Captured Soldier Tells
OF Terrible HardShipS

by Will Jones to his father,
Griffith Jones of Idaho Springs,
he tells the cruel side of the war,
of which we have not as yet heard
much. In letter previously
written in the German prison at
Gustrow, Jones could tell very
little of the awful treatment re-
ceived at the hands of his captors.
In the missive dated January
20, 1919. the young man gives a
sad picture of what some of our
young men were called upon to en-
dure He was in the hands of
the enemy two years and six
weeks. Extracts from his letter
follow:
Il am very sorry to tell you that
l had the worst treatment they
could give me. was captured at
the battle of Somme, about which
l suppose you have heard great
deal
THE first three days after l was
captured. l had nothing to eat or
drink From the trenches we
went to a church, where we stayed
for three days to have our wounds
dressed. Then we were sent in a
Red Cross train to Germany and
it took us four days to go.
when we landed in Hamburg
we were sent into a hospital for
treatment. There we lay for two
solid m nths with nobody to look
after us. They didn't even wash
us. let alone giving US treatment.
"W hen l got better. was sent
to the camp called Gustrow With
hardly any clothes on, and abso-
lutely starved. I was kept in
that place for three months on
potato peels and boiled cabbage
twice a day and for the rest one
slice of black bread. which was not
fit for pigs to eat.
From there l had to go to
work for them. They sent me to
a forest to cut down trees. But
that sort of work did not suit me
at all. I pretended to be sick and
l lay in bed for three weeks with
nothing at all the matter with me,
SO they sent me back to camp,
useless man. So l bluffed them
for once anyway.
well, they wouldn't let me
stop there doing nothing. and
packed me off TO a wood mill. l
wasn't there an hour before l had
the biggest hiding (beating) l
ever had in my life. I shall
never forget it as long as live.
To my surprise, l was again
discharged.
From there l went onto farm
to work with four horses. I would
be in the stables at half past three
to four every morning, feeding the
horses. Then we would turn out
and work from six until midday
Then we had our dinner, a bowl
full of boiled cabbage. At half
past one, We had to start again
and quit at eight in the evening,
and it would be ten O'Clock before
we could get to bed.
1--WE had the worst beds they
could give US. There was only
straw to lie on, with one thin
blanket over US, but plenty of
creepers to keep US warm.
"The food they allowed US was
disgrace. l wouldn't have the
face to feed the pigs with it. At
night they would lock us up like
convicts, with great iron bars at
the windows. But with all their
schemes to keep US locked in at
night, we always went out. We
made trap door one night, and
then we would go out to the other
farms, stealing hens, geese, pota.

ITALIANS SEND ID
 RUSSIA FOR COAL

ROME.-The Italian government is trying to obtain coal from South ern Russia so as to slave off the menace of winter without source of heat Two commercial commis- sions have been sent to the vast basin of the Donetz in Southern Russia, where Italian experts esti- mate there are untouched coal lands that will yield ffty-seven billion tons. The experts also say there are one hundred seventy-four billion tons of coal in Siberia or in parts of European Russia outside of the Donetz basin.
 It is calculated that if the coal supply of Southern Russia were properly exploited the territory would furnish all the coal necessary for the Mediterranean countries.
 Coal for Italy is now quoted at S5.50 at Norfolk, Va, but 1t costs $50 ton to bring it to Genoa.

FA|RBANKSANS HEAR
 OF HAGAN'S DEMISE

There was a persistent rumor in circulation in Fairbanks Saturday afternoon to the effect that Deputy Marshal James Hagan had dropped dead on the street, in Nenana. Like the many rumors that originate in Alaskan towns, this one spread rapidly, accommodating details with each telling, until Fairbanks knew all about the tragedy, even to the color of the necktie worn by the deputy at the time of his alleged demise.
 All that prevented a funeral was a phone message to Nenana to as certain the truth of the report. Some doubter in the upper town refused to accept the story as told to him, and called up the local marshal's office for confirmation, and was informed by Deputy Marshal Hagan that the report had been greatly exaggerated.

RELICS OF OLO
 GAMBLING DAYS
 GO UP IN SMOKE

LEADVILLE, Colo. - That the gambling days of Leadville are q thing of the past, at least in so far as the legal phases of wooing the goddess of chance are concerned, was demonstrated here recently when gaming paraphernalia consist ing principally of roulette wheels and valued conservatively at s7,000, was carted to the city dumping grounds by deputy sheriffs and there burned. The destruction of the big pile of gambling apparatus came about as the result of a court order issued following a spectacular raid. One roulette wheel destroyed by the officers was valued at about S2.- 500. It was originally single table, but had been converted into a double one. The numbers on the original table were inlaid with mother-of-pearl, ebony, ironwood, mahogany, lockwood, and rosewood. The wheel was made of mahogany and ebony and all points and metal parts of solid silver. The ball used on this wheel was solid ivory The addition consisted of an ordinary, cheaply-constructed table with the numerals painted on heavy oilcloth. An interesting feature in connec- ton with this particular layout was that it could be controlled by the house. The control was of the double type; that is, it could be manipulated either by the croupier or operator or by someone located in an adjacent room. Whether this feature was ever used could not be determined.
 Other articles destroyed in the fire included card tables. faro ta- bles, playing cards, poker chips, and faro boxes.
