weeks, across Belgium and Into France,
found themselves safe en Dutch soil today
after being held prisoners ny the Germans

spondent reached Rotterdam late last
night.
For tha last week tha party had been
under surveillance at Alx La, Chapelle,
whither they had been brought on a train
with prisoners from Beaumont, Belgium
Th party Included Roger Lewis, tha As

Tha party succeeded in marching along
with tha army, eom times In alght of
fighting, until Beaumont was reached.
Her tha Germans bad established tempo

Mlttendorfer. whose suspicions against
all newspaper men had been aroused by
a party of three correspondents picked
up th prevlou day, who represented
themselves ss Americans, although two
of them war Belgian. The trio were
taken to a Beaumont jail. The party In
cluded Gerbauld, Revens and Hennebeard
and the negro chauffeur. All were ar
rested for photographing and traveling
in an automobile which unlawfully car
ried a Red Cross flag.
Tha American party was allowed to
spend tha night on tha stone floor of a,
Belgian school house which had been
converted Into a barracRs for the Ger
man troops. Th correspondents ware
courteously treated by the soldiers, who.
after the day'a thirty-mlla march, sang,
danced and otherwise entertained them
royally until midnight The next day th
Americana were kept waiting In the pub

After being repeatedly told that they
were not prisoner th American were
locked up with th three' ether corre

The Jail waa filthy and on alda waa
tacked with tone of Oerman high ex
plosive a rather uncomfortable situa
tion, In view of the fact that other pris
oners were constantly lighting cigarettes
under (over of their straw bedding.
After a short incarceration, tha Amer
icans, through the klndnesa of a German
lieutenant, war removed to h small cafe
adjoining th prison, where later they
were followed by the three other sus
pects who were th causa of their deten

For two night they slept on the floor
under a heavy guard and still told that
they were not prisoners, but, warned that
they would t shot If they moved one

given their word of honor that they
would not attempt to escape their guards
waa doubled. No food waa supplied the
prisoners, their only sustenance being a
bottle of wine.
During their Imprisonment the Ameri
cana received an alarming visit from an
Intoxicated German officer, who called
them Kngltsh spies and Insisted on giving
convincing demonstrations of the sharp,
neas of his sword when he heard English
spoken.
Finally one night the Americana were
taken with a hundred French and a hun
dred English prisoners to a prison train,
tha destination of which was unknown.
They were asked politely enough by the
German officers to walk alongside the
prisoners and act aa guards. At tha same
time the offlcera said In an aside to tha
German guard: "Keep your eyea open
on thoaa Americans. If they move or
atep from th rank shoot them."

The train, carrying beside tha prison

a two days' slow Journey. All olgbt of
tha correspondent! were packed into, a
aingla second clasa compartment without
food or drink, and at the mercy of Bel
gian anlprrs, who frequently fired from

arrived at Alx La Chapelle carefully

"At the same time one cannot withhold
