STETTIN. 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.

Citizens of Roseburg. In com-
memoratlon of that sublime
achievement, in which our boys
participated, let us on this, the
second anniversary of the sign-
Ing of the armistice, on this day
let us rejoice. Let us join witn w
the veterans f that time of
stress, and celebrate this day
which must hereafter rank with
the Fourth of July a the great
day of American achievement.
As vour Mayor. I call upon you
to Join in this day of rejoicing;

tho fields where tho crop Is being

snd demonstrations made. Prof. A.
O. Boquet, of tho Oregon Agricultur
al college, will be present and will
discuss with the growers the various
problems as to strains and methods.
Complete details will be announced
later.
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.
Special Council
Meeting Tomorrow
A. L. Mills and Dr. Loveloy will
arrive In this city tomorrow and
will meet with tho city council In re
gnrd to the proposed tuberculosis
sanitarium at Winchester. A special
meeting of the council has boen call
od by Mayor Hamilton for 7:S0 to
morrow night at wnicn time consio
eratlon will be given those presenting
the subject. Whether or not the city
council will have any Jurisdiction In
the matter Is a question to bo set
tled, but in the event that Ihe water
supply Is endangered. It is very
probable that the "Hy of Itoseburg
will be able to bring legal action
to prevent the erection of the pro
posed hospital.
