THE DRAGON, 1919 Class Prophecy T was the summer of 1929. The Great YVar was slowly drawing to a close. The Germans had been driven back to the Rhine defenses, and our guns were now engaged in hammering away at them. I was sitting in the doorway of my dugout, smoking and reminiscing of by-gone days, when our officer came along and told us to get ready to go over the top. 'We were all excited and nervous-waiting for the signal. It came at last, and we swept over the German trenches as a flood sweeps over the land. We left nothing standing-everything was wiped out in our victorious advance. VVe had driven about ten miles into the German lines, and were taking prisoners by the hundreds. Imagine my surprise when, on passing a wounded German officer, I recognized one of my classmates, Otto Brandau. At first I was not allowed to speak to him, but after I told my superior officer who he was he permitted me to speak to him, warning me, however, of the penalty I would have to pay if I let him escape, as he was a big prize. He and I then went into an uninhabited dugout and talked over our past school days. I learned from him he had come over to Germany to study con- structing engineering, and that the German Government had seized him and put him in the Imperial Army. I-le had fought in various battles, had been promoted to be a colonel, and had been awarded the Iron Crosses of the First and Second Orders for his bravery and for his knowledge of warfare. I-le went on to tell me how he had often met Alu Aschemeier, who was also in the German Imperial Army. He had been awarded different medals for bravery and had fought on several fronts. The last he had heard of him was that he had been shot for disobeying orders. As Brandau was wounded, I got permission to go to the hospital back of the lines to have the wounds treated. While I was looking about the hospital who should l meet but Xlartin Bayly and his old chum and crony, klohn liggen. liayli' and lflggCI1 had both studied engineering after leaving Xlcllonogh, and had made quite a name for themselves. Bayly had been promoted to :1 captaincy 29
