In closing his talk Private Scott
spoke passionatsly for the Red Cross
and the wonderful work they are do
ing. He said that unless the Red
Cross is given the necessary financial
support they cannot furnish the boys
with food while they are prisoners,
nor care for them after they are
wounded. rH
In conclusion he said tina: while
he had gone through awful treatment
at the hands of the Huns, he would
go back at any time, and do it all
over again for his country and de-
mocracy. ..
The applause that greeted Scott
at all times during his speech was
evidence that he had an appreciative
audience and we hope that the people
Of Williston and Williams may have
the honor again some time in the fu-
ture of hearing him talk again.

PR|v, SCOTT on PRISON LIFE

thru it. The first shot hit Scott in
the arm, totally disabling him. After
being sent with several others, many
of them Frenchmen, to WestphaliS in
q freight car, he was treated at 4
hospital by Doctor Goldberg. The
cruelties inflicted on the inmates were
terrible. The doctor operated on him
taking out several bullets without the
use Of any anaesthetic. On July j,
he was sent to Prison No. 3. Here
J he had his first taste Of prison food
one bowl Of soup, two cups Of dirty
coffee made from acorns and one
half pound of black bread. This was
all they were allowed for one day.
Here too he saw his first glimpse
of German kultur. Some civilians
who had refused to work had been
made to stand at attention on the
tared roofs Of buildings till they be-
came exhausted and fell to the ground.
Transferred Again
On August 18th, Scott with several
others were sent to the prison at
Frankenstein. Here he said the en-
tire population was out waiting for
them-to see what the British looked
like. The people became 80 abusive
that the soldiers in charge had to
take them to q nearby factory. From
here they were taken to Westerhope,
to the great coal mines. When the
men heard they were going here they
knew that by 50 doing they would be
helping the enemy as so offered re-
sistance. They were taken to the coal
mines, and here given numbers by
which they were known. When or
dered to work they refused. When
brought before one Of the officers for
not working Scott said that all they
wanted from the Germans was fair
play. Realizing that it was useless
to offer resistance to sub-humans the
next morning they went to work.
Here, Scott said, he worked till ut
terly exhausted. Refusing to work
again he was taken before q Captain.
Here he was given . taste Of Hun
Kultur himself. He was tied to y
post with his hands behind him for
an entire day. One Of the officers
brought bowl Of soup and set it in
front of him out Of reach and at night
when they came to release him they
kicked over the soup and when he
was united he was given the empty
bowl and told to 60 to his bunk. The
next day the men decided to dig q
tunnel, and this they started. Two
Williston graphic., 1918-06-13

Of the men however ran away. They
were soon caught and brought back
to the camp, beaten before their COM
RAIDS and the next day sent to the coal
tunnel to work. From this on till his
escape, Scott's life was . series Of
refusals to work, and resulting beat
ings.
He was transferred from one camp
to another several times. All the
time the men were treated horribly.
If they refused to work they were
given al kinds Of inhuman treatment.
One Of these instances was describ-
ed. One Of the men upon refusal to
work was taken to q nearby swamp,
tied by his hands to tree several feet
from the ground, stripped to the waist
and left to the mercy Of the swarms
poisonous mosquitoes Of that section.
This worked so we'll and put the pris-
oners to such pain that it became one
of the favorite punishments of the
Hun.
Knocked Out Sentry
One day one of the Hun sentries
said that America was in the war
and on the side of Germany. This SO
enraged Scott that he knocked the
Hun down. For this he was beaten
badly, so that he could not walk, and
was carried back to his hut by some
of the men.
His escape was also of much in
terest. He told how he with partner
traded some soap to a German for
a compass and a map. After maxi
ing plans, they started out one foggy
morning by escaping from the camp
when the sentry was not looking.
They hid in a clump of bushes the
first day and only met one man. By
overpowering him they found their
way to nearby wood. From here
they started as soon as darkness fell.
How they finally got through the
woods and went through . German
village on q rainy day, dressed as
common laborers, unseen and how
they finally got to bridge near the
border line formed one Of the most
interesting part Of Scott's story.
As Scott's companion could not
swim they could not risk passing the
bridge, they went down stream. A.
ter reaching a railroad bridge they
crossed it while a train was passing
and were not seen. After many
weary nights, with sore feet they
reached the Holland Border. From
then on their journey was an easy
one and they returned to England and
then to Canada after three years of
living in hell.

The sentry, seeing that be ate noun
Ing, came inside and shook him oy tne
shoulder, saying In kind voice:
"Cheero, laddie, better cut some
thing. You'll feel better. Don't give
up hope. You'll be pardoned belote
morning. I know the way they run
these things. They're only trying TO
scare you, that's all. Come now, that
q good lad, eat something. It'll make
the world look different to you"
The good-hearted sentry knew no
was lying about the pardon. He kne"
nothing short of q miracle could save
the poor lad.
Lloyd listened eagerly to his sentrys
words. and believed them. A look OF
hope came into his eyes. and ne raven
ously ate the meal beside him.
In about an hours time, the chap'
lain came to see him, but Lloyd would
have none of him. He wanted no par
son; he. was to be pardoned.
The artillery behind the lines sud-
denly opened up with everything tney
had. An intense bOmbardment OF the
enemy's lines had commenced. Tne
roar of the guns was deafening.
Lloyd's fears came back with rush,
ana he covered on the earthen floor
with his hands over his face.
The sentry, seeing his position, came
In and tried to cheer him by talking to
him:
"Never mind them guns, boy, they
won't hurt you. They are ours. We
are giving the Boches dose OF their
own medicine. Our boys are going over
the top at dawn of the morning to take
their trenches. Well give 'em taste
Of cold steel with their sausages and
beer. You Just sit tight now until they
relieve you. I'll have to 60 now, lad,
% IT'S nearly time for my relief, and !
don't want them to see me a-talktn'
with you. SO long, laddie. cheero."
; With this, the sentry resumed the
pacing Of his post. In about ten min
utes' time he was relieved, and q d
company man took his place.
Looking into the guardhouse, the
sentry noticed the covering attitude Of
Lloyd, and, with e sneer, said to him.:

The work of running down s1ackers

No one can figure it out as a matter Of
psychology, but 1t is matter of criminal
record that many men who avoided

for cards of registration, locking up
men who have no such cards. One man
showed his card to an agent one day
and the next day when the agent ap-
peared camouflaged as soldier he re-
fused to show it. The prospect of a
guardhouse made him show it quickly.

RUM0RED MAJ. GEN. KUHN
MAY STAY AT THE FRONT
TO BE Believed Of Command at
Camp Meade and Kept Behind
Firing Lines Over There.

1t Is rumored that Maj. Gen. Joseph
e. Kuhn. commander Of the 79th Dfvi-
sion, assigned here, but now in France
for purposes Of observation, is to be re-
lieved Of his command and kept behind
the firing lines 'over there" principally
because Of his thorough knowledge of
conditions behind the lines Of the enc
my. Gen. Kuhn for two years was mill
tsSy attache with the German army in
this war, and, incidentally, it might be
added that he was military attache with
the Japanese army throughout the
Russo Japanese war.
During the two years he spent with
the German army he gained a store of
knowledge which, 1t is said is Of ut
most value at this time to the United
States and her allies, and Dame Rumor
is whispering that the Liberty Division
ie to lose its democratic commander and
that Gen. Kuhn will remain abroad to
serve in an advisory capacity to Gen.
Pershing, as well ais to command troops.

The same rumor also says that Brig.
Gen. w. ]. Nicholson, acting division
commander. is to be promoted to the
rank Of major general and given COM
mand of the 18th Division. He is the
senior brigadier of the National Army
and the commander of the 18th Bril-
gade. which Is a part of the Liberty Dr.
vision. Both Of the officers are quite
popular, and If the change is to be
made as rumor says, the officers and
men will be sorry to see Gen. Kuhn go,
but they will be mighty glad to know
that Gen. Nicholson has been named as
his successor.
