Trace Road Map of Country by Walking at Night to Escape Foe ? Finally Reach Holland and Freedom. AKEALI.Y gripping story of one of the most remarkable episodes of ttie great war Las been told me by Adjutant Pilot Henri Ueservat, a hero of t tie French aviation corps, who recently succeeded iu escaping from a German prison camp and is now enjoying once more the free air -of France. I wish I could convey in writing the modest, simple, matter of fact manner in which Adjutant Ueser vat speaks of his strange experience, says l'aul Ay res Bock well, stall cor respondent of the Chicago Daily News. Adjutant lteservat was a pilot with the famous fighting escadrille N. Go, which was one of the tirst flying groups to go to the Verdun front last year. After many successful recon noissances and combats he was order ed on May 22, 1010, to attack and de stroy a German observation balloon. The attack was successful, and Ueser vat sent the "drachen" flaming to earth. But while he was diving on the balloon and destroying it four Ger man aeroplanes came up behind him and began riddling his machine with bullets. Ueservat was eight kilometers (four and eight-tenth- miles) within the Ger man lines and subjected not only to the attacks of the four aviators, but to a grilling shell fire from anti-aircraft guns. Yet he did not lose hope of get ting back home. lie headed for the French lines with his four assailants after him, tiring all the time. Ucser vat's machine gun was a fixed one and could only be tired in the direction in which his machine was headed. Sev eral times he tried to maneuver so as to return the German fire. All his ef forts were in vain. A number of bul lets pierced the motor, and he was forced to land in German territory. uermans congratulate iieservat. The four German pilots who had been attacking Reservat also lauded. They congratulated him upon his gal lant struggle, then wrote a note con firming his having destroyed the draehen assigned him and telling of his being captured after a heroic at tempt to escape. The note was car ried up by a German aviator and drop ped into the French lines. Heservat was put on a train and taken away to a German prison camp near Mayence (the German Mainz.) Captivity was not agreeable to this eagle, who loved the free air, and Hes ervat at once began planning his es cape. The camp at Mayence was too well guarded, however. Then he was moved to NVellburg, where the regime was even more strict. Seeing that there was little hope of getting safely away from this camp, Reservat volun teered to go to work in a great agricul tural camp and succeeded in being transferred to Giessen. Here there was more freedom. The prisoners were even allowed an hour a day in which to go out into the little village near by to purchase coffee and other bits. Reservat made the ac quaintance of an old peasant woman and, pretending that he wished it as a protection against the cold, asked her to sell him a civilian overcoat. The woman consented to sell the coat on condition that it should be paid for with chocolate, tea, canned goods and other edibles, which Reservat received in weekly parcels from France. The exchange was made, and the old wom an also sold a civilian coat to a young zouave sergeant, who was to be Reser vat's comrade in the dash for liberty. For several cakes of chocolate the scheming Frenchmen also bought from a servant girl two roufh felt hats. Road Msp In Parcel. Many months before one of the pris oners had received, hidden In a parcel from France, a good road map of Ger many. Iteservat and his comrade made a tracing of it. They also laid by a little btore of chocolate, biscuit and canned foods sent them from home and tinaily. on March 18, 1917, all was ready for the departure. Tak ing advantage of a half hour's lateness In lockhig the door of their barracks, the two men skipped out in the dark ness and were en route for liberty. Here are a few notes describing the Journey, written by fieservat during the long daylight hours Id which be and his companion lay hidden in thick ets or abandoned huts: "Departed at 815 the evening of March 19. 19i7, and got away without incident. We took the route for Lim burg and thought to gain several kilo meters by cutting across through the woods. Alas, at the end of an hour and a half, we found ourselves lost in the forests! Finally we discovered the main road and crossed the Lahn. Rain and an intense darkness. Taking our direction northwest, we again got lost and walked without knowing where we were going until 3 a m. Then we came to the edge of a large wood and entered a thicket of small pines, where we lay down near the road. A rainy ?hiy, some snow. We are suffering from the cold. "March 20.? We left our hiding place at 8:15 p. in. and set out toward a great light, which we thought must be the station at Llmburg. Before arriv ing near this light we met a man, who ?tofped and lodked at us closely. We made baste to say good night to bim, aiul lie went on bis way. We arrived at the city. Sad to say, it was uot Limburg, and we could not make out the name of the place. We continued our march toward t be northwest apd finally found our * d road at Scbul bertz. A very dark night, with a little rain. We stopped at 5 a. m. and lay down on the edge of a wood. A very critical morning. A peasant came and cut wood at three yards from us. 1 will never understand how it happeued that he did not see us. We changed our hiding place as soon as t lie peasant left and were more tranquil until the evening. A rainy, snowy day." Had Narrow Escape. Reservat told me that a small boy was with the peasant who cut the wood and that once the peasant looked directly at the place where the two Frenchmen were hidden, saying some thing in German. Then he picked up bis bundle of wood and with the child went away. The diary continues: "March 21. Departed at U a. m. along the same road. Upon arriving at the first village we noticed that again we were wandering. We looked at our map, but unfortunately it was not very detailed, for this region was entirely left out of our itinerary, which had been made to leave from Giessen. AVe tried vainly to find the right road. Useless effort. So again we set off to ward the unknown, trusting in our good star. we passeu mrougu several villages and arrived, without knowing it, at the gates of Limburg. Crossed part of the 1 city without incident apart from meet ing several workmen and found our selves on the correct route, in the di rection of Bonn. "March 22.? Departure at 8:30 p. m. Fine weather. Marched without inci dent until morning. We have stop ped in a wood of small pines, for it is the best of hiding places, especial ly as since we left the prison camp , we have not been discovered. It is i very cold, and it was not yet daylight when we stopped. We tried to warm ourselves by running up and down the road. We were almost caught by a civilian, whom we did not hear com ing. It took only one jump for us to penetrate into our wood, and we are resting tranquilly in our hiding place. Reach Heights of Rhine. "March 24.? Departure at 8:13 p. m. Good march. Lost our way about 2 , a. in., but found it again on the banks of the Rhine. Following the Rhine, we arrived at BeuL We decided to hide on the heights that overlook the Rhine. Were disillusioned by the woods we found there. Finally we discovered an abandoned stone quar ry, where we found a little hut. We entered, barricaded the doors and have passed a most exciting day. Are wor ried because of the children who have been playing around all day, and who seem to lind it very strange that the hut is closed up. "Before dark we caine out of our hiding place and watched the sun set from the banks of the Rhine, just like tourists. "March 2(i.-We took our departure In very bad weather, snow and an icy rain. We are wet to the skin and have difficulty in walking. We got lost about 3 a. m., but managed finally to stop near the point we had decided upon in advance. We are sheltered in a large wood of pines, but have been on the watch all day, because we are near a large city. Are still wet to the skin, for it is impossible to dry our selves. A very hard and very cold day. "March 27. ? En route nt 8 p. m. We pass the city of Dunn. After a little trouble we lind our correct road. We follow it half the night then, not to change our custom, we got lost. Comrade Wants to Give Up. "My comrnde Is again about to give up in despair, being completely demor alized and fatigued and having a blis tered toot. "March 2S. ? We act out at 8 p. m. We find our route, not without trouble, and take the dliectlon of the frontier. We stop at 2 p. m. and rest, hidden, until 11 p. m. the following night. "Ma roh !.*) -Departure at 11 :.10 p. m. Bad weather, rain and wind. We are happy to be able to drink rain water. We take the right road and arrive near our goal. About 2 a.m. the sky became light. We find the polar star, which leads us to freedom. Cutting across the fields we march for about eight kilo meters, and when the sun rises we find ourselves in Holland, free and saved! We are tired out and dirty from head to foot." Tho two soldiers were well received at the frontier village and rested three days with a family of Belgian refugees. Then they went to Rotterdam, where they rested for a month. Crossing to England, they finally reached France on June 6. Both men were still very tired and were granted a long period of re pose hy the French war department. First Valor Medal For Root.
