WAkEEIELDSSAY GREAT NUMBER
OF germans DYING IN PRISONS

| ment is not to blame for the condi-
tons in the camps. The government
is doing all it can. but that is pitifully
little. 1t is unable to get any food
| into the region, because of the short
age of shipping, and its hands are
| tied.
Wakefield encountered two Ameri.
can Red Cross workers, named Ames
and Winfield, doing herculean work,
which, however, was wholly made
quate because Of the great need of the
prisoners.
Helps Prisoners Escape.
Roy Du Fails, a German aviator,
who was a prisoner of the Slavs, ar.
rived on the steamer Shinyo Maru
| Du Fails was able to escape from the
prison camp with the aid of Wakefield,
who was touring through there.
'.Du FATS himself denies that he was
ever in the German aviation corps, or
| that he was a prisoner in Siberia. Any
questions put to him concerning his
career are passed off with a laugh.
The only thing he will say is that he
|! is a Swiss citizen. He appears to
have come from nowhere, and is 60
ing to the same place, by his own ad-
missions.
Wakefield Helped Captive.
Wakefield, however. was a little
more talkative, and said that Du Fails
had been struggled out of one of the
detention camps by himself and an
other man. 7 He said that the young
German aviator had been a student at
the Heidelberg University in Germany
at the out Hreak Of the war, and i'm.
mediately Peft his studies to enlist in
the aviation corps He performed
many wonderful Fights and did valu
able scout work fo1 the German army,
and several timcs narrowly escaped
death from the French aviation guns.

THE koung aviator was finally
brought down by Russian gun when
the Germans made their first advance
on Warsaw He was captured by the
Russians his aeroplane destroyed, and
he was taken 70 the detention camp
at Tchita Here he was found by
Wakefield, who took an interest in the
young man and devised means for his
escape. I

MOST EMINENT MEDICAL
AUTHORITIES ENDORSE IT
A New Remedy for Kidney, Bladder
and All Uric Acid Troubles.

DR.. Eberle and DR.. Braithwaite as
we'll as DIR. Simon-all distinguished
authors-agree that whatever may be
the disease, the urine seldom fails in
furnishing US with clue to the prin-
ciples upon which it is to be treated,
and accurate knowledge concerning
the nature of disease can thus be OBJ
tanned. If backache, scalding urine or
frequent urination bother or distress
you, or if uric acid in the blood has
caused rheumatism, govt or sciatica
or you suspect kidney or bladder trou-
BILE just write DE-. Pierce at the Sgrsi-
cal Institute, Buffalo, N. Y; send a
sample of urine and describe symp-
toms. You will receive free medical
advice after DIR. Pierce's chemist has
examined the urine-this will be
done without charge, and you will be
under no obligation. DR.. Pierce, dur
ing many years of experimentation,
has discovered new remedy which
is 81 times more powerful than lithia
in removing uric acid from the. sys-
tenn. If you are suffering from back
ache or the pains of rheumatism, go to
your best druggist and ask for 90
cent box or "An-uric" put up by DR..
Pierce. DIR. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription for weak women and DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery for

Horrors of Siberian Detention
Camps are Described BY
~ HoneymoonerS

COMPLETING a honeymoon which be-
gan in Honolulu and which lasted sew
eral months, Mr.. and Mrs. F. W. Wake
field, the latter having been the di-
vorced wife of Jack Spreckels, have
returned to San Francisco, where they
will make their home. Incidentally,
the Wakefields brought back with
them stories of the horrors of the ST.
berian detention camps one of which
is given herewith. ! -.
The Wakefields were married in Ho-
nolulu early last fall. both having jour
neyed here expressly for the cere-
mony. Mrs. Spreckels' arrival here
was followed by lively little affair
wherein she was forced to part with
a tiny lap dog after she had struggled
the animal into the city and been
chased to the Seaside hotel by a wharf
officer. .. -.
The San Francisco Bulletin Of jan
uary 20 gives the Wakefields' descrip-
ton of the detention camps in Siberia
as follows:
PriVstions Terrible.
Bringing a story of almost unbe-
lieyable suffering and prfvation among
the German and Austrian prisoners of
Russia in Siberia, F. w. Wakefield,
multimilIionaire clubman and engineer
of this city, whose wedding to the di-
vorced wife of Jack Spreckels in HO-
nolulu took place on the day Spreck-
els interloCutory decree was made
final, arrived in port on the 7. X. K.
liner Shinyo Naru with Mrs. Wake
field.
Although Wakefield was sent on
special engineering mission for the
Russian government itself, and was
therefore able to see far more Of &C
tual conditions in the Siberian camps
than could tourist without the high
est Russian credentials, he expressed
himself as Mortified. at the plight of
the Teutons.
100000 Suffering.
There are approximately 100000
German and Austrian Captives in ST.
IBERIA, he says. All are hungry, all
are suffering from the bitter cold. and
the death rate in the camps is enor-
nous
In many of the camps Wakefield
found the prisoners without any blan-
kets whatever. sleeping on the frozen
cases at ~ degrees below zero Their
sole food was a Russian dish com
posed Of chopped cabbage. The water
supply was PAINFULLY inadequate. and
sanitary conditions Wakefield found
to be shocking.
AS a result o! the hardships under
gone by prisoners. 10 per cent have
died from hunger and thirst An eN-
ample of the awful death rate in these
camps is cited at TChit1, which is To-
Gated at the junction Of the Amur

Save for this and the heavy bonn
