Prisoners in Siberia
Dying by Thousands
Fugitive Austrians Assert Deaths
bv Wholesale Are Caused by
Starvation and Disease

COPENHAGEN Nov. S.-lleutenant
Fischer, of the Austrian army, and eig'
comrades, who arrived here to-day
after escaping from a Siberian prison
ers' camp, declared that the prisoners
in Siberia were dying by wholesale
from starvation. tuberculosis, typhoid
and other diseases.
AS an example of the death rate, the
Austrians cite one camp of 5000 prs-
oners, OF whom, they said, 1000 die
in six months Forty thousand died
up to the end of 1918, the Austrians de-
clared, and the number who had per
ished since then was unknown. Con-
ditions we're getting worse daily, they
said, and certain camps were called
dead mans camps" because there were
so many deaths.
Owing to the frozen ground it was
impossible to bury the dead during the
winter, according to the Aus trians, and
the naked bodies Of the dead prisoners
were stacked like logs outside the huts
they had occupied. remaining there
until spring. During the last summer
large graves were dug in advance for
those doomed to death by starvation
or illness during the winter.

Ruth VIII Be Prise
In First Legal Battle

The first of the legal battles
threatened in the new baseball
war will be fought over the pos
session Of "Babe" Ruth. The
club owners standing out of the

property of the American League.
The five club owners, constituting
a majority Of the club owners of
the league, say that the league
still exists, and will fight the
Yankees for possession Of Ruth.
The Home Run King is under con-
tract to the New York Yankees

SKUNKS WILL YIELD PROFIT
Besides Destroying Mice, Grasshop-

Fur Is Valuable

Farming is supposed to deal only
with dOmesticated animals. Few per-

friendly relations with the skunk, al
though it has been done under the mis-
apprehension that the animal was a
cat.
Skunks destroy mice. grasshoppers,
crickets and white grubs and yield
very valuable fur. A couple of dozen
skunks running around the farm will
produce 500 worth Of fur and save
much money by the animals that they
kill. If the chickens are kept in

PROPER LOCATION FOR ROAD
Among Other Things Consider Easy
Grades, Good Drainage and Elimi-
nation of Culverts.

Some of the things to be considered
in locating a road are easy grades.
good drainage, exposure to sunshine,
elimination of culverts and bridges by
avoiding unnecessary creek crossings,
directness and the number of farms
to be served for given length Of road.
Whenever possible to avoid it, good
location should not be rejected merely
because a certain roadway has been in
use for some time. If the location OF
q used road is bad it should be
changed If possible. In relocating
roads avoid railroad crossings at
grade.
