WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN

the experience OF an American inter

prisoner in Germany. just before he

told to American officers, follows:
"a short time before | left IIamcln,
Hanover, was able to have n few
minutes interview with an American
soldier who was taken prisoner sew
eral months ago OH the French front
Being unwounded. he was assigned di-
rectly TO prison camp. Weakened by
excessive work he was forced to 20 i'm
tho salt mines. and being unable to
stay longer. he was sent to Hamcln.
Il do not remember the name OF thu,
man or the number of his regiment
but he had been among the first Amcri-
cans In the trenches and his home was
III New York. He told me that durine
tho three months he was in the uarz
mines he had lost thirty three pounds.
He was man who was solidly built
and 1t could be easily seen that hc had
been vigorous and healthy, but when I
saw him he was incredibly thin and SO
weak that he could hardly cross q room
without stopping repeatedly. leaning
on pieces OF furniture or supporting
himself on boxes piled there
t'nSlishmen also arc being badly
treated In tho mines. / found out that
three Of seven who were sent back
to liameln died. Package service docs
not exist In the mines. and the prs.
oncrs receive practically nothing.
Their only nouri3hment is from thin
soup made OF barley or cabbage, some
times saltcd Goldfish eggs and those of
other fish which it Is impossible to
ta;. There are few potatoes and very
little bread. 1t is impossible for a man
10 work without becoming sick or
weakened to the ponit of falling down.
THE men are struck with rife butts
placed in dark cells on bread and wa
ter. These cells are known to the mine
prisoners as hot chambers as they
are heated By steam to a high temper
ature. After the men arc held in these
cells they are turned out in the snow
where they are required to stand at
attention for certain length OF time.
Needless TO say. deaths are frequent.

wooden ships are called fer. and they
will be built AS fast as they can be
launched and tho ways cleared for new

for 200 additional wooden ships-bg
and substantial ships of large tonnage

DUTCH EMISSARY FAILS

LONDON. May CT say it is all j
mares nest
Foreign Minister Balfour himself
thus laid to rest-temporarily at least
all the rumors and reports and
backstairs gossip about peace. when he
replied in the House of Commons to-
day TO persistent heck!ing from Philip
Snowden. the pacifst leader.
AIR. Balfour fatty stated that no
peace offers had been recently made.
and no neutral representative was
here who had made either tentative or
formal suggestions for peace ncgotia-
tions.
MIR. Balfours denial does not, how
ever, preclude the possibility of an un-
official neutral cmissary bearing Ger
man peace feelers. The specific qucs-
ton TO which MIR. Balfour's statement
WAS the answer was verbatim:
Whether there is in this country a
representative OF neutral country
who has submitted informal proposals"
There were two developments during
the day, however. which gave the
rumors more substantial form.
though both came before the Foreign
Minister denied that any advances
whatsoever had been made TO Down
ing Street.
First. the identity was disclosed OF
the neutral who is asserted TO DC the
intermediary chosen by Berlin to
yroach tho German proposal.
Second. the details OF the proposal
were made known.
The following outline OF Germany :
new peace terms was given:
|. Germany TO renouncc all claims in
the west.
.. Restoration Of Belgium
s. Alsacc- Lorraine TO be autonomous
within the German federation.
I. The status IN the east to remain
as at present.
.. Austria TO mako certain conccs-
sions to Italy in the Trcntino.
6. Balkan questions to be solved by
an International conference.
I. All colonial questions affecting
Africa and Asia Minor 10 be settled
