Bangor. Me.-In contrast with the

CASTOR Julian Defoirdt of Woonsocket.
II. l., now visiting relatives here, that
he would much rather die fighting on
the front line than to go through suchs
pains and miseries as he endured In
two years spent in a German prison
camp. DefOirdt, who is twenty-four
and well educated, was visiting In
France when the war came and very
soon he wa In the ranks. On the sec
ond day of his service at the front he
was wounded in the left a by a frag-
ment of shrapnel and three days later
he was taken prisoner.
With many other prisoners he was
sent to the rear, and there they were
loaded like so many cattle into freight
cars and started on a seven days | q
to the prison camp at Altengrabow.
AT every way station where the
train stopped" says Defoirdt, "the
German people gathered round and
threw stones and spat In our faces.
We were subjected to all sorts of In
suits. Many of us were wounded. yet
we got no attention whatever, being
given scarcely food enough to keep us
alive and made to sleep on the floors
of the dirty freight cars.
When finally we found ourselves in
the German prison camp conditions
were worse rather than better. There
were about 25,000 men at Altengrabow,
all ~nationalities mingled. We were
guarded by German soldiers who had
been incapacitated for service at the
front and who on account of their
wounds were %revengeful toward us.

THE HAPPY BRIDES.

The lady who married four soldiers in order to get
nice little income during the and four good
chances insurance is said hold the record for
daring and numbers in this respect. But girls who
marry soldiers for this purpose said TO be
rather numerous, and girls who have married with
this motive to be found everywhere.
# there is any line Of prohteerng despcabla
than any other, undoubtedly this is the Public
opinion should down crushingly the girl
whose motives the least bit questionable
life war bride would not be worth living,
That the girl who marries in good faith and
works busily relief preparing future
home any productive occupation should have her
allowance of her husbands pay is just particularly
so if there 10 be, children.
But that girl should live in idleness the pay OF
four soldiers-tha idle girl should that allowance
for luxuries while soldier husband is fghting-is
almost beneath contempt.
It is matter that the government would find diff

fundamental facts of motive personal situation But
II is matter which the strong force OF opinion
in their twentes should stop. of every
prospective bride should be made questionable by the
greed OF a few is intolerable.
