TO GO OVER THERE
Boys Living in Hope of Seeing Ser
vice in France Soon.

The following from letter which
Mr.. H. B. Robson received recently
from his nephew, Mr.. Chaffin Blake
formerly Of Lumberton, now in the
regular army shows how the boys feel
about going to France:
eve are all the time living in hope
that we will get to see service in
France some time in the near future.
It looked some time ago like this
regiment would not get to go across,
but things have grown more favorable
in the last few days. The inspecting
general has been here all this week
and says that this regiment is in very
good shape We know that they are
not going to send all their best troops
across, but we are praying that this
will not be one of the regiments to
stay on this side and when the war
is over have to say we belonged to
the home guards. They have take1,
all our best officers and sent them
across already"
The letter was dated April % and
stated that it was showing at Fort
Crook, Neb., where Mr.. Blake is To-
Gated, on that day. Young Blake is
son Of Mr.. P. C. Blake and belongs
to Co. L.. 41St infantry.

AMERICAN PRISONERS
sHAMEFULLY TREATED
Germany Starves Prisoners and
Treats Them With Fiendish
Cruelty.

American prisoners of war are be-
ing shamefully treated, in German
prison camps if all had the experience
of an American interviewed by a
French soldier, also a prisoner in Ger
many, just before he escaped. The
Frenchman's story, as told to Ameri-
can officers, follows:
"a short time before left Hameln,
Hanover, l was able to have a few
minutes interview with an American
soldier who was taken prisoner sew
eral months ago on the French front
Being unwounded he was assigned di-
rectly to a prison camp. Weakened by
excessive work he was forced to do in
the sale mines and being unable to
stay longer he was sent to Hameln.
Il DO not remember the name Of
the man or the number Of his regi-
ment, but he had been among the
his home was in New York. He told
me that during the three months he
was in the Harz mines he had lost SO
pounds. He was man who was SOL
idly built and it could be easily seen
that he had been vigorous and healthy,
but when saw him he was incredibly
thin and so weak that he could hardly
cross a room without stopping re-
peatedly, leaning on pieces Of furni-
ture or supporting himself on boxes
piled there.
'Englishmen also are being badly
treated in the mines. l found out
that three Of seven who were sent
back to Hameln died. Package SER
vice does not exist in the mines and
the prisoners receive practically
nothing. Their only nourishment is
from thin soup made Of barley or cab
bage, sometimes salted, Goldfish eggs
and those Of other fish which it is
! impossible to eat. There are few po-
tatoes and very little bread. It is
impossible for a man to work without
becoming sick or weakened to the
point of falling down.
"The men are struck with rifle
butts and the flat side Of bayonets
and are placed in dark cells on bread
and water. These cells are known to
the mine prisoners as hot chambers
as they are heated by steam to a
high temperature. After the men
are held in these cells they are turn
ed out in the snow where they are
required to stand at Attention for a
certain length of time Needless to
say deaths are frequent.
"This American had been punished
several times in this way and told me
all that l am relating to you. 1 am
/ able to confirm his story because 9TH
er Englishmen and Frenchmen I saw
did not have the strength even to hold
a cigarette"

THE TRAIN THAT SAVED
A NATION
How the Red Cross Helped
Roumania.
KOunlania.

Have you heard of what happened
In Roumania when that stricken nation
stood in rags and starving before the
shocked eyes of the world? We had
thought ourselves grown used to trag-
edies until this greater horror struck
a blow that 'roused still untouched
sympathies.
And yet we felt so helpless, you and
l, so terribly weak in our ability to Of
fer aid. But were we? After all.
were we not the very ones who car
ried new life and hope to the heart Of
Roumania? You shall be your own
Judge.
Fighting with the desperation of de.
spair, the shattered Roumanian army
still struggled to beat off the Kaiser's
bloody Huns, who were mercilesslv
trampling the life out Of the little
kingdom. And the Kaiser smiled bru.
tally as he saw his wolves at work
and knew that from behind the lines.
attacking the fighting men of Rouma-
MIA from the rear, entering the homes
where mothers clung to the frail, dis
torted forms of their babies-was star
vation.
No country around Roumania could
help her-and America was too far
away. Thousands would die before
supplies held in our own country could
be sent her.
Hope was gone. Death by hunger
and by the dripping sword Of the Kai-
ser was closing in. A brave little ma
ton was being torn to pieces.
Then came the miracle. One morn.
ing the streets Of Jassy, the war capi-
tai Of Roumania, swelled with sounds
of rejoicing. A city where the day be-
fore there was heard nothing but the
walls of the starving and the lamenta-
tions OF those mourning their dead
now was awakened by shouts of joy.
You, my friend; you who have help
ed in the heroic work Of the American
Red Cross, had gone to the rescue Of
ROumania. A train Of 81 big freight
cars packed to their utmost capacity
with food, clothing and medicine, tons
upon tons Of it, had arrived in Jassy
after making a record breaking trip
from the great store houses of the
American Red Cross in Russia. Other
trains followed it; thousands we're fed
and clothed and nursed back to health.
For weeks and even to this day the
brave people Of Roumania are being
cared for in countless numbers by our
own Red Cross.
So was Roumania helped, and when
history records how this last fragment
Of sturdy nation was kept out Of the
hands Of the terrible Huns it will give
the victory to your American Red

Compare Your Baby S
First -Four Years
With This

In 1913 little Marie was born in a vii.
lage not far from Mezieres, IL the
Ardennes.
In 1914 Marie's father, called to the
colors, fell at the Marne. And Marie
and her mother stayed in the village,
which was now in the Germans hands.
In 1915 poster was pasted up on
the door of the village church, and
that night Maries mother vanished,
along with score or more of other
women.
In 1916 Marie was still living in that
village existing through the charity
Of the few elderly folk the Germans
permitted to stay.
In 1917 Marie, with all the children
under fourteen years and all the old
people left alive in the village, was
bundled into crowded car and
shipped into Germany, round through
Switzerland and thence into France,
arriving at Evian. She was underfed.
OF course, emaciated, sickly, dirty, too
lightly dressed for the time of year.
And she came into Evian with not a
relative, not friend left in all France
to take care of her.
Who took her? Your Red Cross!
Over there in Evian your Red Cross
took charge of her, cared for her in
the Red Cross Children's Hospital.
clothed her, fed her, built up her
strength, taught her to play-and then
helped the French authorities find her
a HOME.
Multiply Marie by 500 and you will
have some idea of just one days work
your Red Cross does at Evian. 1t is

France, to be sure-but for Just that

AUVERGNE PRAISED BY
 ARKANSAS DEMOCRAT
Reproduces Independents Story of How Auyergne Goes Over Top
 With Bond Quota.

in Wednesday afternoons issue of the Little Rock Democrat appeared the story carried in the Independent several days ago telling how the pa- triotic people of Auvergne went over the top in the Third Liberty Loan drive.
 Comment on the article begins with the Democrat saying:
 "This is not fiction, but q real story of how a little farming com munity of Jackson county, Arkansas, went over the top for the Liberty Loan. It wasn't even necessary to made a drive in Auvergne."
 Following the reproduction of the article, the Democrat commented as follows:
 "HaSs off to the people of Au-' vergne and God bless them! The story of how these loyal people, in their straightforward, whole-souled way, came forward to support their country without having to be urged and pleaded with, and without any accompaniments of music or oratory, deserves a chapter in Arkansas and American history. All Liberty Bond slackers should be asked to read the little story of how Auvergne went over the top, and if they do not then feel like criminals, they are beyond hope of redemption"
