In August, 1916, new governmental
body, the Council of National Defense,
was created by Act of Congress, to aid
the government in the internal prob
lens Of the country, resulting from
the effect of war on certain phases of
transportation, finance, labor. the pro-
duction, distribution and conservation
of food.
The Council Of National Defense.
consisting of six cabinet officers, was
empowered and directed to appoint an
advisory committee from men Of ma
tional reputation in their different
lines. In practically all problems to
be met. it was recognized that the aid
and cooperation of women was es-
sential to success SO, as part OF the
Advisory Committee, the Woman s
Committee was created. The Woman's
Committee therefore, is part of a
governmental body carrying out gov
eminent plans.
Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, president OF
the Woman's Committee, says: I'm our

man, rich or poor, member of club
or non-member, employer or employe,
in town or in country, from whom

, Lately conditions have become still
worse, I am told. The women are
forced to do all sorts of burdensome
things. For instance, they are put at

the only purpose of the taskmasters

Every Sunday, wierd walk is under
taken, to wood about six kilometers
away, from which they bring back
wood on their backs. Hundreds of
men and women are put at this work
every Sunday, although it could cas-
lily be done by wagon and two hors-
es. In fact, the biggest part of the
labor demanded of the prisoners is
almost wholly unproductive, and
serves no purpose save to torture If
any of them dare to complain, they
are subjected to certain peculiar pun
ishments. of which the most fire.
quent is confinement in an extraor-
binary cell called the bug room

DESERTER DESCRIBES
GERMAN PRISON CAMP

The following story of life in Ger
man prison camp was furnished the
committee on public information at
Washington. D. c., by the Copenhagen
correspondent of the Jewish Daily
Warheit. The author is Jewish Rus
sian student. who lived through the
conditions which he describes. He is
at present in Denmark

nate enough to escape. Although I
am Russian, the peace of Brest-Lit-
ovsk did not give me my freedom.
Like the enemy subjects who were in
the same camp, l 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 l believe
that have had experiences which are
to certain extent. unique and worth
relating. The camp in which l was
confined is Camp Helzminden, on the
Weser. At this place a great number
CT civilians who have in no way par.
ticipated in the war are held captive
1t is not camp for military prisoners
it is a camp for enemy civilians.
The regime at Holzminden was fair.
! ly mild until the beginning Of 1917.
But when General Haehnich. a bar
barous old despot, was named general
of the 10th Army Corps. to which dis
/ trict Holzminden belongs. the camp
conditions were utterly changed at
once. In the place of the former
commanding officer, General Pflugradt
who had treated the prisoners with
decency and certain amount of con.
sideration. Colonel Gallus was appoint
ed, half crazy individual with years
OF experience as a prison director
With the help of group of his under
.:nss, more ruthless than himself, the
Colonel very soon succeeded in estab-
fishing a German prison regime at
Holzminden.
Heaviest Work Required
This regime involved forcing the
prisoners to do the heaviest sort Of
labor. Every day they were required
10 break up and haul stone, build
roads and work in the fields The road
building was at a distance of from
Ave to six kilometers from the camp.
Work in the factories of Holzminden
was also looked upon as camp duty.
Because of tie fact that the prisoners
were for the most part students, en-.
ginee.s, merchants, and so on, who
were unused to physical labor of this
sort. the tasks were particularly oner-
Gus. Furthermore the guards were
instructed to keep nagging at the pris-
oners constantly. to make them work
faster
The manner of these guards is quite
Undesirable. They deceived from
the Colonel himself orders of the most
outrageous sort. To speed the work
OF the prisoners, they were told to
strike them with their fists and with
clubs. At the most trivial offense
they were instructed to shoot. If
guard was so rash as to be friendly
verely punished. To make the guards
more Jealous in their work, Colonel
Gallus informed them that all of the

were pirates and criminals. deserving
of the most violent treatment. The
result is inevitable. There were al
most daily cases of physical mistreat-
ment while was at Holzminden.
Some of the poor fellows were so bad
ly handled that they had to be taken
to the hospital.
A Dreary Day
The days program was a dreary
one. At 4:30 we were awakened; that
is at 80 by German summer time,
which is in reality at $3.50. Ats We
went to work Often we could not
return to barracks at noon because
we were working in a place several
kilometers from the camp. and We
were obliged to remain out-of-doors
in the wet and the rain until 1880 in
the evening. At 9 P. NJ, when it was
still light. were locked up in the
barracks. We had not sufficient time
for sleep, rest, or even for meals.
In spite of the constant activity de-
manded of the prisoners. the food
was poor and contained little nourish-
ment. We did have sort of commits
sary committee, composed of three
prisoners. But if it for single time
ventured to complain of the soup as
unsatisfactory" the most disagree
able things always happened. Mail
was frequently held up. by way of re-
taliation for alleged misdeeds. Mail
was not allowed to be kept beyond
eight days and if postcard older
than that was found upon the person
of prisoner he was always rigorous
ly punished. There was not enough
clothing to make one comfortable. AS
we had to work out of doors regard
less of weather or season, our cloth
ing was often wet through, and the
next morning we had to put it on while
it was still damp. Colds were natur-
ally unavoidable The medical atten-
tion given us was absurd. The crazy
Colonel himself made point of be-
ing present at almost all medical ex-
aminations, and completely domina,-
ed the physicians, who cringed be-
fore him. He was fond of saying that
the lazy ones pretended to~be ill, that
the camp itself was the best sanitor-
ium, and hard work the best cure-alI
The Colonel was Sentimental.
In spite Of his brutality, the Colonel
had his sentimental streaks. The
following anecdote is illustrative A
Frenchman, 10 years of age. was &C.
cupied in paving the street of the
camp. The Colonel passed by, and,
as the old fellow did not seem to him
to be working diligently enough, he
stepped up and gave him a tremen-
deus box on the ear. The poor old
man said nothing. but took out of his
pocket a little certificate. from which
it appeared that he was i'll and only
capable of a small amount of work.
The Colonel was much moved, almost
to the point of ears. He gave the old
man eight days of exemption from all
labor. But that was rather cold COM
fort
Camp Holzminden was frequently
visited by General Haehnich and 9TH
err officials. However, they never look
ed at the prisoners quarters, except
in the most perfunctory way. They
merely strutted through the barracks
watched the laborers at work and
then directed all their attention to the
camp pigs. These pigs, the especial
interest of Colonel Gallus, were roy
ally treated in their pens. and GER
tainly led much happier life than

HOW THEI. w. w. CAME

Theexecutive committee of the
State Council of Defense has
made definite disposition of the
rather indefinite charge that the
larger mining companies of the
State have been importing men,
bers of the l. w. W., particularly
with a view to discredit the oper-
ations of the regular miners
unions.
At a conference held in the
Office of the Governor, the COM
mittee heard all evidence SUBJ
mitted. This indicated that
members of the l. W. w. had
been recruited at different points
outside the State and had been
sent to Arizona, with their fares
paid by the mining corporations.
The mine managers present at
the conference admitted that this
might have been very possible,
but stated that they had sought
to secure only patriotic Ameri-
cans. They asserted that when
ever they detected an l. W. w.
on their payrolls, he was dismiss
ed forthwith. They declared also
that in letter and spirit they were
following out the instructions

These are twin evils. Persons suffer-

Food distressed her and there was a
feeling like heavy weight pressing on
her stomach and chest. She did not
rest well at night, and felt worn out a

trouble so that she has since felt like a
