enough to give tho glrlH a clinnco of
refusing me. I was refused all right,
but they wero no nuslynbout It that I
put down my head mid lei something

I fell on my hands nnd knees, and
about n yard away I saw n cigarette

that stub was safely In my pocket.
And It stnyed there until I reached
Dulmen and had a chnnee to light It
behind the barrack. If any of the

they would probably have murdered

HOMING PIGEONS TO
AID FIRE FIGHTERS
(From Friday's Dally.)
Carrier pigeons as fire fighters will
mako their advent on the Deschutes
national forest during the coming
season, It was announced today at
national forest headquarters here.
A number of homing pigeons are be
ing brought to Dend from Portland
by William Sproat, a member of tho
supervisor's office force, and will bo
used this summer In transmitting
messages from firo fighting parties
to Dend.
In somo of tho moro widespread
conflagrations it frequently happens
that communication with the homo
offlco by telephone is cut off, and
because of this each detail ot fire
fighters will tako a pigeon with them
on leaving for tho timber. The high
rato of speed at which tho birds fly
will mako It possible to send mes
sages by air with very little loss ot
time.
for three weeks, they drilled us out ot
tho camp to a railway station, nnd
stood us In the snow for four hours
waiting for tho train. We wero ex
hausted nnd began falling, one by
one, and each time one ot us fell, the
Gentries would yell, "Nlcht krankl"
nnd give us the rlflo butt. We had
our choice of standing up and dying
or falling down nnd being killed, nnd
It was n fine choice to have to make.
The cars finally pulled In, and as
usual, the windows were smashed, the
doors open, nnd the compartments Just
packed with 6now. When we saw this,
wo knew we were going to get worse
treatment, even, than we had been
getting, nnd many of us wnnted to die.
It had not been unusual for some of
the men to tell the Germans to shoot
them too, nnd It seems as though It
was always a man who wanted to live
who did get it nnd went west.
ITowcver, nil of us nearly got killed
when we reached Wittenberg. When
the train stopped there, we saw a big
wngonlond of sliced bread on the sta
tion platform and we all stared at It.
We stood It as long as we could, nnd
then we made n rush for It. But when
we got nearer, we saw that there were
four sentries guarding It nnd four
women Issuing It out to the German
soldiers. They would not give us any,
of course.
So we stood 'around and watched tho
Iluns eat it, whllo they and the women
laughed nt us, nnd pretended thnt
they were starving and would groan
nnd rub their stomachs and say,
"Stents zu cssen," to each other, nnd
then grab a big hunk of bread and
cat It. What we did not say to them
was very little Indeed. Wo were cer
tainly wild If any men ever were.
Then some of us said wc were go
ing to get some of that bread if we
went west for It. So we started n
fight, nnd while they were attending to
some of us, the others grabbed and hid
all the bread they could. They rousted
us back Into the cars and we were
Just starting to divide up the bread
when they caught us with it and took
It nwoy. We were wilder than ever
then, but we could not do anything.
It got colder after we left Witten
berg, and the snow blew Into the cars
through the windows and doors until
we were afraid to sleep for fear of
freezing. It was the worst night I
have ever seen, nnd the coal bunkers
on the Yarrowdale seemed like n pal
ace com par (Ml to the compartments,
because we could at least move around
in the ship, while In the train we could
not move nt nil, and were packed so
lleve me when I say that I enjoyed
It. There was not much to It, but I
smoked It until there was not enough
left to hold In my mouth, nnd then I
used whnt was left nnd mixed It with
the bark thnt we mado cigarettes out
of. Incidentally, this bark was great
stuff. I do not know what kind ot
tree it was from, hut It served tho
purpose. Whenever n fellow wanted
to smoke und lit ono of these bnrk
cigarettes, a few puffs were enough.

no did not want to smoke ngnln for
somo time afterward, and like us not,
he did not want to eat either. They
wero therefore very valuable.
It is very hard to get matches In
the camps, and when any prisoner
does get hold of one, It Is mado to last
n long time. Here Is how wc mako a
match last. Some ono gives up the
sleeve ot his coat, and the match Is
carefully lit, and tho cont sleeve
burned to a crisp. Then we tako a
button from our coats tho buttons
are brass with two holes In them
pass n shoestring through the holes,
knot tho ends, und with the button In
the center of the string. "buzz It nround
as you have seen boys do, with the
string over both hands, moving the
hands together and apart until tho
button revolves very' fast.
Wo then put a piece of flint against
the crisped cloth, und buzz the button
neulnst It until n Mnnrlf innkixi llui

our legs and arms. Somo of the men
did die, but not in my compartment,
though most of us were frost-bitten
about the face.
Wo thought that night would never
end, but day came finally, and though
it seemed to get colder and colder, we
did not mind it so much. At about
eleven that morning, we arrived at a
pin co called Mlnden and saw n prison
camp there Just a stockade near tho
tracks with the boys out in the open.
Wc. waved to them, nnd they wuved
b'nek nnd gnvo a cheer-oft or two. Wo
felt sorry for them, because wo knew
we were not going to that camp, and
from what little we saw, we knew wo
could not be going to a worse place
than they were in. I shall never for
get Mlnden, becnuso It was hero that I
received tho only cigarette I had while
I was in Germany.
Mlnden is quite a railway center, I
guess, nnd when we pulled into tho
depot, we saw many troops going to
the front or coming back. As at all
importnnt German railway stations,
there was a Red Cross booth on the
platform, with German girls handing
out barley coffee and other things to
the German soldiers. I saw a largo
shanty on tho platform, with a Red
Cross painted over the door. I saw
the girls giving barley coffee to tho
soldiers, and I thoucbt I would bavo
light our bark clgarcttcii. I do not
think any man In tho world could In
hale ono of theso bnrk cigarette:
some of us tried und weut right to
sleep.
CHAPTER XXI.
A Visit From Mr. Gerard.
Lato that night we arrived at Dul
men, Westphalia. We were rousted
out of tho carriages, mustered on tho
platform, counted, then drilled through
tho streets. In fcplto of tho lateness,
tho streets wero pretty well filled with
people, and they zlg-zagged iih through
all tho streets they could, so that all
the pcoplo would havo a chunco to see
tho crazy men, as they called us. Most
of tho peoplo wero women, und as soon
as they Baw us coming, they begun
singing tho "Watch on tho Rhino" or
somo other German song, and It wus
funny to sco windows opening nnd fut
frnus, with nlght-cnps on, sticking
their heads out of tho windows. Thoy
would glvo us a quick once-over, and
pipe up llko a boatswain: "Schweln
hund Vntcrland Wacht nra Rheln"
all kinds of things and all mixed up.
So wo gavo them "Tlpperary" and
"Pack Up Your Troubles," und
showed them how to sing. Our guards
bad no car for music and tried to stop
us, but though they knocked several
men down, wo did not sjop until wo

Iinil llulshrit the Hong. Then, iifler wo
hnd admitted to each oilier that wo
wero not downhearted, wu shut up.
Wo would havo douo ho, anyway, be
cnuso by this tlmo wo wore on tho out
skirts of tho town, and we needed nil
tho breath wo luiil. The ruml wo were
on was Just one long shoot of Ice, nnd
wo could hardly walk more than four
steps without slipping und falling. My
shoes had wooden soles, and It wiim
Just ouo bang after another, with tho
Ice and myself trying to see which
could hit tho hardest. Kvory tlmo wo
foil smash I cnnio a rlllo over tho
back.
I was getting pretty tired, so I said
to somo of tho fellows that 1 was go
ing to sit down and rest, and they said
they would also. So wo dropped out
and waited until the gunrdH behind
had Just about caught up with us, and
then wo would go on. Wo did this
several times until they got on to us,
und wo could not do It any more.
Up tho road a pleco I fell again, and
this time I did not enro what hap
pened, so I Just sat there In the
middle of the road until Fritz camo up.
Instead of giving mo tho bayonet, ho
mado mo tnke oit my shoes that is,
he took them off of mo with a knlfo
through tho strings and I had to walk
tho rest of tho way In my bare feot.
It was about four miles altogether
from the station to tho camp.
When wo got near tho camp, nil tho
boys came tint of tho barracks nnd
lined up along the barbed wire, and
yelled ub a welcome. Wo asked them
If they were downhearted, and they
said no, and we said wo wero not eith
er. Wo could hardly seo them, but
they began yelling again when wo got
nearer, and asked in. "Is there anyono
there from Queenstown?" and then
Hull, nnd Portsmouth, and Dover, nnd
Toronto and n lot of other places.
I did not pay much attention until
I heard, "Any Americans there?" and
I jelled back, "Yes, where nro you?"
"Rnrracks 0-R, flruppe :i."
"Where from?" I yelled.
"Roston. Whi-re'ro yon from?"
"The U. S. A. and Atlantic porl.
See you later."
So. the next morning, I went over to
his barracks and asked for tho Yntil;.
They pointed him out to me, where ho
was lying on tho floor. I went over
and laid down with him, nnd wo had
qulto a talk. I will not give his name
hero for certain reasons.
He hnd received several wounds nt
the time ho was tnken prisoner. Ho
hnd been in the Canadian service for
two years. Wo used to talk about
Now York and Roston nnd tho differ
ent places we knew In both towns, nnd
wo nlso talked n lot about the rotten
treatment we were receiving, nnd tried
to cook up some plnn of escape. Rut
every one we could think of had been
used by some one else, nnd either bad
fulled, or the Huns had fixed It so tho
plan could not bo tried again. Wo
doped out some pretty wild schemes at
that. Altogether, wo became great
pals, and wero together as much as
possible at Dulmen. Tho day I left
tho camp, he gnvo mo n ring mado
from n shell, and told me to get It safely
back to the States, but some ono stolo
It at Ilrnndenhurg. . .
Ono day while T was In his barracks
an Englishman stepped out of tho door
for some reason or other, and though
ho did not soy a word to Fritz, In two
minutes he was dead, In cold blood.
Wo never knew why they killed him.
At Swlnemundo and Neustrclltz, I
must ndmtt that the Germans had us
pretty badly buffaloed, but nt Dulmen
tho prisoners wero entirely different.
Dulmen was tho receiving camp for
tho whole western front, and tho pris
oners there got to bo pretty tough
eggs, ns far ns Fritz wns concerned,
before they had been In camp many
days. They thought nothing of pick
ing n fight with u sentry nnd giving
him n good battle, even though ho was
armed with rlllo and bayonet. Wo
soon learned thnt unless his pals nro
around a German will not stand by his
arguments with his fists. In other
words, If ho can outtalk you, ho will
beat you up, hut If ho cannot, It is n
enso of "Hero comes Helnlo going
back."
Tho Russian prisoners nt Dulmen
wero certainly n miserable looking
bunch. They spent most of their tlmo
wondering uround tho Russian bar
racks, hunting for rotten potato peel
ings and other garhuge, which they
would eat. When they saw Fritz
throw nut his swill, they would dlvo
right through tho barbed wlro ono
after another, and their hands nnd
fnco and clothes wero always torn
from It. It was unhealthy to stand
between tho Russlnns und their garb
age prey they wero so speedy that
nothing stopped them.
One morning, Just nfter burlcy-cof-feo
time, I camo nut of tho barracks
nnd saw an Australian arguing with
tho sentry. I was not only curious,
but anxious to bo a good citizen, ns
thoy say, so I went up and slung an
car nt them. Tho Australian had asked
Fritz what hnd been dono with tho
flag that tho Huns wero going to fly
from tho Eiffel tower in Paris.
That was too deep for Fritz, so tho
Australlaiunnswcrcd It himself, "Don't
you know, Fritz? Well, wo havo no
blankets, you know,"
Still tho sentry did not got It. So
tho Australian carefully explained to
mo so that Fritz could hear that tho
Germans had no blankets nnd wero
using tho flag to wrap their cold feet
In.
This started a fight, of course tho
German Idea of it light, that is. Tho
nentry, being u very bravo man for it
German, blew his whistle very loudly,
and sentries camo from nil directions.
So wo beat it to tho Australian's bar
racks, and thoro I found tho second
Amlcon In tho camp. Ho was a bar
ber named Stlmsnn, from ono of tho
Western states. Ho had heard I was
