RUSS USED LIKE DOGS
Despite Agreement Germany Makes
Most of Them Work.
BY JOSEPH SHAPLEN

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Oct 24.-Despite the
agreement between Germany and the
bolsheviki for an exchange Of war
prisoners. Germany is OBTAINING nest
of the Russian captives for work in
! Germany, at the western front and in
the Baltic provinces.
! Russians who managed to make
their way from the latter region to
Russian soldiers have been sent to
the Baltic provinces to work on the
estates of the prO-German Baltic
barons. They work under guard of
armed German soldiers and under a
discipline as rigid as that of the pris-
on camp. The Germans do not hesi-
tate to use clubs and the butts of
their guns on the Russians.
The horses are better taken care of
than the Russians AS a result, many
of the Russians are suffering with
tuberculosis and other diseases and
are dying by hundreds. Natives of
central and Siberian Russia are those
chosen for work in the Baltic prov
inces. The Russians captured by the
Germans in EsthOnia and Livonia
have been sent into the interior of
Russia-the soldiers for field work
and the red guardsmen for digging
trenches.
No sooner did the Germans begin to
feel themselves masters of the situa- j
ton than they levied severe taxes .
upon the Russian population and the /
prOletarian population in general A !
separate passport tax>also was levied. |
If civilian Russian desires to leave
for Russia he must pay as high as
$50 roubles for a passport Taxes
have been levied on windows, window
curtains, beds and pillows
The population of the regiCn is liv-
ing in a state of terror. Instead of
the promised autonomy 1t has been
given the most outrageous form of
despotism. petty and large. As a re-
suit, thousands sought to fee. espe-
cially from Livonia.
The big centerS are depopulated. In |
Riga, for example there are no more
than 100000 of its population of SOO,-
BOO left.

THE EVENING MISSOURIAN
WHO'LL PAY FOR THIS WAR!

As soon as we of the United State
decided officially that the cause of tn
Allies was our cause. we began t
lend money to our new Allies.
The money didn't go overseas, but i
paid American manufacturers fol
war supplies that did go-supplies
vitality necessary to the Allies. Fol
the first year of our participation in
the war. these supplies formed prac-
tically the only part of our aid to our
Allies that made itself an important
factor in the front line trenches.
Naturally. we would have preferred
to do more if We could have When
we shipped France a cannon. for in
stance. we would have sent the gun
ners to man it if We had had enough
of them trained.
AS it was. we furnished the cannon,
and France furnished the men to work
it. Every shell that was fired car
ried a message from both nations to
Germany
Now the question arises, should
France pay US for the cannon. any
more than We should pay her for fur
nishing the men?
That's something of what it means
when the suggestion is made that at
the end of the war the United States
ought to cancel all debts due it from
its Allies. The most conspicuous pro-
pOnent of the idea is George W. Wick
ersham. former United States Attor- |
ney General. and now a corporation /
lawyer. No one could accuse him of /
rashness. He made the proposal seri-
ously in a recent speech.
For two years and half before this
nation entered the war, money flowed
to us from Europe because of the ne
cessities of the Allies. During that
period every she'll fired into the Ger
mans lines lightened the cost in mon
ey and men to the United States when
we finally entered the conflict.
While America was growing rich
er, the Allies were making tremen-
dOus sacrifices of money, men and ma
terials. It would jar some American
nerves if after the war our Allies
were required to pay not only the in
terest and principal of the money they
had borrowed from their own DeODIe.
but also the interest and principal of
the money the United States has bor- ,
rOwed from its people. :
The sum involved is tremendous
like seven and a half bill |
lion dollars already. But there is no !
possibility of hasty or ill-considered
action, for Congress must give its :
Congress doesn't move
hastily even after a matter has been ,.
brought before it. L

When they rousted US on deck again
the st. Theodore was still In sight, but
she had the YarrOwdale for company.
Both were trailing behind us and keep,
ing pretty close on. While we were
on deck we saw the German sailors az
work on the main deck making about
ten rafts and when they began to place
tins Of hardtack on the RATS, tin to
each, we imagined they were going to
heave US over the side and let as go
on the RATS. But instead they began
telling US we would land In che States
and then they rousted US between
decks again.
We had only been there a short time
when some Of the German officers came
down and asked If any of the men
would volunteer to go firing on the
Yarrowdale and we almost mobbed
them to take us. They began putting
down the names or the men who were
to go and I talked them into putting
mine down too. Then / felt about
five hundred pounds lighter.
Five O'Clock came and by that time
l had forgotten to do any worrying.
We received our usual rations and
most Of US who had volunteered fig
ured that we would receive clothes
and shoes. In the morning an officer
came down below and read out the
names Of those who were to 20 and
felt even lighter when he called mine.
We were each given a life belt and
mustered on deck.
The seq was pretty nasty and some
Of the men had narrow escapes from
falling between the Moewe and the
llfeboats when the swells rocked us.
One man fell from the ladder and
broke his neck on the gunwale Of the
llfeboat. They took over boat after
boat to the Yarrowdale until finally
we were all there. Then they mus
tered US on deck and warned us not to
start anything, because they had a
time bomb In the engine room and two
on the bridge. Meantime they had
brought over several bOatloads Of hard
tack and we threw 1t into No. 8 hold.
This was to be our food for some time.

CHAPTER XVII.


| SNuOgU ~ &GVtWAuYs
They had a co0lle crew on the Yar-
rowdale and when they routed them
on deck the coolies began to pray, and
though 1t is nothing to laugh at could
not help but chuckle at the way some
of them went about talking to thelF
various gods. They were beginning to
smell danger and were pretty nervous.
Every one Of the coolies had q cane
and pair Of Palm Beach trousers.
The Huns were loading them in the
lifebo0ts to be taken back to the
Moewe with their sea bags and one Of
them got too nervous and was slow
about getting into the llfeboat, SO the
Germans shot him without saying q
word.
Then the Germans called out the
names Of those who had volunteered to
go stoking and this included me. We
were drilled down the fddley into the
fire room. The flddley is a shaft that
runs from the main deck Of q ship to
the engine room. l looked around a
bit and saw a German standing not
very far from the flddey, so asked
him If we would be given shoes. He
said no. Then I asked him II we had
to fire in our fare feet and he said
yes-that we did not need shoes. Then
he went into the engine room.
/ looked at the narrow passage he
went through and at the narrow pas
sage of the fiddley to the main deck
and talked to my feet like used to
at Dixmude. said: "Feet, do your
duty" They did 1t and l flew up the
fiddley. / never wanted to see that
stoke hole again.
/ sneaked up to where the rest of
the fellows were and the guards
drilled us into No. hold. There was
nothing but ammunition in it. They
battened the matches down on US,
which made the hold waterproof. And
as that made It practically alright the
only air the $50 of US got was through
the ventilators. That hold was GER
tainly foul.
They next day some of the men had
got cigarettes somewhere. In a few
minutes they as well as the rest had
lit up and were putting away in great
style. divided q cigarette with ON
other fellow. Remember we were sit
ting and standing on ammunition oil
this time. It shows how much we
cared whether school kept or not.
The Germans saw the smoke COM
ing out Of the ventilators and they
were crazy with fright. A gang Of
them laid below and rousted US out
with whips.
They lined us up on deck and read
us the riot act.
They drilled US down into the coal
bunkers. II was simply terrible there.

One fellow let go his hold on the lad
der and went down and he never came
up. The Germans were making for the
MOewe in the llfeboat and we reached
1t just before they did. Up the ladder
we went and over the side and the
first thing we caught sight Of was the
German revolvers in our faces drilling
us all into line.
The llfeboat brought back the ships
papers from the GeOrglc and we had
roll call. They kept US up on deck in
our wet underwear and It was very
cold indeed. Then the first mate and
the old man and one Of the German
officers called of the names and we
found we had fifty missing.
The Boche commander had gall
enough to say that he was not there
to kill men but to sink all ships that
were supplying the alllesl He said
England was trying to starve Germany,
but that they would never succeed and
that Germany would starve the allies
very soon.
After roll call some Of US asked the
Germans for clothes, or at least a
place to dry ourselves in. but Fritz
could not see Us for the dust on the
ocean and we just had to stand there
and shiver till we shook the deck, al
most. Then / went and sat down on
the pipes that feed the deck winches.
They had quite a head Of steam in
them and l was beginning to feel more
comfortable when l got q good clout
alongside Of the head for sitting there
