Incentive Toward Diplomacy
Social work among Russian prisoners
Of war, accomplished only by strategy
and sheer sense Of diplomacy. gave
Miss GlowaCki her first incentive TO
study for diplomacy The prisoners when
marched in to the little Russian city in
which the Americans were, presented a
terrible picture. They were half starved
and infested with vermin. Their bones
protruded and their eyes we're sunken.
Citizens who threw bread TO them as
they were marched along were threat
encd with death. The prisoners. how
ever seeing pile of garbage along the
street broke ranks and devourcd every
bit of it, SO hungry were they.
Major FlaskamD was the German in
charge with him the young American
student pleaded her cause. She sue
ceeded after many grueling interviews
in convincing him that it was better for
his own guards If the prisoners were fed
and made orderly by right treatment.
American Women Blessed
The request granted. Miss GlowaCN
and her mother organized the village in
the work Provisions were Cheerfully
given, also clothes and medicines. The
prisoners were cleaned. fed and clothed
The American women became powerful
influence in the village, and the story of
their deeds spread into the surrounding
country. The Germans saw this, and
fearing a disastrous result of the power
they had commanded. began to make
trouble, and il was with difficulty that
matters were righted to their satisfa"-
tion.
The last part of the journey across
Europe was finally begun. Only with
the personal permission of Won Hnden-
burg were the GlowaCkis permitted TO
pass through Germany and reach Rer-
lin. AT Berlin they were held for two
weeks this being shortly after the l.usi-
tania sinking Before being permitted to
leave for Copenhagen to take ship TO
America they were given most
thorough examination.

mitories, said Yesterday: Il am glad to
have had this experience. although it
wrecked my health. II has given me
an ambition which | mean to fulfill"
