IN GERMAN PRISON CAMPS.

BY Associated Press comes the news
that James Norman Hall is a prisoner
in a Hun prison camp, news that will
be joyfully received by those who had
accepted as final the report that he had
been killed.
Hall, ace among American flyers and
one of our own Iowans. brings the
prison camp close home to all of us.
Other Iowans are prisoners. More
Iowans are TO be prisoners. The Ger
man prison camp becomes an immedi-
ate object of Iowa and American
solicitude when our own friends and
our own soldiers are imprisoned there
We must send those boys the neces-
sary supplies. Just at present it is
common talk and report that the Amer
lean prisoners are being robbed of the
supplies sent them by individuals from
this country. 1t may be true. To a
considerable degree it probably is cor
rect and without doubt much of the
offerings OF Americans 10 their iTI1pTis-
oned soldiers are stolen and made way
with in one and another way.
However TO accept the story OF es-
capped prisoners who have had oppor-
tunity TO see only one prison camp and
whose observation of that has neces-
sarily been limited by the limitations
of prisoner. TO conclude that none OF
the supplies arrive and that il is use
less to send them would be a serious
mistake. We must take the chances
for the sake of the boys and for our
own peace of mind. We must keep on
sending and strive with the German
government TO conform to the agree
ment Of civilized nations in war. Grant
ing that German civilization approx
mates savagery, if we leave untaken
one chance to assist our Imprisoned
soldiers the later knowledge that we
missed one single opportunity will re-
main with US in a sense OF our own
outlines while life lasts
If the German government is pur-
suing a policy Of starvation and insult
toward American prisoners it is com
hitting an unspeakable crime when its
own prisoners are full fed and happy in
American prison camps. There is no
doubt that the German people. at least
part Of It. assail our men with violence
and insults and that instances are COM
mon where guards permit them to
wreak such shameful vengeance on the
helpless, but we shall not tighten the
burdens of American prisoners by re-
prisal in kind. The thing we must
have wholly in mind is the welfare Of
our own men.
Nevertheless it does not seem neces-
sary or part Of the duty of the United
States to make the life Of German
prisoners in American camps one long
gala day.
But first we must seek the welfare
of our own. We care for them and
their health. and such comfort as a
prisoner may enjoy should be our first
thought. If Germany cares greatly for
her fighting men except as pawns
against hostile artillery it is not Of evil
dence. We shall gain nothing for our
own men by cruel reprisal upon Ger
man prisoners, reprisal which the Hun

Saws Conditions Are Growing Better

Orleans, Sept. 30.-Harry Robin
son, chief engineer of the Royal
Naval Moor Boat Reserve, is home
on 80 day furlough, arriving at 1.32
this afternoon, coming from Halifax,
N. B., at which port he landed on
Thursday.
His wife, Mrs. Lizzie Robinson,
and their three children moved here
about a year ago from North Hatley,
Quebec. Mr.. Robinson enlisted in
1916 and left his home in North
Hatley on August 8. After a time
spent in training he has been sta
toned in rhe English Channel, where
submarines are the big fish that
sometimes fail to get away. He re
ports conditions as much better than
year ago in England-more food,
more ships coming. in, and fewer sub
marines. 1t is the larger, newer
boats that are doing the damage now
operating about 200 miles off the
coast, where the older boats cannot
work.
He has been for about five months
in the hospital, having met with a
slight accident in the engine room
and injured his leg, after which in
fection set in and developed a bad
case of blood poisoning.
