FRENCH AVIATORS IKE
THEIR ESCAPE NOVAL WAY:
' , | -
PARIS, April 7, (By Mail)—In es
caping from a German military pris
on, Lieutenant Roland G. Garros and
Lieutenant Antoine Marchal, the two
celebrated French aviators, repeated
the exploit of the famous German
“Captain Koepenick.” After having
been twice caught and punished for
attempting to take “French leave”,
Garros and Marchel recalled how
gullible the people and soldiers prov
ed themselves in the case of the shoe
maker Voigt who, under the name of
Captain Koepenick and in an officer’s
uniform laid everything under con
tribution and was saluted and hon
ored as only a German military offi
cer could be.
■
So they made French blue horizon
cloth uniforms resembling as closly
as possible those of the German
officers. When they were finished
all they had to do was to simply walk
out of their prison, out of the camp
and out of the town, saluted on every
hand by sentinels, soldiers of duty
and civilians.
Once clear of the town they doffed
their uniforms and made their way
to the frontier of Holland by rail
quite comfortably. Their greatest
difficulty was in crossing the line.
It took them three days during which
they crept on hands and knees back
ward and forwards alternately,
dodging sentinels.
