SOME PRISONERS
DIED OF STARVATION
Say Two Additional Reports on Investi-
CATION of Treatment of British
Prisoners.

London, Wednesday, Dec. 1.-Two ad
ditional reports were issued tonight by
the government committee investigating
the treatment Of British prisoners of
war. The first deals mainly with the
treatment of men captured during the
spring offensiyes of 1918 and relates
largely to the employment of prisoners
behind the German lines Like previous
reports, it is a long, shocking record of
brutality and callous neglect. A typical
extract from testimony given by prison
ers who escaped to British or French
lines followsi
Several prisoners died of starvation
at Ramcourt. Later deaths of starvation
became even more numerous. When
left Bazancourt, about $50 men were suf-
fering badly from dysentery and half Of
them we're merely living skeletons. There
was lot of sickness at Cappey, caused
from lack of food and exposure, No at.
tempt was made to remedy these CON
ditions'
Large numbers of prisoners no longer
fit to work behind the German lines were
sent to Heilsberg, East Prussia, or Ire
Ion, in Prussian Poland. A witness, de-
seribing the arrival of about 800 of these
prisoners at Heilsberg early in October,
says they were mostly stretcher cases
and were taken to the hospital, but many
Of those sent to the camp were so weak
they could hardly walk, He says youths
of 20 looked like men 80 years old
At Trelon, which is supposed to be a
hospital for prisoners disabled while
working on the western front, conditions
were even worse. The place was sup
posed to accommodate 400, but there
were about thousand there There was
but one doctor in attendance on the men,
many of whom were in shocking con.
dition.
Only one bright spot is found in the
narrowing record This relates to the
Deynze hospital for the 4th German
army, where, although many supplies
were short, prisoners received careful
treatment and adequate food, including
wine and eggs when necessary
The second report, dated Oct. IS, says
the conclusion was reached that events
in the camps attached to the 10th army
corps point to deliberate policy of win.
dictiveness, with definite purpose Of
reducing the health of officer prisoners.
1t is said this impulse sprang from re.
sponsible German authorities and was
directed by them. The war ministry did
not interfere, for the alleged reason that
it had no authority over the commander
Of any army corps. The committee says
this seems mere pretense.

TILLERS OF THE SOIL
ARE GIVEN TRIBUTE
Sec. Houston Tells of Bumper Crops
Raised During the Year Which
Played Important Part in
Winning the War.

Washington, d. G., Dec. Tribute to
the part played by the nations soil till

1918, transmitted TO Congress to-day by
the White House. Bumper crops were
grown both this year and last in spite Of
adverse weather, the secretary says, and
the millions of men and women and boys
and girls on the farm with the organized
agencies assisting them performed salts
factorily the supremely important task
Of sustaining their own country and
those associated with it in the war
Emphasizing the difficulties and the
absence of dramatic glamor in the war
Job Of the farmer, Mr.. Houston, speaks
with satisfaction of the change during
the past year toward giving agriculture
a larger place in the newspapers and
magazines and the worlds thought and
bringing the great urban populations into
closer touch with rural life
1T is one thing to ask man to save,
says the secretary, contrasting the task
Of the one who conserves and the one
who produces, 1T is another to ask him,
confronted as he is by the chances OF
the market and the risk of loss from
disease, food and drouth, to put his labor
and capital into the production of food
and feeds, and the raw material for
clothing"
Pointing out that the size of the har-
vest may not measure the labors Of the
farmer. Mr. Houston records that the
acreage planted this year in principal
products aggregated 2s9,000,0O0 acres, or
more by 100000 acres than in the pre-
ceding record year, Despite unfavorable
climatic conditions, estimated yields for
the year, with 1917 comparisons, were;

Proposed Amendment for COmpensa-
 tiOn of Injured WOrkmen.

Petitions are in general circulation asking that proposed amendment to the constitution be put on the ballot this fall, providing for compensation of injured workmen. If sufficient names are secured on the petitions, the amendment will go on the ballot and be either accepted or rejected by the voters in November. Reading of the amendment shows successful eff fort to get out law in simple words and with definite provision of fixed sums to be paid as compensation.
 The proposal is state insurance, paid by the employer and without charge to the employe. Cost to employers will be less than insurance purchased from insurance companies, notwith- standing the compensation provided for specified injuries of every kind, is higher than in any other state. Neither employer or employe is com pelled to work under the measure, but is so advantageous to both that they will each want to. Otherwise, they have recourse to the common law. General taxes would be reduced under the proposed amendment, as it would do away with litigation in the courts over personal injuries. = Oatman News.
