F|ENDISH ACTS
 OF HUNS TOLO

Washington, Sept. 22.-Another chapter is added to the story of the tortures of German prison camp by a Russian soldier who escaped by tunueling with a knife under the electrically charged fence along the Antwerp-Rosendael line. It has been forwarded to the state department 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 weste!sn front consisting of 2,OOO men las been reduced by starvation exposure, beating 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 bit of horse meat.
 The unfit, the wounded and those who have lost members of their body 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 maimed men, often little more than animat- ed skeletons.
 Stern and implacable methods were used to compel prisoners to work. Ingenious tOrtures that end ed only short of death were in flicted on some, while others were shot outright. Punishments varied from enforced standing at attention for a day at time without food to beatings with rifle butts and to hours of suspension in the air with ropes being tied to the wrists while prisoners hands were held be- hind the bodies, the result being to throw tho weight on the unnaturally twisted muscles of the arms and. s' ouldes. Such methods in his own battalion, once 2,OOO strong, had reduced it to $50 at the time he escaped.

EFFECT OF MOUNTAINEERING
Day-Drean1ing With Purpose Is All
Right but Much Time Is Lost IN
Kind That Serves No Purpose.

Have you ever stopped to think how
much time is lost in mind-wanderings
How many times during the day do
you let your thoughts wander from the
main task at hand? And once a per-
sons thoughts start wandering, how
they skip from one link Of recollec-
tons to another until a chain OF
wasted moments is forged
Mind-wandering seems TO be a gen
eral characteristic of the human race,
but those who have succeeded in con-
ouering the characteristic and concen-
tratfng upon the task at hand have
been the men who have moved ahead
in the business and professional world.
Day-dreaming is all right when the
dreams are busy with plans for pro-
noting business methods or with ideas
for practical inventions-and when
other work is not being neglected.
The inventor Of the steam engine,
watching the steam IN a kettle lifting
the top Of the pot and day-dreaming
about what that power might be made
to accompIIsh-was not wasting bis
time. but was advancing the human
race.
Useful day-droaming is all right, but
mind-wandering should be relegafed to
the scrap heap.-Arkansas Democrat
