A War
Masquerader
By DUDLEY CHADBOURNE
During the second year of the aw
ful world war 1 went to Canada and
enlisted there In the th Canadian
Infantry. In due time the regiment
was sent to Flanders and participated
in the lighting that resulted from the
German effort to occupy Qalalk I
was early made a noncommissioned
officer and by the beginning of the
third year of the war commanded my
company. This was due to the fact
that the officers were killed off and I
was in line for promotloa.
During the first great retreat of the
Germans—I mean the one of Hatch,
11» 17—my regiment was among those
that were pushing the enemy as It
fell back. One night, ofi we were
hanging on the German rear, out of
the darkness came a man, running for
dear life, followed by shots from the
eastward. After getting Into our lines
and recovering breath from his run he
told us In broad Yorkshire dialect that
he had been living In Germany when
the war opened, hqd been forced to
jotn the army and had been long
watching for an opportunity to Join
hia own countrymen. He wished to
enlist at once and fight for the allied
cause.
I reported the case to headquarters
and was directed to enlist the man in
my company. I did so. and he Joined
us under the name of George Calkins.
He seemed quite willing to do what
was required of him, but showed great
Htupidlty. He explained his inability
to understand our way of doing things
by saying that all he knew about miD
tnry matters he had learned from Ge'r
Of course in such fighting aa vu
taking place at the time there was
great disorder. Men wero disappear
ing from the ranks every day, many
of them unnceountod for. I missed
Calkins, but did cot loam whether he
had been killed or wounded or mi
simply among the throng of missing.
M.v regiment, being on the extreme
south of the British line, would occ«-i
sloually get mixed In the heat of bat
tle with the French troops. One day
when one of our many attacks on the
Germans had been repulsed and we
were being driven back in some disor
der, mingling with a number ofj
French troops. I found myself retreat
ing by the side of a French soldier
who looked enough like Calkins to be
his twin brother. Being sure that he
was Calkins himself, I said to him:
"Hello, Calkins! I thought yon were
dead."
He was about to reply when one trf
his comrades said something to him,
to which he replied in the French laa
guage.
Here was a surprise—an ujveoutfe,
stupid Yorkshire man who spoke
French. Considering that he had
come to us from the enemy, I at onoe
grew suspicious and would have warn
ed lils French comrades against him
had there been any opportunity to do
so. But when heavy fighting la trolng
on opportunities to do ordinary things
are not likely to occur. Before I could
suy anything more to Oalklns or to
any one about him, presto, a force
from the rear was pushed forward to
cover our retreat! We were gathered
in and shoved toward the enemy.
The next time I crossed Calkins'
path was one night when word was
passed tbat the brigade to which my
regiment belonged was about to attack
a weak spot In the German army. It
was reported to the officers that ft
Massachusetts Yankee who had beec
caught In Germany when the war
broke out had r-ome through their lines
and bad told of some ground they oc
cupied In which ft mere corporal's
guard had been left to keep fires burn
ing while their comrades were retrest
ing. The general commanding had or
dered an attack made, under the Yan
kee's guidance, on tNa evacuated po
While we were forming for the pur
pose our guide was pointed out to'm*.
What was my astonishment to see
Calkins! It occurred to me that tb*
man, whether English, French or Yan
kee, was a German spy and was about
to lead us Into a trap I approached
him and heard him speaking to the offi
cer who was to lead the attack, and
he used the dialect of a Massachusetts
fanner. He had not noticed my ap
proach, and I suddenly called from bo
hind him:
"Calkins r
He turned, and, seeing me, til color
left his face.
"General," I said to the officer be
was talking to, "If you follow that
man to the enemy's lines yotall never
return." • r'~ ''' • • " ■* ■
I then gave an account how the man
bad com* in as a deserter from the
enemy, how he had enlisted In t&y
company, bow he had pretended gttv
pldlty. Then I told of having met him
among the French.
Mr. Calklne, YorksMreman, aha* Mr.
Peabody, Yankee—I never beard his
French ellas—was searched, and ral
uable Information as to the allied ar
mies was found on his person. It was
his Intention to lead us to attack what
proved to be one of the enemy's strong
est positions. He had within ten days
been serving with several different ar
mies of the allies and had returned at
least once to the Germans with Infor
mation. '
Neither side paid much regard to the
trial of spies, and Mr. Calkins, who
bad been born In England of German
parents and afterward lived for years
in Alsace, paid without undue cere
■ tnony the penalty of the risk he took.

—that sole of "Hipress"—the won
derful rubJber footwear that's
molded in one solid piece.
"Hipress" is made by the new
High Pressure Process — a Good
rich invention and the greatest im
provement of footwear making of
the century.
This process Jeaves the rubber in
the finished boot springy—live—
flexible. The sole bends freely and
comfortably with your foot. Yet
this rubber is so everlastingly tough
that it Actually Outwears Steel!
That means no more half-soles
and hobnails—no more repair bills!
Be sure to get the genuine. Look
