BREAD POOR PART

Aberdeen, Nov. 16.-Sam Chambe lain, former University Sf Washing ten boy, and son of pr. and Mrs. G. E. Chamberlain, of this city, somewhere in France, ran across a prison during his travels in Rn ambulance in which 400 Germans were interned. "The German Dris- oners, about 400 of them, mostly young fellows, had been captured at Verdun. They have not been al- lowed to receive mail and not one of them knew that the United States had entered the war. I ask ed a French soldier why the pris- oners didn't work harder on the chairs, tables and pails they were making, and he explained that they were net required to work unless they wanted to. They earn enough each day to get more and better food than prison fare, and that ap- pears t0 be their only object in life. They barely move at their work.

ANCHORAGE: HAS TROUBLE WITH
 BOOZE

Anchorage, - The Anchorage Times for Nov. contains startling and extremely sensational charge concerning alleged unlawful and immoral doings in one of the large cafes of the city. The article re- sqrred to says:
 "5an Francisco'S Barbary Coast in it0 palmiest days never presented such scenes as are nightly staged in the Mint Grill of Anchorage. AL though the city is presumably dry and no liquor is sold within it's limits, here nightly are to be seen men and women in the various stages of intOxication reeling about the floor of the place and conduct ing themselves in a manner that would put to shame a Dawson dance hall girl.
 Last night and the night before the Mint Grill was the scene of the most disgraceful spectacle which proDably has ever been seen in this city. To enter into details of the performances of the men, wO- men and girls present at these af- fairs, would prevent the passage of the Times through the United states mail.
 Suffice to say, in one night case of whiskey and a barrel of beer were on tap by one party and there is no record of any of the booze being left, Women and girls unused to the effects of intoN- cants were given 'whiskey with beer chasers' q combination which soon put them in condition where they lost all their self possession and al- l. wed liberties on the part of their nal companions which in their right senses they never would have cOuntenanced.
 Back of the main hall of the Mint Grill are several small 'pri- vate dining rooms. These rooms have been in constant demand of late and many are the stories of tle happenings which are supposed to have occurred behind these doors.
 Anchorage is dry town. No liquor is supposed to be sold with in its borders. In addition there Is Q proclamation issued by President Wilson which makes its illegal to give away liquor in Anchorage and the Times demands that the pro- visions of this proclamation be put into effect immediately, in order to prevent a recurrence of the disgraceful scenes which have oc- cured frequently of late.
 If liquor is to be consumed in Anchorage it might better be sold over licensed bars, rather than ped died out in joints like the Mint where its disposition is unchecked. It is safe to say that no reputable saloone on the outside would have allowed such permances as are of nightly occurrence at the Mint and unless some steps are taken to prevent their repetition the Times will appeal direct to Washington to see that the law is enforced ns intended"
