One feature which marks tea curing
in Japan Is the proyerblal cleanliness
which Is characteristic of the japanese
people. The rules Of sanitation are
strictly observed by the tea growers Of
Japan. Not only the health and sani-
tation Of workers are strictly examined
by local tea associations, but also the
process Of curing Is inspected with
great care. japanese teas have never
been artificially cOlOred AS have been
teas from some other countries.

Inc oJner TWO SPOKE Geruan anu
had been missing for at least three
days and, l think, had escaped by this
time. They were not returned while
I was at Brandenburg.
This was about a. m. They drilled
us down to the little lake, where the
cold was much greater, and kept us
there until p. m., without food or
drink. At about eight that morning
! they found Fontaine in a French bar
racks and kicked him all the way to
the lake where we were.
All day long we stood there, falling
one by one and getting kicked or beat
en- each time until we dragged our
selves up again. Two or three died
do not know the exact number. But
we had enough strength, when ordered
back to the barracks, to kick Fon-
taine ahead of us all the way. We
did not get anything to eat until seven
the next morning -twenty-four hours
without food and water, ten Of which
were spent in the snow without any
protection from the cold and wind.
No wonder we kicked Fontaine for
bringing this punishment or us and en-
dangering the two who had escaped
he had simply strolled over to the
French barracks and forgot to return.
Now, the food received was just
about enough to keep us alive. l sup
pose, with true kultur, the Huns had

take to keep a man on this side OF

After breakfast they took me out On

Despair-and Freedom.

DeSpair-and Freedom.
While 1 was working at the hos
pital conditions at my old barracks
had been getting worse and worse.
Very few of the men were absolutely
right in the head, L guess, and almost
all had given up hope of ever getting
out alive. Though they put up good
front to the Huns, they really did not
care a great deal what happened to
them. The only thing to think about
was the minute they were living in.
The day 1 came back two English
men, who had suddenly gone mad
commenced to fight each other. 1t was
the most terrible fight l have ever
seen. 1t was some time before the
rest of US could make them quit, be-
