The Picnic

Tins picnic among the armchairs of the
Senators was too picturesque not to tickle
the humor of those of US who needed comic
relief. Presently some very weak but boil
ing coffee was brought. There was nothing
to drink from but the sad chemists tum-
bier. The soldier hesitated to fill it and
Louise offered the heel of her slipper
The soldier refused and every one laughed
Orders seemed forgotten, till suddenly
the interpreter came in. "Slence!" he
shouted in his rough voice, and we came
back to reality. We all took our places
quietly and some went on quietly munching
the German soldiers bread.
The officers arrived together and slowly
took their seats. "Stand!" shouted the in
terpreter fiercely. The auditor declared
the sitting open.
The tall, thin man with the gray beard
who had been my neighbor in the motor,
and was detained as a witness, was called.
He was accused Of having signed a receipt
for payment Of the board of five young
men-French recruits--which receipt was
found in his landlady's house. The land
lady was also arrested and supposed to be
one OF the principals OF the affair. But
was he an accomplice, He said that he
had only signed in her stead because she
was busy and that he did not know any,
thing of the intentions Of the young men
Some other dodgers were called. Then
came the miners who had housed English
wounded and brought them to Brussels.
The first was a strappng youth Of twenty
five with corduroy trousers and a black
woollen jersey. He spoke French-but
what French! This was his share: One
day he met our big Louise with young D..
who were taking a dozen Frenchmcn to
Brussels. They asked him to go with them
and promised him he should be we'll paid.
He consented, and after receiving twenty
francs nt Place Rouppe went home again
delighted with his windfall. Whence came
these young men and where were thew
going? II don't know-it's the women
What" ITS the women who
know all that. did what they told me, and
knew nothing more" 1t was evident that
he was telling the truth.
Then came a man of forty-fvc short and
thin. with an enormous bald head and a
tiny jaw. He said how an Englishman, not
yet recovered from his wounds. had asked
shelter for some days. He had not the
heart to refuse and, as soon as possible. he
had taken him to Brussels. third. of
the same type but taller, with big mus
tache and cosly beard, told his tale boldly.

fifteen. He can walk and eat all he
wants and is very nice man. Poor
chap! Only ten months in a prison camp
but terribly emaciated and weak that
he is bathed in sweat at the slightest ex-
ertion, and his arms and legs look like
sticks. The other boy is only twenty
years old, and is weak and i'll he can
not walk at all. He is literally nothing
but skin and bones, and his skin has that
stiff, drawn look that makes you just
shudder. His poor little body is covered
with bruises and sores from maltrcat-
ment, and because the bones are not
covered with anything but the skin
wherever there is the slightest pressure
it makes a bruise.
"Of course, both Of them have tuber-
culosis, I'm positive, and the boy has
very bad dysentery; cannot assiniIate
anything. Both Of them have lost al
most all their hair. They told me that
they were given coffee made Of corn in
the morning about 7 o'clock; then we're
taken out to work and not brought in
again until S p. M, when they were
given a vegetable soup with carrots or
cabbage in it, and two small slices Of
bread. That was literally ali for ten
months, and working hard all day under
most brutal kicks and cuffs and blows
with the butt ends Of the rifles carried
by the guards.
"The stories of these two men are
enough to make ono wild with anger
and Indignation. The camp was COM

received no mail and no packages while
they were there, and the letters they
wrote were ne received. There were
some French Italian prisoners in the
same camp, but they were able to get
things from sympathizers among the
civilians (this was in Alsace), but the
British seemed to get the worst treat
ment Of all. 1t is horrible to think that
any one possibly forgive or forget
things like that. One can't be too severe

must be handled as such. | almost burn

and still do.
ITO the Boche prisoners here in
the hospital, as sleek and fat as can be,
with decent treatment and excellent
food, and then go into my barrack and
look at those miserable wrecks, victims
Of systematic starvation and abuse!
can't tell you what rage it fills mo with.
And to think that the brutes merely
opened the gates of the camps and told
their prisoners to get out and homo az
best they could, without food or CLOTH
ing or transportation, no matter how
sick and weak they might be!
"The roads are lined with the dead
bodies of returning prisoners, and in
the front line hospitals they are like
flies. 1t seems as though many had the
will to carry them on, and then as soon
as they get into bed and have attained
their goal give up and die. Thirty
eight died in one day at one hospital
out of one hundred prisoners received"

me was the interpreter. After having
stated my civil standing, the auditor asked

At that moment my counsel interrupted
to present letter from a German news

service. He evidently praised my conduct

Then some soldiers arrived with great

pans. BY groups our guards left us to
have dinner
Surveillance slackened, conversation be-

out, but faces were flushed, there was fever
