ARE
BADLY

London.-A corporal in the Lincoln
shires, who was taken prisoner in
April, 1917, and who succeeded In es-
Gaping from the Huns clutches In
June, 1913, has given a very interesting
account Of his experiences. He Is a
man Of the highest character and his
story IS, therefore, worthy Of credence.
He was captured April II, 1917. near
Algicourt, and was at first taken to
the German headquarters, behind the
line. He was questioned. but refused
70 give any information. He was
then sent to a working party behind
the German lines at a place called
Maretz, and was'employed on a ration
dump. The party was about 16 kilo-
meters from the line; they could see
the British shells bursting a mile or so
away. but the corporal never heard Of
any casualties among the prisoners.
There vas q commandment In charge
OF the camp, and the second in COM
mand was q feldwebel. Both these of.
ficials treated the prisoners very badly.
The first day that they were In camp
the c~ommandant came, and the field
webel shouted "Achtung." The men
did not know what he meant and did
not therefore spring to attention, as
they should have done. The field
webel thereupon struck them with q
whip. The sentrIes also treated them
very badly.
Picks Up Food-shot.
When the prisoners were returning
from work the Frenchw0men used to
throw them food and other things. The
men knew that It was forbidden to
step out Of the ranks to pick these
things up, but they were so hungry
that they often broke the rules. The
corporal saw a a shot by a sentry
for. stepping out Of the ranks In this
way. He was killed instantly, the bul.
let passed right through him, went
through another mans. pocket and
blew the finger, or two fingers, Of a
third man. There we're two other men
shot in the same way; the corporal
saw them both brought into the lager.
The prisoners got no food from Eng
land while they were on this working
