"Wonder if this has anything to do with the capture of the two Germans," said Roger.
"How could that be?" asked Iggy.
"Maybe there's some connection between them and the two spies we found in the cave," suggested Jimmy.
"Maybe," agreed Roger. "Well, we'll go see what's wanted, anyhow."
The messenger escorted them to a dugout where the captain of their company was stationed. He smiled as he saw the three, and then it dawned on the Khaki Boys that the matter could not be very serious.
"I sent for you to see if you could identify these two prisoners caught wearing German uniforms between our lines and the enemy's just now," said the captain. "They claim to know you."
He indicated two ragged, dirty youths in the characteristic uniform of the Kaiser's soldiers. They stood with their backs to Roger, Jimmy, and Iggy.
"Claim to know us!" exclaimed Jimmy. "I don't see how that can be."
"You don't!" cried one of the "Germans," as he wheeled about.
"Going back on us, are you?" yelled the other.
