Atrocities In German

New York, July 20.-The Rev.

Madison avenue church here some Of
the sights he had seen in seven
months work among prisoners OF
war in Germany
Saying that he would tell only Of
what had come under his personal OBJ
servatiOn Mr.. kennard told Of a Brit
ish officer, a former pugilist, who
Knocked out with his bare knuckles
ane Of his German guards who drew
a sabre against him and his COM
panions.
The Britisher was sentenced TO
DEATH but Intervention got this SEN
tence committed TO life imprison-
menr in fortress where he now is.
"A prisoner with the first sign Of
tuberculosis might as well dig his
own grave said the speaker Il saw
these men, for want Of proper food,
dying all around me-"
Mr. kennard said that when he was
in the prison camps the Germans
Piled Irish prisoners with favors and
aluring offers TO accept service in a
special battalion against the British
Both were accepted with Hfbernian
Wlnks, the speaker continued. and
when it appeared that no more Of the
former we're 10 be had, the prisoners

they preferred TO remain prisoners

Dame Fashion Is particularly interested in furs this
son and consequently the fur market is displaying the
results Of her caprices. At this time when pelts and
workmanship are bringing unheard-of prices, she has
set her mark of approval on fur garments that have
reached the top notch in avishness both from the point
Of view of style line and the value of the SKINS employed
in their creation.
One phase of this Inconsistency the short fur that
at first glance seems to be an effort at economy The
short fur coat Is IN vogue not because It has foot
two cut off from around the bottom and consequently
something off the price as compared with the full length
