This was about 7 a.m. They drilled ns down to tho. llttlo lake, whero tho cold was much greater, and kept us there until 5 p. in without food or drink. At about eight that morning they found Fontnlno In n French bar racks and kicked him nil tho way to tho lako where wo wcro. All day long wo stood there, falling ono by ono and getting kicked or beat en each timo until wo dragged our selves up again. Two or three died I do not know tho exact number. But wo had enough strength, when ordered back to tho barracks, to kick Fon tnlno ahead of us nil tho way. We did not get anything to cat until soven tho next morning twenty-four hours without food and water, ten of which wcro spent In tho snow without any protection from tho cold and wind. No wonder wo kicked Fontnlno for bringing this punishment on us and en dangering tho two who had escaped ho had simply strolled over to tho French barracks and forgot to return. Now, tho food received wns just about enough to keep us alive. I sup pose, with true kultur, tho Huns had figured out Just how much It would tako to keep n man on this sldo ot tho starvation line and gavo us that much and no more. So wo wcro always famished always hungrier than you probably ever havo been. But some times when wo wcro ravenously hun gry and could not hold out any longer wo would trade rations.

Ono timo wo wero ordered to report to tho German doctors for a scrum treatment of same kind to receive an Injection, In othor words. There was no cholco about It this time, as wo wcro simply horded together to tho hospital barracks. Now, I knew what theso things were llko and how brutal tho German doctors wcro !n glvlrfg an Injection, so I wanted to bo tho very first man and not havo to witness tho othor men gottlng theirs. So I pushed up to tho head of tho line, with tho crew of 11. M. 8. Nomad, who hnd been captured In tho Jutland battle, and by tho timo wo got to tho hospital was the very first man In line. But the sentry threw mo back and there wcro sorernl men nhend of roc. Each of them bared his chest and tho doctors slashed them across tho breast with n very Uitn knife, so you can seo that It was very paluful. When It camo to my turn they slushed mo thrco times In the shapo ot u trlanglo Just to ono side of tho hrenst. And that was nil thcro wns to It no Injection, noth ing on tho kntfo that I could sec. Now, I do not Know what the Idea was. Every man of us wns dltzy for the rest of the day and could not do anything hut lay around the barracks. And hardly any of us bled a drop, Just another dcniwn trick that no ono could exptaln. Ono day n war correspondent nnracd Bennett, from n ChtcnRo paper, camo to tho camp and went through nil tho barracks. When ho enmo to our bar racks I told him I wns nn American and asked for tho news. Instead of answering ho began to nsk all sorts of questions. Finally, after I hnd told him I hnd been In tho French sen-Ice, I asked him If ho could help mo In any way. Ho nnswered thnt I had only my self to blamo and thnt Jt served mn right If I hnd been In one of tho allied armies. I did not llko his looks much nnd ho seemed unfriendly, but when ho began smoking a cigarette It almost drove mo crazy nnd I could not help nuking for one. Ho refused me nnd said I should havo stnyed In my own country, whero I could hnvo hnd p'enty of cigarettes. After a whllo ho throw nway a ciga rette stub and not only I but thrco or four others who wcro near made a dtvo for It A man nnmed Kelley got li ft crazy man who went around trying to fat wood and cloth -and anything he could find. . v When my threo weeks wero up and I had not heard from Mr. Gerard I was Just about ready to go down to tho lako and pick out a vacant spot and lay down In It I realty do not think I could havo lasted two weeks longer. And Just about that time, as I waa walking back to barracks ono day, a Frenchman showed mo n German newspaper, and thero In largo type on tho top of tho first page It said that Mr. Gerard hnd left tho country, or was gelling ready to leave. They had to dreg mo tho rest of tho way to tho barracks and throw fnow on mo befuro I came to. tOunner Dejxjw'a lntervlw with Mr, Gerard took place at tha Dulmen pvfeon camp on or about February 1, 1917. On February J. our state department demand ed the releaie of sixty-two American captured on British vesaela and held as prtaonera In Clermany, On the lama day, President Wilson severed diplomatic rela tions with Oermany. Ambassador Gernrd left Germany exactly one week later, Tho newspaper that Ounner Depew saw must have been Issued after February 1& It waa not until March 9, HIT, however, that Ounner Depew was actually released from Brandenburg. Editor's Note. I do not know what hnppencd daring tho next few days. But a week or so Inter tho Spanish ambassador and four German officers snd Swutts camo to our barracks and tho ambassador told mo I would bo released I It was all I could do to keep from fainting again. Then Swntts' naked yio In English If I hod anything to say about tho treatment In tho camp, and I began to think maybe It was a frame-up of some kind, so all I said was, "When will I get out of hero?,r nnd ho said, "Why, you will be released tomorrow." I did pot wait to hear any more, but rushed Into tho barracks again, singing and- whistling and yelling ns loud us I could. Tho boys told mo my face was very red and I guess what llttlo blood, I bad in my- body had rushed to my head, because I could hardly walk for a few talautea. THURSDAY, APRIL 9, 11 Then tho men began to think X was crnsy, nnd none of them believed X would really bo released, but that X was going to bo sent to tho mines, nn so mnny wero. Hut I believed It, nnd. I just sat thero on my bunk und be gan to drenni of tho food I would gut nnd what I would cut first, nnd so an. I did .nut sloop that night Just walked from burrncks to bntruckn tin till they chased mo nway, nnd then walked up nnd down In tny own bur racks tho rest of tho night When X got to the Ilusslnn bnrrncks and told the two doctors my news, they would not believe me nt nil, although thoy know thcro hnd been some Important visitor at tho camp. But when I walked out ot their door I said, "Dobra vetshav," which moans "Good night I" Then thoy must have believed me, for they called mo back, and all tho men gave mo addressed of people to wrlto to In case I should get away. They wero all talking nt once, nnd ona ot tho doctors gut very excited nutl got dowu on his knees wltlr- his hands In tho air. "Albert," ho snld, "If you havo tho God-gtvcu luck to gut out of Germany not for nty suke, but for tho nnko ot us who nro hero In this hell-hole, promise tuo you will tell all tho people wherever you go whnt they aro doing to us hero. Tell thuui not to scud mouey, for we cnu't cut money, nnd not meat Just bread, bread, bread" And when I looked around all tho men wcro sitting on their beds crying and tearing their hnlr nnd saying, "bread, bread, bread," over nnd orer ngnln. Then each tried to glvo mo somothlng, as If to say that oven If they did not get out, perhaps tlulr but ton or belt tr skull cup would gut back to civilization. ' When I left their barracks I began to cry, becauso It did not seem pos sible that I wns going nway, and al ready I could sco them stnrvlng slow ly. Just ns I had been stnrvlng. Tho next morning n sentry camo to my barracks, called out my namo nnd took mo to tho commander of tho camp. They searched me, nnd then drilled mo back to barracks again. Then tho men all thought they wero Just playing a Joko on me, nud thoy said so. Tho snmo thing happened tho next day, nnd whorl ono of tho men said that probably I would bo slammed up against a wall nnd shot, I began to feel shaky, I can tell you. But tho third morning, after they hnd ncprched me, tho commander said, "Well, you'll havo to havo it bath be fore you leave tho country," and I was so glad Mat I did not mind about tho bnth, although I remembered tho last ono I had, und It did not agrco very well with mo. After tho bath, they drilled mo out Into tho road. Thero wcro four sentries with me, but not Swntts, nor did I sco Mm anywhero nround, for which I was sor ry. But all tho boys came down to the barbed wire, or to the gate, and somo wcro crying, and others were cheering, and all of them wero very much excited. But after a mlnuto or two they got together again and tho last thing I heard was tha song about packing up your old kit bag, and then, "Are we downhearted? No I They were certainly game lads. They did not take me straight to the station, but took me through all the streets they could fliuL and as us ual, tho women were thero with tho brick and spit But I did not mind: I was used to It and besides. It wan the last time. So I Just grinned at them, and thought that I was better oft than they, bvcuuso they had to stuy In tho hole- called Germany. I was still linlf naked, but I did not mind tho two-hour wait on tho station platform. I noticed a llttlo slgu that read, "Berlin !3 tnllca' north," and that was tho first timo I had much of an Ideu where Brandenburg wus. (To- Be Continued.)
