Bluffton Youth Held
Nearly Four Months
By Germans
CONTINUED from page u

where the nightmare of always being
hungry was to continue. The camp
was located atop a mountain about
two miles from the health-resort
town.
Fortunately pleasant weather pre-
vailed on Christmas Day, when the
prisoners had to march two miles up
the mountainside to the prison camp.
There they received their first food
after being put in the box cars, but
it was insufficient, consisting only of
thick slice of bread, and bowl of
grass soup made of sugar beet tops
with some slices of potatoes and few
bits of meat. No one was sure what
kind of meat it was. 1t might have
been beef, but more than likely it was
horse or dog meat.
Two To A Bunk
After eating, the men were assign
ed to their barracks, which had built
in hunks, three tiers high. A total
of 325 men were assigned to the build
ing in which Stonehill was a prisoner,
and the men were so crowded two men
had to use each bunk. There were
$500 men in the camp, none of whom
were officers.
Barb wire was strung around the
camp grounds, and guards with rifles
were stationed in towers around the
enclosure. At night, searchlights were
swept over the grounds at intervals
to prevent any escape attempts.
In the prison camp the days rou-
tine started at a. m. when an err
satz coffe was served. Stonehill drank
water instead, preferring it to the
imitation coffe. The water, he said,
was good. W
At 1890 a. m. the prisoners receiv-
ed bowl of the grass soup; and the
final serving of the day was slice
of bread and a cup of weak tea at
$3.50 p. m. Stonehill preferred water
to the tea.
Prisoners were locked in their bar
racks for the night at 6 p. m. without
lights of any kind. Each barracks,
however had a wood burning stove and
the men could keep fairly warm. To
provide wood for the stoves, details
of prisoners under heavy guard were
sent to the nearby forests to cut wood
every day. In order to have the bar
racks warm at night, the entire sup
ply allocated for one day was saved
until after the prisoners were locked
in at o'clock.

NEW YORK., Oct. Is Up
New York's waterfront strike
which has delayed the return o!
thousands of veterans from Eu'

day.
Violence flared near several
piers yesterday. Ship owners and
union leaders said enough mer

gotiations, but a spokesman fol-
insurgent stevedores insisted the
strike would continue.
Although police estimated
that 8,400 longshoremen return
ed to work, William E. Warren,
insurgent leader. said there were
fewer Legitimate longshore-
men" at work than the previous
day.
Warren, who Is seeking to Dust
Joseph P. Ryan, $50, 000-a-year
lifetime president Of the Inter
national Longshoremen's Asso-
citation (AFL), said the strike
was "as solid as when 1t started
10 days ago.
Ryan brought strike-break-
ers into the piers in trucks"
said Warren, who is supported
by the CLIO National Maritime
Union, and by Harry Bridges,
west coast longshoreman leader.
'None of them are longshore-
men,"

Except for about rs natives who
refused to leave their homes, MUS
tang island had been evacuated
before the storm and its fleet OF
fishing boats had been moved TO

station at Port Arkansas had life
boats ready in case the gulf swept
over the island as 1t did during
the disastrous 1919 hurricane.
A few miles away on the main

Pass and Port Arkansas were cut
off from outside communications.
A short.wave radio at Arkansas Pass

Rangers failed during the night.
Ninety five per cent Of the big
cotton crop had been gathered In
Nueces county and in adjoining
San Patricio county 20 per cent
of the crop had been harvested.
