Hop Germany Treats French Prisoners

Clubs and Whips

The German sub officers who inspected the
work v.rs armed with clubs or whips. The
punishment Of imprisonment, which was I'M
practicable, was replaced by the post. Two
hours tied to the post for every day OF I'M
prisonment. This torture was innlcted on
the return from work, after p. m The SUI
ferer was bound to q post in the snow
MANY of our men, refusing to WORK against
us, tried to revolt. They were shut, IKE WHO
beasts. into cages made Of bsrbed wire, strung
on poles. They were left there without shell
ter and without food until, conquered by
hunger and suffering, they begged for mercy
One of our poor fellows endured this torture
for five days.
A pupil of the Higher Normal School,
crazed by hunger, escaped from the trench
where he was working, three hundred metres
from the village Of Behagnies, near Bapaume'
He went TO the village TO seek in the garbage
thrown out Of the German kitchens some
scraps of potatoes and cabbage He collected
these. boiled them with little salt and then
Gevoured the repellent mixture.
The commando stationed at Flabas, which
operated 20 the south Of Csures Wood, near
the tomb of Driant, worked on trench only
eight hundred metres from our line. The
German mitraileuses were placed behind the
workers. The French fire made numerous
victims In Picardy the losses were about ten
killed and a hundred wounded per commando.
Before Veldun, in the commands OF Flabas,
the proportion OF those who died OF hunger
or were killed was 10 per cent This takes no
account of the wounded.

Prisoners Under Fire

Localities near the front. such as Ervillers,
Saint Leger, Bussy and Villers, were full OF
French English and Russian prisoners. They
were in frightful state OF restitution and
squalor. Many OF them had been there for
two, four, six, ten and even fourteen months.
These prisoners, civilian as well as military,
were exposed night and day to artillery fire.
Many of them were killed.
The word "reprisal" is, then, an invention
Of German duplicity, covered by the pretext
that we have kept German prisoners in the
rear of our lines. 1t is used to give an sp-
pearance of legitimacy to diabolical pro-
gramme. By its terrors reprisal facilitates
discipline and obedience on the part of the
prisoners. 1t also seeks to effect demoralza
ton, with view to promoting that peace
Of which the Boches have so imperious q
need Reprisal is thus form Of war. 1t is
war made on prisoners. 1t debilitates the
French race, decimating it with tuberculosis.
From 90 per cent to 80 per cent of our men
have fallen victims TO this methodical and
scientific method of assassination.
All this is written without literary polish,
without exaggeration. 1t carries the convic.
ton of dispositions on oath. 1t is an indict-
ment which is vigorously exact

kAISER'S WEAKENED hLLl

The great success of the present
Russian drive in Galicia shows thai
General RruSiloff and the milltar!
authorities at Petrograd have
thorough knowledge Of the weak
spots in the enemy's line. The weak
est spot is clearly that part OF the
front held by the Austro-Hungariar
troops. This was demonstrated last
wear, when the Russians bagged
nearly half million prisoners IN
their victorious advance. Already
since July l they have taken over
- 900 more. and the movement has
hardly more than started.
The Philadelphia Record in refer
ring to present conditions says such
imposing figures clearly indicate
that the armies OF the Dual Monar-
civ are putting up only a half-heart-
ed resistance and that they sur
render on very slight provocatlnn.
And in this there should be nothing
surprising. The only entirely legal
troops in the armies OF the Empire
are those Of German and Hungarian
stocks. The Slavs, CroatS, CZechS,
Ruthcnians. Poles and the many ot1er
contingents of this poly@lot army
are more in sympathy with Russia
than with Austria. and probably
throw down thei rarms on the least
possible excuse. Indeed. some Czech
regiments are now Sighting on the
Russian side in the belief that Aus
tria's defeat will hasten the day OF
Bohemia's freedom.
\ vigorous Russian offensive,
pushed on without fear of betrayal
by reactionary elements at Petro-
grad. may easily prove the last straw
needed to effect Austria's complete
collapse. With her armies disaffected
and her people torn by internal feuds
her position is certainly perilous. So
far Germany has been able TO stiff
en- her backbone. That she can con-
time to do so indefinitely seems most
unlikely il view OF the gathering
storms that threaten Germany her
self. # Russia succeeds in beating
Austria to her knees the end of the
war cannot be much longer post
poned.

HoILWEG's DEFIANCE

Germany is standing at the point
Of critical decision for itself and for
the world. The United States Is
viewing with vast concern the atti-
tude Of its enemy. Upon the victory
of the forces of reform or the forces
of reactionarism depends whether the
United States will spend years in a
war the outcome Of which is pre-,
determined. but the cost of which II
money and blood would be- stagger-
ing.
The man who has the supreme
word is the Kaiser, and under him
his minister. Nothing could better
port the necessity for reform IN
Germany to make safe the world lor
democracy than the spectacle OF an-
tocracv that is presented if the dis
matches quote the Chancellor cor
rectly.
They state that the Lokal AnZei-
Ger of Berlin, says that the Ger
man head of state told a committed
Of Socialists the policy Of no an
reyation and no indcmnities IS both
dangerous and impossible. He is also
renresentcd as saying that heis OPP
posed to this program, because IL
failed to ALLEVIATE Russia from the
war. Therefore he holds that there
i nothing to do but fight the war
! ont to the last gasp. As the balti-
moro American observes, his logic i
enthusiastically German. 1t ap-
noars well nigh incredible that BETH
mann-Hollweg should make sucn
declaration. But, if authentic, the
citations from him point to the tac'
that Germany realizes that without
indemnities it would be ruined any
wav. The United States will view
the decision as one of infinite mad
ness up5n the part of country
whose defeat will be the vastest trag-
edy in history if it fights to the last
gasp.

WANT LAWS ENFORCED.

f1o VIII NC 5SSi " wv pioSS1';o''
of the Board of Aldermen last night,
most of the members expressed
themselves in unmistakable terms
concerning the lax manner In which
laws of the city are enforced. Stat
utes which have been in the code
Ifor years are ignored by many in
| this city, and the Aldermen took
| the ground that their labors are un-
necessary if they do not have the UNI
divided support of those VINO are
empowered to enforce laws.
The interchange of opinion was
J caused by@a discussion of the pro-
priety Of making it unlawful for
dealers in automobiles to place ma.
| chimes in streets for exhibition or
| sale 1t was alleged that present stat
utcs concerning automobiles are
! ignored in many cases, and instances
were recitsd where autoists place
| their machines in the streets after
dark minus rear lights. 1t was also
alleged that bicyclists are often
seen riding on sidewalks i'll def
ance Of law which has been in the
city code for at least twenty years.
The speed law, it was also alleged,
was being violated all the time
| Other cases were cited IN which
lit was ayerred that certain laws
/ seemed to be more honored in Their
breach than observance. The statutes
l,forhidding the sale of toy pistols,
ire works and explosives it was SAID
ARE violated on every Fourth of July
and Christmas season. The non-en-
forcement Of the compulsory sewer
-, tapp:ng law was also cited.
Attempts have been made Tor
many years to bring about a codlii-
cation Of the city laws, and it seems
that lne WOTk IL dDOul W NC "SNoi'
Sp.ished. When this volume shalt have
been published it will he seen that 1t
.. contains many ordinances to which
but little attention is paid by many
IN Alexandria.
Complaints are often made OF the
violation by certain people OF city
statutes, and the time has come when
the city fathers are openly express
ING their disappointment at present
conditions, and it is hoped that those
who are authorized to enforce me
laws will adopt the words OF the
signal hoisted by Admiral Nelson be-
fore the battle at Cape Trafalgar.
The British admiral wanted every
