(Copyright, 1920, Western Newspaper Union) Whee-ee-col Zlngl Dang I There I as right In tho middle of it. I thought 'he whole world was like thnt nnd I'm free to confess the first Impression was tnythlng but favorable. Those Zep pelins and their bombs were awfully Innoylng; they made me nervous. Fur thermore, a cellar is no placo In which to be born. It gives one such a wrong Mea of home. Of course, I know now It was the best plnco for safoty, but then 1 didn't have my present view point. That was about five years ago. JTcs, my entrance was quite dramatic. iou see, I camo just at tho wrong time, they were expecting tho roof to fall In It any minute and the atmosphere was hither strained. It wasn't at all tho Sort of welcome a new member of a family expects. But, after all, I hadn't much reason to complain. As soon ns the Germans look our town they stopped destroying 'touses. because they wanted to keep Iho city in good condition to live In after they had won the war. (I sup pose they are sorry now.) Even- nt that Ihey weren't pleasant people to have around. I was asleep when they first rnme to our house. I'd heard n bang ing outside, but didn't think anything if it and went on sleeping. All of a sud len some ono picked me up nnd ho was anything but gentle. I didn't like It ind I didn't like him, nnd I said so in wy plain nnd forceful language. My lungs and vocal cords wero simply vorn out afterward. I surely wns re lieved when my sister took mo away from him and I guess he was, too. But that was just tho beginning. When I saw another man In ono of those rat-colored costumes pull tho mattress off my crib and take out its ivool stufllng I wns mnd clear through. Vnd then 1 looked arouud nnd saw dioy were doing tho same thing to my Bother's bed. They took most of tho llankets, too. But what cmild wo do? My father wasn't there, because ho had fono somewhere else to fight and I vns the only man In the house. I had n-led kicking that German when ho first picked me up and I realized ho was too big for me to handle. We hoped that ono raid would bo 'he end of It, but It wasn't. Well, to The Way tho Germans snake n long story short, they camo another time and took all tho pretty Shiny copper and our doorknobs. They removed our big bronze chnndoilers and even the little hinges from the piano. We tried to hldo somo things, but they found all except a few door knobs and a couple of. candlesticks, then they camo again nnd took tho linen.'FInally they made a search for potatoes. After that, they visited us Dnce a week und seized whatever they had missed before. Honestly, I con cluded, they were going to tako the whole house and were moving It on the Installment plan. But they left the house Itself and whatever they didn't (vnnt In It, My mother wns awfully sad becauso rre didn't hear from father. Of course tve didn't have much to live on either. riio Germans wouldn't let nnyono have more than a little bit of bread i week and everything else wns just as scarce. I was always hungry and said so till I noticed mother was living me part of her share. I didn't make so much fuss after thnt. As to clothes well, as I grew, I had to havo now ones nnd we couldn't buy them becauso wo didn't hnve money nnd materials were terribly high-priced. Tho rest of tho family had worn out all tho things they had In the begin ning. My sister dyed somo blnnkcts we had hidden whenever tho Germans called and we mndo coats and other Clothes of them. Then at night wo put them over us to keep warm. Re lieve me there were somo queer cos tumes hero during tho war. As soon ns I learned to talk, I began getting Into trouble. One day I saw that German officer who hnd yanked mo out of bed when I wns Just now. I thought mnybo ho hadn't understood my former remnrks and so I mndo a few more. Ho reached for mo and I ran. At first he started to clmso me, but It jostled his dignity too much, and t was safe. J got Into ono scrape after mother and, sometimes when I was hungry, I couldn't run fast enough. Those men certainly know how to uo their swagger-sticks. I guess they must have practiced at home. "Jl-JWW-tn-SlSSwsMOSSVW VWV Y y "K ,a- M".iV ?wX5rfvTWSfjSQJ0SfcMt4SS'e"SBSSPlSlBBBBBBJfJBB I won't bother you with all the am talis of thosG four years. They weri mostly a monotony of nothing to tat and nothing to wenr. Everybody fell sorry for me because I was so young When the armistice was signed, we Just went crazy here. The first Uclgian soldier who rode Into town was car ried about on. people's shoulders till tho poor fellow wns worn out. We were terribly nnxlous to get rid of the Germans nnd. because they didn't leuvo fast enough to suit us, everyone wore little pins like brooms to show them we were going to sweep them out, If they didn't hurry. Suddenly my father camo home. 1 heard my mother call his name and nil the family ran Into tho hall where ho was and cvervono begun to cry and When Father Came Home. laugh and cry again. Of course, I hnd never seen him and, at first, I couldn't believe that the tall, thin man with hollow cheeks wns my father. To tell the truth, I felt rather out of place and embarrassed. So I hung around tho edgo of tho crowd till someone remembered me nnd I was presented to father. Frnnkly, I didn't Just know the proper way to greet him. Oi course ho was my father but, after nil Destroyed Homes. we wero practically strangers. The sensation was very queer. I think ha felt it too, for ho looked nt me curi ously. Wo got through the meeting somehow. Since then we'vo becomo better nqualntcd. You know, I don't seo how wo got nlong without him How nro things now? Well, wo havo more to cat and wo haven't tho Germans around nil the time. I surely wns glad when they stopped their weekly visits. But, of course, you've noticed wo haven't any doorknobs. Everything thnt was taken has to bo replenished. I heard the family talking when I was supposed to be asleep. Thoy said something nbout bills that had been run during the wnr. Father etoid ho was glad his credit had been good, but ho didn't know whether it would bo five years from now. I don't know pxnetly whnt ho meant. Mother told him thnt tho clothes wo'd made from tho binnkets were so worn that thoy wouldn't do for either clothes pr blnnk cts this winter. But my sister had boon downtown pricing tilings nnd It heems you can't buy wool clothes now for less than u fortune. Father said ho didn't seo how they wero going to get enough new machinery in plnco of that the Germans took from his fac tory to mnko the necessary fortune. Mother and my sister can't go out nt tho samo tlrao any more, becnuso of tho coat question. Father's things are i) ono too good. And just look nt these trousers I'm wearing I Aren't they a flight? They'ro too tight, too. If I don't get u new pair pretty soon, I'll just bo despernto. Tako It from me, I'm never going to bo born again during a war; I'll wait till It's all over and settled. All I could do was tako up room and food and clothing. And, nnyhow, It's no lit Introduction to life. Why, at first, when wo began to get more to eat, I was actually food-shy. I'm not fat enough yet, but, If I havo to wear these clothes much longer, I guets It's a good thing. Then, ns I said lo foro, It has knocked my disposition to smash and now I'll hnve to tuus a running jump t mako good.
