Germany, Oct. 9. Every contingent of German war prisoners arriving here from Russia contains a number of ragged, un shaven, haggard men who have been made Insane by suffering during many months in Russian prison camps. In three weeks the German gov ernment sent 200 of these men to insane asylums and sanitariums for treatment. A few have spells of violence and during these periods must be kept under guard, but the majority present a listless, woe begone aspect. They look about with dull, unseeing eyes, or sit quietly weeping, unconscious of the fact that they are home again. The families and friends of the Insane soldiers are allowed to greet them and to give them food and clothes before tbey are sent away foe treatment. Nearly all the prisoners exhibit an intense bitterness not only toward Russia but toward the German gov ernment as well. One of them, who had lost a leg and an arm and who, it was learned, had been taken pris oner early In the war and has been confined in many Russian prison camps, Bhook his fist at the Gorman tlag when he arrived and cursed his country, Mb people, and all other countries and peoples. "To with Germany!" he shouted. "That is not my flag and Germany Is not my fatherland." He then turned to the other pris oners and pointing to his wounds said: "This is what Germany has done to me. This is what a kindly father land has permitted. Why didn't they exchange me? Because I have only one leg and one arm? I lost them fighting for Germany and all the thanks I've had for It were the rot ten years in a Russian prison." The prisoners generally agreed they had been unable to procure proper medical treatment in the Rus sian camps, and that their food had been very bad. At the close of the war there were 2S0.OOO war and civil prisoners in Russia, and 255.000 Russians In Germany. The German government estimates that not more than 5000 Germans will remain In Russian camps this winter. Before the Russo-l'ollsh hostilities began the Russians were being re turned rapidly, but it Is now esti mated at least 200.000 Russians are still in German camps. 60,000 of whom are the troops interned when they crossed the East Prussian fron tier during the Polish offensive. The German government has ex pended 30.000.000 marks for trans portation of Russians home, and 90.- Mayor's Armistice Day Proclamation Up to the moment when the clock struck the hour of 11 on the morning of November 11th, 1918, the world was in the midst of the bloodiest war of history. On a doxen war-red fronts civilisation was locked In a death struggle with the malign forces which wero en- deavoring IU overthrow. But a few months previous, the forces of the god of Might were in- umphaut, were In lull, un- checked march on to victory. That march was not chocked un- til, as a last desperate hope, a few boys In khaki from that heretofore despired nation that was "too proud to fight," were thrown into the fast closing gap between the Hun forces and Paris. To the unbounded amazement of the world, to the everlasting glory of America, the boys In khaki stood fast. held until their comrades from overseas could come In. When the American forces held at Chateau Thierry the foes of clvilliatlon were doomed. There followed the Alsne, St. Mihiel. San Quern In, the Argonne, Sedan. And then, when the hour of 11 was reached on November 11, 1918. the guns were stilled. nivlllzation. through the valor ot American manhood on land and sea, was triumphant. Citizens of Roseburg.

With the closing of Ihe pwl opened the last two weeks of Oc tober, the Oregon Growers Co-operative association announces a total membership of 1654, with a total acreage of 28,000. During the two weeks the pool was open especially for prune men, 90 new members were received, -bring ing In more than 1000 acres. As most of the orchards are heavy pro ducers, this will add fully 2.000,000 pounds a year to normal years. In a report Just issued, the asso ciation announces that up to October sales for the three previous months amounted to 3564,676 21, and this Included only a tew ship ments of fall pears and applea. By watching the auction market In the east, the f. o. b. market and at tho same time keeping the canneries supplied, the sales department of the association was able to sell on a strong market, and to prevent at any time an over-stocked market. Already the association has shipped more than 600 cara of fresh fruit, In cluding berries, plums, early pears and applea, up to the time of the Oc tober statement. It Is estimated that before the aeason closes the addition al sales of apples will amount to more than 600 cars. Loganberries are becoming one of the big crops of the valley, according to the report. The total sales by the Oregon Growers the past season amounted to $137,230.09. Plums, which are not regarded seriously as money makers, brought to members of the association this year 12142.70, which to an extent was pick-up money. One variety sold for 33.60 a bushel. Dried cherries valued at HJ.4S0 have been sold and shipped by the association, every dollar of which would have been lost on account of the unusual rains during the picking season. The Oregon Growers, at the critical time, took these cracked cherries, dried and prepared them for shipment, and' marketed them for 113.450. Both white and black cherries were sold this season by the associa tion for 13 centa a pound, and this Is also a matter of record that no other growers association tn the ttate secured for Its members such a favorable price. The total amount of cherries -marketed by the Oregon Growers, ac cording to tho October 7 statement, was for this season the sum of 3118.666.12. The Royal Anne easily led with sales ot $93,015.97, while tho Lambert and Blng pool brought In $24,068.83. With sales already running more than half a million dollars up to Oc tober 7 this season, and also taking Into consideration favorable price-i rwlved, from all reports there la a feeling of satisfaction and confidence among the members of the association.
