Living conditions for allied prison
ers Of war in Germany were bad
, enough during the war, but worse
after the armistice was siEned. Ger
many deliberately shifted the respon-
sfbility for the delays in repatriation
OF allied prisonets of war onto the
heads Of the allies.
Germany treated as q scrap of pa
per the Brest-L4tovsk treaty, under
which she should have repatriated
Russian prisoners as soon as that
treaty was Signed. Had it not been
Tor the representatives Of the United
states, Great Britain and France, the
war prisoners Of smaller nations and
OF Russia would have been left to
shift for themselves by the Germans.
These and other startling facts ]
learned from my experience as aide
de-camp 10 Gen. George II. Harries,
n A, the American member Of the
repatriation commission, and I will
show you that they are all facts and
part Of a deliberate scheme OF the
Germans.
Shortly after the signing Of the
srmistice, the authorities OF the new
German republic saw that they were
getting into a great deal Of trouble,
and that there was going to be con-
siderable criticism Of the sloVness
with which prisoners Of war were be-
ing repatriated. They also found
il difficult, in their dlSorganfEed state,

aners, and. in fact. to handle the situ-
alton at all They knew that the al
lied governments would demand an
sceounting for every man they knew

So, to shift the responsibility and
to provide = scapegoat for at least
part Of the blame, they requested the
allied American mission, with head
quarters at Spa, Belgium, to send
missions representing the various
countries to Berlin. -

TOPRE-WAR
BUSINESS IS SEEN

NEW YORK, April 27.-An investi-
cation of economic conditions in fifty
cities in as many sections of, the
countrl leads the United States
Mortgage and Trust Company to issue
a statement showing a continued inn
provement in business and a rapid
move toward pre-war conditions.
The reports made to the company
show that the labor supply is at pres
ent adequate, and returning soldiers
are being generally absorbed with
cut undue friction.
Rents. while considerably higher
and new building temporarily ar
rested, are not without promise Of
early improvement.
Conditions Encouraging.
Real estate conditions are en-
couraging," the statement says, and
mortgage money is easy. Retail trade
is excellent"
The company reports that "the Fed
eral Reserve System is functioning
in a highly satisfactory manner" and
the Federal Farm Loan System iS
gradually gaining in influence and
popularity"
Prediction is made for the early
beginning Of a building campaign
OF good proportions.
I'm the wheat growing area" says
the business conditions summary,
the Government guaranteed price
for the 1919 crop has resulted in a
good demand for wheat land. There
Is considerable activity in farm land
generally, and more or less activity
in small acreage plots. Oil and fruit
lands are also in favor.
Retail Health.
Retail trade is in a healthy, -four
ing condition, marked by only a few
instances of depression and caution
as to OverstOcking: The splendid
possibilities for trade expansion
opened up by the war are being met
by responsive appreciation on the
part of business men, manufacturers
trade organizations and public offi-
cials."
The reports received from agricui-
tural districts are that extensive
plans are being made for bringing
under cultivation largely increased
areas through irrigation and other
methods.

sion for the repatriation Of prisoners,
and General Ewart acted for Great
Britain.
1t was chiefly due to the efforts Of
these three men that French, British
and American prisoners and the pris-
oneFs Of all the smaller natioualities
were repatriated satisfactorily and
the hordes OF Russians prisoners in
Germany properly cared for.
The task which confronted them
will be seen at q glance when 1 say
that, according to German war officc
fisures, the following numbers of ofEi-
GERS and men W ere IN German prison
camps at the time the armistice was
signed: ...-....

zoe men.
Some Prisoners Fer Years.
On the face Of it the. Frenchs British,
and Italians had a gigantic task ahead
OF them. Many of their men had been
prisoners for months; some Of them
for years, and unless they were quick
Iy returned to decent surroundings
with proper nourishmeut their health
and strength would be broken for lHe.
This was true even OF those who had
not been prisoners for very long.
As for the Americans, the work
seemed simpler. But we soon found
that chaos reigned. The German
lists were none too good to begin
with, and our checking was made
trcbly difficult by the fact that, as
soon as they heard the srmistice was
signed, the prisoners Of war had
made a general exodus from many OF
the prison camps and had wandered
on at the promptings Of their wills.
1t may seem strange that they
were permitted to do so. Not at all
when you understand and remember
the workings OF the TeJitonic mind.
The German officials felt no respOn-
sibility for these men now that they
were no longer potential lighters

from getting back TO the firing lines

Between 20 and 50 Camps.

DGN"GCA ~ ana % SAmUHs
Today there are in Germany some
forty or fifty Russian prison canps.
each holding 10000 to 10000 pris-
OneTs. Fifty per cent OF these camps
are under the control Of the British
personnel and so per cent are under
the control Of the American personnel.
There is a major in charge of each
camp, who takes his orders from his
general. He has his staf of officers
and a sufficient number Of enlisted
mems 10 carry out the duties in con-
nection with the camp.
When I LEFT Berlin. II was planned
to have German guards, but it is my
conviction that this pain has been laid
aside and that allied soldiers are act
ing in this capacity to prevent the
spread Of German propaganda among
the prisoners.
The British Red Cross is co-operat-
ing with the British military author
ity in their camps, and the American
Red Cross is cooperating with Cen
eral Harries in the camps where he
is in charge. The men are being FED
and clothed.
Apparently many OF the Russians
had never Jared so sumptuously. or
they had become so accustomed to
light eating during their stay in the
German camps that they found the
ration too much. for them and many
were caught selling a large share TO
civilians. The allies consequently
placed the Russians on half rations,
and the men thrive.
They are given work TO do, and tho
camps are being put upon 4 sanitary
basis, a condition which never existed
previous to the armistice.
This solution Of the, Russian pris-
oner problem, seems the best that
could be arrived at. It would be
greatly detrimental to the interests
Of the allies to turn more than
5O0,0 900 men back into Russia at this
time. Even though the majority
were made prisoners before the
Brest-LitoYsk treaty and probably
most were members of the old
regime opposed to Bolshevik poll
cies, they have had enough OF suf-
ferlng and starvation, and the only
course open TO them would be TO

"BRACKY" TAKES
TEAM OFF FIELD
Refused to Play With Lop-
sided Ball; Game Was Tie,
According to imp

At recent baseball game fan
remarked, you never see 'Brackey'
real mad in a game" That fan
should have been at Parkesburg last
evening. Was Johnny Breckenridge
mad? He was boiling all over and
according to reports from several
local fans who witnessed the game
at Parkesburg he had a right to be.
The Klein Chocolate team manager
took his team from the field in the
seventh inning when the umpire in
sisted that a lopsided ball, with a
ripped cover should be kept in the
game. The contest ended right
there with the score 3 to 3.
1t was the third game in the series
between Klein and Parkesburg. In
the eighth inning Parkesburg had
one man in, two on bases and were
two runs behind Klein when a dis
pute arose over ban which Catcher
Trout wanted tossed out of the game
by Umpire Rusey, but which the
latter refused to do. Trout then got
the disputed ball in his possession
and threw it over the fence. When
the ball disappeared the two
Parkesburg base runners started a
canter to the plate and crossed the
rubber, tieing the score.
When Umpire Rusey allowed these
runs the Klein team left the field
and refused to come back, although
Manager ST PauXtis, of Parkesburg,
agreed to send back the man who
was on first base at the time, but
insisted that the runner who was on
third be allowed to score. Manager
John Breckenridge of the Kleins,
would not consent to this and refus-
ed to allow his team to again take
the field. After waiting the custo-
mary time for the Kleins to reap
pear Umpire Rusey declared the
game forfeited to Parkesburg.
The discussion broke up what
had been a most hotly played series
this year, for following the unpleas-
ant ending of the game, owner Hor-
ace A. Beale, of the Parkesburg
club, announced that he had sew
eral further games with the Eliza
bethville club. Each club had won
a game from the other prior to
yesterdays game.
In the game Klein raped Sterl-
ing hard at times, but brilliant sup
port carried the local pitcher over
many tight places. Decatur pitched
good ball and had the locals blank
ed until the eighth when the trouble
