8 Shaffer's Last Flight [flillnil Wrm Yesterday) We ware awakened aarly In the morning, long before daylight. In or 4er to the soup the Bocb haa prepared for us. They might as well have left ma aleep as I could not eat the soup anyway. It wna "Julian." So I merely picked the meat out and gave the rest to a Frenchman. I waa lucky, finding two pieces. They were only the size of domino sugar, but they were meat and If horse It was I never enjoyed beef more. The meal being over, we went on the march "toute ? suite." traveling through the same peaceful beautiful country as the day before. Truly, war had not touched this particular region, for the cattle in the fields, tho well cared for crops, the pretty, spick and apan villages with no marks of exploding sharpnel or bombs therein all looked so peaceful and homelike that it was hard to be lieve there was a war on—and then one would hear a guttural oath and a sharp order from a Boche guard as he addressed himself to a French man who had broken for a turnip patch, and this happy line of thought was broken. Coat toe Disturb Reverie Or maybe several "cooties" would decide on an extra meal, and that would remind one again that the war ■was still OIL It was indeed a beau tiful country however, and the roads were very very well made and kept up; which same made me decide that if ever this war ended, and if the Boche didn't starve me to death, and 1 got a tin Lizzie. 1 sure would tour this country after the war. There are an awful lot of "ifs" there, I know, but they were all necessary—even now. I'm shy the "tin Lizzie," although minus the other two.

I had butter with It too. for the same lady had given an ad jutant a big chunk of butter, so we went 60-50. I furnished the bread and he the butter and we were both happy. But by the end of the day I was as footsore and weary as ever, even though I had good shoes. I was not used to marching and It went hard, fcfr in France when I traveled any where I went via airplane. There Is quite a difference you know, and I was discovering how much—very painfully. To make things worse as we ar rived at the village where we were to spend the night, a cold wind came down on us and It began to rain. And we were compelled to wait in the public square under such condi tions while places were being found to bed us down for the night. We waited a long while too, for there werb some 3.000 of us and this town had seen some war when the Htins came through in 1?14. It was mostly wrecked houses, eo we had little hope of finding much shelter that night. Prisoners Escape Certainly it would not be a hay mow. We would bo lucky If we had a roof over us. and we knew it. As for me. what with my thin uniform, the rain and cold I like to freeze, and if I had not been so miserable I sure ly would have beat it (several did that night). But I was nearly famished and my feet hurt so much I could hardly walk, so all I could do was huddle up against a wall and hope a place would soon be found for us. Since our bunch were all In the camp of discipline lor punishment we figured the worst quarters would be given us for we were always kept together; but It happened the other way around. Segregate Russians The Boche probably figured, and rightly, too, that if they put ns in a roofless, shell torn house, the next morning there would not be enough Few of us get bald in a day and we all have ample warning when our hair is thinning out.

Therefore we wor e U -Jammed In a small room. The Russian prisoners were pushed In with us, but the Frenchmen abso lutely refused to stand for that, as the Russians were so disgustedly dirty they would not sleep Is the same room wtth them. Bo the Rus sians were given another room alongside. That thinned the popula tion out somewhat and we could stretch out our blankets and legs In being an open fireplace In the room, something resembling comfort. There and several energetlo Frenchmen finding soma wood, we soon haa a roaring fire going, whtch not only thawed us out but served to cook a few potatoes several fellows had picked up along the way. As usual we were given nothing to sat. not even the acorn coffee. So the civilian in whose house we were Imprisoned kindly made us some cof fee, and since the Boche gave ns nothing the guards allowed him to bring it to us. "Julian* Soup Again Next morning we had the usual soup—"Julian"—and this time there was not even any meat In It. Not In my portion at least. Although I never felt as hungry in my life, I could not eat it. The taste nearly sickened me, and besides I had seen its effect on men who ate it Men whom hunger had made so ravenous they would eat anything despite the consequences. These were quick and sometimes fatal, for when It came to getting re sults a "cascaxet" had nothing on "Julian" soup. Therefore, no matter how hungry I was 1 gave my share to some Frenchman. There were al ways takers and they were so glod •ojnsrtaui inauipuouiv jruonniu 9 to get it they could not thank me enough. The pleasure however, was all their's. I wanted some real grub, so remembering the good bread and butter we had eaten the day before, the adjutant and I dodged a guard and into a house. - There we asked for bread and offered to pay for it, knowing, of course, she would not take anything. Belgians I.iberal The Belgians were that way. Not a cent would they take, and yet they would divide their last potato with a prisoner. Yes ma'am. I'm here to say that the Belgians are the kind est people In the world, bar none. But if the madame had no bread she had some potatoes and gave us a whole sack full, and what's more she cooked them for us. During that day's march I lived on potatoes and my former day's rations of black bread. Many watched me hungrily as 1 munched away while we were rest ing. but although X pitied them, I had learned from better experience that If one did not look out for No. 1 no body else would. Certainly not the Boche. And my portion of potatoes was not big enough to last even me more than one day—after that, well, a French shrug was sbout the only answer. Fighting For Snstenance Besides, eight medium-sized pota toes would not go far utnong all those hungry men. They were all hungry, all of the time, and it was one continual fight to get enough to keep alive. Never have I had the fact that life Is a continual combat impressed upon me so forcibly as during this march. Each prisoner was a keen-eyed scout on the trail of something to eat, and if one found anything, he ate It himself, or if he had a very, very good pal he divided. Many things to eat were given the rrisoners as they marched along the road, but on the third day this was forbidden by the guards, as a loaf of bread appearing in a window always made a break in the ranks "toute de suite." This source of supplies being prac tically stopped, late in the afternoon the prisoners were getting very hun gry indeed. The prisoners still man aged to get a few gifts on the sly, but the Boches did all they could to stop this, by marching us around the towns we came to, or if we did march through them, we went by back streets. Dump Furnished Food Once we passed by the town dump, and here the Russians saw some po tato peelings, and promptly got down on their knees and rooted among them for small po.tatoes. They found some too, and half rotted as they were, took them, aloug. Not only that, but they took the peelings also. Never have I seen anything so dis gusting. And they actually ate that mess. hy it didn't kill them is a mystery. Several Frenchmen tried the same thing and died. After that, the Frenchmen were down on the Rus sians more than ever, for the odor of rotten potatoes clung to them wherever they went. That night we slept in a stable. The horses were taken out and we were put in. It even looked as if we were going to use the original bedding of the horses, until the kind farmer offered us some straw. When we went for the straw we found a lot of bundles of- beans coarse stalks, about a yard long, whose branches were covered with bean pods. After that everybody hulled beans for all he was worth, and sinc e we stayed there two days! some had quite a lot to show for It! Of course, the farmer had not given us permission to use the bean bundles too, but when one is hungry he does not stop to think whether he is bust ing one of the Ten Commandments or not. Those beans were good eating. We were hungry, so we hulled away for dear life. As they were very hard it took quite a while to cook them, and we had no wood. So we u&e corn stalks to keep the fire going. Are Given Heat It was a big farm yard where we were imprisoned, and not only was the house-large, but the vard'was enclosed by a high wall—with Boche guards all around, outside of course. Having been on the march for three days, it was decided by the Boche to keep us there a day to recuperate for there were many prisoners too weak to stand the continuous march jng, and already the sick list was large and growing rapidly. The rest was indeed a godsend, for we all needed it, and having nothing to do. everybody swiped bean bun bundles and laid In a good supply 0 f eats. But this work was too confin ing and tiresome and I soon tired of It. What I wanted was a little liber ty. and beginning to feel better from the rest, looked around for ways and means to gain It. Also, I had heard of several pris oners getUng out the night before, going down In the village and gat ing some real meals, afterward re turning to camp. So I began making arrangements to do likewise. (To Be Continued.) —— —— MORE MIXES CLOSED By Aitociattd Prut Scranton, Pa., Fob, B.—Orders are Issued by the D.
