BOCHE STARVES
AND TORTURES
IT'S PRISONERS S
THE RUSSIAN ESCAPES AND
BRINGS STORY OF BRUTAL
TORTURES AND WHOLE
SALE DEATHS BY STARV-
ING OF THE MEN

Washington, d. {. Sept. 20
Another chapter is added to the story
of the tortures of German prison
camps by a Russian soldier who es-
capped by tunneling with a knife un-
der the electrically charged fence a
long the Antwerp Rosendaal line. 1t
has been forwarded to the state de-
partment from Petrograd.
Brutal treatment and poor and in
sufficient food have cost Germany
the labor of thousands of prisoners
he says. One labor battalion on the
western front, consisting of 1000 men
has been reduced by starvation, ex-
posure, beatings and death to less
than 500 The daily rations for a
prisoner, he reported. consisted of a
small amount of bread and turnip
soup, the soup enriched occasional
ly by a bit of horse meat.
Men Are Animated Skeletons
The unfit, the wounded and those
who have lost members of their
bodies were kept in invalid camps
until they died, but never, he says,
returned to camps in Germany be-
cause the officers in command fear
ed the psychological effect upon the
people of the sight of the MANNED
skeletons.
Tortures and Murders
Stern and implacable methods were
used to compel prisoners to work.
Ingenious tortures that ended only
short of death were inflicted on
some, while others were shot out
right.
Punishments varied from enforced
standing at attention for a day at a
time without food, to beatings with
rifle butts and to hours of suspen-
sion in the air with ropes tied to the
wrists while the prisoners hands
were held behind the bodies, the re-
suit being to throw the weight on
the unnaturally twisted muscles of
the arms and shoulders. Such me-
thods in his own battalion, once 1000
strong. had reduced it to $50 at the
time he escaped.

GERMANY MAKING
"CERNAN" A SIGN
MOST INFAMOUS
AMERICA WILL COME TO
HAVE SAME HORROR THAT
FRANCE, BELGIUM AND
GREAT BRITAIN ALREADY
HAVE HAD

The announcement that an Ameri-
can medical officer has been murder
ed and three Others wounded in a
German air attack upon an American
hospital on the French coast will
surprise American people merely be
cause distance has so far served to
supplement- their faith in human ma
turc and make it impossible for them
to believe that even Germans would
do the things they have been charged
with doing
Yet there is nothing new in this
German attack upon hospital far
removed from the scene Of opera
tions. 1t is only few days ago that
German planes attacked an Ameri-
can hospital at Naudelaincourt, be-
hind Nerdum. and murdered hospital
nurses and killed and wounded a
of soldiers already wounded
on the battlefield Yesterday came
news that the attack had been re-
peated. The truth is that this is the
sort of thing the German does. He
rapes women. tortures old men. muir
ders children, burns villages, enslaves
attacks hospitals. because
in the German mind this is method
OF making war which promises prof
it to the German cause.
Cannot Live With Germany
The reason why all talk of peace
is futile and sometimes approaches
sin is that it is impossible for men
and women to live at peace with a
people who do the things that Ger
mans do. The Canadian people hes
itated to believe the French and Brit
ish accounts of German atrocities un-
til Canadian soldiers reported that
some of their wounded had been CRU
Gifted before Ypres. The British
troops hesitated to believe what
French rumors told and Belgian re-
ports asserted with reference to Ger
man methods of making war until
British soldiers occupied districts in
France that had been held by Ger
they saw what Germans
had done to the women and children
and the old men of the districts Of
Artois and Flanders.
We had our first contact with the
German method in the Lusitania. We
have not yet had sufficient contact
to supply American evidence to the
mass OF the American people That
is coming We have thousands of
American soldiers in Europe. and we
shall have many more thousands.

people of the state are becoming

HONOR ROLL OF
THE LIVING TO
BE KEPT HERE
SUGGESTION THAT livery
TOWN SHOULD HAVE RE
CORD OF LLL IT'S MEM
WEO ARE NOW IN THE
MILITARY SERVICE

In the center OF the plaza Of Sart;
Fe there is a monument erected b,
the legislatures of New Mexico O
l&G6-7-8 To The Heroes who hay,
Fallen in the various battles witt
savage Indians in the territory nj
New Mexico and to the heroes O
the Federal Army who fought anl
who fell in the battles of Canon de
Apache and Pigeons Rancho, Marcf
%, 1862, and in the battle of Peralta
April IS, 1862, and in the battle oi
Valverde, February p. 1862.
1t is the plan of the Patriotic COM
mittee OF the Santa Fc branch OF
the Woman'S Auxiliary Of the Coun-
ell Of Defense OF New Mexico tc
pleacc on this monument bulletin
posting the names OF all those men
in Santa Fe now in the service oi
their country; and it is suggested by
the Woman's Auxiliary of the Coun-
Gil that this plan be adopted by all
the towns and villages of the state
Of New Mexico.
Use Most Prominent Place
The bulletin should be placed in
some prominent place where all who
pass may see it and recognize daily
this honor roll of the living. The
men will be listed under the branch
,of service in which they are engaged
and their whereabouts. when posi-
Bile, will be stated In this way the
people of town and village or com
munity will have daily reminder
of the heroes of today who are Civ
.,,, "a 1,
and, it may be, their lives. to the
cause of democracy. The Honor Roll
of the Living will be a cause of cher
ishing pride to the loyal citizens of
each community.
1t is earnestly recommended by
the Woman's Auxiliary that each dis
trict unit post this list OF the men
of its community in active service
in the most prominent place in the
town or village as soon as possible.
We can not pay too much honor
to the men who are defending US.
We feel sure that the men in the
training camps or in the navy or
in the trenches will like TO know
that, as we pass through the plaza
or along the streets, their names will
flash upon us each day the instant
recognition of their loyal devoted
service. and that we do not have
to wait until they have fallen in
battle to record their names on the
grateful community's Roll of Honor
Hang Insignia In House
In addition to this central bulletin.
it is the plan of the Auxiliary to
hang an insignia in each house from
which a man has gone forth to serve
his country. IF more than one man
has gone this will be indicated also :;
but the central bulletin will have
mass. effect peculiarly significant for
the community-A- c. H.
