"Outwitting the Hun" By Pat O'Brien From page 4 I discovered "that 1 ha3 "been cap tured by "cooties." This was a novel experience to me and one that I would have been very willing to have missed, because In the flying corps our airdromes are a number of miles back of the lines and we have good billets and our acquaint ance with such things as "cooties" and other unwelcome vlaltoA Is very lim ited. When I discovered my condition, I made a holler and roused the guard, and tight then I got another example of German efficiency. This guard seemed to be even more perturbed about my complaint -than I myself, evidently fearing that be would be blamed for my condition. The commandant was summoned and I could see that he was very an gry. Someone undoubtedly got a se vere reprimand for It. ' I was taken out of my cell by a guard with a rifle and conducted about a quarter of a mile from the prison to an old factory building which had been converted into an elaborate fumi gating plant. There I was given a pickle bath In some kind of solution, and "while I. was absorbing It my clothes, bed clothes and whatever else bad been In my cell was being put through another fumigating process. While I was waiting for my things to dry it took perhaps half an hour I had a chance to observe about one hundred other victims of "cooties" German soldiers who had become In fested in the trenches. We were all nude, of course, but apparently It was not difficult for them to recognize me as a foreigner even without my uni form on, for none of them made any attempt to talk to me, although they were very busy talking about me. I could not understand what they were saying, but I knew I was the butt of most of their Jokes and they made no effort to conceal the fact that I was the subject of conversation. When I got back to my cell I found that It had been thoroughly fumigated. and from that time on I had no further trouble with "cooties" or other visi tors of the same kind. As we were not allowed to write anything but prison cards, writing was out of the question ; and as we had no reading matter to speak of, reading was nil. We had nothing to do to pass away the time, so consequently cards became our only diversion, for we did. fortunately, bare some of these. There wasn't very much money as a rale In circulation, and I think for once In my life I held most of that, not due to any particular ability on my part In the game, but I happened to have several hundred francs in my pockets when shot down. But we held a lot tery that was watched without quite such intense interest as that The drawing was always held the day before to learn who was the lucky man. There was as much speculation as to who would win the prize as if It had been the finest treasure in the world. The great prize was one-third of a loaf of bread. Through some arrangement, which I never quite figured out, It happened that among the eight or ten officers who were there with me, there was always one-third of a loaf of bread over. There was Just one way of getting that bread, and that was to draw lots. Consequently that was what started the lottery. I believe if a man had ever been inclined to cheat he would have been sorely tempted In this instance, but the gme was played ab solutely square, and' if a man had been caught cheating the chances are that be would have" been "shunned by the rest of the officers as long as be was In prison. I was fortunate enough to win the prize twice. One man and I think he was the smallest eater In the camp won it on three successive days, but It was well for htm that his luck deserted him on the fourth day, for he probably would have been bandied rather roughly by the rest of the crowd, who were grow ing suspicious. But we Handled tne drawing ourselves and knew there was nothing crooked about it, so be wus spared. We were allowed to buy pears, ana being small and very hard, they were used as the stakes In many a game. But the Interest In these little games was as keen as if the stakes had been plies of money instead or two or inree half-starved pears. No man was ever so reckless, however, In all the betting as to wager bis own rations. By the most scheming and sacrific ing I ever did In my life I managed to hoard two pieces of bread (grudgingly spared at the time from my dally ra tions), but I was preparing for the day when I should escape If I ever should. It was not a sacrifice easily made either, but Instead ot eating bread I ate pears until I finally got one piece of bread ahead; and when I could force myself to stick to the pear diet again, I saved the other piece from that day's allowance, and In days to come I had cause to credit myself fully for the foresight Continued next week Let the Service Shop do your printing It gives 'satisfaction TAKEN UP: One black sow with slits in each ear.
