and with great irregularity, together
with or without a couple Of ounces OF
nasty black bread for each prisoner.
"On some days neither soup nor

Worse In Other Cells.
! Lieut.. Bucknell was one day
placed on duty for this work and had
to take bowl OF soup into cell 4s. the
peephole of which was closed. When
the turnkey unlocked the door the in
mates were quite obscured by a
thick vapor combined probably with
tobacco smoke. Presently several hu-
man figures crawled out of this mist
toward Bucknell and begged and
prayed to him to have the door left
open for while as they were nearly
sufocated
Not only was the aperture In the
door closed, but the ventilating panes
In the window were also shut and
scaled up and the walls were steam
ing with moisture. Bucknell tried in
vain to induce the sentry to allow
these unfortunate men to get a little
air through the open door. but he
refused and they were quickly locked
in again.
There were twelve men In that
cell One of them was a general and
an ex-commander Of an army corps.
and another a school director. They
were unaware OF any special reason
for this extra punishment Of being
sealed up in their cell.

NAVY BOUGHT BONDS
UP TO $45, 900, 1000
More Than Double Quota of Fourth
Liberty Loan.

Fight or buy bonds-the navy does
BOTH" is the slogan which has al
most doubled the navy quota to the
Fourth Liberty Loan. according to a
statement yesterday by Rear Admiral
T. J. Cowie. Of the pay corps. Sub
scriptions reached s45.000,00o, although
the quota was but 10000. coo.
This subscription Of the Navy De-
partment personnel was greater than
the subscriptions of the entire navy
to the first loan. according to Rear
Admiral Cowie. The subscription OF
the Navy Department was typical of
the response of the entire service to
the last loan.
Although the great subscription
represents real sacrifice by the men
in the service, I know the phenomenal
total could not have been reached
were II not for the aid we received
from so many people and organiza-
tions." said Mr. Cowie

TWENTY ENDURE HORRORS OF
ONE BOL LS1EVIK PRISON CELL
British Journalist Tells Experiences of Starva-
ton and Vile Discomforts in Close Room
Packed with Captives.

London. via British wireless, Oct.
31.-The Petrograd correspondent
OF the Times has reached England
after terrible experiences at the
hands OF the Bolsheviks as a pris-
oner In the fortress of Saint Peter
and Saint Paul. He says:
Il and half a dozen other British
subjects found ourselves herded
together with a number of Russians
and tn Bolshevist officers received
US with shout OF delight when
they discovered that we were Eng
lish. They were still more
pleased when we disclosed the rem
nant of the food received from our
friends and the Dutch legation, for
no victuals of any kind had been
given them for three days. Need
less to say they were only too glad
to share our scanty meal.
We were altogether twenty men
in a vaulted lime cell about 20 feet
long by IL feet broad and IL feet
In height with a hard cemented
flooring. In one corner near the
door was a modern latrine, a tap
of running water. one bare iron
bedstead fixed to the floor. and u
small shelf fastened to the wall,
close to the bedstead, and servinl;
as a table. At one end OF the cell
was a door with a small square
peep hole. which was sometimes
shut up, and at the opposite end,
very high UP, there was an iron
barred double window looking out
against the high wall of one of the
fortress ramparts.
Scarcely standing Room.
Two panes of this window were left
open for ventilation and the space be-
tween was used as a larder for keep
ing our food as fresh as was possible.
With so many human beings huddled
together in a space intended only for
one the atmosphere was awful. There
was only about a foot OF standing
room for each of US and 1t was diff
fcult for us to move our arms or legs
when we lay packed together on the
bare cold floor.

BOOTLEGGERS' GAINS
RUN UP TO $50 DAILY

Despite the enormous risks run by
bootleggers. the business of selling
liquor illegally is still profitable

of them who are said to be doing

An interview" with a person who
is supposed to be familiar with the
illegitimate liquor trade in Washing

profit OF from s25 to $50 is nothing
unusual for bootlegger to make.

Pershing Has $4,000 Cars,
1000 Locomotives to

On the day that Austria accepts

officers TO prove their contention that
the collapse of Austria automatically

Of the intricate and complex series
of fortresses constructed by the Ger
man states on the Western and East
ern fronts in the past forty years.
Difficulties Arise.
Although America stands ready
to send a mighty army into Austria
the maneuver could not be accom-
plished quickly owing to the re-
stricted transportation facilities be-
tween France and Italy. But it is
pointed out that American equip
ment capable Of use on the Austrian
railroads could be rapidly trans
ferred from French to Austrian soil
and could then be placed at the dis
posal of the inter-allied forces
which would be ready to move from
Italy and the Balkans to drive
across the borders of Bavaria and
Saxony on their way to Berlin.
Up to date American car shops
have received government orders for
the construction of 10000 freight
cars for abroad. Up to the first of

totaling 500 locomotives have been
awarded.

TWO YEARS TO
DEMOBILIZE
Military Authorities Tell
Gen. Dupont Of Immense
Task Ahead.

New York, Nov. L-Demobilixatio
Of the American forces In France
after the war will require at least
two years. according TO a statement
issued yesterday by Gen. T. Coleman
DUPONT, who has Just returned from
two months visit to the Western
front He conferred there with high
officials of each OF the allied govern
ments and brought this estimate as
the minimum expectation of the army
officers. Gen. Dupont said, in part:
The military officials have been
urging US to think in terms of a long
war. and now they are equally in
sistent that we begin to accustom our
selves to the thought of a long de-
mobilization. There Is an immense
task ahead of our forces when peace
is declared. One of our generals said
to me:
Tell the people back home that il
will be two years at least before they
see US all. We have a years work
just TO untangie the barbed wire
strung back and forth across France
Tt must never be said of America
that she left her task half done.
We owe everything to France. Our
men will have to stand by to set
her on the road to restoration. Ana
while they stand by over there. 1t
is going to be tremendously impoT-
tant that we stand by them over
here"
Appeals for War Work Fuad.
Appealing for support of the
United War Work Campaign, Gen.
DUPONT said:
The civil war destroyed the ca
reers of hundreds of promising
young men; it turned them back
into civil life weakened and pur-
poseless. This war must not do
that The boys who have sacrificed
so much to win it must come back
stronger and better men than when
they left.
II found the war work agencies
in France laying statesma Mike
plans for this trying period. Every
hut in France is to become a uni
versity class room the day peace is
signed. Under direction of leading
educators and business men OF this

to preserve our national life and the
civilization OF the world, What we
have done so fsr points TO what Is
