Million Captive
Russians Face
Hunger Death
Prisoners in German and
Austrian Camps Reported
Eating Flesh of the Dead
By Chester M. Wright

PARIS, Feb. 6.-The presence of
more than million Russian prisoners
under conditions of acute suffering in
Germany and Austria forms one of the
most tragic features of the armstce
! period. A Russian prisoner who escaped
from German prison camp and made
his way to France declares that in some
cases the state of starvation in the
camps is SO intense and desperate that
the men actually are eating the flesh
of their dead comrades.
Most of the prisoners arc Russians
who were taken captive during the
advance into East Prussia-the Russian
drive to save Paris. They fell into
German hands while fighting for the
Allied cause and giving service of
greatest value. Today they are prac-
tically deserted.
Getting Only Small Relief
The Soviets know them not, though
they would like to have them return
and join the Red Guard. The Allies
are giving them only small relief
through the international Y. NJ. c.. A.
The international Red Cross is said
to be eager to help, nut is prevented
from doing SO by restrictions
From member of the Russian COM
mittce in Paris comes the information
that following the signing of the ar
mistlce the Germans began marching
the Russian prisoners to the Russian
frontier, requesting them to enter Rus
sia and join the Red Guard. Starva-
ton being the alternative, it is said
that about 100000 of the prisoners were
SO marched before the practice was
stopped by the Allies.
showed that about $50 officers we're
shot at the frontier for refusal to join
the Reds. The German government is
fully aware Of the position Of the Rus
sian prisoners and treats them accord
ingly, as friendless outcasts, MANY of
them being used as laborers, but the
bulk Of them remaining in prison
camps.
A Case for Allied Justice
The prisoners are said to be in a
state of filth and raggedness that
makes the spread of disease among
them certain. Shoes are possessed only
by a few. Hats are mostly replaced
by nondescript coverings made of
scraps of materials.
Something must be done for these
prisoners by the Allies" said the Rus
sian committeeman to me. "If they are
ssft friendless, they will become a
menace to the cause Of the Allies and
VII hate the Allies for deserting them.
"hat they now ask from the Allies,
with whom they fought bravciy, IS
Iood; In simple usiicc, these men
should not be left b. the Allies to
die Of hunger and diseasep

PARIS, Feb. 6.-The Supreme Coun-
ell has received the acceptance of the
Russian Bolshevik government Of the
invitation to attend the conference on
Princes Islands. Arrangements were
made Immediately to send joint com
mitttee of two Representatives from
each of the five great powers to meet
the representatives Of the Soviet gov
ernment
The wireless dispatch from the
Soviet government, accepting the in
vitation, was received last night while
the conference commission on society
of nations was in session.
Willing to Farley
The dispatch begins by referring to
complaints from the Entente press
concerning international propaganda
and declares the Soviet government is
ready, "if there be occasion, to enter
into a general agreement with the En-
tente powers on their undertaking not
to interfere with Russian internal af-
fairs"
1t then announces that the govern.
ment is disposed to confer on rne
basis indicated in the note from the
peace conference, at Princes Islands or
elsewhere with all the Entente powers
or some of them separately, or even
with some of the Russian political
groups at the request of the Entente
powers"
In conclusion, the Entente powers are
asked TO inform the Soviet government
without delay where it's repre- esentatives.
are to go, also the date and route TO
be taken.
The members of the committee will
be announced soon. One of the Amer
ican delegates will be personal friend
of President ilson, who has been a
resident of Europe for q number of.
years, and the other will be an
American newspaper editor we'll known
in the Middle West
The original date for the meeting
on the Princes Islands, February 15,
probably viii be changed in order to
give the committees time to reach the
island
No further response from the other
Russian factions has been received
and it is not known if the other fac
tions will be represented. II is stated
that in any event the conference wita
the representatives OF the Soviet gov
ernmcnt will proceed.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.--The House
and Senate revenue bill conferrees, in
the revised bill published to-day and
reported to the House, call upon the
taxpayers of the United States to pay
about 100000 100000 into the Federal
Treasury during the current i1scar year
and $4,000 100000 in the following
years. On the whole the returns from
the compromise measure will be ap-
proXimately the same as from the Sem
ate bill, such increases as were made
not being of n nature to affect the
revenues greatly during the remaining
portion of the fiscal year.
When the revenue bill was passed
uro to raise more than $S.100,0O0 900,
but it would actually have raised about
$500, ,0o0, 900 on account of the elapsed
time since the beginning of the fiscal
year and the reductions of revenues on
account Of temporary prohibitions i'm
posed on the manufacture of alcoholic
liquors. With permanent prohibition
il would have reised even less in en-
suing years.
The Senate started out to make it a
sF,oo0,ooo,ooo bill, but after the artais-
tice, on the recommendation of the
Treasury Department, revised it's work
up to that time with a view to making
1T $G,ooO,o00 900 bill for 1919 and s4,-
100000 thereafter and that even if
the 1919 rates were to prevail for a
full twelve months the amount realize d
wouki be about the same.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.--Co0pcrative
management of the railroads of the
country for the benefit of the railroad
employees is the outstanding feature Of
a plan to be submitted tomorrow to
the Senate Committee on Interstate
Commerce by Glenn E. Plumb. general
counsel of the railway employees broth
erhood.
Under this plan all the railroads
would be purchased outright by the
government and turned over to a sim
gle operating corporation, two-thirds
of whose directors would be elected
directly or indirectly by the employees
and the other third appointed by the
President Of the United States.
Although indorsing the principle of
government ownership and Cooper
ative operation by the employees" en-
braced in the Plumb plan the broth
eAiOOu HcduS nave refused 10 comm hit
themselves to the details of the plan.
For that reason, the original printed
copies of the brief, setting forth that
it was submitted in behalf of the
brotherhoods, have been recalled in
favor of copies which describe it
merely as the memorandum of Glenn T..
Plumb.
A. i. of l.. Unions for Plan
In similar fashion the executives Of
ten Of the railway unions of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, embracing
railroad employees not members of the
four brotherhoods,' have indorsed the
principle of the plan without indors-
ing its details. 1t was agreed by the
union executives that they would re-
commend to their respective organiza-
tions, numbering 100000 employees
the adoption of resolutions indorsing
the fundamentals of the plan. The
four big brotherhoods represent 40O.-
600 additional employees.
