Goes Back to Germany.

The general arrived at Chalons. Some
Frenchmen had already offered to help
him get over into the unoccupied zone,
when he suddenly learned that at the
military frontier which cuts France in
two like knife in the heart, at the
famous line of demarcation between the
occupied and unoccupied zones. the Ger
mans were Systematically stopping and
OBTAINING every man who was over feet
tall. They had not given up hope of
apprehending the fugitive in the starred
great coat of general. Giraud retraced
his steps and went back to Germany.
From there he made his way toward
Switzerland. There was 10 longer any
question of taking trains, or travelling by
ordinary routes. He had to get over the
frontier like an outlaw.
Accompanied by his faithful Alsatian
guide, Francis, and also conducted over
a part of the climb by mountaineer
friend. The general crossed over the
mountains. Their guide left them at last
in a cabin near the frontier, where for
eight hours Giraud and Francis re-
manned hidden, while German patrols
passed to and fro constantly.
AS nightfall approached two Na1
guards passed close by the cabin One
of them stopped to light his pipe, saying
to his companion as he did so; Come
on, let's go and eat. Well come back
and take over the watch by and by"
From their hiding place the fugitives
heard him. They knew then that for
a few minutes the road at this point
would be unguarded. They rushed out.
Giraud, limping, gritting his teeth and,
making a superhuman effort, summoned
all his will power, which had never yet
betrayed him. Two hours later they
were in Switzerland, exhausted, but
safe. The long adventure was ended.
According to the carefully laid plans

They did not dispute Girauds orders,
however. Soon, on March 27. came an
answer from France: The guide will be
waiting for you at l o'clock in the after
noon on the 18th, on the railroad bridge
at Schandau. S miles from Koenigstein."
1t was impossible for the general to
travel from Koenigstein to Schandau in
broad daylight, in his French uniform.
EoWever, he had a waterproof coat
which could pass for civilian garment,
and he also had pair of trousers. And

The Gestapo agents moved toward the

to them. and chatting earnestly with
the young officer. At the last moment
Giraud raised his head and knitted his
eyebrows, as If in annoyance at being
interrupted while he was expoundifig on
Rommel's brilliant victory. The little
lieutenant, angry, tco, at the Interrupt
ton, cast a threatening glance at the
officers and waved them away. The
plain clothes men hesitated moment
glanced at the lieutenants decorations,
then finally bowed and took them
selves Off
Thus, borne on the enchanted carpet
of chance, Giraud finally approached
France.

He began also to consider the ques-

BY selling some of the food which his
wife had sent to him he acquired 800

escape from the citadel and 12 hours to

general would have by plane and by au-

rope from the cord used to tie the food

him three months, working at night, to
