Three and a Half Years. Experience
of Russian in a German Prison
Camp.

COMMITTEE on Public Information)
For three and one-half years
was a prisoner in a German prison
camp. At the end of that time / was
fortunate enough to escape. Although
am a Russian, the peace of Brest-
Litovsk did not give me my freedom.
Like the enemy subjects who were in
the same camp, / had to wait my
chance to make a perilous dash for
liberty.
Although much has already been
written in the press of all countries
about the treatment of war prisoners
in Germany. nevertheless | believe
that | have had experiences which
are, to a certain extent, unique and
worth relating. The camp in which /
was confined is Camp Holzminden, on
the Weser. At this place great
number of civilians who have in no
way participated in the war are held
captive. 1t is not camp for mill
tary prisoners; it i a camp for ene~
my civilians.
The regime at Holzminden was
fairly mild until the beginning of
|1917. But when General Haehnisch,
barbarous old despot, was named
general of the Tenth Army Corps, to
which district Holzminden belongs,
the camp conditions were utterly
changed at once. In the place of the
former commanding officer, General
lPflugradt, who had treated the pris-
oners with decency and a certain
amount of consideration, Colonel
Gallus was appointed, half-crazy
individual, with years of experience
as a prison director. With the help
of a group of hts underlings, more
ruthless than himself, the colonel
very soon succeeded in establishing a
German prison regime at Holzmin>
den.
Heaviest Work Required.
! This regime involved forcing the
prisoners to do the heaviest sort OF
labor. Every day they were required
to break up and haul stone, build
roads, and work in the fields. The
