S CAUSE OF THREAT
AMSTERDAM, Nov. 30. In re
sponse to a threat by the British arm
istice commissioner that hostilities
would be resumed unless the condi
tion under which prisoners were ar
rlvng n the ailed lines were remedied,
a Berlin telegram declares that every
thing Is being done by Germany to
assure the orderly return of prisoners.
The German response lds that the
regular transport of retunlng prison
ers now is assured.
Prisoners released from prison
camp In Germany have reached the
allied line in poor physical condition,
showing and telling of the brutaltes
practiced by their Hun guards.
An American soldier related the
discovery of an amputated finger tn
soup Berved to the prisoner and of
the guard's treatment of the Incident
as a great joke.
At the Limburg camp many pris
oners mysteriously disappeared and
the place became known as the '"Camp
ot Mystery." The Americans received
ther Red Cross packages about once
a month, whsn they should have re
ceived them weekly. Much of the food
served them was not edible.
The prisoners have been forced to
find their own way to the allied lines,
alt of them poorly clad. Many died by
the roadsides while trying to reach
the allied armies" after their release
from the prison camps.
The twenty-five young veterans of
the battle ot Soisson. Chateau-Tierry
and the Somme, recently returning to
the United State from over-seas, and
on November 20th arriving at Letter-
, man General hospital at the Presidio,
San Francisco, are to be remembered
by some of the people of Oregon City,
this week. Two large boxes contain
ing smokes, pipes, chocolate and gum
were sent to the injured soldiers Wed
nesday, and will reach their destina
tion Friday. The purchase were made
from a number of saving banks that
were placed In the business houses by
several young women of this city.
These young women made the selec
tion of the gift, and carefully packed
them, and in each box postal cards of
Oregon City were enclosed. A note
was also placed in each box saying it
was a gift from the people of Oregon
City.
The boxes were sent in care of Cor
porals John R. Dickson and Roger
O'Mera, of Portland; and Private Fred
Schmidt, of Salem; whose names ap
peared in a recent issue of the Morning
Oregonian, where the Information was
seen red of the arrival of the injured
men.
Another box was sent to a naval hos
pital at Brooklyn, N. T for injured
men brought to that institution, this
was sent in care of Joseph Miller, son
of Mr. and Mr. Jacob Miller, of this
city. Miller Is a well known Oregon
City boy, and has been In the naval
hospital in training since enlisting. He
was for some time at Mare Island be
fore being transferred to the hospital
In New York. He will see that the
boys will get their share. This box,
like those sent to the Injured men at
the Pesidio, contained articles that will
be appreciated by the boy recovering
from injuries.
Plans are being made to send more
such boxes during Christmas .week or
previous to Christmas,
