GERMAN PRISON CRIMES REC|TED

1T was here they had a peculiar
form Of torture. Two big poles were
erected In the center Of the camp.
The officers would pick out couple
OF p1en--for no apparent cause beyond
the fact that they were hated British
ers--and have them tied tightly to the
poles. with ropes around their arms
and tteir feet about an inch from the
ground Then they would set bowl
Of shadow soup-our only food-in
front Of them. and leave them there
for 4S hours. Three times was given
this torture. OF course ones head fell
forward while In this position. and one
was compelled to look at the bowl Of
soup that could not be reached. while
hunger added to the pain Of the tight
ropes and the terrible WEAKNESS of
suspension.
Another fnvOrite entertainment for
the officers was to compel us to run for
hours with our bare feet In wooden
sabots that chnfed with every step.
We would run until we dropped from
sheer exhaustion.
"From Senne Lager ! went to Linn
berg.
AT Limberg we we're inoculated
with some virus, which we were told
was to make us immune from typhus.
The strange thing Is that soon after

with what they called bronchitis II

Only the best gas masks win save
our boys from painful deaths. These
masks cannot be made without good
charcoal. Wood charcoal has proved
deficient. The best charcoal can be
made from peach stones, prune pits.

shells, hickorynut shells, walnut or

Our government needs every stone
and pit that can be had, and needs
them NOW.
These stones and shells should be
well dried, either in an oven or in
the sun.
We appeal to every man, woman
and child in Greene county to save
their peach stones, hickorynut and
walnut shells, and after they have
been well dried, to bring them in

Proceedings Of
Last Saturdays
Teachers Meet

The first meeting Of the teachers
of Greene county was held in the
courthouse Saturday, September Ii.
Owing to late announcement, the
attendance was less than usual. No
specific program was followed.
After a short prayer zy Mr.. Burk-
hart and America sung under the
leadership of Mr.. Knipp, the chair
man, Mr.. Harold, called for i'm
promptu talks by many teachers on
the school situation in this county
Mr.. Peirce, the county superin-
tendent, began the discussion by say
ing that more children were enrolled
in school than ever before. He en-
phasized few points, namely, to let
the school be a synonym for all that
is conducive to elevating and refining
the children mentally, morally and
physically, and that distracting infu-
ences of any nature during the week
are not calculated to get results.
Regular hours Of opening and clos
ing promotes discipline and that in
our own community let US seek speak
ers to advise us rather than importing
them from elsewhere.
More than dozen teachers fol-
lowed with remarks concerning com
munity fairs, cooperation Of patrons,
the large attendance and the live
conditions that generally exist.
The attendance officer, Mr.. Su-
song, attributes the large attend
ance to the world war which has
created a greater desire for learn
ing and enlivened our sensibilities in
this, as we'll as other ways. His most
pregnant fact was that teachers are
getting ready for the aftermath
when the European maelstrom of
misery is over.
Miss Moore advocated fairs as
means Of getting patrons interested
and competitive spirit among chill
dren. Education Of the hand as well
as the head is essential. 0
Mr.. Pierce closed the meeting by
urging all teachers to be subordinate
to the superintendent and to achieve
success, unity is necessary.
Miss Fitzgerald, Miss G'Fellers and
Mr.. Burkhart were appointed to ar
range programs for the monthly
meetings held during the school year.
The next meeting will be held on
October 18th.
