THUMB SCREWS USED
ON PRISONERS, is CHARGE

BERLIN. January 5. by wireless to
Sayville-The condition of German
civil and war prisoners in Morocco and
Algeria is described in a memorial
issued by the German government on
the sanitary situation in African camps
as one of terrible suffering, says the
Overseas News Agency. Quoting from
the report. the agency says:
Prisoners are forced to carry on the
heaviest work in building roads and
railroads, unloading cars and ships and
in quarries and swamps. The rest
periods prescribed by regulations many
times are shortened by the arbitrary
acts of subaltern officers.
In certain camps, such as Bousada,
the prisoners are guarded by colored
troops with brutality characteristic of
the Senegal negroes. In the camp at
Abomri, in the French colony of Da-
honey, colored and French colonial
soldiers brutality tortured prisoners
with the sjambok, and even with
thumb screws.
The German memorial says that the
German prisoners were undressed, COM
PEELED to kneel and were whipped by
negroes"

French Civilization.

He continued:
French civilization is integral: it is
not only intellectual, but also senti-
mental: not only masculine, but femi-
nine. 1t addresses the heart as much
as the mind and comes from both. That
is why it is human and shines in its
strength of sympathy for other races
and nations.
French civilization is bilateral. 1t is
the result of the understanding be-
tween the French man and the French
woman, loving and working together.

has. above all, been preoccupied in
persuading and convincing man by her
example. Intellectuals or politicians
are almost unanimously disposed to
grant to the Frenchwoman her po-
litical rights; but it is she who is not
in a hurry; she asks for her new rights
one at a time, that she may be better
