CHAPTER II.
The Prison Ship.


 The greater portion of that voyage of B days I would blot entirely from memory if possible. I cannot hope to describe 1t in any detail-the foul smells. the discomfort, the ceaseless horror of food, the close companion ship of men turned into mere animals by suffering and distress, the weari- some days. the black. sleepless nights, the poisonous air, and the brutality of guards. can never forget these things, for they have scared my soul. The hatch above remained open, but carefully guarded night and day, while we were permitted on deck for air and exercise only in squads of ten, two hours out of every twenty-four. This alone served to break the dread mo- notony of the voyage. From our exer- else on deck we generally returned be- low drenched to the skin, but glad to even pay that price for two hours of fresh air, and an opportunity to gaze about at sea and sky. We were herd ed well forward, q rope dividing us

Just as was ap- preaching the hatch to descend our eyes met fairly, and I instantly knew she saw and recognized me. For a single second our glances clung, as though some mysterious influence held us to each other-then the angry guard struck me with the stock of his piece.

Rum0rs of Diuieiiing
Prussia Cause an
Uproar in Berlin

BERLIN, Jan. 25 (By The Associated
Press ).-Overshadowing the issue Of
the Prussan State elections, which are
to be held Sunday, has suddenly, al
most overnight become paramount the
question of the division Of Pruss ia
into several states
The "Nossische Zeitung' recently re-
ported that the proposed National Con
stitution contemplated dividing Prus-
sia into eight states. The next day
the official news agency issued a state
ment, inspired by the government de-
clarlng the newspapers statement was
without foundation. The publication
the same day of the memorial accom-
panying the proposed constitution
demonstrated, however, that while the
denial was correct, it was disingcnu-
Gus, inasmuch as paragraph XI of the
Constitution permits the formation Of
new states within the empire "Without
regard to former state Boundaries"
The Conservatives, Clericals and Ma
tional- Liberals have seized on this
paragraph as g campaign issue against
the Socialists and German Democrats
The Democrats, however, declared
Thursday that they were opposed to
dividing up Prussia. To-day it was
announced that Hugo Preuss, Minister
of the Interior, who is an authority on
the Constitution and also Democratic
candidate for the Assembly in Berlin,
probably would not accept the mandate
if elected. This leaves the Socialists
isolated as defenders of the eventual
division of Prussia and may conceiv-
ably affect the result of the elections

Many Officers Refuse to
Serve--Demonstration at
Funeral of Liebknecht

BERLIN, Jan. % (By The Associated
Press The "New Berlner Zeitung'
says it learns the government is ac-
lively occupied with military prepara-
tions for an expected Bolshevik in
vasion early in the spring, and that it
expects to receive the necessary added
authority from the National Assembly
to mobilize two effective armies, which
are to be sent TO East Prussia and
Siesia
The present preparations are con-
fined to the reorganization of volunteer
battalions, some of which are financed
privately, owing to the financial straits
of the government The German army
will also be called on to protect troops
returning from the Near East by way
of the Ukraine.
One of the chief difficulties being en-
countered is the disinclnation Of of
fcers to re9nlist because Of the treat
ment they received in the early days OF
the revolution.
Hindenburg to Lead
The newspaper says the campaign to
protect the eastern border from Rus
sian invasion will be under the general
direction Of Field Marshal Won linden
burg, whose headquarters has not yet
been moved from Cassel on account of
the alleged opposition of the soldiers
councils in the west to the proposed
campaign.
The bodies of DR.. Karl Liebknecht
and 33 other members Of the Spartacide
group of Socialists who were killed in
the recent disorders were burned in the
cemetery at Friedrichsfelde, near Ber-
lin, to- day.
Throughout the day the thorough
fares in the centre of Berlin were
crowded with soldiers. Many thousands
of workers ceased their labors and en-
gagged in demonstration No serious
conflicts have been reported
Seventy on Spartacides' Staff
The Bolshevik telegraphic agency,
Rosta, which was raided in the Spar
tacide rebellion, had staff OF 70 per
sons, including many women, all of
whom were drawing liberal salaries.
The payroll was headed by the former
police chief, Eichhorn, with 900 marks
(S250) monthly; Eichhorn's wife drew
400 marks ($100) a month, while she
also was on the city's payroll as her
husbands assistant at Police Head
quarters.
While the Rosta ostensibly was a
news exchange, an investigation has re-
vealed the fact that it was carrying out
elaborate propagandist activities.
