P R|SONE RS DIE
BY THE THOUSANDS
Publisher Says 80 Per Cent of
Men in Siberia
Will Die.

International News Service:
VIENNA. March 31.-"Less than
80 per cent OF the hundreds Of
thousands of German and Austro-
Hungarian soldiers and civilians who
have been carried to Siberia will re-
turn alive after the war is over"
This positive statement was mace
by DIR. Friedrich Meyberg, publish
er Of Lemberg, who recently return
ed to his native town after 10
months of terrible suffering in a
prison camp at Shiganska on the
Lena in northern Siberia.
With many other prominent citi-
zens of Lemberg DR.. Meyberg was
they took possession of the Galician
capital in the first stages of the war
Early in February of last year he
reached Jakutsk, with several thous-
and other prisoners. From there ne
and his fellow sufferers were sent
north over the frozen Lena 10 Shi-
banska, a distance OF about 800
miles, in a temperature often 80 de-
grees below zero. Many of the poor
ly clad prisoners died from exposure
on the way and hundreds of them
were sick when they reached their
destination.
There were about 1000 prisoners
in the camp on the Lena" the pub
Usher says Their lot was awful.
They received only scant supplies
and there was no medical care for
the sick and wounded.
About 20 of the unfortunates died
daily during the months of April
and May and matters became still
worse when the terrible Siberian
summer began. An epidemic of ty-
phoid and swamp fever broke out
and the death rate was more than
doubled.
I'm August conditions beanie a
little better, but up to Oct. 1 when
l at last received notice that my ex-
change had been agreed upon and
I was started on my way TO Jakutsk
and Europe. over 5000 Of the pris-
oners had died.
Fifteen hundred others were in a
hopeless condition and I fear that
few OF them are alive today.
And Siganska is not the worst
hell in Siberia" Dr. Meyberg says in
conclusion. From prisoners whom
I met on my journey to the Rou-
manian frontier learned that con-
ditions are still worse in some Of the
other prison camps. 1 repeat that
when the war ends and the ex-
change of prisoners begins. it will be
found that not 30 per cent OF the
soldiers and civilians sent to Siberia
are alive"

Stamp Taxes Abandoned.

Plans for imposing stamp taxes on
manufactured tobacco, liquors, beer,
gasoline and other articles. Mr.. kitchin
said, had been definitely abandoned. He
declared the plan of taxation decided
on would affect only those best able to
pay the levy. falling exclusively on the
wealthy and on foreign nations en-
gagged in war.
The big preparedness revenue meas
ures will not be introduced in Congress
until after the conventions. Between
now and that time the speeding up
campaign inaugurated recently will be
continued with a view to disposing of
all other business by early July, if
possible.
