(L~OSSIBLY So" replied the leader,
but your sudden disappearance
from the town where his High
ness was confined will connect you with the
escape, consequently you cannot return as
you did before"
But | do not believe they clever

least. | can go over in a different disguise
and try it,
While this conversation was taking place,
Prince Joachim had left the room, but he
came in again and when he learned what it
was all about he said to the leader:
"Meyer, do not want my friend here
to take any more risks. l am under life
long obligation to him and l desire the op-
portunity to repay the debt
"There is no danger insisted the Ma
jor, 81 want just one more try at them,
anyway and then l will be content to go
with you. l can take good care of my
self1' And so it was finally decided that
the ajor should have his one more chance.
The Major decided to return this time in
the guse of an enlisted man. The cross
ing, of course, had to be made secretly. Ar
engagements were made by Meyer for q
frindy Spaniard to act as guide. When a
good night came-that is very bad night
as to weather-Anderson set out for the
boundary with this Spaniard. 1t was rain
ing torrents and was so dark that it
impossible for the men to kepe sight of each
other The mountain trail was soon turned
into a raging brook. Slipping and sliding
around in the darkness, most of the time
with the water up t other knees, and in
imminent danger of falling down the side of
the mountains, the pair finally made the
crossing and when daylight came the Ma
jor once more stood on French soil. Hiding
by day and travelling freight trains by
right, he finally succeeded in reaching
Paris and there, escaping the notice of the
military police, he made his way to the hotel
where the others were awaiting him.
Appearing at the rendezvous, the Major
was greeted with great acclaim, for his
friends were beginning to worry for fear
that something had gone wrong. He gave
them a detailed explanation of the situa-
ton it had shaped itself since he had so

While the Major had every reason to be-
ieve that this woman was telling the truth,
still he would not allow her story to in
fluence him in any way, so he said:
81 know you really mean what you say,
but my story rs as l have told it. / am an
escaped American criminal with a large
price on my head because l have always
wanted to help Germany, nor can l ever
return to my home American friends
again. If Germany should lose this war,
the Americans, if they could find u.s. would
demand that we be turned over to them for
punishment, and believe the Germans will
do as you say and kill us if they can after
we have given them all the information we
have, but that is chance we will have to
take. However, with you to help US, l do
not IVORY about the outcome
From now on, be the results what they
may" replied the girl, 1--WE work for your
safety. Tomorrow I will report to my chief
that you are what you claim to be-
True to her promise, on the following
day this woman reported in favor of the
two Americans. But she further suggested
that she be allowed to remain on the case
to watch them. So her chief told her to GO
ahead and keep an eye on them Thus, this
woman was able to keep the Major posted

Meeting General Won Hindenburg
On the same afternoon when this friend
made her report, Captain Schmidt came to
the hotel and said: Tomorrow you will go
with me to the German headquarters There

ness and will be expected to give all the in
formation he has regarding the enemy's ac-
tivities, while the Captain will be turned

information about the motor / will be here
GERS go to bed early, he departed.
This was an unlooked-for event, for at no
time had the thought occurred to either the
Major or the Captain that they would be
separated. Consequently, no arrangements
had been made to cover such an eventuality,
German authorities the truth, and only the
truth as to the American army in France
That was great protection against being
found out under any circumstances, and in
this case the truth was all that thew could

after this information was secured they
would be quietly killed, though they had
saved the life of one of the royal family,
unless they rescued themselves. Not very
pleasant outlook for two men who two
years before had been peacefully vending
civilian ways in America. Is it any wonder
there were moments when they questioned
whether any success was worth the risks
they were taking?-for life was the least
they stood to lose. They must stand as
traitors, no more, no less, to their own peo-
pie as to the Germans, if they were found
out and shot; of necessity the American
Chief must admit their disgrace as well as
their deaths. 81 only hope my family will
never know just how 1 went west" said
Captain Elwood, 'for 1 would not wish my
wife and children to think of husband and
father as a traitor to his country But
that was side of the case that did not bear
talking about and was rarely alluded to.
Prince Joachim seemed truly glad to see
them and told them that he himself would
soon join them at the headquarters. Wish
ing them good luck and pleasant journey,
he turned to the German captain and said:
Captain, 1 shall hold you personally re-
sponsble for the safety of these two Off
GERS. You yourself will not offer them an
insult or allow anyone else to do so while
they are in your charge"
The Americans never saw or heard any
thing more of Prince Joachim, till the pa
pers told of his suicide after the war.
Neither the officers who arrested him nor
the ones who liberated him will ever admit
that that suicide was a coward. They had
seen his manhood put to the test. He was
a unique hero among modern royalties, and
his courtesy and fair mindedness made him
singular among Germans.
The Trip to the German Headquarters
Returning to their room, the officers
quickly finished packing their bags and
when Schmidt came for them they were
ready to start on what they hoped would be
the last stage of their dangerous journey.
Arriving at the railroad station, they
found that arrangements had been made
for them to travel in a private compartment
and Captain Schmidt at once gave orders
that under no circumstances were they to
leave it without him, and that no one was to
be admitted unless he himself came also.

Major wondered just how much the Prince
really believed of what he said)
Arriving at the German Barracks the
three were turned over to the non-com-
missioned officer on duty at the gate, who
piloted them to the office of the general.
The Prince instructed the two Americans
to remain in the outer room while he went
in and explained the situation. They had
hardly seated themselves when several Ger
man officers entered. One who spoke Eng
lish approached and asked if they were
prisoners of war.
NO. replied the Major. eve are free
and attached to the German intelligence
staff in Spain. We were formerly in the
American Army, but our sympathies are
all with Germany we deserted as soon as
we could after our arrival in France"
ooh, understand" said the officer.
"You are traitors!v' Saying which he
turned and addressing his companions in
German:
""These are two American Pigs that have
sold out their fellow countrymen for
money! 1t is just as l have always said:
You can buy the Americans any time for
gold. They are like Judas of old, no honor!
no bravery! but always chasing the dollar!!
Bah!!! we do not need to fear the Yankee
Army: they won't fight!'
The Major, understanding all that was
said, promised himself that if the chance
ever came, he would make at least one
German officer pay dearly for that insult.
Prince Joachim came back shortly, and
ushering the Americans into the Generals
office he introduced them, and pointing to
Major Anderson-'If it had not been for
the courage and resourcefulness of this
man," he said II would now be rotting in
France"
Germany owes you debt that all hon.
orable Germans will try and repay" said
the General, shaking hands. Until you
can be sent forward to the High Command,
you will have to remain here and to protect
you from annoyance l will detail one of my
staff who speaks your language to take care
of you" Pressing button, an orderly ap-
peared and the general ordered him to go
and find Captain Schmidt and tell him to
report to him at once, and turning to the
Prince began to converse with him in Ger
man.

500 GIRLS SHIPPED
IN WHITE SLAVE PLOT
U. S. immigration Officials Hunt
Gang Leader in Berlin, Said to
Have Been War Spy.

BY the Associated Press. y
BRUSSELS, November IA dis
covery of a vast white slave enter
prise, through which more than 500
girls are reported to have been ship
ped to the United States, has led to
the increased vigilance Of the Ameri-
can immigration authorities, whose
representatives in Antwerp, the Bel
gian police say, have definite proof
of the affair. The principal in the
plot named Brown, was president of
a girls protection society In Berlin.
who sent the girls via Antwerp, Ham,
burg and Rotterdam to the United
States, where they fell into the hands
of his confederates.
When the traffic was discovered as
the result of numerous complaints,
Brown fled from Germany, The Bel
gian authorities regard as curious
the fact that they have received no
request for Browns arrest from the
German authorities. They suggest
that this is perhaps due to the fact
that during the war Brown was re-
ported to have been one of the most
active members of the German es-
pionage system and the Germans are
afraid that were he arrested in Bel
glum he would make startling reVela-
tions regarding the wartime activ-
tiles of German spies.
