PETROGRAD, Aug lj.-rhe cen
tral committee which is dealing with the
affairs OF war prisoners issued a state
ment "in high protest against the re
fined barbarity which Germany is dis
playing" toward Russian prisoners. The
statement says that Germany is not full
filling her promises regarding the in
ternment in neutral countries OF sick
prisoners, that she is illegally retaining
military prisoners unfit for service and
that she is placing restrictions on the
men communicating with their homes
and in,ercepting letters asking assist
ance from the Red Cross. II also says
that the ra,ions Of the prisoners have
been reduced to unheard OF proportions
and that they include adulterated prod
ucS injurious to the men. In addition
prisoners are compelled to undertake
superhuman labor.

ATTORNEYS TOLD TO
PROSECUTE SLACKERS
Claim Made That Thousands
Did Not Register---Law
Will Get Them

Washington, July 30.- Attorney
General Gregory instructed United
States attorneys throughout the coun-
try to enlist the aid of local police and
other organizations in the search for
unregistered men.
When it is discovered that a per-
son had not registered, Gregory's in
structions said, "'proceed at once to
register him and institute criminal
proceedings against him, regardless of
the reasons for failure to register for
draft, unless the circumstances were
beyond the control of the individual,
such as being at sea ON registration
day.
Pending physical examination Of
the man, hold him in Jail or under the
highest possible bond until Judgment is
rendered against him by the court or
he is drafted into the national army"
"From reports received July 49,"
said Gregory today, sit appears that
thousands of conscriptable men did not
register and have so far escaped de-
lection.
"The Importance of this matter to
the government is such that a prompt,
thorough countrywide search for these
persons, followed by vigorous Grim
inal prosecution of all who are appre-
hended, must be made by this depart
ment.
"When captured these draft evaders
will be registered by their local boards
and assigned numbers. They will then

Freshmen Are Barred
from intercollegiate Games

Oregon Agricultural College, Corval-
lis, July 30.-Freshmen will be debar-
red from participation in intercollegi-
ate games in the Coast College confer
ence during the coming year, if inter
collegiate games are played. This was
decided at a meeting of the .. A. G.
board of control yesterday afternoon
when the majority of members voted
in favor of retaining the present fresh
men eligibility rule.
Before the vote was taken it was re-
ported by DR.. A. D. Browne, head of
physical elueation. that the other mem
bers of the conference were tied on the
question of revoking the rule. 1t then
became apparent that the local board
must cast the deciding vote for the en-
tire conference. Just what arguments
were made was not disclosed, but the
vote was decisive and the rule prevails
Dr. Browne has gone to Washington,
d. c.. where he meets with the other
members of the executive committee OF
the National Athletic association to con
slider the freshmen and other questions
intercollegiate sports during
war times. Indeed the first question to
some up will be whether intercollegl-
ate sports should be abolished or con
tinued while the big war is on. In view
of the attitude of many national lead
ers favoring the intercollegiate policy
it hardly seems likely that the practice
viii be discontinued.
Changes of rules to adapt them TO
present conditions and TO eliminate
some Of the more Objectionable tea-
lures is expected to result IN favor or
making the change.

The steamer in collision with the
Saratoga was the Panama, inward
bound from Cristobal. The Panama
rammed the Saratoga. The Panama was
not badly damaged and after a delay
proceeded to her dock.
At the point of debarkation all de-
tails were withheld. The transport was
beached, it was stated, but when the
difference in names was reported here
and from Washington was pointed out,
comment was refused.
Those on board the transport were
taken off before the ship was beach
ed. Tugs and craft of every description
swarmed about the crippled vessel and
the transfer was made without confu-
sion or great difficulty.
The troops were taken back to their
point of debarkation as speedily as
possible.
