commanders satisfaction.
HIS sentence later was COM

most barbarous Japanese torturcS
wcrc inflicted.

fEEFS WITH 7 OTHERS
Smith finally was shifted to the
Ward Road municipal Jail where
he remained for 1S months. On
oct. &. 1914, ne and seven other
prisoners scaled the prison wall
and escaped. Five of the men
were recaptured, including Cmdr.
Winfield Scott Cunningham, COM
mander of the Wake Island garrl-
son. but Smith made his way
safely into the Chinese lines.
Smith revealed that the navy
had commissioned him com
mander while he was in the Ward
Road prison, and that's where his
troubles with Washington began.
WIFE TOLD HE'S DEAD
Immediately after his escape, a
plane was flown 10 Nanchang to
rush him back 10 Chungking and
thence To Washington, where he
was asked 10 take on highly inn
poriant mission.
He agreed to return TO China
and even submitted to having the
navy inform his wife-now living
in New York City-that he had
been killed while trying TO escape
from the Japanese.
His wife learned only three
weeks ago that he still was alive.
Smith made five trips into oc-
cupied China TO gather informa-
ton wanted by the navy for the
planned landing on the China
coast.
Today, his mission aborted by
the japanese surrender. Smith
was a bitter man.
CAN'T GET PAY
His commission. the navy con-
tends. did not become effective
because he never signed an ac-
ceptance note, and therefore he
cannot collect back pay for that
rank.
Smith pointed out that he was
not in a good position to notify
Washington of his acceptance,
being in prison at the time and
officially dead afterward.
But I'll AK that" he prom
iSed. "Tve instructed my wife
TO file claim for my $4,000 war
insurance. She might he able
TO collect, since the navy still
lists me as dead.
Incidentally, lt seems they
have quite problem to bring
me officially back TO life"
