THE GOLDEN BIRD

A long time ago there was a
King who had adjoining his pal
ace. fine pleasure garden In
which stood a tree which bore
golden apples and as soon as the
apples we're ripe they were count.
ed. but the next day one was miss
ed. This vexed the King very
much and he ordered that watch
should be kept every night beneath
the tree: and having three sons
he sent the eldest, when evening
set in, into the garden; but about
midnight the youth fell into deep
sleep, and in the morning another
apple was missing. The next night
the second son had to watch. but
he also Jared no better, for about
midnight he fell fast asleep, and
another apple was wanting In the
morning. The, turn came now to
the third son, who was eager to
60; but the King hesitated for a
long time, thinking he would be
less wakeful than his brothers. but
at last he consented. The youth
lay down under the tree and watch
ed steadily, without letting sleep
be his master, and just as twelve
o'clock struck something rustled
in the air, and looking up he saw a
bird flying by whose feathers were
Of bright gold. The bird lighted
upon the tree, and had just picked
off one of the apples when the
youth shot a bolt at it which did
not prevent its flying away. but
one Of it's golden feathers dropped
OF. The youth picked the feather
up, and showing it the next morn
ing to the King, told him what
he had seen during the night.
Thereupon the King assembled his
council and everyone declared that
a single feather like this was
worth kingdom. Martha Habing,

from fairyland before anyone else

the big city, they slipped into
church through the slit where the
beautiful stained glass window was
turned partly open. 1t had taken
so long to fly all the way, that al
ready the people were sitting in
the long rows Of pews, and Ozmer
and Punerline at once began going
from one seat to another, hunting
out the boys and girls who weren't
paying attention. 1t was lots of
fun, and sometimes, when a boy
would be squirming all around in
his seat and his mother would look
down and frown at him as she
whispered, Willy. sit still those

Punerline forgot to tell Ozmer, and

MILTON BRONNER.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 1.-THE
fact that the Germans the other day
captured II of Pershing's soldiers
brings up afresh the whole problem
of treatment of prisoners. The more
men we get into the trenches of
France, the more opportunity there is
going to be for the enemy to capture
some of them. By the same token,
we are going to take German prison
ers. Just what will be done with
them has not been completely worked
out.
IN this country we already have
many Germans interned-sallors from
German ships, alien enemies who had
been wandering at large and against
whom no criminal charge had been
preferred, etc. Our holding these
German civilians is important be-
cause they may act as hostages for
the good treatmeSt of our own men.
The Germans in this country are
interned in model sanitary camps,
and have good food.
The Germans have never treated
their own prisoners with the same
consideration. I have just had &C
cess to many official reports to the
French government by French doctors
who were in prison camps In Ger
many Their accounts constitute one
long recital of brutality to the pris-
oners, of insufficient food and medi-
cine, of neglect of the sick, of abb
sence of any semblance of creature
comforts.
DR.. Mensaingeon, head of the sur
gical clinic at the Faculte de Paris,
for instance. tells of his experiences
in the Guestrow camp in Mecklen-
burg, where over 5000 French mill
tary and civilian prisoners were held.
Despite the terrible severity of the
winters in that climate, even in Jan
uary the men were housed in tents
on straw or manure, tormented by
swarming vermin, tortured by hum

ger and dying of cold. Men were so
famished they would throw them
selves on the ground to lap up from
the mud a few spoonfuls of spilled
soup. The meals" consisted of thin
watery soup three times day, and a
tiny piece of bread every four days.
This bread was made of bran, potato
pulp and straw. It was only later the
survivors were put into some sort of
barracks.
DR.. Alphonse David, reporting on
the typhus epidemic in the Cassel
camp, says the French prisoners were
deliberately mixed with Russians who
had typhus, the Germans saying they
wanted the French to know their al
lies better" Only after conditions
here became scandal that could not
be concealed, was any kind of sanitary
regulation attempted. Of 10000
prisoners in this camp over 10000
had typhus; 1000 Frenchmen and 700
Russians died of it. And typhus
made more subject to tuberculosis, SO
even when they survived one disease
they got the other.
DR.. Lesieur reports that at Zossen
camp many men had tuberculosis
from exposure apd poor food. and
many others had scurvy and dysen-
terry.
DIR. Fermont tells of terrible de-
velopment of tuberculosis in the pris-
on camps at Amberg, Friedrichfeld
Koenigsbruck, Parchim, Salzwedel
and Zessen-Wunsdorf. 1t is the same
story of hunger, cold and brutal
treatment. He tells of seeing men
picking up sand on which soup had
been spilled, and sucking it for the
nourishment. Men licked the sides
of bowels, like dogs. Men patiently
sorted out the contents of dusthins
for the chance stray crumb of bread.
He tells of men being fed ends of
sausages, black buildings of doubtful
freshness, cheese in the last stages of
decomposition.
DR.. Maj. Chon tells of brutalities
practiced upon the prisoners at Fried
richsfeld and Senne. For trivial of
lenses against camp rules, they were
na,!e to run for hours on the hot
sand in a July day, until they
dropped from exhaustion. Those nut
in cells for punishment got bread and
water only every three days. Orders
were given in German, and if the
Frenchmen did not understand, they
were punished.

Enderleigh, the slain man, had used
Shelton in his swindling and when de-
lection seemed certain had abandoned
him to the law while he fled to safe

The climax to this vivid drama
comes after the courtroom scene
