W were of the opinion at first thnt this was only a temporary condition, but after a few days wo saw a laughter bordering on Insanity under taken agala and again, ny night and day It was always the same. Using Verdun as their base, the French con stantly brought up now masses of troops. They had marshaled their heavy guns from the nearer Verdun forts by the use of field railways. In the spring of 1015 both sides be gan an offensive of local, but of an In comprehensible, murderous nature German and French artillery bombard ed Vauquols so that not a square foot of land could be found which had not been torn up by shells. Thousands and thousands of shells, large and small, were hurled Into the town for three days' and tlirco nights. This continued until not a single sol dier was left In tho village, for both French and Germans had to retire from this fire from both sides, as It was absolutely Impossible to have sur vived this hell. The entire hill and ad Joining heights were enveloped In smoke. On tho evening of the third day the enemy bombardment abated somewhat and we were once more sent Into tho pile of debris, which had been torn by a hundred thousand shells. It was not yet dusk, and as tho French had also advanced an attack developed. They came Into our lines with strong reserve units and the wildest kind of a band-to-hand encounter ensued. Sharp daggers flew from head to head, breast to breast. Men stood on corpses in order to make new corpses. New enemies continued to arrive. JFor each man who was killed three others appeared. We also received re-enforcements, thus permitting the slaughter to con tinue. Each man fought frenxledty, expect ing his death blow momentarily. No life was worth a penny. Each man fought like a beast. I stumbled and fell upon the stones and In less time than Is required to re late it I saw before me a giant French man with a pioneer's spado raised to strike a blow. With llghtnlngllke speed I dodged and the spade struck a stone. In the next moment 'my adversary had a dagger plunged to the hilt In his abjjomen. If He went down with a terrible cry and crumpled up In agony on the ground. I thrust tho dagger Into my .boot and seised the spade. There 'were new enemies all around and the spade came In handy. I struck an enemy between the head and shoulders. The sharp spade en tered his body and burled Itself half way In. I heard the bones crack under the force of the blow. Another adversary was nearby and I dropped the spade and seized the dagger. He struck me with his fist and the blood ran from my inouth and nose. We clenched. My dagger was In my right hand. Each of us held the other around the breast, no was not superior to roe In strength yet ho clung to me as tightly as I did to him. We tried to reach each other with our teeth. I still held the dagger but was unable to strike. goon one of us would have to let go. While I was trying my best to find a way to kill htm there was a terrible explosion nearby. I saw my opponent fall and I my self felt a terrible pain In the right side of my lower Jaw. I ran as quickly as I could to the rear and after a search of several hours found a dressing station, where I was bandaged. My faco was so swollen that the doc tor could not tell whether or not my Jaw had bocn broken. I was placed on a train for wounded men, bound for Germany, and was taken to n honpltnl In Pusselrtnrf.

My wound was not dangerous and they expected I would bo cured In 14 days. Yet It required three weeks. During this time I made up my mind firmly that I would not murder any mora people at the order of and to further the Interests of Uohensollern Ism, that this war would mean the end of the Hohcnrollerns and of Prussian militarism. I decided to dessrt to Hol land. CHAPTER XVIII. I prevailed upon the authorities re grant me an eight-day furlough to visit my home and I took advantage of this to cross the Dutch border. I left my home under a pretence of Intending to visit relatives, wearing clvlllnn cloth Ing. I bought a railroad ticket to Kal denklrchen, a medium-sized town near the Dutch border. During my trip to Kaldenklrchen I had plenty of time to review all that had happened. How different everything was after the first yenr of the war I My home town, once a lively country settlement, was now as calm as a graveyard. In this town, which had a population bo fore the war of 3,000 souls, more than 40 had been killed and many others crippled. Food was very high with lit tle to be had. There was no enthusiasm for the war manifest anywhere. Tho pcoplo were downhearted, stunned. It was the same In other cities. Tho longing for peace was universal yet no one talked of peace or expressed the desire for It. One word spoken, which displeased the autocratic government, merited tho severest punishment. That Is how It Is to be explained that the German peo ple cannot force the Ilohenzollcrns Into peace because the government, with assistance of the military, smothered every expression of peace with blood, even at that early date. The present Prussian government will slaughter any German citizen to further Its own Interests In the same way that It attacked the Innocent pop ulation of Belgium without regnrd. With a clean conscience and clean bands! "Gott strafe England. Er 1st strafe esl" Going through the streets this was heard right and left as a comment nud a reply. To me, fresh from the front, this kind of greeting was unknown. Presently I learned the reason of this modern form of salutation. Tho hatred within the German nation was not so great toward France and Ilus sl'o. The people quietly accepted the enor mous sacrifices which the wnr demand ed from them In course of time. Hut tho government, which even then, foresaw the unfavorable couno the war was taking, conceived the Idea of setting England up as tho arch enemy which Intended to destroy Ger many entirely. The German war machine rande use of the blockade which England drew around Germany to such on extent, ploying upon child murder, so-called, that the people developed an ever-Increasing hatred toward England. Tho French language was no longer spoken anywhere. A large part of the German people formerly used the French word "adieu," as a farewell ex pression but that was stopped. Care had to be taken In the use of this word to avoid arrest on a charge of high treason. I thought about these things as I neared my temporary destination. I was sufficiently acquainted with the border so that when I arrived In Kal denklrchen I was able to reach It with out asking any questions. The spot which I had selected for crossing lay In a forest After a march of two hours I arrived near the border. It was soon dark and I decided to remain In the woods over night The next morning at daylight I ven tured on and without being seen by the tnnrin I crossed Into Dutch territory. rtfWfc'ar' OTHER BUILDINGS OTHER BUILDINGS VALUE ABOUT $2,000,000 FIRE LOSS IN FIVE YEARS OVER $100,000 BRICK & LUMBER CO.

With" a BfglTor relief I arrived at the next town, Ven , In Holland. Everywhere I was received In a friendly manner. I observed that the Dutch people hated the German people as much as I did. After passing several months In Holland, where tens of thousands more German deserters lived, I mado up my mind to move farther away than that from Germany for the arms of the Ger man government are long and Its spies are everywhere In most cases con scienceless criminals. Some of my Dutch friends made roe acquainted with sailors and these con sented to smugglo mo to America on their ship. When the ship deported I was placed In the coal bunkers and ar rived after 14 days In New York, safe and well. The first thing that struck me on ar riving In the United States wns the wide latitude permitted German propa ganda. Most of the German papers pub lished here were body and soul for the kaiser and tried dally to Justify the German fight for the German cause. In this respect tho government In Washington certainly went too for un til It was realized that no concessions could be made to the Prussian govern ment and that concession tnado to Washington were nothing hut deceitful talk, sustained only by action when It served Its Interests of Imperialism. The promises which the German gov ernment made to Washington concern ing the Lusllonln cose, the U-boat war fare and so forth, were nothing but de celt on the part of tho Berlin govern ment It wns tho desire to preserve pence for tho American people which Im pelled President Wilson, again and again, not to declaro war nnd If Amer ica fights today It has only kept faith with Its democratic principles nnd as sisted the world In defensive war agalust the nutocracy that Is a constant menace for the world, which prepared for this war over several decades. With tho entrance of America Into the war the backbone of Prussian mili tarism will be broken. The Hlnden burgs and the Hohenzollerns are doomed. A victory for the allies will be a victory for democracy and a vic tory of the greatest majority seeking the welfare of the human race. (TnK END.) TOOK OUT DREADFUL BORENES.H.
