were begun today in the Senate judi
ciary committee on the bill by Sena-
tor King of Utah to revoke the char
ter of the German-American alliance
Those supporting the bill were heard

organization was disloyal.

the object of which was to establish
the doctrine of pan-Germanism in the
United States as had been done in
Austria.

AND STARVATION
Under Harsh Methods OF the Germans Youths Of Twenty
Looked Like Men of Forty One Doctor For 1000 British

man lines were sent to lleilsberg,
East Prussia, or Trelon, in Prussian
Poland. \ witness describing the
arrival of about three hundred of
these prisoners at Heilsberg early
in october. says they were mostly
stretcher cases and We're taken to
the hospital. but many of those sent
to the camp were so weak they could
hardly walk. He says youths of
twent looked like men forty years
old.
At Trelon. which is supposed to
be Il hospital for prisoners disabled
while working on the western front
conditions were even worse. The
place was supposed to accommo-
date four hundred, but there We're
about a thousand there. There was
but one doctor in attendance on the
men, many of whom were in shock
ing condition.
Only one bright spot is found in
the narrowing record. This relates
to the Deynze hospital for the
Fourth German army. where. al
though many supplies were short,
prisoners received careful treatment.

Germany Must Pay Great
Britain 8 Billion Pounds

London, Dec. Z. - Great Britain
will demand of Germany fS,000,-
900, ZOO for Great Britain and her
dominions as reparation for the war,
according to The Daily Mail. The
newspaper says it understands that
David Lloyd George, the premier,
will make this announcement in a
speech at Leeds to-day.
This, The Daily Mail adds, is what
the war cost Great Britain and her
dominions, and British taxpayers
will be relieved of f400, 100000 per
annum by the German payment.
Discussing the question of the war
damages Germany will have to pay,
Foreign Secretary Balfour said last
night:
I think, if the amount is to be de-
termined by President Wilson S
fourteen points, the narrowest in
depreciation of those points would
call for a payment which would
strain Germany's resources to the
utmost

London, Dec. Kurt Eisner, the
reports have been issued by the gov
ernment committee investigating the
treatment of British prisoners of
war. These deal mainly with the
treatment of men captured during
the spring offensive of 1918 and re-
late largely to the employment of
prisoners behind the German lines.
Like previous reports, they are
long, shocking records of brutality
and caHous neglect. A typical eN-
tract from testimony given by pris-
oners who escaped to British or
French lines follows:
Several prisoners died of starva-
ton at Ramcourt. Later deaths of
starvation became even more nu-
merous. When l left Bazancourt
about 150 men were suffering badly
from dysentery and half of them
were mere living skeletons. There
was a lot of sickness at Cappey,
caused from lack of~food and expos
ure. No attempt was made to REM
edy these conditions"
Large numbers of prisoners no
longer fit to work behind the Ger

Ask Soldiers Not to Drop
Uncle Sans Insurance

Because of the many reports that
have reached the local Red Cross
Chapter of soldiers from local fam
lilies who have dropped their insur-
ance, or who expect to, the Home
Service Section of the chapter, at the
request of department headquarters,
has issued an appeal to the families
of soldiers not to have the Insurance
dropped. In some cases the families
have failed to receive the insurance
certificate, which caused some SOL
diers to think that they were paying
for insurance protection which they
were not receiving. Such is not the
case. Soldiers are insured by the
Bureau of War Risk Insurance of the
United States Government as soon as
the soldier pays his premium even
though his family has not received
the certificate
other soldiers. discharged from
service, thinking all cause for in
surance to be over, are dropping the
Insurance as soon as they are dis
charged from the Army. There is
no reason for this. as the insurance
is by far the cheapest and safest that
can be secured. and can later be
changed to n straight life insurance.
