j vll'.'v ''Ofleers and sailors of the
Russian navy, prisoners in German),"
i says the Overseas News Agency,
have been brought into a reprisal
*' camp beeauw for more than a year
German naval officers and sailors in
| Siberia have been treated as common
t criminals.
1 "The Russians," the news agency,
'i says, "will b« treated exactly as are
I the Gorman prisoners in Russia, un
| til Russia decides to treat the Ger-
mans as sailors who did their duty
for their country.
The Russian actions are said to
have been caused by the friendly ad
vice of England, which declared that
the Germans were not regular sailors
but pirates. All diplomatic negotla
tlons were without result. The Rus-
sian general staff even pretended
that proved facts were untrue and
this caused the German government
to adopt counter-measures."
Germany Sent Protest
The German government, accord
lng to the Overseas News Agency,
had addressed a 'vigorous protest to
the Russian government "against the
barbarous treatment of prisoners of
war. and asked for an immediate ces
Nation thereof. It was announced
that If no satisfactory answer was re-
ceived after a fixed date reprisals
would be taken by the German gov-
ernment.
A considerable amount of money,
the news agency says, has been trans-
mitted to the powers protecting Oer
man interests in Petrograd in order
to alleviate the sufferings of the
prisoners.
The Norddeutsche Allgenieine Eel
tung, under the heading, "Hell in Rus-
sia," prints sensational details of the
illeged tortures suffered by war pris-
oners at the hands of the Russian
authorities.
This newspaper cites a number or
instances In which it charges the
Russians abused prisoners, eompell
ing them to work long hours without
sufficient food or clothing. In the
winter, with the temperature ."0 de-
crees below zero, It is said, prison-
nrs. Including the sick, were compell-
ed to work in the open when bare
footed and dressed in rags until arms
and legs were frozen.
Thousands Die of Disease
Rheumatism, typhoid, tuberculosis
and other diseases, this account con-
tinues, have caused the death of
thousands of prisoners an"H medica?
aid is entirely insufficient. At Vr
gum, 8,000 prisoners are reported to
have died of typhoid.
Many prisoners, the newspaper
says, became insane. One Instance
is cited of 2." 0 insane prisoners who,
the Norddeutsche Allgenieine Zeitung
says, were flogged and driven into a
room large enough for only 100, con-
taining no bedding, after which the
doors and windows were boarded.
"They were left there twenty-six
hours without food or water." the
account goes on "when the room was
opened, many of the prisoners fainted
and the others were whipped. -Sic*
prisoners have been transported in
cattle cars to hospitals, where they
roceive such poor attention that, ac-
cording to reports of physicians, the
death rate was 00 per cent.
"The punishment of prisoners is so
barbarous that some Russian soldiers
have refused to carry them out. Th:
commander of the Moscow dlstri t,
SaiVletmejki, issued a public .order
prohibiting humane treatment of pris-
oners. especially officers, and in con-
sequence prisoners wore slowly tor-
tured to death."

about in the modes of travel during
the -ist half a century were brought
to mind recently when Mr and Mrs

bought a new Jeffrey car and drove it
on a 12-hour journey to a town in
Wisconsin. About 45 years ago Mr
Mueller's parents made the same trip,

dreary weeks in a prairie schooner.
