PRISONER TELLS
HOW HE ESCAPED.
Gives Idea of Conditions in War
Countries,
PETKOGKAD, March 22.—Erie
.Carlson, a Finnish skipper, arriving
in Pttrograd gives the following
strange account of escape from th*‘
Germans.
“1 was taken prisoner of war at
the same time that my small schooner,
which carried granite >ut of Abo was
confiscated by the Germans in Vismar.
My crew and myself were told that
we might have the privilege of loos
ing ary town in Germany wherein to
spend our captivity, providing it wiu>
sixty kilometers away from the sea.
I chose a town futther inland than
any of nr.y sailors, figuring that would
throw the Germans otf my guard and j
give me a better chance to escape.
"As soon as I was taken into the
regular train leaving Vismar a very
simple plan of escape' occurred to me.
While the guards were busy getting
supper, which was passed in through
the windows of the train by some j
friendly peasant at the first stop out
side of Vismar, I crawled through the
opposite window and ran perhaps two
miles back to the locks. The night
was dark and although I heard voices
I saw no one noticed me. On the
docks I found that a pile of my own
granite had been dumped and finding
a rude sort of tunnel under this I
sqeezed myself into it, where I wa?j
cramped and uncomfortable, but
where I was safe for the time at least.
"As soon as it was light I jumped
into the water. It was cold as ice,1
but I managed to pull myself out and
roosted for an hour or twe on a beam
under the dock. Then I saw a Swed- j
ish ferry from Trellehog coming to :
ward the pier. I swam out to meet
her. I was seen by a Swedish stew ard
who was dumping a pan of ashes over
board. He threw me a rope to which
l clung. I told him who I was and
asked him to let me hide under a
tarpaulin that covered a lifeboat. He
agreed to this and helped me get on
| board. 1 lay in the boat shivering in
my drenched clothes while the ferry
came to the dock, underwent inspec
tion by German officers and then put
off again for Trelleborg, where I was
safe."

Representative John Noon was;
complaining that although Senator
Rav and he were from Seward the
latter received more mileage two
years ago than had been allowed Mr.
Noon this year. The chair tried to
console Mr. Noon with, the remark
that Mr. Ray had beer, president of
the Senate. “I know he had more
weight,” Mr. Noon declared, but the
members refused to concur in that
statement. During the mileage con
troversy Martin Moran, Arctic Circle
member, said that “the fellow who
measured the last 400 miles of my.
trip made it pretty short ”—Alaskan
