TELL OF CRUELTY
IN PRISON CAMPS
Toronto Hghlanders, Captured at St
Julian, Describe Their Awful
Treatment

TORONTO, Nov. 5.-First hand re-
ports of brutalities praeticed and con-
Editions in German prison camps, partic- |
ularly at Gottingen, Hanover, were |
given here by Corp. Alexander Yetman |
and Allan Mcdonald, Toronto Highland |
ers, who were captured at St. Julien |
in April, 1915.
They were prisoners in Germany, for |
10 months, but when they became i'll,
because of starvation, they we're re-
turned home through Switzerland.
Back from the grave, that S M,
said Corp. Yetman. 81 was Is months
| at Gottingen and three months at
Mannheim, when | was waiting to be
sent to Switzerland. l weighed l65
pounds when l was captured and be-
cause of poor food, bad treatment and
conditions of the camp, | lost weight
and was down to 9S pounds when
was sent to Switzerland in August,
/ !9l6. There l started to pick up and
| now weigh 145.
81 came home with tuberculosis. The
gas and the poor food brought il and
it was wonder l did not die. The
food not not fit for pigs and | doubt
if they would eat it.
Il saw Ambassador Gerard of the
UNITED States at Mannheim camp. He
twisted the place and made an inspec
ltion, but the Huns fixed things up when
he came. | am sure he did good work
in connection with making things bet
ter
We We're often hit, punished and
kicked and called pigs and swine. Now
land then we could walk to town, if we
liked, but they made us walk in the
middle of the road, for we could not
walk on the sidewalk beside the Ger
mans and they jeered at rs and called
us vile names.
- chum of mine was sent away to
the salt mines. He came back with
sores on his legs from work and be-
cause he came back they put him in
prison.
When YOU asked a guard for cup
: of water. a German Red Cross nurse
would knock it out of your hand and
throw the cup on the ground. We had
to sleep on the floor of the huts. We
had no change Of clothing and when
we were wet to the skin we had to
: keep our clothes on.
The prisoners got no justice and
the food was wretched, - declared Mac
Donald, who was wounded and gassed
at st. Julian and who was Is months
at Gottingen.
They worked me pretty hard. - he
said. - was on the pick and shovel
gang working on the roads and then

/. Iprison for nine days in dark cell, un
i der close confinement and fed on bread
and water.
AT first conditions were terrible
but they got better when our parcel
were sent. But the Germans did moth

APPROPRIATION ILLEGAL.
Bellows Falls Must Vote Second Time
on Purchase of Fire Truck.

BELLOWS FALLS, Nov. Sit has
been discovered by village officers that
an appropriation of $3.50 made at Il
special village meeting October 80 was
illegal. A statute of 1915 requires that
an appropriation in excess of 10 per
cent of the grand list must be voted on
by checklist and that at least % Ter
cent Of the list must be present and
vote. At the meeting October 80 no
checklist was used and % per cent OF
the voters did not vote.
The trustees had voted to buy a mo
tor fire truck as the meeting of Octo-
Der 30 directed and an agent of com
pany was present 10 make the contract
when the Illegally of the appropria-
ton was discovered. Another meeting
will be called soon and the whole mat
ter of purchasing the truck will be
gone over again.

troops on the Russian front line, have
found that it was taken for granted
that when they went into action every
single operation was likely to cost them
either half or three-quarters of the eff
fectives of the troops engaged.
Last May | was in an operation
(of which the news was never given to
the public, in which during a month IS
successful fighting they lost half and
CATER being brought up to strength
during an unsuccessful days fighting
three quarters of their men. To show
that the test was not their success |
will say that in November of last year,
in four DAYS of more or less successful
fighting, at which | was present, they
lost close to three-quarters of the men
engaged, and that let me add, without
a grumble.
1.-THE explanation is simple Russia
has paid in men what she lacked in
munitions, and her successes, as hel
failures, were at a far more terrible
cost than our own.
"Having followed closely the ex
pressions of Kerensky S views, | fee
quite certain that he would never have
made a statement, which he has other
wise than as an appeal to our sympa
thy and understanding of such facts a:
have mentioned.
II am more and more gaining con
fdence that there is now good chanc,
of Russia's diseharging more of he
part of the work of the allies than
should have thought possible month

RUSSIA'S LOSS is

Prof. Pares Gives Figures to Explain
Kerensky's Appeal as One for

now take the heaviest part Of the bur
den on their shoulders. has been given
10 a representative OF the Observer by
Professor Pares, who has been on war
service with the Russian armies and
was later in Petrograd. He is profes
sor of Russian history and head OF the
school of Russian studies in the Uni
versity of Liverpool
He regards Kerenskvs statements
not as an expression of policy, but az
an appeal to the allies sympathy and
an understanding of the enormous sac
rifces that Russia has made
kerenskv would never have made
this statement through the foreign
press, Professor Pares said, "if he
had wished il to be an expression OF
policy. In that case he would Of
course, have spoken to the ambassa-
doris.

thoritative source that the news from
Russia is more and more encouraging

EIGHTEEN DIE IN
PATERSON FIRE
Aged Inmates of Salvation
Army Mission Have Lit
tie Chance to Escape
TEN IN HOSPITALS
FATALLY INJURED
Identification Of Those Killed Will Be
Impossible, Police Believe, as Records
the Fire

PATTERSON, \. j., Nov. 5.-Eiehteen
bodies have been taken from the ruins
Of the Salvation Army rescue mission
here, which was destroyed by fire early
yesterday. Ten men are i'll hospitals
with probably fatal injuries and many
others were less seriously hurt in leap
ing from windows of the burning struc
ture.
Identification of all who were killed
viii be impossible, the police believe,
as the records of the institution We're
lost in the fire. There were IS men
asleep in the mission when the flames
started in an old frame building adjcin-
ing the main structure used for stor
ing magazines and newspapers.
Arrival of fire apparatus was delayed
through confusion in turning in "a prop
er alarm and the entire building was
ablaze when the firemen reached it.
Rapid spread of the flames made use
of the only fire escape on the building
impossible and the dodgers, many of
whom were old and crippled, were
driven to windows from which they
leaped before firemen could catch them
in nets. Several of the elderly victims
are believed TO have been suffoeated in
their sleep and others who tried to
reach the street by the front entrance
so impeded each other III their flight
that they ehoked the pasSageway where
the bodies were found huddled in a
heap. Eight of the dead thus far have
been identified. 1t was reported last
night that about 10 of the aged dodgers
are missing, but as the cellar of the
mission is flooded with four feet OF
water, search for additional bodies j;
being retarded.
The. police declared the building
compiled fully with the fire laws anc
attributed the quick spread of thu
flames TO stacks of ldndling WOOD
stored in the rear ward, not far from
the storeroom containing bundles o.
!, old newspapers, which burned rapidly.

DIPLOMAT IN AUTO ACCIDENT.
Baron Akerhielm Runs Car on Side
walk Avoiding Smash-Up.

Baron Akerhielm, counselor of the
Swedish legation, last night about
o'clock figured in an exciting automo-
bile accident at Dupont circle and P
street. In an effort to avoid collision
with street car he turned his ma
chine across the sidewalk demolishing
a waste paper receptacle, knocking
down Matilda Watkins, colored, 1419
20th street, and crashing into the win
dow of the Dupont flower shop. The
colored girl, who received a. slight in
jury to her leg, was taken to Emer-
gency Hospital. The baron was not
hurt.
While crossing at the intersection of
18th and streets last night about
$50 o'clock Carroll Minor, 917 r street
