Washington, Aug 30.--Starved
beaten and subjected to many indig-
mites, prisoners or war in Germany
are being compelled to work in trench
and field under the fire from the
armies of their countries.
Reports made by Russian soldiers
who have escaped from Germany
which have been transmitted to the
state department, say prisoners of all
nationalities are being put to work
just behind the lines and within range
of the guns.
Practically Starved.
A small portion of bread, some thin
soup and occasionally bit of meat OF
horses shot in action, comprise their
rations. The prisoners have been or
ganized into units as carefully as are
soldiers. Their work Is done sys-
tematically under military supervision
with long hours and no medical at
tention. When the Russian soldiers
left many of the units had lost by dis
ease practically half their number
No new clothing had been issued to
them and in all sorts of weather they
are forced to work in vermin-l laden
rags.
Inhumanly Beaten.
Military overseers, the Russians re-
ported, frequently had them tied to
boards and beaten until they had
reached the point of exhaustion. In
cluded in the labor units were Ger
mans as well as Russians, british.
French, Belgians and Poles. The
Germans were those who had partici-
pated in food riots or who were phys.
ically unfit for service in the ranks.
These men were treated very little diff
ferently from the prisoners Of war.

BREAD IN ANCIENT EGYPT.

Cereals have always been an i'm
portant item in human food. Of all
the forms in which they have been
used, bread has proved the most sat
isfactory. The Egyptians carried the
art of baking to high perfection. They
shaped their bread into small round
%loaves, something like mullins of to-
day.
Concerning their methods of knead-
ing, Herodotus, the Greek historian,
wrote: dough they knead with their
feet but clay with their hands" The
practice Of kneading dough with the
feet was long common in Scotland,
and In some districts 10 still followed.
The modsrn idea Is to prepare bread
with as little handling as possible,
and this may be realized with the I'm
iversal Bread Maker. The Universal
Kitchen Efficiency Contest, to be held
by Fountains during the week Of
April 9th to 18th, is sure to arouse
general interest in better food prep
aration, kitchen efficiency and house,

UNIVERSITY PROBES.
SOR CHARGED WITH UN-
AMERICAN CONDUCT.

Montpelier, VT, March 31-(By I'm
ion Associated Press)-The charges
Of un-American conduct preferred by
the Alumni of the University of Yer
mont against DR.. Anton H. Appel
mann, Professor of German Language
and Literature at the University, are
expected to create more than ordin-
airy excitement at today's meeting of
the Board of Trustees. The meeting
takes place here to accommodate Gov
ernor Horace F. Graham and Secre-
tary of State Guy W. Bailey, who are
members of the Board. 1t is alleged
that Professor Appelmann's corre-
spondence with a representative of
the German Imperial Navy at New
York compromised his standing as an
instructor at an American university.
He rendered his resignation soon after
President Wilson announced the diplo-
matte break with Germany and start
ed for Germany, but continues to
hold his chair at the university, pend
ing the final disposition of his case.

The Worst Not Yet-The optimistic

Such a'man l have in mind. He is a
member Of the official family of the
county, is4a whole-souled fellow, up
right in his dealings with his fellow
man and one of the few remaining of
the old school who loved their tardy
before breakfast but never drank to
excess. The other day a discussion in
which a number of young legal lights
Of the city took part, occurred at. the
Court House and the subject was the
recently enacted bone-dry law. The
young fellows were bemourning the
fact that the law had passed and at
the same time were trying to console
the oldet members of the bunch with
whom they thought it would 60 hard
er than with themselves. Our friend
mentioned above is as optimistic as
man can be and can always see things
with a bright side no matter how dark
they appear to others. After listening
to the fantings and rawlings of the
aforesaid young legal lights he allow
ed as how the old fellows needed no
sympathy as one thing was a cinch,
the oil men would not have to endure
the bine-dry situation as long as the
those of tender years.
