indeed. The commandant was Haupt-
mann Albreeht, whose name should be
known to the civilized world" for trying
to make his prisoners captivity "as pain
full as possible"
It was at Munden that Capt. Gilliland
helped the first of the prisoners who tried
to escape, and from that time until two
and half years later he was constantly
engaged in such enterprises. Attempting
escape was done deliberately, for he and
his fellows realized that such efforts in
creased the number of guards and took
that many men away from the fighting
fronts Through the good Offices of
James w. Gerard, the American Ambas-
sador, Gilliland was removed to Bischofs
werda, a place that was a heaven com
pared to Munden, but where indifference
amounting to plain, unadorned brutality
was still the portion of the wounded Brit
ish. Again through Mr.. Gerard's good
Offices Capt. Gilliland was sent to Dresden
for a necessary operation, and here he is
very ready to give credit to surgeon, order
lies and nurse for their kindness to him.
But even here he had q perfect specimen
of German brutality, and from woman.
On the day Rumania declared war against
Germany the matron Of the hospital came
into his room and called the helpless in
valid prisoner every unprintable name the
depths Of German invective could imag
inc. The experiences in the "hell hole o.
Ingoldstadt," with its "blond beast" COM
mandant are shocking reading. But here
quite the worst Of Capt. Gilliland's ex-
perienecs ended, for it was not long after
that he succeeded in making his escape.
His chapter describing his impressions Of
London on his return to "Blighty," when
he realized he had passed from youth ITO
the dull monotony of middle life" In
those German prison camps, is very
touching
Ambassador Gerard has written brief
but forceful preface to the book, in which
he reiterates all the writer says of his
experiences. Mr.. Gerard says this bru-
tally toward British prisoners was due
to Ger. Friedrich, "a particularly com
mon, pig-headed and disagreeable Prus-
sian. I regret that by his death from
heart disease within the last year he
cheated the gallows." And he adds,
"There are others alive of those respon-
sib:e for the frightful conditions in the
prison camps, and these brutal towards
m'st be made to pay for their cruelty
with their own skins"

How Farmers Kiew
Problem, of II. CT

i An authoritative inter-
probation of the view the
American farmer takes of
the present cost-of-living
situation has been written
for the Editorial Section of
tonorrow's Sunday Star by
the official spokesman Of
the National Grange, the
worlds largest organiza-
ton of producing farmers.
It is not only an Interest,"
ing but it is a necessary
contribution to considera-
ton of the question which
during the present week
has overshadowed all
others.
To attempt solution of
the problem without taking
into account the farmers
viewpoint would be like
trying to run with one leg
chained to a stake.
