days and, I think, had escaped by this
time. They wcro not returned whllo
I was at Brandenburg.
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

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.
