Street Lamp Air Markers
Difficult, Young Says

Serious practical difnculties con-
front the plan Of using open-topped
street lamps to spell out the name
Washington over wide area of the
District for the benefit of night
flying pilots and passengers, Engi-
neer Commissioner Gordon r.
Young said yesterday.
One of these, he said In report
to Chairman Randolph of the House
District Committee, q sponsor of
the plan, was that necessary modifi-
cation of street lamps would cost
about 100000.
Other difficulties, he said, were
that the locations Of street lamp
posts do not lend themselves read
lily to spelling out letters; that
because Of the short height Of the
lamp posts their upward beams
would be obscured In many places
by overshadowing trees; that this
could be met only by extensive
cutting" OF trees or provision Of new
and quite tall'' poles, and that street
lighting circuits would have to be
adjusted to serve the new lighting

was able to keep it-and 1t has been
of great assistance to me in the
preparation of this brief history.
We entrucked at Muksaq at 10
p m. on October S, 1914, were taken
to Taihoku, put on train and got
under way at II pm. We were in
that miserable train all night and
until noon the next day, by which
time my sacroilliac trouble was
aggravated to a point where I more
than needed the old light walking
stick which Gen. Macarthur had
given me.
Transferred to Railroad.
Our destination proved TO be the
town of Heito, near the southern
tip OF Formosa. Here we were trans
ferred to narrow-gauge railway
used for hauling sugar cane, for
we were in the midst of the princi-
pal sugar raising district of the
japanese Empire. The train took
us or 10 miles to a thoroughly
vile prisoner-of-war camp. AS we
entered the compound I saw large
group of prisoners, mostly British
but with a number Of Americans
returning from work in. the fields
They were little more than skin and
bone, some of their depleted bodies
bronzed and some Of them horribly
burned by the sun. They were the
very epitome of human bondage
and standing there watching them
drag themselves to their cup OF rice
moved me to helpless tears.
Our group was then loudly Or
dered to line up before the most
savage-looking Jap lieutenant ]
ever saw. We counted OF. and then
were taken to a long, low-roofed
bamboo shack, with sleeping benches
on the dirt floors.
We were given no midday meal
A surly Jap soldier led one of us te
the opening Of the shack to show us
our sanitary arrangements. Outside
was bucket of dirty water fol

them that night as I tried to fine
sleep on the hard bench that wa!
my bed.
We had lost most of the niceties o.
civilized living by this stage of oul
captivity, but few of us were abl'
to stomach the sanitary arrange
ments the Japs provided at thi
camp. One of those who rebelles
against using the filthy tub outsid,

the Englishman resisted.
We could sympathize with him,
after seeing the condition of the
sides of that awful bin.

refused. He was slapped again, and

pledged themselves to endure any
treatment the Japs gave them; they
were determined to live.

formed and marched to the entrance
lof the camp. where the despotic-
looking Jap lieutenant roughly
searched US. We were then given
one of those impossibly puerile
orders which the Japs dote upon
such as our orders at Karenko te
refrain from thinking evil thoughts
of Nippon" Here at Heito the jar
lieutenant now commanded that we
remove all pens and pencils from
our pockets and place them in oul
luggage
They marched us to the narrow
gauge railway again and we wert
taken back to Heito, put in truck!
and moved to its airport. Six jar
transport planes, copies of our CAT
were lined up waiting for us. My
back was so bad by this time thai

into the plane, but I was relieved
to get away from Heito.
