GERMANS COMPLAIN
PRISONERS SUFFER
n-
Reichstag Notes With Indigna
tion That "Cases of Bru
' tality Are Proved."
RUSSIA CHIEFLY ACCUSED
tSritlsh Camps "Declared Bad and
French Are Charged With Vio
lating Laws of Nations by
Interning Residents.
BERLIN. Nov. 3. fBy wireless to
Bayville. N. Y.) The Reichstag today
discussed the treatment of war prison
ers. Prince "Von Sc.hroenaich, of the
National Liberal party, says the Over
seas News Agency, made a report on
the proceedings of the committee which
considered that question, as follows:
"With great sadness and profound
Indignation the committee took notice
of the great sufferings of Germans
made prisoners. This is especially true
of Russia, where numerous cases of
brutal treatment have been proved:
and also in British camps, from which
nr numerous comrjlaints. Prisoners
are often forced to worlc -under degrad
ing conditions. Frequently they must
toil in 40 degrees of cold or under a
burning sun, and often physical bru
tality is added to this. The food In
many places is most scanty, deficient
and badly prepared."
Pope's Efforts Commended.
Prince von Schoenaich acknowledged
the kind exertions of the Holy See to
Improve the fate of the prisoners, con
tinues the news agency. Mathias Erz
. berger, leader of the clerical center, ex
pressed thanks to the Pope and popu
lation of Switzerland for humane actions
toward war prisoners.
The whole House agreed, says the
agency, when It was stated that beyond
any doubt Germans would be glad if
their countrymen made prisoner were
treated everywhere as well as war
prisoners in Germany.
Joseph Emmel. a Socialist member
from Alsace, said the French govern
ment had failed to execute loyally Its
agreement for the release of hostages
from Alsace and that the action of
the German government in demonstrat
ing in retaliation by sending 200 French
women and men of representative fami
lies from occupied French districts to
Germany was therefore Justified.
Genimm Interned In France.
Herr Bruckhoff, a Radical member,
said that Germans who were staying in
France at the outbreak of the war all
were interned and that this was abso
lutely in violation of the law of na
tions. He added:
The rutuation of our countrymen
made prisoner in foreign lands is bad.
I recall only the treatment of our brave
submarine crews in England and the
conditions in French camps, some of
which are horrible. Great Indignation
was aroused because our countrymen
made prisoner were sent to Northern
Africa, and directly in the tropical dis
tricts. The treatment of those In tropl
cal camps, especially, was incredible.
The German government deserves high
praise for the aid which its uninter
rupted exertions has given them. The
worst camps now are evacuated.
Conditions Worse in Russia.
"Still worse conditions prevail In
Russia, especially in Siberia, where the
food is absolutely insufficient, where
prisoners lack even clothing and where
the sanitary organization is pitiful."
Herr von Boehm, a Conservative
member, says the Overseas News
Agency, stated that a while ago de
fenseless German war prisoners were
shot by French under command of
French officers.
Major-General Friedrich, said, ac
cording to the news agency, that the
German authorities gladly would close
the camp where British civil prisoners
are interned and would release them
all, provided England would accept the
German proposal and exchange all civil
prisoners.
shot through the stomach during
firing and died later. The train c
ductor was also shot."
Manuel Frieto. former Mayor of
Juarez, and a delegate to the consti
tutional convention, -vas a passenger
on the train and was about to be
ecuted when Silvestre Quevedo. one of
the Villa commanders, claimed that
Frieto was a relative of his and saved
his life, another passenger stated.
Torreon is now isolated, according to
a report received here by Government
agents late today from semi-official
sources in Juarez. The railroad is re
ported to have been cut between Jim
inez and Torreon and also south and
east of the Coahuila metropolis.
From the source it was reported that
Villa captured a large number of Car
ranza prisoners in Santa Rosalia when
he occupied that town last Friday. The
entire Santa Rosalia garrison , is said
to have Joined the Villa bandits and
also 200 men captured from General
Fortunato Maycotte's Carranza com
mand, which had been sent south from
Chihuahua City.
VlUUtaa Cut Off Enemies' Ears.
Villa bandits again are cutting the
ears from captured Carranza soldiers
and sending them back, to their com
mands as a warning to other Carranza
soldiers, said a Mexican civilian refu
gee who reached here today from Jimi
nez. Chihuahua. He came to El Paso
by way of Torreon, Coachila, and from
there to Eagle Pass. Tex., as the Mexi
can Central Railroad was cut between
Jlminez and Chihuahua City.
He said he had seen 16 Carranza
soldiers at Jiminez with their ears
severed from the heads. He said the
sight was revolting, as the ears had
been cut off with military sabers and,
in many instances, the skin of the face
had been mutilated, the wounds had
become infected, and the soldiers were
suffering great agony. .

BAB FOR 3 MEASURES
SKGLE ITEM VETO, SHIP EXE.MP
TION AND SUFFRAGE FAVORED.
Pendleton Normal Ajiiong Thoc That
Fail to Gain Indorsement and
Single Tax Is Attacked.
The passage of the "single item veto"
amendment, the "ship tax exemption"
amendment and the "negro and mulatto
suffrage" amendment, three of the
measures to be submitted to the voters
at the election Tuesday, was recom
mended by the Multnomah County Bar
Association at its regular session last
night.
The association went on record as
opposed to the passage of the "full
rental value land tax and home makers'
loan fund" amendment, the "for PendleT
ton Normal School and ratifying loca
tion of certain existing institutions
amendment, the anti-compulsory vac
cination" bill, and the "state-wide tax
and indebtedness limitation' amend
ment.
The organization declined to take any
action on a bill "repealing and abolish
Ing the Sunday closing law," the amend
ment "permitting manufacture and
regulating the sale of 4 per cent malt
liquors," the amendment "forbidding
the importation of Intoxicating liquors
for beverage purposes" and the "rural
credits amendment."
The action taken was recommended
by Richard W. Montague, Thomas G,
Greene. Earl C. Bronaugh. Martin L.
Pipes and "W. T. Slater.
Of the full rental land tax amend
ment the committee says the measure
Is confiscatory, unjust and unworkable.
The principal objection made by the
committee against the amendment for
the Pendleton normal was declared to
fee based upon the "faulty and ob
jectionable manner In which the pro
posed bill is framed."

Reuters Atnens correspondent says
the Greek government has sent rein

Katerlna. The correspondent adds that
Admiral Du Fournet, commander of the
allied fleet in the Mediterranean, has
sent notice to the Greek harbor au
thorities indicating a danger zone for
vessels entering or leaving Piraeus
harbor.
'Certain circles in Athens," the cor
respondent continues, "interpret this
notice as meaning that Admiral Du
Fournet has hitherto neglected to in
form the Greek authorities of the pre
cautionary measures taken, such as the
laying of mines, and it is even Insin
uated that the Greek steamers Anghe-
ikl and Kiki Issaias, which were sunk
recently, struck mines laid by the en
tente allies."
Royal Letters Seised.
Special dispatches from Athens give
details of the alleged arrest at Larissa
of a German officer, who was pro

Its five-day practice march. Last night,
while the battery was at El Centro. an
earthquake rattled the pictures on the
walls, causing consternation in every
Imperial Valley Dome.- The shock dis
turbed the soldiers on guard duty at
the camp, and caused those who were
the guests of the El Centro Chamber of
Commerce at the movies to think
mother earth was learning to tango.
It stirred things up for a moment or
wo. The earthquake hit the valley be
tween 9:30 and 10 o'clock, but beyond
rattling the windows and Jolting dishes
nd the pictures on the walls, no dam
age was done.
The second day a march was made In
faster time than the march to El
Centro. The distance, 11.2 miles, be
tween El Centro and Holtvllle. was
made in two hours and 45 minutes,
counting in the 30 minutes given to
the three halts.
Tonight the battery is camped in the
heart of Holtvllle. and all day the camp
has been filled with visitors. The town
of Holtvllle tonight is turned over to
the Oregon batterymen, and In addition

are regarded as moderate. In view of
the fact that the British casualty lists
admit losses of 372,000 to the end of
September. The writer says that each
square mile of territory recovered cost
the allies more than 6000 men.
That the original purpose was to get
through, the writer says. Is shown by
the prodigious scale of the preparation
and the huge masses of cavalry held
in readiness to begin the pursuit
through the broker German lineV The
writer contends that the contention of
the entente allies that the plan of the
offensive was not to breach the German
lines, but merely to relieve the pressure
elsewhere by holding fast a large par
of the German forces is only an after
thought Invented to cover the evident
failure of the offensive to reach its ob

Details are not given.
The statement, issued with the sanc
tion of Attorney-General Gregory,
gives warning that conspiracies to in
timidate voters will be promptly prose,
cuted. It is the department's first ofr
ficlal announcement that actual cases'
of fraud have been developed by Its
investigators.
"Among other provisions of law."
says the statement, "section 19 of the
penal code makes it an offense against
the United States for two or more per
sons to conspire to intimidate any citl
xen in the free exercise or enjoyment
of any right or privilege secured to
him by the Constitution and laws of
the L'nited Slates or to punish him for
having exercised such right and the
courts have held that one of the rights
so secured Is the right to vote for Fed
eral officers and to have their votes
fairly counted, and the result correct
ly returned. Conspiracies to intimi
date voters In the free exercise of the
right to vote for Federal officers are
violations of Federal law. Such a con
spiracy need not be consummated and
even an overt act is not essential, nor
Is intimidation confined to acts of
physical violence. The development of
such conditions will result in prompt
prosecutions.
"L'nited Slates District Attorneys and
Investigators have been instructed to
be fair and nonpartisan in investiga
tions and prosecutions.
"Information received by the Depart
ment of Justice shows that within the
last three months approximately 60,000
negroes have been transported from
certain Southern states to Northern and
estern states, mainly to Middle West
ern states, particularly Ohio. Indiana
and Illinois. Investigation has devel
oped the fact that a number of thes
negroes have legistered in violation of
the laws of the states to which they
have gone and have expressed the in
tention of voting In those states.
"Some Information has been devel
oped Indicting plans In different
slates to violate the Federal statutes
with reference to elections In other
ways, such as registration of non
naturalized citizens; false registration
by padding the registration lists with
fictitious names wuh the Intention of
having persons falsely represent them
selves to be the persons whose names
appear on the list and vote under those
names: what are commonly known as
"repeaters'; false counts and returns by
election boards: entering on the poJl
books as having voted fictitious per
sons or persons who have failed to
