The World in ReUier
War Prisoners---Codes, Orders
BY MAI GEN. DAVID PRESCOTT BARROWS
and Former Of Of Eorma

Military Authority California

WITH thousands of prisoners surrendered
into Allied hands in Tunisia, questions
arise as TO what can be done with these men,
what is the method Of treating them, provid-
ing against their being an embarrassment to
the fighting forces.
At various times and particularly in the
first decade of this century, notable efforts
were made TO introduce humane and decent
standards for the care of prisoners. The Sec
ond Hague conference of 1907, made a laud-
able, but not entirely successful attempt, TO
codify the laws of war, and special place
was given in this code to treatment of pris-
oners of war. and the obligations of those
who hold them. 1t is impossible to believe,
however, that in this present war, treatment
of prisoners has been altogether humane or
credtable. We know there have been in
stances, and we have suffered them, of brutal
and unfeeling ferocity.
II is perhaps impossible TO make general
statements that would be true at the present
time but what we can do and it is our first
responsibility anyhow is TO examine our own
usage. and the orders of the President and war
department, designed TO make our practice
sound, decent, worthy of imitation, and to
insure that there be no deterioration in our
standards
4 MEXICAN armies are governed for the
conduct of field operations, by a very
famous official action. II is known as Gen
eral Orders No. administrations for the gov
eminent of armies of the United States in the
field"
1t was promulgated in 1863 by Abraham
Lincoln 1t was compiled and prepared by
an American citizen and scholar of German
birth, DR.. Francis Lieber, the author of sew
eral works, one of political ethics.
This general order is still in effect bind
ing upon every officer and man in our forces,
but additional provisions recommended by
The Hague conference have been incorporated
into the pattern of these orders and are like
wise binding by direction of the President
and the secretary Of war
There are 157 articles in General Orders
No. 100 and articles 80 to 81 and 70 to so
deal particularly with prisoners Of war and
the treatment they should receive.
In 1880 the institute of international law
meeting in Oxford, England, also adopted a
manual of the law Of wars on land and the
custody of prisoners. So did the conference
at Brussels In 1874 in considering the rules
OF warfare. A convention was CONCLUDED at
Geneva in 1864 for the "amelioration Of the
condition of the wounded in war" which was
acceded TO by the United States in 1882, and
was also acceded to by Japan.
In 1900 the secretary Of the navy with the
approval Of the President, published a naval
war code the Laws and Usages of War at
Sea- known general orders of the navy

" that organization Of the un-

CURRAN pretends that such

international law of particular interest -
naval warfare, such as right of search -
sea, "contraband" and blockade" but there
are also paragraphs enjoining humane treat
ment to the personnel of armed forces on
armed vessels of the enemy.
THE idea of there being a special code for
soldiers and sailors is not novel and 1t is
not unreasonable. Those in military service
in war or in peace, live under a severe code
that regulates their behavior and carries
we're sanctions, including the penalty Of death.
This code is known as the articles of war;
The American code goes back to the Revolu-
ton and to British statutory provisions before
the Revolution, and in this case is an enact
ment of Congress.
Just as there is a national statute that
imposes upon soldier standards of obedience,
decorum and fidelity in the discharge of duty
which has no validity over others than those
in the services, there is a body of practice
pertaining TO war prisoners and not necessa-
rily applicable TO prisoners Of civilian status
II is permissible to feel that the soldier
even though a defeated enemy, is entitled to
special protection, to respect even though a
captive, and TO safeguards against the wound
ing Of his dignity or the insulting of his pro-
fession.
The best general principle for the treat
ment of prisoners Of war is that they should
be given, as nearly as practicable in captivity
the same regime as a country's own troops.
That is, they should be issued the same ration
Of food; they should have the same medical
care; the same prompt attention to injuries
and sickness; the same grade Of hosptaliza-
ton and the same safeguards of sanitation;
that they should also have adequate shell
in salubrious localities and surroundin -

INVARIABLY, officers are separated from

German noncomissoned officers and sol

Then Peace VIII Come
tBy Nellie A. Smith)

The only living thing in sight
AS | sit at my window here,
Are the birds who come for their
feeding
Bluebird, and starting, and spar
rows dear
On a nearby tree, with its branches
bare,
Are gathered the birds by the
dozens,
Only ujst waiting to snatch the
food
Away from brothers or cousins.
In spite of ourselves, we smile at
them,
AS we watch each laughable
antic.
And then we think with a heart
sick sigh
Of our brothers across the At
lantic.
How like to the birds are the ma
tiOns there,
Watching each other with eager
eyes
Coveting others their possessions,
And fiercely fighting to win the
prize.
AS we who sit in our sheltered
homes
What are we doing to make war
cease?
What are we doing to ease the
burdens?
To bring these nations together
in Peace?
Give us such Love for all mankind
That we may live-each for the
other
Till hate may die-and love sur
vive-
And we consider every man our
brother
Then Peace will come.

This is assured through issuance
of the OPA pricing rules that re-

V-MaI Safest
More than $4,000 individual V
mail letters from American sol
diers in England to relatives and
friends in the L. S. were destroyed
when a Canada-bound RAF plane
crashed in Newfoundland. The
original letters were reproduced
at the Army postal services V-mail
station in England and dispatched
by a later plane for the L. S. This
incident shows the value of V-mail
over ordinary letters.
Farmers Get Gas for Six Months
Farmers may obtain gasoline for
their tractors, engines and other
non-highway equipment for per-
iOd of six months instead of three
months under a change in ratiOning
regulations announced by the OPA.
The change is being made be-
cause of the variability of farming
operations which frequently make
it difficult for farmers TO estimate
their requirements for only a three
month period 1t will also save
the farmers time.
Size Of Armed Forces
President Roosevelt said the
goal Of 100000 men in the Z. S.
Army by the end of 1943 was de
cided on last August, has never
been changed and will not be
changed. The goal for 1914, he
said, will probably be decided this
fall This years army goal also
calls for 100000 officers, which
would make a total of S,200,000 men
in the army. Adding the goals set
for the other armed services, the
grand total of all our armed forces
by the end of 1943 would be almost
100000.
Outlaw denomination Sales"
Sales of used wheel tractors,
combines, corn pickers, corn bind
ers, or power-operated hay balers
in combination with other used
farm equipment or commodities
have been prohibited by the OPA.
Numerous complaints have been
received that the combination

force farmers to pay exorbitant

cooperating to make additional
supplies of soybean seed available
for planting the 1943 crop. Sup
