A War
Masquerader
By DUDLEY CHADBOURNE
During the second year of the aw
ful world war I went to Canada and
enlisted there In the th Canadian
Infantry. In due time the regiment
was sent to Flanders and participated
In the fighting that resulted from the
German effort to occupy Calais. 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 promotion.
During the first great retreat of the
Germans—I mean the one of March,
1017—my regiment was among those
that were pushing the enemy us It
fell beck. One night, as 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, had been forced to
join the army and lujd been long
watching for an opportunity to Join
his own countrymen. lie wished to
enlist at once and flght 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,
lie seemed quite willing to do what
was required of him, but showed great
stupidity. He explained his inability
to understand our way of doing things
by saying that all he knew about mili
tary matters he had learned from Ger
man instructors.
UC course m sucu u^uuug »»«.«
taking plHce at the time there was
great disorder. Men were disappear
ing from the ranks every day, many
of them unaccounted for. I missed
Calkins, but did not learn whether he
had been killed or wounded or was
simply anion if the throng of missing.
My regiment, being on the extreme
south of the British line, would occa
sionally get mixed in the heut 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 of
French troops. I found myself retreat
ing by the side of a French soldier
who lookeu enough like Calkins to be
his twin brother. Being sure that he
was Calkins himself. I said to him:
"Hello, Calkins! I thought you were
dead."
He was about to reply when one of
his comrades said something to him,
to which he replied in the French lan
guage.
Here was a surprise—an uncouth,
stupid Yorkshire man who spoke
French. Considering that he had
come to us from the enemy. I at once
grew suspicious and would have warn
ed Ills French comrades against him
had there been any opportunity to do
so. Rut when heavy lighting Is going
on opportunities to do ordinary things
are not likely to occur. Before I could
say anything more to Calkins 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 that 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 a
Massachusetts Yankee who had been
caught in Germany when the war
brvke out had --onie through their lines
and had told of some ground they oc
cupied in which a 'mere corporal's
guard had been left to keep fires burn
ing while their comrades were retreat
ing. The general commanding had or
dered an attack made, under the Yan
kee's guidance, on this evacuated po
sition.
»» liue »c «<riv> .V/. ....... —
pose our guide was pointed out to me.
What was my astonishment to see
Calklus! It occurred to me that the
man, whether English, French or Yan
kee. was a Gorman 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
farmer. He had not noticed my ap
proach. and I suddenly called from be
hind him:
"Calkins!"
He turned, and, seeing me, all color
left his face.
"General," I said to the officer he
was talking to, "if you follow that
man to the enemy's lines you'll never
return."
I then gave an account how the man
had como in as a deserter from the
enemy, how he hnd enlisted in ipy
company, how he had pretended stu
pidity. Then I told of having met him
among the French. ..
Mr. Calkins, l'orkshireman, alias Mr.
Peabody, Yankee—I never heard his
French alias—was searched, and val
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
mr.titHi.
Neither side paid much regard to the
•trial of spies, and Sir. Calkins, who
uad been born In England of German
parents and afterward lived for years
:in Alsace, paid without undue cere
mony the penalty of the risk he took.
OFFERS GARDEN PRIZES.
Brooklyn Park Chief Encourages Cul
tivation of House Lots.
Park Commissioner Raymond V. In
gersoll of Brooklyn has announced
that his department will award thla
year prizes aggregating $100 for the
best vegetable gardens developed in
private house lots In the borough.
Concerning the promotion of garden
ing in Brooklyn the commissioner said:
"In the spring of 1914 the (lrst chil
dren's gardens were opened on park
property in Brooklyn. These have
been extended each year until this sea
son individual plots will be cultivated
and harvested by more than 1,800 chil
dren. So many Inquiries were made
at these gardens for advice about back
yard cultivation that last spring the
department opened four model back
yard gardens. Tills spring a fifth
model garden will be started on the
Myrtle aveuue plaza of Fort Greene
park.
"As a result of last spring's efforts,
though no prizes were offered, 700
actual back yard gardens were plant
ed. This year Park Commissioner In
gersoll offers one prize of §-~>, one of
$15, one of $10 and ton of $3 each In
the hope that general interest will be
further stimulated."
For Factory Sites.
The Portland (Me.) chamber of com
merce has worked out a very com
prehensive plan for industrial develop
ment in Portland, says the Town De
velopment Magazine. The chamber
has determined on ilie purchase of a
tract of fifty-two acres lying on the
railroad and in a particularly good
location for factory purposes. It Is pro
posed that the chamber form a stock
company with a capitalization of ap
proximately $25,000 to purchase and
develop the proposed factory site.
Two plans have been considered for
the disposition of the land. One pro
vides for disposing of portions of It by
sale to companies desiring factory loca
tions. Tlie other Is for the chamber to
improve it with streets, sewers, pipe
lines and the like and then rent it on
uinety-nine year leases to manufac
turers.
AGAINST FOOD HOARDING.
A national movement is getting
under way to prevent the hoard
ing of foo<l b.v householders as
well as by speculators. The
growing isndeucy to lay in large
supplier ot' fuodstuiTs iu antici
pation of a Inter shortage is re
sp >: sible for tl:e movement In
Chicago the nomemnkers' guild
is taking a lend In the undertak
ing and beginning a vigorous
campaign among housewives to
prevent the buying up and hoard
ing of food by a few. witll all its
attendant evils for the multitude.
!t is pointed out that a buying
'rush will seriously deplete pres
ent supplies and work n distinct
hardship on the community. The
effort is being made to have
American women as a patriotic
measure limit their buying to
present necessities.—Town Devel

Hob-nailed footwear for miners was the rule, too—until The B. F.
Goodrich Company made rubber boots and shoes with soles that Outwear
Stee/. Miners everywhere are finding that they do not have
to half-sole these wonderful boots and shoes—"_Hipress"
soles outwear the hobnails themselves.
These boots are MOLDED—just like the jj
famous Goodrich Automobile Tires—INTO v
ONE SOLID PIECE. They can't peel, or crack, }
or leak. "Hipress" is pure white in color and
has a "RedXine 'round theTop"to distinguish
it from all other footwear. Look for that "Red I
