The statement recounts other incl

best idea of the rigorous discipline at
the camp may be gained from the fol-

most trifling offenses:

GERMAN PRISON CRUELTIES
Inhuman Treatment Given Women
and Girls by Devilish Huns.

Indicative Of the refinements of
German prison cruelties are decu
,lents made public in Washington
Thursday by the Belgian legation
showing the iron-heel disciplinary
methods in vogue at the incarce,a-
ton camp of Holzminden, Germany.
The camp is devoted almost entirely
to French and Belgian women and
young girls torn from their ;1omes
either as hostages or for the purpose
of forced labor. Their home ties sum-
marily severed by Prussion military
needs" these women are required, in
violation Of every precept of interna-
tional law, to labor on war materials
to be used by their Teutonic masters
against relatives in the allied armies.
'Some thirty women" says the
statement, "having refused to work on
sacks for the use Of the German army,
were shut up in barracks No. 13, a
filthy hole without any light. Left
without any food to speak Of, they
were imprisoned from the 18th of Au-
gust to the 10Th Of September, 1917.
They perhaps would have died of hun
ger if charitable hands had not pass
ed them, surreptitiously, little food
prepared secretly. The proposal that
they should give in only aroused their
indignation. Their mattresses and
blankets, ard even the wooden cloth
ing they wore, were taken from them.
Fortunately, on September II, a rep
resentative of the Spanish legation at
Brussels, came to the camp. An hour
before the arrival of this visitor Of
note, the prisoners were released, but
the representative was Informed of
their suffering"
Their long sentence did not break
the spirit of these women, so the camp
officials resorted to even more drastic
punishments as shown by this ''order
of the day for the women's camp"
"The measures which have been
taken with respect to the occupants
Of Barracks No. 13, who refused to
work, have not up to the present time
produced any result.
''In accord with the commandant of
the camp, hereby give the following
orders:
beginning on Friday, September
ID, there again will be enforced the
prohibition against receiving letters,
cards and packages. At The same
time blankets and mattresses will be
taken away as heretofore. I direct
particular attention to the fact that l
shall punish pitilessly every effort to
give those who refused to work the
things which they are forbidden to
have-blankets, mattresses, especial

A CHEER TO THE
BATTLES FRONT
(Sent to The Robesonian by N. J.

! (Sent to The Robesonian by N. J.
Cheer up, brave boys at the front,
you need not feel alone, for we are
with you to the end, We'll do cur part
at home. Well plant the fields and
cultivate and harvest in the fall and
trust in God to make enough to feed
us one and all. Sometimes l think
the strain is more than Uncle Sam
can stand, with all the allies desti-
tute and pressing their demands.
And yet, we can't withhold one thing,
not even our own lives, for nothing
but united force will end this riged
strife. I long to see this war sub
side and all our troubles cease, and
every nation on this globe, unite in
perfect peace. So cheer up, brave
boys, do your best, be valient to the
end, we'll conquer every German foe,
the Huns and all their friends. Then
Kaiser Bill will come to you and hold
up his right hand and say he'll favor
any terms the allies may demand.
And then the mothers will arise and
wipe away their tears, that have been
flowing all this time for their loved
ones so dear. The hungry millions
will be fed, the grieving parents cheer
ed, the tombs alone among the dead
to mark the heroes there. And yet
across this picture dark, CLEAN of

shall wave abroad and every man be
free. When every nation, hand in

and say for true democracy, they ever
will contend And when our boys
shall reach home and tell the story
true, We'll all shake hands and victory
shout, and start in life anew. The
Jews once forced from Palestine, this
world at large to roam, will then re-
turn and reunite and make themselves
at home. And then at old Jerusalem
temple will be reared and in it for
eternal life the Jews will be prepared.
