35724	Have you ever tried to live in a room in which five or six fret- saws are working for hours at a time?

27229	("What are you doing there?").
27229	But then what is one to do?

27229	Now what about the Cambrai officer''s question,"Why do you call us Huns?"

27229	To what was it due?

27229	Vaguely I wondered what it could be?

27229	Whereupon he snapped,"What, you say that the commandant''s note is useless?
27229	With a sinking heart I slowly made out the letters B-- R-- I-- E. Was it necessary to read any further?
27229	_ Why, indeed?_ The German captain nearly always took roll call.
50425	Can any of you play?
50425	Do you see that ravine?
50425	First, however, could we have some water to drink? 50425 Have you any gold?"
50425	Have you good news of him?
50425	Of what value are such things to me? 50425 And why did they not report our presence when they went ashore? 50425 And would he desert his post even if he did hear? 50425 But what of the men who had none? 50425 Conversation was turning to lighter subjects, when it was interrupted by the entrance of another chance(?) 50425 Could the plash of the water lapping against the sides of the creek have muffled the sound of the rattling chain? 50425 Did they know such and such a place? 50425 Had they rifles and revolvers? 50425 How had we managed to escape? 50425 It is merely his method of temporarily soothing your feelings, and is not this of the essence of politeness? 50425 Johnny was very contemptuous,--didn''t the man know that it was a specially good Magyar button, and one of the latest pattern? 50425 RECAPTURED? 50425 RECAPTURED? 50425 Should not its rulers be taught such a lesson that it would be impossible for those of future generations to forget it? 50425 They asked,Who are you?
50425	Was it friend or foe?
50425	We did not answer, so they said,"Are you foreigners that you do n''t understand Turkish?"
50425	Were these from villages, or were they shepherds''fires?
50425	Were they discovered?
50425	What if that country so fails to grasp the responsibility that its prisoners are allowed to die by neglect?
50425	What offers for the job?
50425	Where are you going?"
50425	Where had they come from in Austria?
50425	Where, meantime, was the anchor?
50425	Whom did they take us for?
50425	Would the sentry hear Pat calling?
50425	Would they show him the revolvers?
50425	and"Why hiding?"
42490	But do n''t you think that this is hardly the proper time or occasion to talk of compensation? 42490 Drop me a line when you get to Berlin, will you?"
42490	How did you ever get away?
42490	How many millions of pounds will he want for his trouble?
42490	Mrs. O''Brien, did Pat write you how many German prisoners he brought back with him?
42490	Remember me to your friends, will you? 42490 Well, O''Brien,"he asked, as he entered the room where I was awaiting him,"what do you say?
42490	Well, if I ca n''t serve in France, sir,I suggested,"would n''t it be feasible for me to fly in Italy or Salonica?"
42490	Well, what do you want me to do? 42490 Were you treated any worse by the Germans, Leftenant,"he asked,"on account of being an American?
42490	When shall we see you again?
42490	Who are you?
42490	Why, my dear man,I said, smilingly, thinking that perhaps he was joking,"you do n''t really mean that, do you?"
42490	You want me to get to Holland, do n''t you? 42490 You''re an officer, are n''t you?"
42490	Am I not right?"
42490	Ca n''t you fix it so that we can be similarly treated, or be transferred at least to a second- class compartment?"
42490	Can it be possible that I was spared to convey a message of hope to others who are destined for similar trials?
42490	Did the Huns get him?
42490	Did you find that to be the case?"
42490	Do n''t you think it is fairer that you should risk your own safety rather than place the lives of three innocent men in danger?"
42490	Has he landed at some other aerodrome?
42490	Has he lost his way?
42490	How can I arrange to get it to you?
42490	How much do you expect in the way of compensation?
42490	If I could n''t get over it, what was the matter with getting under it?
42490	Is n''t that fair enough?"
42490	Once when I looked over in his direction his eyes were on me and to my surprise he said, very sarcastically,"What the hell are you looking at?"
42490	Suppose I should run into a German sentry before I succeeded in getting one?
42490	Suppose the soldier had questioned me?
42490	The way it has come to me since I returned from Europe is: If, O Lord, I was_ not_ to be done for, What were my sufferings e''er begun for?
42490	Was it possible that I could be fortunate enough to get by again?
42490	What of it?"
42490	What was the use of further suffering when I would probably be captured in the end, anyway?
42490	What were the chances of escape?
42490	Who are you?"
42490	Why do n''t you go out by yourself and buy your food at the stores?
42490	Will you go?"
42490	Will you let me see it?"
42490	Will you sign the order or not?"
42490	Wo n''t you make this coward leave me, North Star?
42490	Would he try to steal a march on me and get in a first word to the authorities, so that my story would be discredited when I put it to them?
34421	And yet,he said,"all Englishmen say that Turks are barbarians, do n''t they?"
34421	Are we in Switzerland?
34421	Are you going to try to escape again from me?
34421	But how could a railway be there?
34421	Did the General speak politely?
34421	Escaped prisoners, are you?
34421	Have you got any papers?
34421	Is it quite hopeless?
34421	Now?
34421	Of course not,I said,"why spend money unnecessarily?
34421	Sofort aus dem Bureau gehen?
34421	Then you do not now think the Turks barbarians?
34421	Wer kommt dann hier?
34421	What about the garrison?
34421	Why do you say that?
34421	Why wo n''t you give us wine?
34421	( Straight on to Anrath?)
34421	( Will you go out of the bureau?)
34421	(_ b_) Was it desirable from a military or political point of view?
34421	Again then, where were we?
34421	Are you there?
34421	As we were going in, an Englishman in a beard passed by the side of me saying,"Have you anything to hide?"
34421	At one place where there was a level crossing a man came to open the barrier, so I took the initiative and said,"Nach Anrath gerade aus?"
34421	At that moment a Frenchman, Commandant Collet, rushed up to me and said,"Did you see what happened?"
34421	Both start shouting simultaneously:"Why wo n''t you give us wine?"
34421	But how could it be otherwise, since for the last fortnight I had been in close contact with people who live year in and year out covered with lice?
34421	But what was Oswego?
34421	But why did the Germans never shoot?
34421	Had I bribed the sentry?
34421	He answered our salute very politely, taking no notice of our undress uniform, and turning to the Commandant, said,"Sie waren in dem Tunnel gefangen?"
34421	He suggested that the Somme was an expensive failure, so I said,"What about Verdun?"
34421	He was a big heavy built fellow, and as he walked quickly up to me he said,"Who are you?
34421	However,"What does it matter?"
34421	I called out to them in German,"Is this Barzheim?"
34421	I must have shown my surprise, for she said,"Why, do n''t you believe me?"
34421	I said to Buckley, and he nodded, so I leant across and said to the sentry,"Wir wollen essen; wollen Sie etwas nehmen?"
34421	I took no notice of this hint, but said,"Could you kindly tell me if this is the Dutch frontier just here?"
34421	One of these threw open a window as we were passing, and asked us who we were and where we were going--"Nach Pfullendorf?
34421	Perhaps some Frenchman would call out to an Englishman,"Savez- vous combien de prisonniers Bosches les Anglais out pris hier?"
34421	Should we be eligible to fight against the Germans?
34421	Should we lie up where we were and try to get across the next night?
34421	The question was,"Is this the valley we are looking for?"
34421	The question which really was causing us some anxiety was,"Would the ice bear?"
34421	Then he brightened up and said,"Why not give me your parole not to escape till Clausthal; it will be so much more comfortable?"
34421	Was it Riedheim?
34421	What are you doing here?"
34421	What shall I do?"
34421	What we had to consider was--(_a_) Was it possible?
34421	What would you do here?
34421	and if you got out, where would you escape to?"
34421	he said,"when you went to the lavatory?"
50970	Are you akin to David Hepler?
50970	Boys,he continued,"supposing it should become necessary for us to separate into two squads, how''ll we divide?"
50970	But just now, where did you come from just now?
50970	Can it be that they have been caught?
50970	Can it be,said Smith,"that Averill''s cavalry are on a raid through here?"
50970	Has n''t any one been to mill?
50970	He lived in Cincinnati, did he, and belonged to Company-------- Regiment, Ohio Volunteers?
50970	How about the keys; do n''t the whites get up and unlock?
50970	How many were there in the squad?
50970	O, one or two,answered Childs,"but they were in a hurry, and did n''t stay long?"
50970	We do n''t have to stand picket in the night- time; we do n''t have to march, skirmish, and frequently fight in the night- time, I suppose?
50970	Well, this is Lewis''s house, is it?
50970	What do you want?
50970	What does this mean?
50970	What''s your name?
50970	Where is Lewis?
50970	Why do n''t you get up, then?
50970	You did n''t say any thing about us, then?
50970	As I was sitting next him, he took hold of my pants at the knee, and inquired rather roughly,"Where do you belong?"
50970	As he neared the shore on which we stood we asked,"Are you a brother- in- law to Alderman?"
50970	As he was endeavoring to gain the shelter of the bushes the woman noticed him shying off and asked,"What are you afeared of?"
50970	As he was staring at us, we accosted him with,"How are you, old fellow?"
50970	As it was also half inquisitive, the woman answered that there was a company of soldiers not far off, and asked,"An''t you one of''em?"
50970	As soon as we were at leisure he asked,"Are you the boys that came in from prison two days ago?"
50970	At the same moment we halted, and Sutherland put his hand to his mouth and asked if any whites were about?
50970	Did those who had not finished dinner, now finish it?
50970	Giving each of us a hearty shake of the hand, he said,"I know where you are from; will you have some coffee?"
50970	He refused to even get out of bed, whereupon Sutherland demanded,"Shall we burst your door down?"
50970	He then put his mouth to the string- hole and asked,"Is any body at home?"
50970	If asked why so?
50970	It was the 30th of March, after we had dressed ourselves anew, when Smith came to me in Lytle Barracks, saying,"Where''s Wood and Sutherland?"
50970	On seeing us, Wood approached, saying to the negro,"Where did you come from?"
50970	Since we had already traveled twenty miles without rest or sleep, the question was, Can we reach the picket- post by dark?
50970	Smith then asked,"Did n''t that man at Camp Reynolds say that Phillips did business near the Public Landing?"
50970	Sutherland then asked,"Did you ever see or hear of any Yankee prisoners escaping through here before?"
50970	Sutherland then asked,"Smith, where is Taylor?
50970	Sutherland then said,"I wonder where Davis and Tige are by this time?"
50970	The man said,"That rests with you,"and inquired,"Who are you, and where are you going?"
50970	The query then arose, shall we hide in the open woods on our left, or in the inclosed woods on our right?
50970	Was supper prepared?
50970	Was there time for coffee?
50970	We continued talking with Childs, however, and Smith said to him,"I suppose you have n''t reported us, have you?"
50970	We pressed on, however, and in the course of an hour we met a man of whom we asked,"How far is it to the pickets?"
50970	When we were ready to leave the river this question arose: what shall we do with our canoe-- tie it up or allow it to float down the river?
50970	Wood, addressing the largest of the men, asked,"Your name is Lewis, I suppose?"
50970	an''t he coming?"
50970	and Wood added,"and come in and burst your noggin?"
50970	dat so?"
12880	Are there many women in Canada-- women in every house-- like here?
12880	But,said Lena,"what do they do in house-- when bread is made and dish- wash?"
12880	Do you think it will be over soon?
12880	How are the folks at home?
12880	How long shall I be there?
12880	Is it well?
12880	My country-- is it well?
12880	What are the flags up for?
12880	What are you?
12880	What did you do to it?
12880	What good would books be to me in this black hole?
12880	What reason had we? 12880 What time is it?"
12880	Who are you?
12880	Why?
12880	Did I not like girls?
12880	Did he by any chance know a boy from Vancouver called Wallen Gordon, who had been"Missing"since the 2d of June, 1916?
12880	Did they get enough to eat?
12880	Did they get their parcels?
12880	Do you hear of any who did?"
12880	Have you got any?"
12880	Have you the rings?
12880	He came to me and said,"Well, what have you got?"
12880	He fairly danced at his work after that, and when I saw him afterwards, he eagerly asked--"My country-- is it well?"
12880	He looked thin and worried, and, as usual, the questions were put to us--"Why did we want to leave?"
12880	He walked over to the gendarme and glared in his face,--"What do I want to get back for?"
12880	How were they treated?
12880	I said--"what things?
12880	It took time, of course, but what was time to us?
12880	Lena had heard women worked in the house, and not outside, in Canada-- was it true?
12880	No?
12880	Of course, we all knew we were taking a grave risk, but then, why should n''t we?
12880	Or Reg Black from Manitou?
12880	The Russians were scurrying out like scared rabbits, but the British, not so easily intimidated, were asking,"What''s the row?"
12880	The gendarme at last broke out into English, cutting his words off with a snarl:"What do you fellows want to get back for anyway?
12880	The possession of a compass is an indication that the subject of"escaping"has been thought of, and the question,"Have you a compass?"
12880	Then came the moment of tense anxiety.... Would he lock me in?
12880	Then he asked me what did Canada hope to get out of the war?
12880	Then, after a few minutes''conference-- Had I a girl?
12880	This is the form in which the question came:"You have no girl, but you say you like girls; is n''t it all right to have a girl?"
12880	Was Fanny my girl?
12880	Was I married?
12880	Was it the food, or was it because we had to work?"
12880	We asked him if there was any danger of our being interned?
12880	We did not enjoy the notoriety very much, but the guard enjoyed it immensely, for was he not the keeper of two hardened and desperate men?
12880	We were asked our names, ages, previous occupation, when captured, and the most important questions of all,"Why were we fighting against Germany?"
12880	Wer da?"
12880	Were they very lonely?
12880	What if they were burnt on the outside?
12880	What matter if I never saw it again?
12880	What spite have you and I at each other?"
12880	What_ do_ they understand?"
12880	When he came in, he blew his breath in the frosty air, and asked,"Kalt?"
12880	Who do you know that has got away?
12880	Why go to England?
12880	Why had n''t I a girl?
12880	Why had n''t I thought to put sugar in it when I mixed it up?
12880	Would we sign a paper-- he asked us then-- to show this?
12880	and,"Why did we want to leave Germany?"
12880	is the prison- camp way of saying,"What do you think of making a try?"
12880	or Garnet Stewart from Winnipeg?
12880	or what?
