POSES AS FARM GIRL
"TO ESCAPE GERMANS
London—An astonishing story wa
tsid by a soldier of the Middlesex re
giment. who reacted London fron
Germany, with 404 other men. He ha<
been a captive for two years. And fo
six months before tie signing of th(
armistice he lived a free life behin<
the Gf "man lines in Belgium by in
Personating a dead womna.
As he had a good record with Hi;
c.'otors a strict watch was not kep
on him and hS escaped last March.
For six days he hid in ditches b)
day and moved southward by night
On the sixth night he was so exhausl
ed that he decided to risk capture bj
asking 'c- food at a small Belgial
‘ Ji.sc. He ente-ed. half expeci
ing to fmd sc.jirs bb'eted in the
h6uS£.
The only occupsht was an old ws
man who was wailing at the Bedside
of her daughter, who had died that
morning. He persuaded the old wo
man to let him impersonate the
daughter. The mother's greatest objec
uon was to his suggestion that he
shsuid bury the body of the dauah
ter in the garden, but on h.s pointing
out that it could be easily taken up
after the war and buried with the
p-oper religious observances she
agreed.
He buried toe girl that night and
*o" six months were her clothes and
worked in the fields. A few of the
neighboring people w^re told, but
they kept the secret.
Cheerful Australians
• Australians are furious fighters.
»re have given proof of their mettle
in countless thrashings administered
to tne Germans, but they are also
l><e many other high-spirited men it
other parts of the world averse tc
control and inclined to be restive ur
der discipline. Numerous stories ur
ruliness and flippancy toward supei
• iors among Australian soldiers have
drifted across the Atlantic. Here i?
one told in a letter by R. G. Russom
formerly of The New York Times An
Department, now a private in the
Australian forte? in England;
“Yesterday on parade the officer
numbered us off. The first man said
■one.' the second ‘two.' the third
•three,’ but when it got to ■ten' the
next man said ’jack.' the next 'queen.'
the two next said -kink’ and’aoe.' The
officer stopped the numbering and
said: ‘Fall out, the court cards!'
"That broke up the parade."
MUST HAVE MORE SHIPS
WASHINGTON.—Release in the
next forty days of 500.000 tonnage by
the War Department to the Shipping
Pcard as a means of relieving the
commercial shipping situation, pro
vided the board assumes certain con
tracts for the transportation of rna
teria's to Europe, was agreed upon at
a conference between Secretary Ba
ker. Chairman Hurley of the Ship
ping Board, and Senator? from the
cotton States.
Contracts for the construction of
550 vessels cf 2,701.000 deadweight
tons at an estimated cost value of
54X.000.000 have been cancelled by
the Snipping Board since the signing
of the armistice.
Contracts to be resumed by the
Shipping Board involve the transpor
tation to France for the next six
months of 300.0 freight cars, which
originally had been ordered for the

ins of the amistice were accepted by
> the French Government.
1 Mr. Hurley, in his report said that
the peak of the Shipping Board's con
: struction program was reached on
■ Sept. 1. and at that time it was felt
1 advisable to cut down on orders for
1 ships given during the war when the
Pca-d felt that "if defeat came be
cause we had too few ships, we
I could never be forgiven or excused."
Wooden ships were chiefly affected
by the earlier cancellations.
"Let me call your attention to the
: fact that the world's tonnage includ
ng the tonnage already delivered by
*he Fleet Corporation.” Mr. Hurley
said, 'is today 9.750.C00 deadweight
*cns short of the supplp of 1914. There
s tonnage of about 10.000.000 dead
weight now under construction by us.
There are said to be about 5.000,000
tons short of the supply of 1914. There
yards. The surplus to be expected in
1921. therefore, over the world's
‘914 tonnage hardly seems to allow
for more than what may be a norm I
expansion of overseas trade and a
growth in our own foreign business."
