THE Poles, who had no law and
no consul to protect them. had been
recruited from Warsaw a year before
on the assurance that they would be
repatriated after six months labor in
Germany. When their contracts ex-
pired. however, the German authori-
ties not only refused to send them
back to Poland, but threw all those
who protested into jail. where a num-
Der OF them died from starvation.
Now, the rule OF things is that
whenever a Pole presents himself TO
the police and asks to be sent back
to Poland he is arrested and deprived
OF all food until his spirit Is broken
and he humbly returns to his work.

Ate Small Frozen Potatoes.
THE first morning OF our labor we
were told by our comra des what TO
expect, and the picture they drew or
existence in Germany was enough to
terrify the bravest OF us. We were
soon to find out for ourselves at our
first meal that they had not exaG-
gerated.
Our midday meal consisted OF
plate of soup that gave OF an in
definable siCkening odor and in which
fioated some hard substance that was
solid enough to break the teeth: an
other plate containing a mess OF beet
leaves and a few small watery po-
tatoes. that gave OF a gray. sticky
fluid when they were mashed. They
Were about the size of nut and our
comrades told us they had been
frozen the previous winter and were
rotten and unit for food. For four
months. however. they had seen no
others.
Once a week We were allowed
trifie under half pound of meat from
some animal that had died. The piece
of meat was no larger than the palm
OF the hand and contained no nourish-
ment. In the evening a cup of cofrec
made from acorns was added. The
bread was terrible. hard and black
and filled with a gritty substance that
broke the teeth and caused violent
nausea.

"ExperienceY

--<~tS
 ''Experience," called by the critics the most wonderful play in America, will be at the Jefferson theatre Feb ruary 12 for four performances, in c,uding a matinee Wednesday.
 This will be the first presentation in this city of George V. Hobart's mod err morality drama and the famous New York cast will be seen. Wherever Experience" has been given it has broken all records and the play comes here after Q season of nine months in New York. seven months in Chi- cago and five months in Boston. EEK perience" tells vividly the love story of youth and the temptations he meets in quest of fame and fortune, and in this allegorical romance, the scenes laid in New York, the author George V. Hobart, has written one of the strongest and most powerful sermons and a play which. after all, is one of the most lively and entertaining girl shows ina ginahle. In selecting the various temptations which con- front Youth, MT. Hobart decided to have them portrayed by beautiful and attractive women; thus, Intoxication is T Titian- haired beauty; Passion a fascinating blonde and so on for the vices and virtues which are to be met with in the world
 The ID scenes A0T sfXpeFlence lndl- cate to certain extent the widely vsried character of the play. It starts in littlecountry village where Youth Lids farewell to his sweeth cart Love. It shows him meeting Pleasure at the gates of the city. and then his dash into the gay night life of the prim- rose path. Here in the Golden Cabaret, surrounded by beautiful types of all turing girlhood. Youth begins mis- ts ken career and then is shown his downward glide until he is penniless and low. Indeed he is about to commit . crime but as he is passing church he hears the hymn, Lead Kindly yight." his mother used to sing to him and under the influence of this hymn Youth goes back to the country to begin life anew. There are S2 char acters and 10 scenes in "Experence,' ? and the large demand for seats indi- cates that it will be one of the big en- agreements of the early season.

 Like all the Winter Garden shows "A World of Pleasure'' has its famous beauty chorus. Of course, every mu- sical play that goes on tour adver- tises "a famous beauty chorus.'
