The state rail board filed a complaint
last May, alleging that grain rates
from the Killdeer branch to Mime

all rates on the main line Of the North

shipments from Minneapolis, Duluth
and kindred points were too high. The
west bound rates in some instances are

The railway commission contends
that this is a discrimination against

ating under the seed and feed bonding
act, the east bound tariff applied to
these west bound shipments.

MANY DIE ON THE WAY

London, Nov. 23.-Critical conditions
among British prisoners of war who
have been liberated since the signing
Of the armistice are described by Reu-
tcr's correspondent. Thousands Of
these men are entering France daily.
Reuters correspondent writes: II
have never seen human beings in such
state Of raggedness, hunger and mis-
cry" '-
The prisoners were told to clear out
and seek help from their allies. They
started to walk the so or 60 miles to
the allied line, but were given no food
and they had no money. They were
in shameful rags. They left the prison
camps in droves Of hundreds in charge
Of German officers and soldiers who
had deserted. The weather was cold
and many died by the roadside.
When the survivors entered the al
lied lines, French soldiers who attend
ed the war heroes were Mortified. It
is not doubted that this suffering was
Intentionally imposed on the British,
who were treated worse than. other
prisoners in the German camps. A
further report Of General Youngcr's
command giving details Of treatment
Of British prisoners in German salt
and coal mines gives narrowing details.
"From testimony scarcely month
old, it is evident there is no sign Of
ment Of prisoners in Germany. This
disgrace is open and fragrant. The only
possible conclusion is that Berlin de-
]iberately approves Of it. Here is ans
extract Of letter dated May 20 last
from British private:
Eve have had little to eat since we
left Hamels. Two Of our number have
gone to the hospital with broken arms,
and the remainder are suffering from
cuts on their heads and bruises as a
result of foggings. fell in faint
unable to work any longer last Satur-
day, and the manyin efargc,sa civilian
kicked me back, into my senses and
kept me down in the mine sixteen hours
after al the. rest Of my gang had gone
up" " n % -.4
The record of daily promiscous vio-
lations might be further illustrated.
To scores Of men who have given evil
dence con n1erning the mining camps
kicks, blows, and insults became a
part Of the normal routine. Here is
the example Of man who had been
at one Of the Hamlen salt mines:
"ln January, 1918. refused to COM
plete my task as it was a physical I'M
possibility. was taken out Of the
mine, dressed only in shirt and draw
jere-dt is too hot in the mines to
wear anything else-and put in hut
for the night which was not weather
proof. In the morning it was half
full Of snow. The next day I was
taken to the mine. and again beaten
until | had finished my task. I re-
ceived nothing to eat from the time
went down into the mine on the
first morning until o'clock in the
next afternoon"
1t Is impossible to say how many
prisoners lives were sacrificed, for
until more evidence is given by men
who have been set free the exact con-
ditions must remain in obscurity.

FEDERALR0AD
CHIEF PLEASED
WlTHHIGHWAYS
Believed North Dakota Board Is
Making Excellent PROGRESS
in Construction
DIRT ROADS ONLY A START
Become Foundation Later for
Permanent, Surfaced System
of Thoroughfares
Dirt ROADS ONLY A START

North Dakotu's earth roads built
during the last summer under the d.
rection Of the state highway depart
ment and with federal supervision
stack up very we'll with anything to be
found in the same type Of construction
in South Dakota, Minnesota or WiscOn-
sin, the other three states included III
this federal highway district, says F.
ID. Hudgins, senior engineer of the Of
flee of public roads, with headquarters
at Minneapolis.
Engineer Hudgins, with Engineer w.
w. Meyer of the North Dakota high.
way department, returned yesterday
from an inspection Of highway lprOects
which are candidates for federal aid
in the eastern part Of the state. None
Of these projects was wholly completed,
because of labor and difficulty encoun-
tered in obtaining materials during the
working season. There is very little
to be finished, however, when work is
resumed next spring.
North Dakota" said Engineer Hud-
gins today, "has under way as many
projects as any other state in this dis
trict. OF course, there is a big differ
consin has some earth roads and that
is true Of Minnesota, but the bulk Of
this form Of highway building will be
found in the Dakotas. While we do
NOT regard earth roads as permanent
Improvement In themselves, we con-
slider them an integral part Of the fin
ished surfaced highway. In other
words, in building earth roads there is
no waste of time or labor or material,
for these roads become the foundation
later for permanent. surfaced high
ways.
Unfortunately, North Dakota Is
very poorly supplied with good surfac-
ing materials. This is difficulty
which we must face some time in the
future. For the present we must be
content with having made an excellent
beginning, providing the state with step
ping stones toward a permanent and
complete system Of highways"
Next week Engineers Hudgins and
Meyer will inspect federal aid projects
in Bowman and Stark counties.

 In When False Tongues Speak, Mr Harbaugh enacts his first biz part since becoming a director, the part of a drunken, unfaithful hus band. He wrote the script and knows just what the character demands. He took the part only after failing tc find another who could fill it's re quirements.
