H Experiences In Holland. But I was not quite out of the woods. I now knew that I was in Holland, but just where I had no idea. I walked for about thirty minutes and came to a path leading to the right, and I had Heard tils German Guard Coming. proceeded along It bqa a few hundred yards when I so* In front of me a fence exactly like the one I had crossed. "This is funny," I said to myself. "I didn't know the I>utch had a fence, too." I advanced to the fence and examined It closely, and Judge of my astonishment when I saw beyond It a nine-foot fence apparently holding live wires exactly like the one which had nearly been the death of me! 1 had very little time to conjecture what it all meant, for Just then I heard a guard coming. He was walk ing so fast that I was sure It was a Dutch sentry, as the Huns walk much slower Vho'Jcid wii fnl/fj looC I wandered down It and away from that mysteri ous fence. About half a mile down I could see the light of a sentry sta tion and I thought I would go there and tell my story to the sentries, real izing that as I was unarmed It was perfectly safe for me to announce myself to the Dutch authorities. I could be Interned only If I entered Holland under arms. As I approached the sentry box I noticed three men in gray uniforms, the regulation Dutch color. I was on Uie verge of shouting to them when the thought struck me that there was Just a chance I might be mistaken, as the German uniforms were the same color, and I had suffered too many privations and too many narrow escapes to lose all at this time by Jumping at conclusions. I had just turned off the road to go back Into some bushes when out of the darkness I heard that dread Ger man command: "Halt! Halt!" He didn't need to holler twice. I heard and heeded the first time. Then I heard another man come running up, and there was considerable talking, but whether they were Germans or Hollanders I was still uncertain. He evidently thought someone was on the other side'of the fence. Finally I heard one of them laugh and saw him walk back to tl\e sentry station where the guard was billeted, and I crawled a little nearer to try to make out Just what It meant. I had begun to think It was all a night mare. Between myself and the light In the sentry station, I then noticed the stooping figure ot a man bending over as If to conceal himself and on his head was the spiked helmet of a Ger man soldier! I knew then what another narrow escape I had had, for 1 am quite sure he would have shot me without cere mony If I had foolishly made myself known. I would have been burled at once and no one would have been any wiser, even though, technically speak ing, I was on neutral territory and Im mune from capture or attach. This new shock only served to be wilder me more. I was completely lost. There seemed to be frontier be hind me and frontier in front of me. Evidently, however, what had hap pened was that I had lost my sense of direction and had wandered In the arc of a circle, returning to the same fence that I had been so long In get ting through. This solution of the mystery came to me suddenly and I at once searched the landscape for some thing In the way of a landmark to guide me. For once my faithful friend, the North Star, had failed me. The sky was pitch black and there wasn't a star In the heavens. In the distance, at about what ap peared to be about three miles away, but which turned out to be six, I could discern the lights of a village, and I knew It must be a Dutch village, as lights ore not allowed In Belgium In that Indiscriminate way. My course was now clear. I would make a beellne for that village. Before I had gone very far I found myself In a marsh or swamp and I turned back a little, hoping to find a better path. Finding none, I retraced my steps and kept straight ahead, determined to reach that village at all costs and to swerve neither to the right or left until I got there. One moment I would be In water up to my knees and the next I would sink In mud clear up to my waist. I paid no attention to my condition. It was merely a repetition of what I had gons through many tiroes before, but this time I had a definite goal and once I reached It I knew my troubles would be over. It took me perhaps three hours to reach firm ground. The path I struck led to within half a mile of the village. I shall never forget that path; It was almost as welcome to my feet as the opposite bank of the Meuse had seemed/ The first habitation I come to wai a little workshop with a bright light shining outside. It mast have been alter midnight, but the people Inside were apparently Just quitting work. There were three men and two boys engaged In making wooden shoes. It wasn't necessary for me to ex plain to them that I was a refugee, even If I hod been able to speak their language. I was caked with mud up to my shoulders and I suppose my face must have recorded some of the ex periences I had gone through that memorable night. "I want the British consul!" I told tbem. Apparently they didn't understand, but one of them volunteered to con duct me to the village. They seemed to be only too anxious to do all they could for me; evidently they realized I was a British soldier. It was very late when my compan ion finally escorted me Into the vil lage, but he aroused some people he knew from their beds and they dressed and came down to feed me. The family consisted of an old lady and her husband and a son. Who was a soldier in the Dutch army. The cold shivers ran down my back while he sat beside me, because every now and again I caught a glimpse of his gray uniform and It resembled very much that of Vfte German soldiers. Some of the neighbors, aroused by the commotion, got op to see what It GRAHAM, N. C., THURSDAY, SEPIEMBER 26, 1918 was all about, and came in and -watched while I ate the meal those geod Dutch people prepared for me. I Ordinarily I suppose I would have been embarrassed with so many peo ple staring at me while I ate as though I were some strange snimal that has Just been captured, but just then I was too famished to notice or care very much what other people did. There will always be s warm place in my heart for the Dutch people. I had heard lots of persons say that they were hot inclined to help refu gees, but my experience dldmot bear these reports out They certainly did more for me than I ever expected. I had a little German money left, but as the value of German money Is only about half in Holland, I didn't have enough to pay the fare to Rot terdam, which was my next objective. It was due to the generosity of these people that I was able to reach the BrlUsh consul as quickly as I did. Bome day I hope to return to Holland and repay every single soul who played the part of the good Samari tan to me. With the money that these people gave me I was able to get a third class ticket to Rotterdam, and I was glad that I didn't have to travel flrst clsss, for I would have looked as much out of place in a first-class carriage as a Hun would appear In heaven. That night I slept in the house of my Dutch friends, where they fixed me up most comfortably. In the morn ing they gave me breakfast and then escorted me to the ststlon. While I was waiting at the station a crowd gathered round me and aoon it seemed aa If the whole t«wn had turned out to get a look at me. It was very embarrassing, particularly aal could give them no Information re garding the cause of my condition, al though, of course, they all knew that I was a refugee from Belgium. As the train pulled out of the sta tion, the crowd gave t loud cheer and the tears almost came to my eyes as I contrasted In my mind the conduct of thla crowd and the one that had gathered at the station in Ohent when I had departed a prisoner en route for the reprisal camp. I breathed a sigh of relief as I thought of that re prisal camp and how fortunate I had really been, despite all my sufferings, to have escaped It. Now, at any rate, I was a free man and I would soon be sending home the Joyful news that I had made good my escape! At Elnhoffen two Dutch officers got Into the compartment with me. They looked at me with very .much disfavor, not knowing, of course, that I was a British officer. My clothes were still pretty much In th) condition they were when I crossed the border, al though I had been able to scrape off some of the mud I had collected the night before. I had not shaved nor trimmed my beard for many days, and I must have presented a sorry appearance. I could hardly blame them for edging away from me. The trip from Elnhoffen to Rotter dam passed without special Incident At various stations passengers would get In the compartment and, observ ing my unusual appearance, would endeavor to start • conversation with me. None of them spoke English, however, and they had to use their own Imagination as to my identity. When I arrived at Rotterdam I asked a policeman who stood In front of the station where I could find the British consul, but I could not make him understand. 1 next applied to • tazlcab driver. "English consul —British consul- American consul—Prench consul I" I said, hoping that If he didn't under stand one he might recognize an other. •» He eyed me with suspicion and mo tioned me to get In end drove off. I bad no Idea where he was taking me, tut after a quarter of an hour's ride he brought up In front of the British consul. Never before was I so glad to see the Union Jack I I beckoned to the chauffeur to go with me up to the office, as I had no money with wblch to pay him, sad when he got to the consulate I told them that If tbey would pay the taxi fare I would tell them who I was and how I happened to be there. They knew at once that I was un escaped prisoner and they readily paid the chauffeur and Invited roe to give some account of myself. They treated me most cordially and were Intensely Interested In th brief account I gave tbem of my adven tures. Word was sent to the consul general and be Immediately sent for me. When I went In he shook 'bands with me, greeting me very heartily and offering me a chair. He then sat down, screwed a mon ocle on his eye and viewed me from top to He. I could see that only good breeding kept him from laughing at the spectacle I presented. I could see he wanted to laugh In the worst way. "Go ahead and laugh I" I said. "You can't offend me the way I fee! this blessed day I" and be needed no second Invitation. Incidentally It gave me a chance to laugh at him, for I was about •• much smuted as he was. After be had laughed himself about sick he got up and slapped me on the back and Invited me to tell him my story. "Lieutenant," he said when I had concluded, "yon can have anything you want I think your experience entitles yon to It" "Well, consul," I replied, "I would like a bath, a shsve, a haircut and some civilized clothes about as badly as a man ever needed them, I suppose, but before that I would like to get a cable off to America to my mother telling her that I am aafe and on my way to England!" The consul gave roe the necessary Information and I had the aatlsfactlon of knowing before I left the office that the cable, with Its good tidings, was on Its way to America. Then he sent for one of the naval men who bad been Intcriftd there Since the beginning of the war and who was able to speak Dutch and told him to tajke good care of me. After I had been bathed and shaved and had a haircut I bought some new clothes and had something to eat, and I felt like a new man. Aa I walked through tha Rtreeta of Rotterdam breathlpg_tbe air of fxttr dom again and realizing that - there was no longer any danger of being captured snd taken back' to prison. It was a wonderful sensation. I don't believe there will ever be ■ country that will appear In my eye* quite as good a* Holland did then. I had to be somewhat careful, however, because Holland wu full of German spies and I knew they would be keea to learn all they possibly could about my escape and my adventure* so that the authorities in Belgium could e>ete out punishment to everyone who was In any respect to blame for It. As I was In Rotterdam only one day, they didn't have very much opportunity to learn anything from me. The naval officer who accompanied the and acted as Interpreter for me Introduced me to many other soldiers and sailors who had escaped from Bel glum when the Germans took Ant werp, and as they had arrived In Hol land In uniform and under arms, the laws of neutrality compelled their In ternment and they had been there ever glnce. The life of A man who Is Interned In « neutral county, I learned. Is any thing but satisfactory. He gets one month a year (o visit his home. If he live; In England that Is not so bad, but If be happens to live farther away, the time he has to spend with his folks Is very short, as the month's leave does not take Into consideration the time consumed In traveling to and from Holland. The possibility of escape from Hoi* land Is always there, but the British authorities have an agreement ,with the Dutch government to send refu gees spect, therefore, the position of a man who Is interned la worse than that of a prisoner who, If he does succeed In making his escape, Is naturally re ceived with open q/ms In his native lrtnil. Apart from this restraint, how ever, Internment, with all Its draw backs, Is a thousand times, yes, a mil lion times, better than being a prisoner of war In Germany. It seems to me that when the wftr Is over and the men who have been Imprisoned In Germany return home, they should be given a bigger and greater reception than the most vic torious army that ever marched into a city, for they will have suffered and gone through more than the world will ever be able to understand. No doubt you will And In the Ger man prison camps one or two faint hearted Individuals wltn a pronounced yellow streak who voluntarily gave up the struggle and gave up their lib erty rather than risk their lives or limbs. These sad cases, however, are, I am sure, extremely few. Nine hun dred and ninety-nine out of a thousand of the men lighting In the allied lines would rather be In the front trenches, fighting every day, with all the horrors and all the risks, than be a prisoner of war In Germany, for the men in France huve a very keen realization of what that means. Rut to return to my day In Rotter dam. After I was fixed up I returned to the consulate and arrangements were made for my transportation to Eng land at once. Portunately there was a boat leaving that very night and I was allowed to take passsge on it Just aa we were leaving Rotterdam, the host I was on rammed our own convoy, one of the destroyers, and In jured It so badly that It had to pot back to port. It would have been a strange climax to my adventure If the disaster had resulted in the sinking of my boat and I had lost mf life while on my way to England after having successfully outwitted the Iluns. But my luck was with me to the last, and while the accident re sulted In some delay our boat was not seriously damagtfd and made the trip over In schedule time and without fur ther accident, another destroyer hav ing been assigned to escort us through the danger zone In place of the one wilich had been put o*t of commis sion. When I arrived in London, the re action from the strain I had been under for nearly three months Imme diately became apparent. My nerves were In such a state that It was abso lutely impossible for me to cross the street without being In deadly fear of being run over or trampled. I stood at the curb, like an old woman from the country on her first visit to the city, and I would not venture across until some knowing pollcemsa, recog nizing my condition, cave to iny as sistance and convoyed me across. Indeed, there was a great number of English officers at homo at all times "getting back their nerves" after ■ long spell of active service at the front, so that my condition was any thing but novel to the London bob bles. It was not many days, however, be fore I regained contmi of inysel/ and felt In first-class shape. Although the British authorities In Holland had wired my mother from Holland that I was safe and on my way to England, the first thing I did when we lauded was to send her a cable myself. The cable read as follows: "Mrs. M. J. O'Brien, Momence, ill., U. H. A. "Just escaped from Germany. let ter follows." As I delivered It to the cable dis patcher I could just Imagine the ex ultation with which my mother would receive It and the pride she would feel as she exhibited It among her neighbors snd friends. I could bear the volley of "I told you ao's" that greeted her good tid ings. "It would take more than the kaiser to keep I'at In Germany," I could hear one of tbem saying. "Knew he'd be back for Christmas, anyway," I could hear another re mark. To l« continued. ASK ANYONB WHO HAS USED IT.
