We went back along the road until we came to the turning which leads to the village of Boeslnghe. This village la on the bank of the canal, but It Is a mighty unhealthy place to visit, as It la In full view of part of the German lines. Our plan was to go as close to the village as we dared and then leave the car and try to get through on foot It was almost as dangerous as It would be to go through Yprea, but we figured that here we would at least have a fighting chance. We left the car under some trees about half a mile from the Tillage and set out on foot We hadnt been going ten minutes when a sentry stopped us again and Informed us that the road was closed and we would hare to go back.

There was a big ammunition column near our headquarters, and It was waiting there, all ready loaded, until sent for. It hsd been there several weeks then, and the chapa who belonged to It were having the softest time they ever had in their Uvea About 2 oclock In the afternoon I was standing on a corner near this column when 1 saw one of the police go up and speak to a chap who was walking around it with a notebook In his hand. They talked for a few moments, snd then a policeman sauntered down to where I was Standing and came up and spoke to me. Go down to the guard room," be said, and have the corporal fall In two men and bring them up here as quick as God will let him. That fellow there by the column la getting all kinds of lnfor-matio- n and putting It In bis book. Now, hurry, but taks your time until you get out of sight of this "place. 1'U look after him until the guard co'mes. I was naturally all excited, but I did as he said, and it wasn't many minutes before we were on our way back at tbs double. Our man was still there, but the minute be saw us he got started. Our policeman pulled his revolver and fired after him. lie didn't stop for s second, but be pulled a couple of guns himself and eeiy few seconds would send a shot back at us as be ran. Fellows were joining In the chase all the time, and It was getting interesting The eud came very suddenly when two of our chaps with rifles appeared In the road ahead of tba fugitive and ordered him to halt He fired on them for an answer, so they raised tbelr rifles and brought him down. Examination showed that be was a German. He had on German service dress under the British uniform be was wearing. Tba little book our policeman referred to certainly was s gold mine of Information. He bad the name, location and strength of every unit In our vlcluity end also the location of s good many of our batteries. He was s brave fellow, all right, aDd be played the game clear to the end. The next day 1 reported myself as usual for the trip to Potljze, and wo decided to make the try again Even as we got near Yprea the fire seemed to slacken, and we rnabed straight through without mishap. if. Y pres bad been In bad condition before this I don't know how it would be described nowl In the center of the town there was scarcely a building left standing All the towers but one bad been knocked off the famous Cloth hall and the whole place had been gutted by fire. The cathedral was all down except half of the tower, and the inside of that was still burning. The streets were littered with bodies of every description, and broken wagons. ambulances, water carts, etc., lay everywhere The roads were almost obliterated, and we were riding over broken btlcks and mortar. The shells were still coming over, but they were no worse than what we bad run through before, so we did not mind them very inuchi We found the road the other side of Ypres about as usual, so we got up to Potljze without any more exrftetnenL, You can get them qnd save money But All the Time I Had Min I Never Sew Another Sign of Gee. that It was the gas. The othcer who had left a few minutes be fore poked him head down and shouted. "Hun like h ; its the gas! By this time 1 could hardly see, and I was doing some tall old scrambling to get out of that place I would bold my breath as long as 1 could, and then d take another breath through my khaki handkerchief When I got outside 1 found that everything was covered with a greenish yellow haze, and I couldnt see three feet In front of me. I ran In the direction of the place I bad left my car, and I struck It the first shot. Ferhnps I wasnt thankful 1 had left the engine running! I Jumped In and started down that road for all 1 was worth, and before I had gone 100 yards I was off the road and stuck In a plowed field.
