarine base, and that the Germans would very soon have to let go their hold on the Belgian coast if they could not use it again for this purpose.
 was lost in admiration for the cool way in which these men put their heads into the lions den. 1 never expected them to come out
 unbitten, but they did.
 When they returned, they an. | nounced their intention of making
 their way along the coast to Dun

 The work Of getting escaped pris- eners through the German lines was Aot always 50 dfdiealt as one might Aaagine. and not even attended with sacA risks as I have described in previous articles. In spite of the zagers Of the German occupation. movements In Belgium and France were comparatively easy because of eAe wholehearted good will of the people and their readiness to co-op- crate with fugitives in evading the Eerznans.
 The real danger lay in attempting 10 cross the enemy lines at the points where every foot of soil was covered by trenches and manned by sroops Reenly alert for the slightest movement Had 1t been necessary For Us Co get prisoners past these points 1t could, not have been on anything Ike the scale on which we worked successfully, and the loss lof life would have been much heav- der than 1t was. Fortunately we Swere not obliged to take this risk, 3of we had two subterranean roads ny which we could pass escaped prisoners under the German lines, sAGad even on occasions these were leased for passing spies.
 One or these underground roads -was in the Argonne. I knew little sahout 1t, for I never had occasion eseo use 1t, but have seen at Belgian headquarters since the armistice a EDaan of the passage, and have seen Eaomcial testimony to its existence and Eyalua.
 The secret roadway with which I d EIiIle, Access to this was gained by Exneans of . mine shaft sunk some ESaEh< miles to the northwest of Lille, Eand then we passed along coal EEUrkings for about two miles, when ]. we reached other workings, through which one passed to a point just outside Lens, which was near enough 10 the British lines to make 1t safe ito use Later, when the British cap tursd thIs pithead or slag heap, the exit from the mines was within the British Hnes and our task became correspondingIy easier.
 The secret of this underground d passage was first revealed to me by MT. Jourdatn the Belgian Inspector of Mines He told me that the exist ence of the connecting gallery giv- ing access to the Lens coal fields was known only to a very few people, and could hardly be known to the Ger mans He produced plans of the workings, which he had explored himself during the period following on a big colliery disaster there in 1s11-
 We made our first descent not by the main shaft in the Lille region, which was closely guarded by the Germans, but by an abandoned shaft

One of the strongest testimonial and one that will stand the strfctest and most thorough fr1vest igation is fzaS signed statement of MT. Joy, an old and trusted ea1lploye of the Brit fsh. American Co. In conversation with MT, Joy, he told the writer that his condition was such that he thought he would never be & well man again and he owed his good health today to CINOT. MT. Joys statement reads as follows:
 ~I have for 10 years suffered from stomach trouble of the worst kind, My physicians told me it was from night work and cold lunches, I would suffef agonSeS after meals, would xornit np pus and yellow bile. My stomach 5Nas sore to the touch and was hard and b1oated. was losing weight fast and could retain nothing on nay stomach. and was told that had one relief left, and that was to sazbrait to dangerous operation, and was getting ready to do the , same when I noticed an advertise zasn4 about CTNOT. have taken but two bottles and the difference has been marvellous, I retain what I eat.

"WET' PLANK SURE
SAYS MIR. EDWARDS
Governor Declares Bryan is Man
without a State"

Atlantic City, N. j., Feb. 22.-Gov-
ernor Edwards of New Jersey an
nounccd heer today his intention of
going to the National Democratic Con-
vention for an anti-prohibition plank
in the party platform. He criticized
William Jennings Bryan, whom he de-
signed a man without State" and
declared that he had no fear that Mr..
Bryan will seriously injure the party
should the convention take an anti
prohibition stand. Governor Edwards
said he was convinced that both par
ties must face the prohibition issue as
the livcst that will become before the
national conventions.
II don't care who is the party's can
didate," said the Governor, "my only
concern is to see this question of ma
tional prohibition thrcshed out. 1t
is not a matter of liquor, it's a oucs-
tion of principle. Personal liberty and
State rights are involved"
