had stove in the center, Il good stove
and big one, but at first it was OF
no use to us, because the Germans
would not give us coal or wood for it.
But after shivering for while, we be-
gan ripping the boards out of the bar
racks, and taking the dividing boards
from the benches that we used for
beds.
Later, they gave each of us mat
tress filled with wood shavings, and a
blanket that was about as warm as a
pane of glass. The mattresses were
placed on the ground in the barracks, !
which were very damp, and after three
or four days, the shavings would be-
gin to rot and the mattresses to smell.
In order to keep warm we slept as
close together as we could, which
rapidly.
When we were receiving our rations,
the sentries would offer us an extra
ration if we would take lash from
their belts. We were so hungry that
many and many man would go up
body from the heavy leather belts
with brass tongue and buckle. just to
get a little more shadow" soup or
barley coffee or mud bread.
One morning the sentries picked out
ten men from our barracks. Of which
I was one, and drilled us over field
near the kuche. There was large
tank in the field and we had to pump
(, water into it. 1t was very cold, and
we were weak and sick, SO we would
fall one after another, not caring
/ whether we ever got UP or not. Fritz
rifle butt. We asked for gloves, be-
cause our hands were freezing, but all
We got was "Nichts."
After we had been there for about
an hour and a half, one of our men
became very sick so that I thought
he was going to die, and when he fell
over, l reported it to sentry. The
sentry came over, saw him lying in
the snow, yelled, "Schwein, nicht
krank !" grabbed him by the shoulder,
and pulled him all the way across the
field to the office of the camp COM
mander. Then he was placed in the
guard house, where he remained for
two days. The next thing we knew
the Russians had been ordered to
make a box. and We're being marched
to the guard house to put him in II
and bury him.

ROLLS-ROYCE PLANT HERE.
Plans Under Way for Establish
ment in United States.


1t was learned yesterday through an
announcement made by Claude johnson,
Company OF Derby, England that plans
are being made for the establishment of
a branch factory to manufacture Rolls
Royce products in America. Che under
taking is TO be financed through Aldred
& Co. New York bankers. who will pro-
vide the capital probably 100000. A
factory is to be erected here, but under
the present British war act it is not per-
missible to transfer British capital to
this country for such industrial pur-
poses. 1t was necessary, therefore, to
obtain funds necessary in this country
before the project could be worked out.
The new venture, it was explained
yesterday. is the result of growing de-
mand in America for Rolls-Royc prod
ucts. Orders now on hand in the British
plant will absorb all of the British out
put for a year and half, it was said
In 1913 many factories at the request OF
the British Government made units OF
the Rolls-Royce aero engine and that
experience is said to have satisfied the
company that with proper supervision
the Rolls-Royce products can be made
here as excellently as they are made in
England. While the site of the new factory
has not been decided upon, 1t is known
that operations will be directed by eX-
perts from England. The chassis to be
made in the American and British plants
will be identical in every respect. The
company has branch houses in New
York, London. Madrid, Paris and Bonn
bay.

BANK STATEMENT
HAS A NEW ITEM
Federal Reserve Explains the
Meaning of "Gold With
Foreign Agencies"

The Federal Reserve Bank of New
York counts gold as revenue as soon as
1t is deposited in the vaults of the Bank
OF England to the credit of the reserve
bank, but does not so count it SO long as
1t is in transit or in the custody of
other countries. This explains the new
item which appeared in last weeks Fed
eral Reserve Bank statement, showing
Sl6,691,265 gold with foreign agencies
which was counted as reserve. The other
Item. gold in transit or in custody in
foreign countries, amounting to S114,-
13S,026. was counted as an asset, but
was not included in the gold reserve ac-
count 1t will be so counted as soon as
1t reaches the Bank of England's vaults.
Referring to the Federal Reserve
Boards statement that "The banks
gold reserve, because Of the transfer OF
gold from the Continent to the vaults of
the Bank of England, received an addi-
ton of $45,500,0o0, while the amount of
gold in transit or in custody shows a de-
cline OF s44,100,000, the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York said yesterday:
THE statement of condition of the
Federal Reserve Bank of New York a:
the close OF business September 10, 1919,
shows decrease from the previous week
of approximately $4,000 900 in the item
gold in transit or in custody in foreign
countries This is due to the introduce
ton Of that amount into the gold re-
serves OF the twelve Federal Reserve
hanks, a corresponding amount of our gold
in foreign countries having been trans
ferred from the Continent to the Bank OF
England, London. The proportionate share
of the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York of this gold with the bank OF Eng
land is 1851, 265.03, which Is shown in

tributed among the other Federal Re.

FRANCE BUYS IN GERMANY.
Reconstruction Ministry Orders
Knitting Machinery.
By a sta1 Correspondent Of THE Sun.

Copyright. 1919; all rights reserved
PARIS. Sept. 22.--Not only is the
French Government apparently encour-
aging its citizens to buy in Germany on
account OF the exchange situation. but
is placing orders in that country. The
French Ministry of Reconstruction has
just ordered quantity of knitting ma
chinery from Germany for use in the
devastated regions
The price lists circulated some months
ago by the Germans brought many
orders from French buyers. The en-
enlargement which the French Gov
eminent is giving its citizens to buy
in Germany is plainly designed as a
club to compel the United States to
act speedily in a readjustment of the
exchange situation. In this 1t is held
that France is eminently justified as the
purchasing power of the franc in Ger
many is almost the same as the pur-
chasing power of the American dollar in
France. Another argument advanced is
that France. by taking advantage of
this situation. is only taking another way
Of making Germany pay for the war.

FROM the beginning of time, men have
