kultur-the Real stuff.

Neustrelltz was mainly for Russian
prisoners, and there were neither Brit
ish nor French soldiers interned there
only sailors of the merchant marine
such as the men / was with. The
Russians were given far worse treat
ment than any other prisoners. This
was for two reasons, as near as could
make out. One was that the Russian
would stand most anything, whereas
the British and French could only be
goaded to certain point, and beyond
that lay trouble. The other reason
was that the Russians sent German
prisoners TO Siberia, or ut least, SO the
Huns thought, and Fritz hates the
cold SO, hating the Russians, and
realizing that they We're used to be-
ing uuder-dogs, Fritz picked on them
and bulllcd them In way that the
rest of us would not have stood. We
would have rushed them ans gone
west with bayonets first.
The barracks were made of spruce,
and were about ninety feet long and
twenty-five feet wide, and you can
take II from me that as carpenters
whoever made them were fine farm
ers There were cracks In them that
you could drive an automobile through

GOOD ROADS ARE NECESSARY

ments Imperative for Transporta-
tan Of Supplies.

Good roads have long been a need.
Today they are a necessity. Instead
Of putting by road improvements until
the war IL over, war needs make i'm
mediate road development the more
imperative. The country can produce
plenty of food and supplies If we can
but transport them where they are
needed. The motor car and the motor
truck can do the work II the roads are
put in shape and kept in shape. 1t is
not too much to say that bad roads In
America threaten the lives of our men
on the fighting front They must have
munitions, food and equipment, and
these must be taken to them over
roads here as well as abroad. Do your
part by boosting road improvement in
your community. The time to start Is

EVIDENCE OF LITTLE WORTH
Illeoibility Of shakespeare's Signature
Does Not Prove He Did Not
Write the Immortal Plays.

Some years ago, when the Shakes
peare controversy was at Its height,
one of the contentious of the party
who declared that the bard not oply
had not written the immortal plays
but could not even write his own
name, gave as evidence the existing
signatures that are Of undoubted au.
thenticity.
On the same grounds 1t might be
argued that Richard III was unable
to write, If one decided the matter
from the signature to treaty Of
peace with Francis, Duke of Brittany,
which is reproduced In n London deal
er's catalogue Just received.
1t is a mystery how the cataloguer
managed to make Orchard Rex" out
of the shaky scribble which is there
reproduced. 1t would be quite as like

1t seemed to get colder and colder, We
did not mind 1t so much. At about
eleven that morning, we arrived at q
place called Minden and saw a prison
camp there-just a stockade near tho
tracks with the boys out in the open.
We waved to them, and they waved
back and gave cheer-oh or two. We
felt sorry for them, because we knew
we were not going to that camp, and
from what little we saw, we knew we
could not be going to worse place
than they were In. / shall never sor-
get Minden, because IL was here that I
received the only cigarette had while
l was In Germany.
Minden Is quite a railway center, ]
guess, and when we pulled into the
depot, we saw many troops going to
the front or coming back. As at all
important German railway stations.
there was Red Cross booth on the
platform, with German girls handing
out barley coffee and other things to
the German soldiers. / saw q large
shanty on tho platform, with Red

me, and l could not have blamed them

That was the first and last cigarette
got in Germany, and you can be-
lieve me when / say that I enjoyed
1t. There was not much to 1t, but I
smoked 1t until there was not enough
left to hold in my mouth, and then l
used what was left and mixed 1t with
the bark that we made cigarettes ont
of. Incidentally, this bark was great
stuff. / do not know what kind Of
tree 1t was from, but 1t served the
purpose. Whenever a fellow wanted

cigarettes, q few puffs were enough.
He did not want to smoke again for

he did not want to eat either. They
were therefore very valuable.
1t Is very hard to get matches In
the camps, and when any prisoner
does get hold of one. 1t Is made to last
long time. Here is how we make a
match last. Some one gives up the
sleeve Of his coat. an6 the match Is
carefully Lit, and the coat sleeve

as you have seen boys do, with the
string over both hands, moving the
hands together and apart until the
BUTTON revOlves very fast.
We then put a piece Of flint against
the erispcd cloth. and buzz the button
against 1t until spark makes the
crisp glow. and from this we would
light our bark cigarettes. l do not
think any man in the world could in

the various state highway commissions
disclose surprising lack of organiza-
ton and legislation to cope with the
situation that promises to be worse this
winter than the freight congestion and
embargo period of last winter.
Never before in history have Amer
lean highways played such an impor-
tant part in transportation. Fleet after
fleet of powerful motortrucks are ply
ing between towns and cities. They
release thousands and thousands of
freight cars for war duty elsewhere.

calamity.

That improved roads would benefit
our cOantry-school system there would
seem to be no doubt. Good roads
make it possible to consolidate or CEN
tralze the schools and to establish
graded schools in the rural districts.
Such schools centrally located will ac-
commodate all of the children within
u radius of four or five miles. In
many communities having the advan-
tage of improved roads commodious
buildings have been provided, more
competent teachers employed and mod

CHURCHES NOT HARD TO FILL
Religious Edinces In England Where
the Congregations Are OF Neces-

There are many churches that Mt
tract attention by their size and grand
eur. There are few that are remark
simplicity. One of these is at Lulling-
ton, Sussex, England.
1t is a primitive and quaint stone
building with roof of red tiles.and q
tiny weatherboarded turret at its west
end. This miniature church Is only I6
feet square.
It's pulpit is a pew with paneled
the plainest. Five narrow, diamond
paned windows give light to the inte-
rior. When the church is full 30 per-
sons are gathered together.
Only a little larger is the meeting
house at Crawshawbooth, village
near Burnley. 1t is known as the
Friends meeting house and Is covered
with ivy and surrounded by we'll
cared-for burial ground. Inside may
be seen half dozen oak benches that
could, II necessary, accommodate 90
persons. The attendance Is rarely more
than six.
Somewhat smaller than this chapel
Is one that has been called the shrine
Of Quakerism. 1t Is In the hamlet Of
Jordans, in BuckInghamshire. Thither
In June Of each year come Quakers
from all parts, for here lie the remains
Of William Penn. If this were not
enough to make the place interesting,

ROADS IN SHAPE FOR WINTER
Need for Improved Highways This

Highway preparedness for next win

many states whose roads of military
and economic Importance will demand
their utilization during the "snow-

for snow removal of every state in the
Union having sufficient snowfall to i'm
