BY Their German Captors
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, April 12.-How Pritish
prisoners Of war in Germany are en-
slaved, starved and subjected to un-
told cruelties is related in an official
report of a government committee.
made public today. The detention
and employment Of non-commission-
ed officers and men captured on the
western front, says the report, "have
brought on these prisoners an amount
of unjustifable suffering for which it
would be hard to find a parallel in
history" s
The report is based Ion an accum,
mutation of evidence and shows that
prisoners have been employed con
stantly under shell-fire send that many
have been killed by British guns; that
they have been kicked and beaten
denied clothing and adequate shelter;
have often been shot and that deaths
from starvation and overwork have
been constant.
French prisoners have been sub
jected to the same treatment. Some
Of the prisoners received neither let
ters nor parcels for eight or nine
months after their capture. Last No

War Gardeners Warned
Against Early Planting

Agricultural experts have issued a
warning to war gardeners not to plant
their garden truck too early, at least
not before April 20 and from then on
until May /. 1t is better, they say
to be little late than too soon.
Up until mid-April one may expect
frost almost any night. and there are
frosts quite often the latter part OF
the month. After April 20. however,
one is reasonably safe in planting
garden truck
Experts do not believe that the re
cent cold weather has injured any
thing, but the more tender garden
truck and declare that wheat and
other similar grains have not been
hurt.
l. T. Beck, Wayne township voca,
tional agrio ultural instructor, advises
farmers not to plant their corn this
year before May 1. Mr.. Beck said
there is such shortage of seed corn
that if the crop should be planted too
early and be destroyed by frost, the
farmers would not possibly be able
to secure enough seed corn for re-
planting OF the crop.
