nOOu taught IN Ter
man schools together and so knew
Germany thoroughly.
For three years Chomard has been
fhief French censor at Pontarlier, one
Df the most important frontier posts F;
all mail between France and Swltzer-
land has gone through his hands.
Chomard has had many opportuni-
ties to get news Of what Germany is
doing TO Frenchmen in its power.
Summing up he says:
THE Germans are treating our pris-
oners In a manner beyond human en-
hurance. Tens Of thousands Of French
soldiers in Germany have already died.
The others will be returned all broken
up and worn out.
According to a German official re-
port, published a year ago, 10000 Of
our soldiers were then filling the in
sane asylums Of Germany.
"Under all sorts OF pretexts they are
INJECTING terrible reprisals. Last year
they sent 10000 20 Russian Poland.
This year they sent $4,000 to the
French front, where they were ex-
posed to the fire from our guns. They
were packed in barracks too small to
afford comfort and had no fire. They
were not allowed to receive parcels
from home and were made 10 work
lbout 400 yards behind the German
arst lines.
OF the $1,000. nearly 1000 were killed
by our proiectiles or persisted from
disease. The others were taken back
lo Germany in a pitiful condition, Grip
lled for the rest Of their lives.
The Germans practice their reprisals
especially upon officers and intellec-
tuals. The French prisoners, working
IN German mines during the last two
Fears are ruined for life.
Germany acts In this manner be-
pause she has more French prisoners
lhan we have German. At first she
treated the English prisoners worse
han ours, but now that England has
more German prisoners than Germany
has English, our accursed enemy has
changed tactics. The allies should be
united on the treatment Of prisoners
OF war as they are on military opera
lions.
1T is a question OF the future Of our
race which Germany seems TO want
70 annihilate."
In another passage professor Che
mard reveals how much the winning
pf the fight for democracy depends
upon the United States:
Il do not doubt the intensity Of the
effort in the United States, but what
Is now needed most is speed During
the first two years economic condi-
lions in France had hardly changed.
The prices Of foodstuffs had not
changed much, but it has been quite
ff 2rent during the last year. And
~ threatens TO become more pre-
iarious in the laboring masses and for
employees living on limited salary.
Finally, the arrival OF the first
American soldiers has caused all prices

CARELESS OF price.
France, which produces much less
and which is deprived Of a part OF her
imports because Of the submarines,
must nevertheless contribute her share
to feed the allied armies within her
borders. Hence a soaring OF prices
which would not have been thought
possible.
ut is, therefore. necessary that
America hasten. What are at present
the conditions on the French front af-
ter three years Of war? or a front
extending over more than 700 kllome-
ters, our allies are holding only about
$50. Thus the heavy load is still fall

Of Oklahoma.

Mrs. d. II. De Sorphia, wife of a
wealthy oil man of Oklahoma City,
who was stopping at the Waldorf-As-
toria hotel, lost valuable sapphire
from string Of sapphires which
adorned her mesh bag. She was very
much upset about it and went to a
jewelers. and ordered another to take
its place. She found a stone that was
even more beautiful than the one she
lost and left the bag so the stone could
be set in 1t.
She returned to her room from a
shopping tour the next day and had
with her the mesh bag with the new
stone in it. Emily Cox. chambermaid
on the floor, met her as she entered
the door.
II have just found this" the cham

The maid held out the missing sap
phire. Mrs. De Sorphia took the sap
phire and compared 1t with the new
one.

full" she said. "and as a reward for
your honesty you may keep the one
you found. or perhaps you had better
dispose of it and start a nest egg with
the proceeds"

bed when she swept there.--New York
