THE CSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, MAY 19, 1928 onster Conservative Picnic to be Held in Oshawa in J uly BREMEN PILOT PRISONER IN WAR Captain Koehl Subject of Story in This Role Recently Published Captain Herman Koehl, pilot of he Bremen, in the role of leading pirit in a vain attempt to escape a number of German officers from a prison camp in France is he subject of an article recently published by the Munchener Neus ste Nachrichten. This story, ap- parently was written by a fellow- prisoner and it runs as follows: "At the time of the lively pring battles of 1918, when every. hing was running under high pres- ure on the western front, there was delivered one evening to tne officers' prison camp at Montoire, lin the heart of France, a Wurtem- berg Captain. of Engineers, "At. least that's what he looked like. He was escorted by a small detachment of Frenchmen, with fix. ed bayonets, There had to be a ittle comedy too, Before the Ger- nan officer could enter the barbed- wire enclosed courtyard, with its rcomfortless barracks and horse sta- bles, he must go through the of- ice of the interpreter, There each jerman officer was searched for articles that might aid in an at- tempt to escape and was catechized bout his personal and service af- fairs. The armed guards sat along the wall, The interpreter, an elder. y captain, inquired about the pri- oner's height and the number of | leven the lamps gradually went out, his children, A Bombing Aviator Arrives "After this formality, the new rrival entered the prisoners' quar- ters. A number of eager prisoners vere already lined up against the harbed-wire fence in expectation of meeting a possible regimental omrade or of getting the latest ews from the German front, But his time somebody quite unusual rrived, One saw a short, strongly uilt man, with clearly cut fea- tures and with the order of Pour le Merite around his neck, It was oon learned that he was a homb- ling aviator named Koehl, "He was shown inta his box, a 4 hy 6 meter room, with a field cot, chair, a table and a small burean f the most primitive sort. With nany other German officers of all ranches of the service, he had to ive in the hig stables of a former reeding farm. "At 'this time the prisoners of Barrack L 8 were husy with a plan o escape, A number of them who mould ngt hecome reconciled to rison life: and. preferred to e in the German trenches or fight. ng in the air were enzaged in aig- ging a tunnel in order to gain their reedom by an wnderground. route, fter repeated attempts, they had ecome convinced of the impossi- ility of getting through the donhle ines of wire and past the piekets. Jonsequently, the road must he inderground, It was estimated hat one would have to tunnel from fifteen to twenty meters. "Koeh] at once became the lead- r of the committee on flight. A hort, wide plank was neatly re- noved from the floor under a hed- ktead and a bag of sand was fas- ened to the under side so thar ine 'renchmen, 'in tapping the floor, vould not have their suspicions aroused hy a hollow sound, "Then the working hours were Fixed. Some prisoners stood watch, others had to carry bags of and and still others had to toll underground.

And so one scratched out the nard gravel with an iron leg of a edstead or a can, loaded it onto little sledge and dragged it back- ard to the foot of the shaft, where t was put into tiny sacks and hoist. pd up. Then it was distributed in A Telephone Company to Spend $35, 000 on the windy Belleville Line all sorts of places--under the floor that lay a little higher, in the roof raflers that could only be reached through the ceiling, in watering cans out to the humus covering of the garden. "After nine meters had been dug the rear part of the gallery fell in while a man was working at the head end. He was biirfed alive. There was a fever of activity and after wild digging his feet were reached. Soon he was dragged out unconscious. He came to himself and lay on the bed while others were already at work bracing ap the passageway against further cave-ins. After an hour's rest the near-victim was again doing his bit with the others, "There surely were plenty of mining engineers and underground construction experts for the job, All the cross-pleces and back parts of the closets and table drawers were used, but the fronts were left untouched, so that the French would not get suspicious, In short, everything available was used. The only teols were table knives, And the work went slowly. "Many a day the advance was not a quarter of a meter. 'I'he tool-makers constructed tiny min ing lamps out of tin cans, for there were no candles to be had, and, as after a long period of tunneling 1t became difficult to breathe and it became necessary to build an air- pump out of water pails placed upside down, Its piston, which was pierced with air holes, was held firm while a worker moved its eyl- indér up and down, The air was carried to where the digger, was at work through pipes stolen from the heaters. "Captain Koeh] at Work "And Koehl worked with the now as digger, now as dirt carrier, now as watchman, "There was a roll-call every day at a fixed time, At a signal from the trumpeter the watch turned out under arms, a guard was placed at every door and the officer of the guard read over the names of the captive officers, either before the rooms or in the yard.

Thousands of vacancies, the officers said, had been reported. Likelihood of an earlier commen- cement of seeding operations is generally conceded in the West, they added, and unless immigration continues at its present high peak the opening of operations on the land may find western farmers shorthanded. As the result of a conference be- tween members of fhe Sheep Breeders' Association, financial representatives and members of the Winnipeg and Brandon Boards of Trade, a movement is under way for the placing of 100.000 an- nually on Manitoba farms. These will be sold in groups of fifty to each farmer, somewhat similar to the plan now im operation in North Dakota. J. D. McGregor was ap- pointed temporary chairman of a committee to make further arran- gements for the carrying out of this plan.
