AT the close of the war the war de.
partment, it is reported, had eighteen
million curry combs on hand That looks
like preparing for an eighteen year
war, for surely one million combs per
year would be ample. There were less
than a million horses and mules. Such
a result shows more fitting ability for
the construction of curry combs than
aeroplaues.

THE most horrible thing one can read
in print appears this month in the
Metropo magazine which is running
serially The autobiography of Madame
Blotchl areva the Russian leader of the
Battalion Of Death " She was taken
prisoner by the Bolsheviki and was
lined up TO be shot only TO be saved at
the last moment. Two thousand bodies
Of mere suspects lay all about and the
firing squad was made up of perverts
with " 'om killing had become an insane
passion and in whom an emotion such as
human sympathy did not exist Be
cause five young officers out of fifteen
attempted to escape, they were not
shot but had their eyes gouged out and
were then thrown into a heap of coal
dust In their excruiating agony they
attempted any means OF killing them
selves even attempting to choke to
death on small stones they crammed
into their mouths. There is more, all
diabollcal in its awfulness and enough to
test ones faith in the ultimate salvation
of the race.

and starved. At this time the British
were sending rations for prisoners,
but when the prisoners refused to
work the Germans moved them quick
ly from one place to another and used
other underhand methods to prevent
them getting the food sent to them.
More than year elapsed before
Porter received his first rations from
the British Government Until that
time he subsisted entirely on two
slices of Holtz bread (this bread is
made of potato Feelings, ground
wheat straw and wood pulp, carrots
for dinner and quart of turnips for
supper. When he worked in the
coal mines and later in the steel
mills he received mark a day from
the German Government.
Dawson Wigginton, of Louisville,
was prisoner of the Germans for
three hours. American soldiers then
captured the position at which he had
been taken prisoner, and he and his
rescuers captured the five Germans

wounded a second time, and spent a
year in French hospital. Return
ing to the front in 1916 he was again
severely wounded and left on the field
This time his name appeared in the
list of dead. But Porter was this
time rescued from a shell hole by the
Germans and made prisoner. After
being in a German hospital for four
months he was sent to a farm in
Westphalia to work. He refused to
work and was beaten with iron rods

Kentuckians' Experiences in
German Prison CamDs

Ray Boy, Of Hopkinsville, Ky. was
taken a prisoner few days before
the arnistice was signed. Before he
was captured he brought down two
German soldiers, in which fight he
was wounded. He and two Germans
were taken to the hospital at the
same time. Boyd, who has recently re-
turned to his home says that he was
treated well while in the German
hospital, and even invited to remain
in Germany. He said he declined this
invitation with thanks, as the dear
old U. S. A. was good enough for him.
Lieut.. Hugh Duncan, of Lexington.
KY, was captured and held as pris-
oner for nine months before being re-
leased. He was forced to eat rations
for four or five months, after which
time Red Coss parcels began to ar
rive for the prisoners. He said the
Germans took one third of each mans
Red Cross portion.
1t was reported by the Associated
Press on April 81, 1919, that eleven
American prisoners, who had been
held by the Bolshevik had been sent
out of Russia by way of Stockholm.
In this number was John Triplett, of
Lackey, in Floyd County, KY.
Clarence HINES, of Hickman, Full
ton County, KY, after months Of
wonderful experiences and fighting
in France, is home again, bearing the
scars of German bullets on his arm,
breast and leg. He had fully re-
covered from his wounds. He was
one of the fifteen prisoners captured
by the Germans in the big drive. He
reports that the Germans treated him
well in prison, but that the food and
medical attention were nothing to
brag about.
Leslie Pedigo, of Louisville, KY,
spent two horror-filled years in a.
German prison. While on board a |
British merchant ship he was cap
tured by the German raider, Moewe
cary in 1917. Pedigo relates that
during the time he was in prison he
was beaten, starved and worked to a ]
point almost beyond endurance. Part
of this work was unloading pig iron. |
The diet consisted of small snail
soup and turnips. Part of Pedigo's |
story is as follows:
cat Lubbock we were housed in |
warehouses and slept in ship bunks |
We worked, loading and unloading
pig-iron from ships, from o'clock |
III Vic Aioi mug uAtIl O " ClOCk dC u1RuC. /
This work was like torture to ali of |
US, There were also many small |
fellows, and the heavy work soon
made them look like living skeletons.
The menu of the German army and
navy for prisoners must have been
the same, for even at Lubbock we were
given only the same old snail soup,
and boiled, and sometimes raw, tur-
nlps. When we were unruly and
oftentimes when we were not, we
were given pulp bread and water and
kept on this diet for days. I tried
four times to escape and all I got
was hole in my head, and vacancy
which these false, teeth fill. The
treatment which we got when we
were recaptured after trying to escape

Charles Porter, of Louisville, en-
listed with the Canadians in 1914.
On November %, 1914 he was on the
firing line, with the 3rd Battalion.
He was in the first battle at Ypres.
He was wounded in January at St.
Julien, spent two months in the hospi.
