The Devils Lake world and inter-ocean. (Devils Lake, N.D.) 1915-1920, 1918-05-08

Last Wednesday there was a mass
convention held in the city of Minot,
the purpose of which was to recon-
mend to the taxpayers and voters of
the state men to seek the Republican
nomination at the June primaries, for
the various state offices.
To say the least it was one of the
most harmnious and yet enthusiastic
meetings ever held in the state, and
nearly four hundred men from every
corner of the state were there to join

make the race for governor is at the
present time state treasurer, and is
one of the most straight forward, and
upright men in our state, and it goes
without saying that if he is nominated
and elected governor, that he will not
only be governor in name, but will be
a man that our state may we'll feel
proud. Later on we will have more to
say about each candidate selected to
make the race.

fair state.
After the proposed ticket was select
ed, set Of resolutions were passea,
pledging the people of the state a
square deal, and pledging loyalty to
our state and nation. Every man
selected as a prospective candidate is
vouched for as being 100 per cent Am

US. PRISONERS
CRUELTY USED
AMERICANS SOLDIERS SENT TO
SALT MINES IN WEAKENED
CONDITION.

With the American Army in France
May 6.-American prisoners Of wa>
are being shamefully treated. in Ger
man prison camps if all have had the
experience of an American interview
ed my French soldier, also prison
er in Germany, just before he escaped
The Frenchman's story, as told to
American officers, follows $50,
"A short time before left Ham
elm, Hanover, I was able to have a
few minutes interview with an Amerar
can soldier who was taken prisoner
several months ago on the French
front. Being unwounded, he was as
signed directly to a prison camp.
Weakened by excessive work, he was
forced to go into the salt mines and
being unable to stay longer, he was
sent to Hameln.
Had Been Vigorous Man.
I do not remember the name of the
man orthe number of his regiment
but he had been among the first
Americans in the trenches and his
home was in New York. He told me
that during the three months he was
in the Harz mines he had lost 33
pounds. He was man who was sol
idly built and it could be easily seen
he had been vigorous and healty,
but when saw him he was incredibly
thin and so weak he could hardly
cross room without stopping re-
peatedly, leaning on pieces of furni-
ture or supporting himself on boxes
piled there.
British Also Mistreated.
".Englishmen also are badly treated
in the mines. ! found out that three
Of seven who were sent back to
Hamelin died. A package service does
not exist in the mines and the prison
ers receive practically nothing. Their
only nourishment is from thin SOUP
made of barley or cabbage, sometimes
salted Goldfish eggs and those Of other
fish, which it is impossible to eat.
There are few potatoes and very
little bread. It is impossible for a
man to work without becoming sick
or weakened to the point of falling
down.
Heat Cells With Steam.
sThe men are struck with rifle
butts and the flat side of bayonets
and are placed in dark cells on breaC
and water. These cells are known
to mine prisoners as hot chambers,
as they are heated by steam to high
temperature. After the men are held
in these cells they are turned out in
the snow, where they are required to
stand at attention for certain
length Of time. Needless to say
deaths are frequent.
"This American had been punished
several times in this way and told me
all I am relating to you. l am able
to confirm his story, because other
Englishmen and Frenchmen saw at
Hamelin did not have the strength
even to hold a cigarette"

+ chief of staff the American army
+ July 1, or two months hence, will

+ There are now about 1,700,-

+ 900 the number will be nearly
j. 25C,00O.
4 Larger drafts cannot be handl-
! ed at the training camps in the

+ because of the huge exodus of

+ The committee was told that it

tion OF how to do it.
The game is great fun and is played
with five teams of two players each.
There are two classes Of players. the
Savers" and the "drOwners." Five
droWpers go out from shore GER
tain distance and pretend they are
drowning. Five savers swim out TO
bring them in.
II Is unfair for a drowner to as
sist himself in any way once a saver
gets hold on him. Any hold is per-
Missile, but care must be taken to
keep the drowner'S head above water.
The first saver who brings his bur
den safely across; the line is the win
ner. There should be starter, who
will also referee the game.
There are many possible variations
to add excitement and try skill, as for
instance requiring the savers to skin
OF their clothes (or some Of them)
after the starting signal is given.

GOOD TURNS BY SCOUTS.

Ali signs and advertisements were re-
moved from the telephone and electric
light poles throughout Mt. Clemens,
Mich, by scouts.
Secretary McAdoo Of the treasury
department awarded war service en-
blems to 80 scouts In FL Paso, Tex,
when he visited that city to speak in
the interests of the third Liberty loan.
Scouts at Sturgeon Bay, Wis, col
lected beds and bedding enough in a
day to quarter the new company of
National Guardsmen from there.
During the Inauguration of Governor
Edge at Trenton, n. j., scouts acted as
guides at the railroad stations and the
various points throughout the city, to
direct delegates to the capitol and in
assisting the traffic officers, also serv-
ing as guards at the reviewing stand.
The household goods of a resident
Of Lexington, KY, were saved by
scouts when his dwelling was burned
to the ground.
When the New Mexico State Educa-
ton association met at Santa Fe,
scouts served as guides to the visiting
teachers, assisting them with their lug
gage.

SCOUTING KEEPS BOY BUSY.

Conservation Of our natural re-
sources is universally approved, but
of what value would material re-
sources be unless we conserve the
moral, intellectual and physical future
Of the coming generation?
Prevention is recognized as better
and less expensive than cure. The
boy scout movement takes the boy at
that time OF life when he Is beset with
the new and bewilderlng experiences
of adolescence and dlverts his thoughts
therefrom to wholesome and worth
while activities. In this manner this
character-buildlng movement has done
much In numerous cities to diminish
the problem Of juvenile delinquency.
We are at war. War brings Ne
taxation of moral fiber, which Is dis
astrous to our youth unless Offset by
powerful positive influences. Scout
Ing is just such powerful, positive
counteractlng influence. Its program
offers the essential antidote for these
poisons Of war.
