ITALIAN PRISONERS
BRUTALLY TREATED
Systematic Brutality Practiced BY

Systematic Brutality AA"o'l0e"
Germans.
London Dispatch.
Reuters limited has received copies
of carefully verified sworn statements
from British soldiers who have return
ed from German prison camps and
HOSPITALS regarding systematic bru-
tality practiced by the Germans upon
Italian prisoners These reports ema-
nate not from one particular center
only. but come from more than doz-
en- different parts of Germany. Ihey
have been confirmed by Independent
testimony. The reports all are Of re-
cent origin, as the soldiers who gave
the testimony left Germany only. re-
Gently, majority of them having been
released from prison camps about
month ago.
Regarding the camp at Langensalza,
Saxony, testimony has been received
from more than dozen Independent
sources. In November about 1000
Italian prisoners were brought in and
placed in a separate part OF the camp
behind barbed wire. According to the
reports they were unnecessarily
knocked about by underofficers and
guards who struck them with rifle
butts and scarbards
The Italians appeared famlshed
and used to rush for their soup. The
Germans, however, stabbed them with
swords and bayonets, killing or
wounding many of them. Seven or
eight Italians were dying from star
walton. :,
One Italian testified that he had
been Is days on the journey to the
camp and had had only three meals
during all that time.
There is a strong feeling among the
English prisoners that something
should be done for Italians, who are
diving at the rate Of six or seven a
day through starvation or dysentery.
From the Dulmen, Westphalia, camo
there are reports from many indie
pendent witnesses that the prisoners
! were marched all the way from Italy
with no other food than bread. They
also were knocked about and starved
and otherwise treated with ilhumani-
ty. English prisoners gave them their
German rations.
One witness said that three or four
weeks before he left Dulmen 200 or
300 Italian prisoners arrived there. All
Of them were virtually starved. 81

ais. At Mannheim the same brutal
ity is regularly practiced. One wit
ness said the Italians rushed mad1y
for the food and some of them were
bayonetted. The Germans, this re
port said, were giving them only hal

girls any, but it looks today as if it
would fair off for while and they all
seem to be getting their counting
smiles back on as they are pleased to
see the time come when they can get
to go to see their girls. Uncle Sans
boys all seem to be enjoying very good
health at present, but a majority Of
them have been in the hospital for
humps and measles, but there has
been very great improvement in the
last month as the doctors have al
most conquered the disease.
My experience with Uncle Sam has
been very successful so far. l have
been with him for three years, the
first of this coming April, and have
liked it fine. My first trip to camp
was in 1915, and was a very short
one. Camp Glen was the first camp
/ was ever at. We spent ten days
there, which we're enjoyed by all of
the boys that were members of the
company at that time. Camp Glen
is located at Morehead City, N. c.
That was the first and last encamp-
ment we had until Uncle Sam called
for all Of his boys at once-June 10TH
1916. We were then ordered to To-
cate at Camn Glenn. our old naak:1:ze
ton camp, for some instructions Of
patrol duty. We spent three month.
hard and successfully drilling there
We were then ordered to the Mexican
| border for patrol duty, which we say
| six long months of. We were located
there at Ell Paso, Texas, which is on
OF the prettiest cities in the Unite,
The Robesonian. [volume] (Lumberton, N.C.) 1870-current, 1918-02-14

States. Her population is 10000,
her elevation is 1000 feet above the
sea level. Ell Paso is located in a
very beautiful spot. The word pass
is where she got her name. She is
located in a pass. The pass is In a
branch of the Nevada and Cascade
mountains. We were stationed there
at the foot of Mt Franklin, which is
very pretty camp.
After snending six months there
we were then ordered back home to
the old North State, which each and
every one that was down there was
more than glad to hear it at that time,
but they all now seem to think that
thew had rather be down there than
here.
We left the Mexican border March
26, 1917. We were ordered to locate
at Goldsboro, N. c., after returning
from the border, being unfortunate
enough not to get mustered out OF the
Federal service, and have been serving
every since We spent about two
months at Goldsboro, then we were
ordered out again on the Winston
Salem Southbound railroad for bridge
patrol duty. We spent about two
months there, then we were ordered
back to Goldsboro for another mobil-
ization, which was on the 25th of
July, 1917. We spent another month
at Goldsboro We were then ordered
to Camp Greene, which is located at
Charlotte, N. c., for guard duty. We
we're located there for two months.
We were then ordered to Camp Sewer
where we are now stationed. We have
been here for five months, serving
Uncle Sam. We don't know where
our next move will be but sincerely
hope if we should have to cross the
big pond we can come back shouting
over the victory we have won.
So, boys let's do our best, for l
should say there is not a one of US
that wants Germany to whip, as we
want Uncle Sam to rule us forever.
So come on and let's do our best.
Don't be a coward, for if you do you
will see the day come when you will
be sorry you didn't do your bit; SO
let's try to do our best for France
as we owe the debt to her.

Camp Sewer, Greenville, S. c., Feb.
8.-Camp Sewer is located at Green
vile, S. c., just beyond the foot of the
Blue Ridge mountains. This canton
ment was located by some Of Uncle
Sans men. Their names are I'M

they know their business, as it is

of South Carolina The scenery would
be worth ones time just to make a
trip to Camp Sewer.
All of Uncle Sans boys that are
here seem to be delighted with the
location of Camp Sewer. The writer
likes it fine himself-he can get along

Lincoln and Everett at Gettys-

Abraham Lincoln and Edward Ev-
erett spoke at the dedication of the
national cemetery at Gettysburg, No
vember 10, 1868. The place, the oc-
casion, the audience, the associations
were in the highest degree inspiring.
Everett was an orator Of deserved re-
nown, with copious and glittering vo-
cabulary, graceful rhetoric, strong,
cultivated mind, elegant scholarship,
rich flexible voice, and noble pres
ence. His address occupied two hours
in delivery and was worthy Of the
speaker and his theme. At it's close
Lincoln rose slowly on the platform of
the pavilion. From an ancient case
he drew pair Of steel framed spec
tacles, with bows clasping upon the
temples in front of the ears, and ad-
justed them with deliberation. He
took from his breast pocket few
sheets of foolscap, which he unfolded
and held in both hands Esq this
manuscript, III low tones, WithouS
modulation or emphasis, he read 266
words and sat down before his sur
prised, perplexed, and disappointed
auditors we're aware that he had real
~ begun. It left no impression, so it
was said except mild CONSERVATION and
a mortified sense of failure. None
supposed that one of the great ora
tions of the world had been pronounc-
ed in the five minutes which Mr.. Lin
coin occupied in reading his remarks.
But the studied, elaborate and formal
speech of Everett has been forgotten,
while the few sonorous and solemn
sentences of Lincoln will remain SO
long as constitutional liberty abides
among men. Henceforth, whoever
recalls the battle of Gettysburg
|. will hear above the thunder
of the revererating guns, above the
exulting shouts of the victors and the
despairing shat government of the
people, by the people, and for the
people shall not perish from thu

Where the sharks and the sword

But the utter doom through the dark

surely end,
And the right be avenged on wrongI

AFTER OUR SOLDIERS NOW

By Bentztown Bard in Baltimore Sun.
Our women and children they first
sent down.
They are after our soldiers now,
They strike by the stern, they strike
by the ribs,
They strike by peak and bow.
In the halls of the night like a filthy
thing
They sneak meath the foam
and then,
A smash and a crash, and jolt and
And viper has fed on MEM
O, they sunk their fangs in the little
child,
And they fed on our women, too;
And they lurked in the dark when the
waves tossed wild
For the brave lads of the crew
And now they are after our boys that
bear
Their strength to the allied will
Like monster hid in Shiny lair.
AS he ticks his chops to kill
Well the ships go down, and the wo-
men go,
