That the Germans never for one
moment let up on their inhuman treat
ment Of allied prisoners, not even
when they saw that the end was neal,
is evidenced by a dispatch from Brit
ish headquarters I'm France telling of
the arrival of the first batch of re-
leased British prisoners.
Men who had been In the prime of
life when they were taken prisoner
only last March were scarcely able to
stagger across the allied lines, and
numbers of them dropped dead on the
journey from sheer exhaustion. The
story of their narrowing condition has
just been described by an eye-wit-
ness.
A PitifuI Procession.
"Along the roads that lead to the
allied lines from territory that is
day pitiful professions of broken,
starving men-prisoners newly re-
leased from prison camps in Belgium.
The sight of them makes ones heart
ache. They are mere shadows of men
I'm rags and t~atters, stumbling along
rough stone roads, their sunken eyes
strained for the first glimpse of the
allied khal.i.
"The Germans opened the door of
their cages on Thursday morning and
told them they could go. They walked
into free air like men in a dream,
and were set upon highways that
would take them to outposts of the
halted allied armies. Empty-handed,
without great coats to protect them
from bitter air, some Of them indeed
tunic pinned across their wounded bod
les, they have walked the weary road
toward home scarcely able to keep
upright.
"Some of them died upon the way,
and their bodies lie in rough graves
where they fell. Others barely kept
body and soul together until they
came at last into the hands of their
comrades within the lines.
"One such procession passed the
OUlDOSlS east u SOutlAdi NCly Y
Gently. The men who composed 1t
bore little resemblance to British sol
dlers. They wore German caps and
the horrible prison uniforms which
made them look like German soldiers,
and at first troops who received them
could not believe they were their own
people.
In Shocking Condition.
'They came from prison camps at
Halle, west of Brussels, where they
had been employed in loading ammu-
milton, chiefly bombs for airplanes
which attacked towns behind the al
lied lines. All of them were taken
prisoners during the fighting around
Givenchy, Festubert, and the Lys
last March and April. These prison
ers had only two baths in eight
months.
"They were herded like cattle and
fed far less. One boy of twenty
might have been a lad of ten, so
shrunken was his body from syste-
matte starving. Many of them were
disfgured by untrimmed boards and
ragged hair, and their faces and bod
les were covered with sores. 1t is i'm
possible to give an adequate picture
of their shocking condition.
"The little column was taken first
to a divisional rest camp and when
the men had been medically exam
ined they were sent to the nearest
baths and her fed and given fresh
clothing. There are said to be sew
eral thousand allied prisoners re-
leased from camps in Belgium now on
their way into u lines at various

Does The Brunswick

No. In spite of its overwhelming
advantages, the price is comparable
with those lacking Brunswick ideas.
Model for model, the Brunswick has
been kept at the usual prices. Yet it
could easily command more.
This instrument is made by the
House of Brunswick, a leader for 73

900 WOMEN NEEDED
BY SALVATION ARMY
Commander EvangeIine Booth
Says War Relief Work
Must Be Extended.

Commander Evangeline Booth, lead
er of the Salvation Army in the Unit
ed States, has been suddenly called
upon to furnish 800 additional war
work women for France. The request
Is contained in a report just received
by her from Col. William A. Barker
of the Salvationist forces, whom she
sent to France over a year ago to es-
tablish hutment and general war relief
work with the American troops.
"We will do all we can to fill this
demand" said Commander Booth when
discussing the approaching United
War Work Campaign, land the need
itself should impress the American
public all the more with the absolute
necessity for sustaining and enlarging
the war relief work of the seven or
ganizations, besides the noble Red
Cross, now merged for a drive for
funds. Each is q vital cog in a vast
machine for human relief, and each Is
indispensable, serving its particular
elements in Its own way.
"The Salvation Army was born In
hardship, reared in privation and
trained to every phase OF human mis-
cry and how to cope with 1t. Perhaps
that accounts in some degree for the
success our work has attained and for
which we are thankful.
1--WE are of the common people, and
we toll on practical basis. We learn
ed the lesson of how to do it In the
Boer war, when we stood at the side
Of Britains troops and weathered 1t
out to the end. We have been tried
by fire, and the mothers and fathers
of America, as in other countries, trust
the Salvation Army to do the thing
they would like to do for their men If
they but had the chance.
"With 1910 trained workers at the
front, operating from 400 huts and
dugeuts, the Salvation Army is doing,
has done and will continue to do its
best for the cause of humanity and
