BRITISH PRISONERS
ACCUSE THE GERMANS
Brutally Treated. According to Re-
port Made Public by En-
bassy Here.

| Charges that British prisoners being
transported from the battle front to
detention camps have been treated with
brutality by German officers were made
public at the British embassy here last
might This is based on the report OF
major of the Scottish Rifles who es-
caped from prison at Crefeld. His re-
port also has been put into the hands
| OF Ambassador Page by the foreign
office in London.
| The officers statement declares that
| from the time he was captured at La
Basse. the 18th of December, until he
reached Crefeld he was submitted to
continual abuse and revilement," tina t
his greatcoat was taken from him and
that he, like those who made the trip
with him. arrived at their destination
after being starved and confined for
three days and nights
Travel in Horse Car.
A large part of the journey. he says,
was made in a closed car used for the
transportation of horses, filed with
filth and with so little ventilation that
it was almost asphyXiating. Fifty
two men and five officers. he asserted,
were submitted to these conditions for
thirty hours, with no food.
According to the major. the British
prisoners were treated much less con-
sideratley than the French, and in one
case, he states, the English were given
only the scant remnants of the pro-
visions after the French had finished.
One British officer, the report declares,
was spat upon by German officer.
Irish Refuse Favors.
According to the report. one prisoner.
an Irishman, told a story of having
been called to gathering of his COM
patriots and told by the commandant that
the emperor knew of the down trodden
condition of Ireland, and that the Irish
were therefore to be transported to a
better camp and given better treat
ment and food than the English re-
ceived. The soldier said the Irish SOL
diers refused to accept this offer and
remained with the English.
In concluding his statement the
major characterizes German transpor-
tation conditions as brutal in the eX
treme, and adds that evidence COL
lected at Crefeld shows that officers and
men have been killed after capture"

Murdoch Explains Defeat.
Representative Victor Murdoch of
Kansas pointed out that there is dis
tinct return to reactionary thought
throughout the country and urged all
radical thinkers ito stick tight" until
the country should have aroused itself
from the "stand-pat stupor."
He also laid part Of the blame for his
defeat and the defeat of other progress
sive candidates for Office in the recent
election to the door of n purely polit-
zeal motive: that is, the desire of many
of the people Ito take whack at the
democrats by insuring the defeat OF
that party even at the expense of low
ering the strength of the progressive
movement.
This Congress is reactionary enough

hut do not get the idea that 1t is a
matter of control by special interests.
I can see a distinct wave of conserva-

this country, but the entire world.
Getting What They Want
The people are getting exactly what
they want from Congress, and they are
getting the kind of newspapers they
want. The minute they want change
they will get that change. To use
quotation from Uncle Joe Cannon, the
pendulum swings both ways and there
will be a distinct advance in thought
and action as soon as this, conserva-
tism is shaken off. There is not the
slightest use in looking for radical ac-
tion now from the President or from
Congress or from the people or from
the newspapers. / think that the Euro
pean war is the greatest piece of reac-
ton in history. for it mocks the thought
of universal brotherhood; but my idea
is that the war will not last long, and
that when 1t is over there will be
rebo,1nd toward better things.
