PRISONER Of
WAR NOT GOOD
FARM WORKER
For Various Reasons but Does
Very Well at Other Kinds
of Work.

| Correspondence OF the Associated Prcss)
VIENNA, Jan. 24-Austrlan and
Hungarian landowners and farmers
are not particularly impressed with
the value of Russian and Serbian pris-
onefs Of war as farm laborers. Ac-
counts from all sides generally SUPP
port the old saying. you can lead a
horse to water, but you can not make
him drink"
On the whole, the prisoner OF war
as farm hand seems to have been a
failure. This is true for other reasons
than that the prisoners have a natur-
al aversion to work for their enemies.
One of the great handicaps has been
that the Russian and Serb farmers
who were selected to work on the Aus
trian and Hungarian farms, were Tor
the greater part unframed in the
rather intensive farming methods en-
ployed in the dual moarchy. Though
the men were shown how to go about
their work most OF them failed to
understand the reason why II had to
be done a certain way. Others who
did understand preferred to be care
less, when not under the eyes OF the
overseer and guards. But few Of the
prisoners OF war took any interest in
the work. Patriotic feelings appear to
have been an active deterrent for
most of them.

1t seems, however. that the labor Of
prisoners Of war was more productive
in other fields OF .endeavor, especially
Is this true where the Russians and
Serbs remained altogether under the
control of the military. In building
road sand railroads no opportunity fol
Sinking was given. Each gang had
to do certain amount of work; re-
suits were Immediately visible and
therefore susceptible to prompt cor
rection, which was not the case in
farming. The engineer troops under
whose surveillance railroad work was
done could not be easily fooled by the
prisoners of war, while the farmer
had he wanted to supervise his in
voluntary farmland closely, could
have done the work himself. Since
most jof the old reservists guarding
the prisoners Of war were city people
no improvement from that direction
could be expected. SOS
German farmers who employed Rus
sian prisoners of war are said 10
have obtained better results, though
the Associated Press. correspondent
cannot say that a large landowner Of
the Brandenburg province with whom
he discussed the. matter was at all en-
thusiastic over the prospects of hay
ing to raise another crop with the aid
of prisoners of war. He said that In
addition to being most unwilling work
ers. the Russians he had employed
failed to learn rapidly, though he had
the services OF AN able interpreter.
The handicaps OF language have
been sorely felt, by both sides, Of
course. 40 improvement in this sit
uation is now expected. Many Of the
Russians and Serbs have learned Ger
man and Hungarian sufficiently well to
understand orders and be understood
in their turn. 1t Is likely for this rea-
son that next year the prisoner OF war
will prove Of greater value.
The Russian and Serbian prisoner OF
war is a very tractable person on the
whole. Hardly any complaints have
been made against them by the COM
munities in with they worked and
lived, usually with the scantiest pro-
visions for their control. Their con-
duct has been very correct through
out, and they have also earned the
reputation OF being scrupulously clean
in body and habit. Most OF them
carry in their minds so deep-seated Q
horror Of the filth Of the Russian and
Serb front that the opportunity to use
soap and water is fully appreciated BY
them. OF the thousands of Russians
and Serbs the Associated Press cor,
respondent saw on recent TRIP
through Hungary and Austria but very
few had neglected themselves
and their quarters everywhere had 9
spic and spanness which no orders
from the guards could have produced
Austro-lHungarian officers assured thf
correspondent that the cleanliness and
orderliness exhibited was spontaneous
and inherent with the men.
The Austro-Hungarians have beer
very mild in their treatment OF thu
men. The best understanding exists
as a rule, and what little trouble thu
prisoner Of war has given is mostl!
due to his disinclination to work for
or under, a civilian. The soldier
psychology is such that as q, prisone
