Some of tho boys from tho Gcorglc, not much over twelve years old, wcro nliuost crazy, but oven tho older men wero crying, many of them. It was nothing but torture all the time. They opened all tho windows nnd doors In the bar racks, and then we could not heat tho room with our bodies. When we start ed to move around, to keep warm, they fired a few shots nt us. I do not know whether they lilt anyone or not; we had got so that we did not pay any attention to things like that. But it stopped ns, and wo had to stand still. Tho Huns thought we would tako tho rifles from the sentries and uso them, too. I sever saw a yellower bunch of people in my life. I do not mean peo ple. I wish I could publish what I really mean. Wo had stoves In tho barracks, but no coal or wood to burn. Thcro wero many boxes piled up there, but they belonged to the Germans. Wo would have burned them If wo could, but tho Germans made us carry them across the road. They weighed about ISO pounds apiece, and wo were so weak thnt It was all two men could do. to budge them. And wo had to carry them; they would not let us roll them. We were so cold nnd hungry thnt even that exercise did not warm us. About 2:30 the whistle blew again, and the Huns picked out a few men and took them down the road. Wo could not figure out why, but they came back about three o'clock, all of them with bread in their arms. They wero chewing away on it when they had a chance. Whenever the sentries wero not looking they would blto at It like a fish going after a worm. Each man carried five loaves. When they got In tho barracks tho sentries mado them put the bread down on tho floor, and then, with their bayonets, the sentries cut each loaf once down the center lengthwise and four times across, which meant ten men to a loaf about the size of an ordinary ten-cent loaf in this country now. They gave each of us a piece a little larger than a safety-match box. They Tied Me, Face to tho Fence., "Tho bread was hard and dark, nnd I really think they mado it fronj trees. It bad Just exactly the same smell that tho dirt around trees has. We filed past the sentries single fllo to get our ration of this mud, and there was no chance of getting in line twice, for we had to kicp on filing until wo wero out In the road, and stand there in tho snow to oat it. Wo could not go back In tho burrocks un til cvory man had been served. Our .meals wero llko this: A can of barley coffee hi the morning; cabbaqo ill OTHER BUILDINGS BRICK & LUMBER CO. Boup, bo called, at noon ; a, tenth ot a loaf ot bread at D p. m. That was our menu dayi in nnd dny out, tho kaiser's birthday, Lincoln's, 'May day, or nny Other time. This cabbago soup was n great Idea. Wo called it shadow soup, because tho boys ctalmcd they mado It by hanging n cablmgo over n barrel of water nnd letting tho shadow fall un thu water. Wo pretended, top, that IC you found nny cabbago In It, youtould tnko your dish back furn tuicond helping. But I never saw anybody get more than ono dishful. All It was, was Just spoiled water. Wo tried to go to sleep thnt night, but thcro wcro so -uiuuy sentries around us nnd those of Us who wero not sick wero wounded that I do not think n inniwof us really slept. After n while 1 asked u sentry If 1 could go outside for n minute, but for some rea son he would not let me. I hud dif ferent Ideas about It, so I stood around near 'the door, nnd "when ha turned his back out I went nnd around tho corner of tho barracks. But ono of tho sentries there saw mo nnd blow his whistle, .and a guard of eight came up from somewliero and grabbed me. I tried to explain, but It was no use, because every time I snld a word it meant another swat over tho car, so finally I gnve it up. Then they drAled ins across th roait to the officers' quarters. There wero threo ofllcers there, and each of them asked me questions about all kinds of things, but never once men tioned my running out of tho bar racks. Then they gnvo tho sentries somo commands, and four or tho sen tries took mo out nnd over to tho barbed wlro fence. Thcro they tied me, face to tho fence, arms over my head, and hands nnd feet lashed to tho wire, and with n ropu around my wnlst, too. I thought, then, that my hunch -had como true, and that I would bo crucified, llko Murray and Brown. They posted a senior there in addi tion to tho regular guards, and every time ho walked past mo ho would kick mo or spit on me, or do Itoth. Ono timo ho kicked mo so linrd that a prong of tho barbed wlro gashed me over the left eye tho only ono I can sea with uud when tho blood ran Into my eyo It blinded me. I thought both eyes wcro gono then, and I hoped they would shoot me. It seemed to me thnt IJiad got my ahnro by this tlnio without losing tho other eye, and if it was gone, I wanted to go too. I could not put up my hand to feel where tho prong had Jabbed me, and it kept on bleeding and smarting. I had on practically no clothing, you re member. Tho wounds In my thigh had opened, and it was bitter cold nnd windy. So you can picture to your self how gay and en re free I was. When I had been thcro for nn hour and a half they untied me from tho wire, and I keeled over on my back. They kicked mo until I hnd to stand up, but I fell down again, and all tho kicking In Germany could not havo brought inc to my feet. I was Just all In. So they blew their whistles and the sentries in tin barracks nwakened two of the boys, who came and carried' mo In. All tho time the sentries wero yell ing, "Gott strafe England I" and "schwelnhund I" until you would hnvo thought they were In a battle. What their idea was I do not know. Tho boys hnd n little water In n can, and one of them tore off part of tho sleovo of his undershirt. So thry I washed tho pish nnd bnndaged it. Believe me, I wits glad when I could seo again. I was ho tired and worn out that I went to Nlecp nt once, and did not wnko up until they wcro giv ing us our barley coffee next morn ing. CHAPTER XIX. German Prison Camps. A few days nfte-1 had been limbed to tho barbed wire fence some of tho Gcrmnn ofllcers came to tho barracks, and ono of them who spoke very good English suld: "All of tho neutrals who wcro on unarmed ships step out." Only a few stepped out. Then ho called for nil tho neutrals, and tho Danes, Swedes, Norwegians, Brazilians and Spaniards stepped out. But when I did, ho said, "No, not Americans. Americans nro not neu tral. America supplies our enemies with food and ammunition." Ho raised his fist, nnd I thought ho was going to hit me, but instead ho gave me a shove that caused me to fall nnd get a little cut on tho head. Then the sentries pushed mo over with tho British and the French. After that they took tho Norwegi ans, Swedes and Danes to separnto barracks, and gavo them clothes und beds and tho samo rations as tho Ger man soldiers. When I saw this I mado a .kick jml aaia Im-oh a neutral, fooTand ought to tet the samo treat ment as tho Scandinavians. They took tuo to tho ofllceru again, kicked mo nbout nnd sworo nt me, nnd tho only nnswor I got" was thnt America would suffer for nil sho had done for tho al lies. Then I wns'sonl buck to tho bar racks again. "Tho next day nt nbout ono o'clock they took us from tlm barracks nnd drilled us through the swamps. Tho men began to full ono by one, somo crying or swearing, but most of them going nlong without u word. Those who went down wero smashed In tho hend with rifle butts or bells. Finally wo arrived at n llttlo rail toad station, and-hud to stand In (ho snow for over mi hour while tho e Kino run up mul down tho tracks book ing on cars. When wo filially got In tho cars wo were frozen stiff. I could hardly walk, nnd some of tho' boys simply could not move without Intenso pain. , Thoy loaded twclvo men Into ench compartment, rind detailed n guard ot sis men to ench car. Tho windows In tho curs wero nil smashed, and every thing about tho cars wan dirty. Finally the train stopped nt'nitown named Alt-Dninm. nnd there was n mob of women nnd children around, as usual, ready for us with bricks and spit. They stoned us through tho car windows, nnd laughed nnd Jeered nt us, but by this time we wuro so used to It thnt wo did not mind much. Only, ircty now and then somo fellow would get all ho could stand, and either talk back or mako a pass at somebody. Then ho' would get Ida cither a bayonet through tho arm or leg, or a crash on tho head with a gun butt. After on eighteen hour ride, with out food or drink, wo arrived at Ncu strelltz. It was raining ns wo pulled In. An wo went up tho grado to tho town wo could scu lights nbout a mile away, and wo figured Unit. Unit wan tho camp. The rnln stopped and wo rcmnlncil in tho cars for some time. Then, after n while, wo know our now gunrds wero coming; long before wo could bco them, wo could hear tho racket they made. Somehow a Ger man cannot do anything shlpshnpti and neatly, but always has to havo n lot of noise, nnd running around, nnd general confusion. Four-footed owlno nro more orderly in their habits than tho Huns. When they enmo up, wo wero roust ed from tho cars nnd drilled up tho road to tho camp. When wo got near tho German barracks wo were halted and counted ngnln, and made to stand thero for at least nn hour after they hnd finished counting us, shivering llko leaves. At last they placed us In barracks, and tbono who could went to sleep. Therti wcro about forty barracks In tho Limey group- at Ncustrclltz and two large Zeppelin sheds. The bar racks wero Just about llko those at Swlneraunde at least, tjiey wcro no better. Along tho sides of tho rooms wero long shelves or benches, nnd every three feet wero boards sot In grooves. Tho shrives Mere what wo had to sleep on, nnd the boards In tho grooves divided them up so that only n certain number of men. could use each bench. Tho following morning wo nearly dropped dend when the Huns pulled In n largo wagon full of clothing. Wo thought wo never would huvo any thing to wenr but our underclothes. They Issued to each mnn u pair of trntiKcrH, thin model, n thin cont nbout llko the seersucker coats somo pcoplo wear In the summer, nn over coat nbout ns. wnnn us If It had been mado of cigarette papers, u skull enp nnd n pnlr of shoes, wlilcli wcro u day's labor to carry around. Not ono of us received socks, shirts or under wear. Thu too was cut from tho right shoo of tho pnlr I received, nnd ns my wounds were In tho right thigh and my leg had stiffened up considerably and got very sor, I got pretty anx ious, because there was nothing but slush underfoot, and I wan afraid I might lose my leg. So I thought that If I went to tho conminndcf nnd mado n kick I might get n good shoe. I hesi tated about It at first, but finally mado up my mind nnd wenrto neo him. I told him that It was idu'hy outside, nnd thnt tho water ran through tho holo In my shoo nnd innilo It bud for my wliolo leg, which wan wounded. Hu examined tho shoe, and looked nt tho open too for somo time, und I thought ho was going to put up an argument, but would glvo In finally. Then ho asked me what I wanted. Z thought that was plain enough to see, but I suld Just as easily ns I could that I wanted a shoo without a holo In ho .toe, (To Do Continued.) You Know, but Hometimes Forget.
