contracts, cast their ballots.
Fourteen of those holding no
contracts cast their ballot in IA

% Frost Bitten

During the week he hoped to in
Spect all divisions, to transfer the
sick prisoners to the base, to turn
over the work to the assistant doc
tor who was to be sent over from
SolvychegodSk, and only after that
to return to KotlaS.
Tomorrow I shall not permit
half the men to be ordered out
to work." the doctor exclaimed.
"None of those half-dressed un-
fOrtunates will be driven out to
work until they get some warm
clothes, il I can help it. Today
twenty-five Of them returned
frostbitten. One man in par
ticular is in a dreadful cOndi-
tiOn-the SOleS of both his feet
are frOStbitten, he cannot walk.
/ am sure that tomorrow I shall
have quite a clash with Aaron
Ovich."
The doctor continued to write.
His fine, high-strung features
were clouded and serious. I
stretched out and tried to sleep.
The clock on the wall reSolutely
beat out the seconds, the book
keeper clattered away on the
bones Of his abacuS, the doctors
pen scratched on. Outside the
night was perfectly still. The
window-panes were covered with
frost in pretty and delicate de-
signs, and inside the room it was
warm and coZy. Sleep gradually
overcame me.
I was awakened by the deep
bass voice of Aaronovich. He was
talking to the doctor.
But, DOCTOR" he said, 'be
reasonable and do not exagger-
ate. You cannot call these men
sick; the majority Of them are
just slackers, trying to be let off
from work. You simply cannot
treat them humanely. If you
pay attention to every COM
plant you will find that pretty
soon none Of them will work at
all. And I am required to full
fill q definite program. Judge
for yourself, what else can do?
Come, let US better drown our
sorrows and have q drink"
The doctor refused.
Gas you like, doctor" AaronO-
vich continued. "But you are
making a mistake by even Civ
ing them hope. Tomorrow /
shall send them all out to work
again, just the same. am look.
ing after number one first"
The Washington times., 1935-10-04
All Doomed

The doctor returned from his
inspection, took off his Smock out.
side the door, and hung it out in
the yard to air. He then came into
the office.
eyes, indeed, there is some.
thing to report all right" he
said, and turning to the book
keeper, added: you will all die
out here before spring; you have
a typhuS epidemic in full swing,
and you let the healthy, the sick
and the dying all sleep together.
How can you do that? I am not
even mentioning those sick with
the flu; they were all driven out
to work this mOrnin and I shall
inspect them tonight. But my
hair stands on end from the hOr-
rOrs I've seen so far. Where is
AaronOvich? He should order
the sick transferred to another
building at once"
The commander acceded to the
doctors demands and decided to
clear one of the warehouses and
to have the sick taken there. All
the prisoners left at the base were
modified for this work.
Towards evening squads of pris.
onerS began arriving at the base
Their miserable appearance defied
description. They had not eaten
all day and were hungry as wolves,
The familiar wash basins filled
with thin fish soup and porridge
we're brought into the barracks
One wash basin had to do for 10
prisoners.
My work at the base was fin
ished. I had made my "inveStiga-
ton" and had nothing more to
do. Therefore I decided to inspect
the barracks. But the doctor,
whom I met in the yard, stopped
me and advised against it.
"Why take an unnecessary
riSk?" he said. "The lice in the
barracks will Immediately creep
upon you, one bite and you are
done for, and typhuS is no joke.
1 simply cannot understand how
1t is that all of them are not
sick yet. Most Of the prisoners
are barely keeping body and
soul together. They sleep beside
the sick without undressing,
don't wash at all, are underfed
and OverwOrked, and still they
do not catch it. 1t is an astOund-
ing example Of vitality. But I'll
guarantee that when spring
comes the epidemic will spare
no one"
Another squad entered the
gates and came toward us. The
doctors white smock attracted
attention and we were imme-
diately surrounded. Three young
men with pale, haggard faces
begged the doctor to do some.
thing to help their sick friends
in the barracks.

WARS EFFECT
ON STOCKS NIL

NEW YORK, Oct. 4 U.N.S0.
The war is on, but as long as it
remains purely an Ethiopian
italian conflict the effect on busi-
ness and security prices here will
be nil.
Italian investments in American
securities are in the neighborhood
Of $25, 900, ,000-a mere drop in the
bucket. If there are any Ethiopian
investments here, no one ever
heard of them.
Italian trade with the United
States is the smallest in nearly 80
years, and American trade with
Ethiopia is so insignificant that
the Government bulletins carry no
figures on it.
So there should be no repercus-
sions here from a conflict between
italy and Ethiopia. The danger
lies in it's spreading, so that Eng.
land-America'S best customer and
largest investor-will become in
volved in it.
The Washington times., 1935-10-04

The tone Of his voice was SHARP
and confident. There was ne
trace Of the affable geniality hi
had shown that morning.
The doctor lost his temper.
LOOk here, AaronOvich," he
said, you are the commander
Of the base and you are re-
spOnsible for the condition Of
the prisoners. One does not
have to be a doctor in order to
see that the majority Of your
prisoners are sick. The thing
you are doing here is a crime.
The penal camp regulations do
not allow you to send sick men
to work. / shall not permit it.
Perhaps you do not understand
the situation. Please realize
that you are now in the very
thick Of a typhuS epidemic. II
you do not take precautionary
measures at once, all the prison
ers will be sick by next spring.
Can you understand it nOw?"

D. E. BUILDING
PERMITS RISE
3 2PER CENT

Building permits issued here in
August numbered 625, against 472
in the same month Of last year,
a gain of 32.4 per cent, according
to the Monthly Review Of the Fed
eral Reserve Bank Of Richmond.
The estimated value of permits
for the 1885 month amounted to
$1,811, $50, against $1,372,310.
In 81 leading cities OF the Fifth
Reserve district, building permits
were put at 1928, compared with
2,123 permits issued in August,
1884, an increase Of 23.8 per cent,
and estimated valuation figures
totaled $4,570,329, an increase Of
1913 per cent, in comparison with
$3,268.252 in August of last year.
Contracts awarded in August
for construction work in the Fifth
district, including both rural and
urban projects, totaled $23 ,273 ,287,
compared with $12,1l0,714 award
ed in August, 1884, according to
the F. w. Dodge Corporation. OF
the awards in August, this year,
$5,340,632, or 22.9 per cent, was
found to be for residential work,
while last year residential con-
tracts totaled $1,000, 1854, or 14.9
per cent of all awards in August.
Employment increased slightly
in some industries in August and
early September in this district and
maintained previous levels in
others, the banks report shows.
Commercial failures in the Fifth
district in August were put at 80,
compared with 81 in August Of
last year, but liabilities in the
1885 month, totaling $1.431,207,
compared unfavorably with liabili.
ties amounting to $440,675 in Au-
gust, 1884, insolvencieS.

BUT EXPECTS 5
FULL QUOTA
OF WORK
By GEORGE KITCHIN
CHAPTER XVII

The bookkeeper was at first
noncommunicative but after an
hour or so he became more
friendly and confiding. He
told me that conditions at the
base were appalling. In spite
Of their half rations men were
required to do their full assign
ments of work and were not
allowed to return from the
forest until they had finished
them. Men were beaten and
were thrown into the dungeon
at the slightest provocation.
The unheated barracks were
damp, cold and dirty. The sick
slept together with the rest and
the mortality was frightful.
Several men died daily and
were buried naked in a hole in
the ground within a hundred
yards of the base.
80 it is really all quite true,
what we hear about the Pitsky
base" I said.
The truth was really much
worse than the rumors. In de.
spair the prisoners chopped off
their fingers in order to be ex,
cused from work. Scurvy was
common among the underfed
prisoners and still they were
driven out to work in spite of
their swollen bodies and loose
teeth. Another unknown disease
was rampant. Prisoners got large
black spots on their hands and
feet, which would then tester and
rot. Work was continued in the
coolest weather and many of the
prisoners were all filthy and full
Of vermin. They were in such a
state Of fatigue that they often
dropped and died from exhaus
ton. Quite a number folded up''
from cold in the forest.
"The worst off are the men
in the disciplinary squad" con.
tinued the bOOkkeeper. Forty
Of the original 200 have already
died and the rest will follow
them soon II no change Is made.
Yes, we are fulfilling our part
Of the plan, but at what q cost!
At the end Of the season we
shall figure out the number Of
logs produced per capita of the
dead; then we shall know"
Loud shouting came from the
private office. "I'll have you ar
rested for that" thundered Zak,
hariantz. The bookkeeper's face
frightened. will they really send
him away?" he murmured.
From time to time the loud
voice Of Zakhariantz resounded
from the private office followed
by the steady low murmur of
Aaronovich's replies. Three hours
DQSSnd
