BRITISH PRISONERS
SUFFER Shocking
NEGLECT IN CAMPS 5
Government Investigators Find
Evidence Of Deliberate Policy
Of VindiCtiVeneSS
DEATHS FROM HUNGER
WERE VERY FREQUENT

AT IrGEOn camp, bGi1C 10 ~ACSOnSA1Ao~
date 400 Men, 1000 Were Crowded
In and Had But One Doctor to
Attend Thern-Report Discloscs
Ffendish Brutality-Exc1sc of leu
tons Merely Pretense.
London. Dec 1.-Two additional
reports have been issued by the gov
ernment committee investigating the
treatment of British prisoners of war.
The first deals mainly with the treat
n1ent of men captured during the
spring offensive Of 1918 and relates
largely to the employment of prisoners
behind the German lines. Like pre-
ViOuS reports, it is a long, shocking
record of brutality and callous neg
lect. A typical extract from testimony
given by prisoners who escaped to
British or French lines follows:
Many Die of Starvation.
Several prisoners died of starva-
ton at Ramcourt. Later deaths Of
starvation became even more numer-
Gus, When I left Bazancourt about
LOU men were Sull0FtuS DdQiy
dysentery and half Of them were mere
wing skeletons. There was a lot Of
sickness at Cappey, caused from lack
of food and exposure. No attempt was
made to remedy these conditions"
Large numbers of prisoners no long
er fit to work behind the German lines
were sent to Heilsberg, East Prussia,
or Trelon, in Prussian Poland. A wit
80 o1@
three hundred of these prisoners at
Heilsberg early in October, says they
were mostly stretcher cases and were
taken to the hospital, but many Of
those sent to the camp were SO weak
they could hardly walk. He says
youths of 20 looked like men 40 years
old.
Terrible Conditions at Tre1on.
At Trelon, which is supposed to be
a hospital for prisoners disabled while
working on the western front, condi-
tions were even worse. The place was
supposed to accommodate 400, but
there were about 1000 there. There
was but one doctor in attendance on
the men, many of whom were in
shocking condition.
Only one bright spot is found in the
narrowing record. This relates to the
Deynze hospital for the Fourth Ger
man army where, although many
supplies were short, prisoners re-
ceived careful treatment and adequate
food, including wine and eggs, when
necessary.
Deliberate Policy of Vindictiveness.
The second report, dated October
%, says the conclusion was reached
that events in the camps attached to
the Tenth Army Corps point to a de-
liberate policy of vindictiveness with
a definite purpose of reducing the
health of officer prisoners. It is said
this impulse sprang from responsible
German authorities and was directed
by them. The war ministry did not
interfere for the alleged reason that
it had no authority over the COM
mander of any army corps. The COM
mittee says this seems a mere pre-
tense.

The secretary of the treasury asks
you to work and save, and lend your
savings, to the government, and after
the war all your savings will be re
turned to you with interest. Isn't this
a big opportunity for service?
To do a little figuring in simple
| arithmetic suppose that every one OF
the 20,000,OO0 boys and girls in the
schools of this country could earn and
save Is cents week and buy United
States government thrift stamp. How
much money would that put into Uncle
Sans treasury at Washington each
week?
Five million dollars!
And if this saving continued for a
year, how much would be provided to
help finance the government? Fifty
two times $5,000,000 are $260000, 900.
Two hundred and sixty million dol
lars in 25-cent thrift stamps! Four
cents every weekday and penny on
Sunday, from every school boy and
school girl, will bring in this great
sum to the government.
Ships are the great need now to get
our men and supplies across the At
lantic so let imagine these savings
used by the government to build 5000
ton transports. One of these vessels,
of which many are now building in
our shipyards, costs about 100000;
so that with $G6O,OOO.OO0 the govern
ment could build 1876 ships.
This great transport fleet would
keep an army of 100000 men il

munitions needed to make them an
