AS matter of fact. it is really remark
able how little feeling seems to exist
among the officers and guards against the
prisoners. | have never experienced any
such indignities as have been reported by
British and French prisoners who es-
capped from German prison camps. !
have never heard of an American officer
splitting into Germans face, nor OF
soldier hitting prisoner with the butt
Of rifle.
And when an American soldier wants
to treat a prisoner decently he does not
have to take him behind the barracks or
sneak about it. Treatment in camp de-
ponds entirely on the mans own be-
havior.
Treated With kindness and Respect.
If prisoner observes the rules he Is
treated with kindness and respect. II
be Is unruly and suffers from the halluci-
nation that the Kaiser will personally
aveDge every wrong, imaginary or other
wise, that is done to his dear overseas
subject he is quickly given the opportu-
nifty to see the error Of his ways. Some
times that is done by disciplinary meas
ures, but often the executive officer takes
the trouble of talking to the man and try
ing to change his ideas.
More than once the officers and SOL
diers have gone out of their way to do
fayors for me and other prisoners. More
than once fellow prisoners of mine have
gone out of their way to make life harder
and more miserable for me.
say this with no intention of flatter-
ing any one or Of criticising any one else.
I say it in fairness to those who are sup
posed to be our enemies and whose de-
cency and sense of justice, to my mind,
are characteristic of the whole American
nation.
A few evenings ago I was standing
outside of my barrack. One Of the SER
geants WAS eating nice, ripe, fresh cher
ries out of bag. do not know what ex-
preston was ON my face, but the SER
geant said:
"Long time since you've had Cherries
eh7"
Il should say so,' was my answer. And
the soldier insisted that I take half Of his
fruit. The men in the same Office have
repeatedly given us fruit, cigarettes,
matches and many other little things for
which they had paid out of their own not
too ample wages.
OF course, they are not all ike that.
There are "grouehes' everywhere. there
are always bad exceptions 10 good rule.
Undoubtedly some Of the little men could
be more polite; but soldering Is not q
parior game, and ten to twenty years in
the service are bound TO spoil mans
company manners somewhat.

iNTeRNMENT CAMP in UTAH

life is" nc shouted, his little chest swell
ing out like that of pUuter pigeon. at
is in Germany, the land Of the brave and
the free. tho land of my fathers and fore
fathers And among the cheers Of his
fellow prisoners he strutted off into the
mess hail.
After dinner | asked him whether he
really intended TO go back to Germany
after the war.
"Of course" he said.
ibid you serve in the German armyf'
"Yes.'
"Did You report for service when the
war broke outr'
"No.r
"Then do you realize that twenty
hours after you land in the country Of
your fathers and forefathers you will be
arrested as deserter and put In prisonf"
Now that fellow had absolutely no in
tcntion to go back after the war. But
when | am around he does not shout so
much any more. However, whenever my
back is turned know that he speaks about
Inc as the "Ameriean."
Another significant incident happened
week OF so ago.
a prisoner had died in the camp hos
pital. The next morning fine oak coffin
was sent down from the quartermaster's
stores, and in the afternoon quartermas-
ter's wagon carried the corpse to the fort
cemetery, where the German was buried
side by side with the American soldier
dead. A United States Captain went along
to the grave, a gusrd of soldiers and
twelve of the informed men as pallbearers.
As soon as the eortege had left the camp
an angry protest went the rounds.
why did they not send hearseT was
the question. And the authorities were
accused of having sent dirt wagon TO
carry away their eemrade-a deliberate
insult TO tho prisoners and to Germany!
One of Ghe twelve palibearers even stepped
out of the ranks and berated the Captain
before his own soldiers, q serious breach
of al discipline, etiquette and politeness.
Viruient Letter Written to Swiss.
1t was explained by the officers that
the burial was done exactly as in the
case Of a dead American soldier who had
no funds to pay for more elaborate
funeral. The explanation was not ae-
copied. A virulent letter (signed at the
head by the son of COUNTY was written
to the Swiss Legation and an apology was
demanded.
And YET the very day Of the funeral
the prisoners held "turnfest" (ath-
letic festivalD not more than hundred
feet from the chapel where their dead CON-
rade lay. There were shouting and sing
ing, baseball and vsulting, running and
setting up exercises.
An amusing bit of psychology is the
assumption of petty authority on the
part of the prisoners who have been
placed in charge of the various barracks
and who have been given other camp jobs.
You should see these men, with all the
elan of German "unter offizicr." They
issue ediets and orders Of all sorts. And
it is never please, or "if you WILL" 1t
is always "you must" "you are ordered"
And the word "verboten," so dear to the
German heart, is in constant use. They
summon their men with police whistles,
they strut with the swagger step Of
German corporal and act with all the II
diculous yerve of Prussian superior.
What contrast to the military but
courteous mode Of intercourse between
the American officers and the interus

July Broke All Former
Monthly Records For
Sale Of War Savings
Stamps
Bureau of Printing Stops Max
ing Postage Stamps To Sup
ply War Savings Stamp
Demands

July has broken previous monthly
sales of War Savings Stamps. The
| cash receipts in the Treasury Depart
ment from the sale of Thrift and
War Savings Stamps for the month
of July totals S211,417,942.61. This
represents an investment and loan
to the government at the average
rate of 81 for every man, woman
and child in America.
So great has been the sales of
War Savings Stamps since July 1,
that the Bureau of Printing and En-
craving at Washington has had to
stop making postage stamps all to-
gether and direct its efforts to the
making of Thrift and War Savings
Stamps.
Another evidence that War Saw
ings Stamps have become popular is
the report made by National Head
quarters of the Boy Scouts of Ameri-
ca to the effect that from July l to
10Th 193,850 Red Postcards were re-
ceived, showing a daily average sale
of $4,000 by the Scouts. While a
large number of the cards represent
sales for 800 or more. the average
was $40 or over a card.
From the beginning of the War
Savings Campaign and up to and
including July 81 the total receipts
from the sale of War Savings Securi-
ties are $518,51O,334.O3, this repre-
senting the purchase of War Savings
Stamps and the total maturity value
Of $624,711,245.

the public for the entertainment on
Thursday evening we wish to offer
the following information.

tons. She is an accredited artist of
rare ability and has made q number
Of records for the Victor Company

continuously at work in an effort to
assist those who may need their as
sistance, not only in providing for
the necessities Of life, but also in
taking care of the children who may

ton has received quite an income
from an annual rummage sale, but
this year the clothes collected were
sent to Belgian refugee children in
France.
We ask that you support us on
this occasion as in the past.

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy

There is nothing so destructive to
the hair as dandruff. It robs the
hair of its lustre, its strength and it's
very life; evidently producing a few
