GERMANS STARVE AND
BEAT WAR PRISONERS
Men Are Forced to Work in the Trenches
Under Fire of the Allied
Guns.

Washington, Aug. 3l.-Starved beat
en- and subjected to many indignities,
prisoners of war in Germany are being
compelled to work in trench and field un.
der the fire from the armies of their own
countries.
Reports made by Russian soldiers who
have escaped from Germany and which
have been transmitted TO the state de-
partment, say prisoners of all national
tiles are being used on work just behind
the lines and within range of the guns.
A small portion of bread, some thin
soup and occasionally bit of meat of
horses shot in action comprise their ra-
tons When the Russian soldiers left,
many of the units had lost by disease
virtually half their number. No new
clothing had been issued to them and in
all sorts of weather they are forced to
work in vermin-laden rags.
Military overseers, the Russians re-
ported, frequently had them tied to
boards and beaten until they had reached
the point of exhaustion.

EMIGRATION INCREASED
Total Leaving Sweden 300 Larger in 1916
Than in 1915.

Stockholm, Aug Emigration from
Sweden in 1916 exceeded the 1915 figures
by more than 5000 The total number
was 1901, against 4,07s the year before.
Strenuous efforts to discourage emigra-
tion are being made and have for some
years been made by the National Asso-
citation to Oppose Emigration, the presi-
dent of which is DR.. Adrian Molin. The
associations efforts are warmly seconded
by the government. Efforts are being
made to find work for returned emigrants
and to induce them not to return to
America practically the only country to
which Swedes emigrate, These efforts
were unusually successful last year, and
a great number of Swedish Americans
who had returned for visit were in
dueed to settle down here. Many of
them bought farms and work was found
for others.

Washington, Aug, Further prepa-

both sides of the ocean. In England the
first of vast fleet of standard mer-
chantmen has just been launched. 1t is
said that they will range from 5000 to
1000 tons and can be built in four
months. The yards are full of keels and
many hundreds of this type of ship are
to be built with the least possible delay.
On this side the program for destroyers
has been advanced. OF the S350000,000
appropriated, S225, 100000 is to be ex-
pended on building plants TO construct
engines, etc, for the destroyers, while
25,000,000 will go for the vessels
themselves. The navy department has
decided on standardized type which
will have speed of not less than 35
knots, will be electrically driven and
will be equipped largely upon lines rec

JOHNSTON WINS IN
QUALIFYING ROUND
Has Low Gross Score of 74--Freeland
and Craig Have Low Gross Scores
for Annual Handicap
Cup.

Owing to the heavy rain that fell all
yesterday forenoon, there was not so
large an entry for the annual tourna-
ment of the Barre Golf club as would
have been the case had the weather con-
ditions been favorable. However, when
the time for starting the qualifying
round came, there were % players names
drawn, and in spite of the rain they all
started out and some good scoring was
done by one or two of the members, but
had the weather been fine, il is believed
some record scoring would have been
done, as the players lately have shown
great form.
In the qualifying round of Is holes,
William Johnston, the 1917 Vermont
state champion, won the low gross cup,
with a low gross score of "a, while James
Freeland and William Craig were ties
for the annual handicap cup, with net
score of 70 each.

At the same time another Italian army
reached out beyond Monte Cuceo for a
coincidental drive eastward on the same

statement made yesterday at the italian
embassy. The Austrians, the embassy's
information says, are deserving this
strong point, the fall of which has been
but a matter of time ever since the cap

According to advices from Rome, the
great battle for possession of the Balm

stage The Austrian withdrawal, which |
was fast becoming disorderly rout, has |
arrived at positions apparently strongly |

Whether the Austrians will be able to |
hold these emergency positions is re-
garded as questionable, the Italian ad
vance having been so impetuous as to
give the foe the minimum of time
for reorganization.
The Rome statement contains details
of rear guard actions in which many
prisoners were taken. Additional gains
on the heights east and north of Co
rizia also are recorded Italian aircraft
in numbers unprecedented in this the.
atre of war are taking part. Once more
the imperative necessity for superiority
in the air is demonstrated.
