Soft for Hun on
English Farms
(By UsIted l,re...,

(By Uulted Presn.)
London, Sept. 20.-(By Mail. )--The
Hun prisoner Of war in Great Britain
has soft lot.
There's no worry about the high
cost of living bothering this captured
Fritz. and he has the rich harvest
fields of England to utilize his idle
ness.
Great Britain employs on farms a.
900 Germans. practically all of whom
were captured ON the Western front.
OF these, 800 live on the farms. their
jobs ranking with those of the Amer
lean farmers .hired man."
The others are kept in clean camps.
under guard. Fritz is well pleased
with his present lot and is content to
abide on his present Job" until the
fighting's all over. There's plenty of
opportunity for the Hun to escape. but
records show a comparatively small
number of attempts.
Great Britain put the scheme for
employing Germans on the land into
effect in June 1917. In that month
15 agricultural camps were estab-
lished. with 100 Huns to each camp.
Since then the number OF camps has
increased to more than 800 with pop
ulation of 10000, and in addition there
is a considerable number employed
on drainage and other work.
The leniency with which Britain
deals with the prisoners is illustrated
at Cheshire; 26 guards take 200 pris-
oners from the camp for distribution
among SO farmers within distance of
three miles. AS mail carrier drops
his letters. the guards drop q prisoner
here and there. maybe two three or four
at the next farm. and so on until all
of the prisoners are disposed Of. II
there are more than three prisoners
left at one farm. guard remains with
them In the evening the guards re-
turn and collect the prisoners.
| At first the scheme of placing the
Huns on farms met with storm OF
protest by women hand workers, and

committees not to allow prisoners and
women to work on the same farm.
Where farms. employing land girls. ad-
Join farms employing Huns. inspectors
are stationed to prevent communica-
tion between the prisoners and the
farmerettes.
At one place prisoner working un-
guarded in . field. jumped over fence
and forced a girl. who was driving a
bakers wagon along the lane. to sell
foaves of bread to him.
At Swindon four Huns are alleged
to have attacked 16-year-old girl.
However. on the whole. the German
war prisoner is content to let well
enough alone and play straight"
As contrast to the generous treat
ment of the Germans in this country,
recent reports from authentic sources
show that allied prisoners in Ger
many are being badly treated.
Towards the latter part of May and
at the beginning of June, several thou
sand Tommies prisonered by the Ger
man offensive. arrived at Stendai
camp suffering from dystenry, septic
poisoning and hunger typhus. They
had been forced to work behind the
German lines on railways and shell
dumps. under British artillery fire.
Many Of them. suffering from lack Of
food had to march six or eight miles
to their work every day. Two hun
dred Of these died at Stendai soon
after their arrival.
This is but an instance Of thousands
of cases Of ill-treatment OF prisoners
by the Huns.

New York.-"French village laun-
dries are wonderful places to the
American soldiers" writes r. J. Kirk,
a former Pacific Coast newspaper man
now doing duty over there, to an old
time friend here.
'Tn fact, every French hamlet has
q municipal washhouse," he continues.
SIT is generally a stone shed built over
q running stream. Here the old
French widows wash the American
soldiers clothes. Soldiers are sup
posed to wash their own clothes, but
not many of them do it unless it is a
long way from payday, or else they're
leaving most of their francs with the
paymaster in the shape Of Liberty
Bonds, wives allotments or similar
payments. @
$50 most of the ssoldats Americana
let the old French women do their
laundry. They do 1t good enough and
cheap enough, but getting back what
the soldier sent there to have washed
is another problem. The old ladies
take the socks, olive drab shirts and
underwear of half company, souse
them all together in a creek, drag them
out, hit them with paddle on the
wooden horses, then pile them and
tell the soldiers to come and get them.

a bit unscrupulous he's likely to get

When Taken to Call.

Unless a man who is taken to call
is of an abnormally lively converse
tional habit, quick to think of some
thing that may pass for a contribution
to current thought, and even quicker to
get it out, he had best accept his posi-
ton as merely decorative, and try TO
be as decorative as possible. Either
he must be so quick that the first
words of his sentence have leaped into
life before he is himself aware of what
is to come hurrying after them, or he
must be so slow that the only sentence
he has is still painfully climbing to the
surface long after the proper time for
its appearance has passed and been
forgotten. Swallow 1T, my dear sir,
swallow it. Silence, accompanied by
wise, appreciative glance of the eye,
is better; for man who has mastered
the art of the wise look does his wife
credit, and is taken home from a call
with his faculties unimpaired and his
self-respect undiminished he is the
same man as when he was taken out.

GIRLS! MAKE A
BEAUTY LOTION
WITH LEMONS
*****~******&************

At the cost of a small Jar of ordinary
,old cream one can prepare full quar-
ter pint of the most wonderful lemon
skin softener and complexion beautifier,
by squeezing the juice of two fresh
lemons into bottle containing three
ounces of orchard white. Care should
be taken to strain the Juice through a
fine cloth SO no lemon pulp gets in,
then this lotion will keep fresh for
months. Every woman knows that lem
on juice is used to bleach and remove
such blemishes as freckles, salfowness
and tan and is the ideal skin softener,
smoothener and beautifier.
Just try it! Get three ounces of
orchard white at any pharmacy and
two lemons from the grocer and make
up quarter pint Of this sweetly frag-
rant lemon lotion and massage it daily
