Undoubtedly the wrst prison camp
. "which I visited m Germany was that
of Wittenberg. "Wittenberg i the an
cient town where Luther lived and
- nailed his thesis to the church door.
The camp wan situated just outside the
ci:y in a very unattractive spot next
to the railway. An outbreak of typhus
fever prevented u& from visiting the-
ft camp, although Mr. Jackson conversed
with some of the prisoners from out- j
sid the barrier of barbed wire. j
When the typhus was finally driven'
out, Mr. Lithgow Osborne visited the j
; camp and his report of conditions there j
. was such that I visited it myself. In ;
the meantime holding up him report
until I had verified it. I
Russian Soldiers Typhus Carriers. j
With Mr. Charles H. Russell, Jr., I
' visited the camp. Typhus fever seems
to be continually present in Russia.
It in carried by tho body louse, and it
ia transmitted from one person to an- '
other. Russian soldiers seem to carry
r this disease with them without appar-
- ently suffering much from it them
selves. The Russian soldiers arriv
ing at Wittenberg were not properly
" disinfected and in consequence typhus
fever broke out in camp.
.Several British medical officers were
I, there with their prisoners, because, by
the provisions of the Ha gue conven-
tions, captured medical officers may be
kept with the troops of their nation. If
prisoners have need of their services.
These medical officers protested with
the camp commander against the herd
ing together of the French and British
prisoners with the Russians, who, as
I have said, were suffering from ty
', ' phus fever. But the camp commander
said, "You will have to know your Al
, lies.' And he kept all of his prisoners
- together, and thus as surely condemned
" to death a number of French and Brit
i ish prisoners of war as though he had
stood them against the wall and or-
dered them shot by a firing squad.
' Conditions of Wittenberg Frightful.
Conditions in the camp during the
period of this epidemic were frightful.
The camp was virtually deserted by
the Germans, and I understand that the
German doctor did not make as many
visits to the camp as the situation
required.
At the time I visited the camp the
typhus epidemic, of course, had been
stamped out. The Germans , employed
a large number of police dogs in this
. .camp, and these dogs not only were
used in watching the outside of the
camp in order to prevent the escape
of prisoners, but were used within the
camp. Many complaints were made to
me by prisoners concerning these dogs,
prisoners stating that men had been
i bitten by the dogs. It seemed un
doubtedly true that the prisoners there
had been knocked about and beaten
r in a terrible manner by their guards,
and one guard went so far as to strike
one of the British medical officers in
, the camp.
Good News Kills One Prisoner. j
There were about 37 civilian pris
" oners in the camp who had been there
all through the typhus epidemic. I se- j
cured the removal of these civilian;
prisoners to the general civilian camp
4 at Ruhleben, and the conditions at Wit-
tenberg may be Judged by the fact that
when it was announced to these civil-
ians that they were to be taken from
. Wittenberg to another camp, one of
them was so excited by the news of re
lease that he fell dead upon the spot.
In talking over conditions at Witten
1 berg with von Jagow I said: "Suppose
I go back to Wittenberg and shoot
ionie of these dogs, what can you do
V to me?" Soon after the dogs dlsap-
peared from the camp.
Food of Prison- r
The food in all tliotit; camps xor clvil-
- ians and for private soldiers was about
the same. It consisted of an allowance
of bread of about the same weight as
that given the civilian population. This
was given out in the morning with a
cup of something call" coffee, but
which In reality was an extract of
acorns or something of the kind, with-
; out milk or sugar; in the middle of the
day a bowl of thick soup in which the
quantity of meat was gradually dimin
ished as war went on. as well as the
amount of potatoes, for which at a
later period turnips and carrots were,
to a large extent, substituted; and in
the evening, in good camps, there was
pome sort of thick soup given out, or
an apple, or an almost infinitesimal
piece of cheese or sausage.
i In the War Department at Berlin
' there was a prisoners- -r-o r depart-
, ment in charge of Coionei, inter Gen
eral, Friedrieh. This department, how
ever, did not seem to be in a position
to issue orders to the corps command-
' ers commanding the army corps dis
. trlcts of Germany, who had absolute
control of the prison camps within their
districts. Colonel Friedrieh and his as
sistants, however, endeavored ttf stand
ardize th t.ricc; of prisoners of
war in the different corps districts, and
Vere able to exert a certain amount of
pressure on the corps commanders.
t Vhey determined on the general re
;prisals to be taken in connection with
prisoners of war.
r-"rieJricb Itaa System of Reprisals
For instance, when some of the Ger
mans who had been taken prisoners by
the English and who were in Kngland,
( were ent oy the English to work in
i th.e harbor of Havre, the Germans re
; laliated by sending about four times
the number of Knglish prisoners to
i work at Libau. in the part of Russia
"then occupied by the Germans. But
while the Knglish permitted our em
' bassy in Paris to inspect the. prisoners
of war at Havre, the Germans for
months refused to allow me permission
1 to send anyone to inspect those British
prisoners at Libau.
) Cases came to my attention where
individual corps commanders on their
own initiative directed punitive meas
ures against the prisoners of war in
; their districts, on account of the rumors
of bad treatment of German citizens in
' England. Thus the commander in the
. district where the camp of T3oeberiti
was situated issued an order directing
reprisals against prisoners under his
command on account of what he
, claimed to be the bad treatment of Ger-
man women in Kngland. It required
constant vigilance to seek out instances
- of this kind and cause them to be rem-
edied.
! 1 did not find the Germans at ail effi
cient in the handling of prisoners of
war. The authority was so divided
that It was hard to find who was re
sponsible for any given bad conditions.
For instance, for a long period of time
I contended with the German authori
ties for better living conditions at the
civilian camp of Ruhleben. I was
promised time and again by Colonel
Friedrieh, by the camp commander and
by the Foreign Office that those con
ditions would . be remedied. In that
camp men of education, men in delicate
health, were compelled to sleep and
live six in a box stall, or so closely that
the beds touched each other in hay
lofts, the outside walls of which were
only four feet high.
Finally, almost in despair, I wrote
identical personal letters, after having
exhausted all ordinary diplomatic
steps, to General von Kessel, comman
der of the Mark of Brandenburg, to the
commander of the corps district in
which the Ruhleben camp was situated,
and to the Minister of War. the only
result -was that each of the officers ad
dressed claimed that he had been per
sonally insulted by me, because I bad
presumed to call his attention to the
inhuman conditions under which the
prisoners were compelled to live in the
Ruhleben camp.
Prisoners Elect Captains.
The commander of this civilian camp
was a very handsome old gentleman,
named Count Schwerin. His second in
command for a long tirrm was a Baron
Taube. Both of these officers had been
long retired from the army and were
given these prison commands at the
commencement of the war. Both of
them were naturally kind hearted, but
curiously sensitive, and not always of
even temper. On the whole, I think
that they sympathized with the pris
oners and did their best to obtain a
bettering of the conditions of their
confinement. The prisoners organized
themselves in their - various barracks,
each barrack having a captain, the
captains electing one of their number
as a camp captain or "obmann."
The man who f ina! ly appeared as
head man of the camp was an ex-cinematograph
proprietor named Powell.
In my mind he, assisted by Beaumont
and other captains, conducted the af
fairs of the camp given the difficulty
of dealing with the prisoners on one
hand and the prison authorities on the
other hand as. well as possible. Nat
urally, he was always subject to op
position from many prisoners, among:
whom those of aristocratic tendencies
objected to being under the control of
one. not of the highest caste in Kng
land, and there were others who either
envied him his authority or desired his
place. The camp authorities allowed
Powell to visit the Embassy at least
once a week; in that way I was en
abled to keep In direct touch with the
camp. At two periods during my stay
in Berlin I spent enough days at the
camp to enable every prisoner who had
a complaint of any kind to personally
present it to me.
The organization- of this camp was
quite extraordinary. I found it im
possible to get Knglish prisoners to
perform the ordinary work of cleaning
up the camp, etc., always expected of
prisoners themselves, and so, with the
funds furnished me from the British
government, the camp captain was com
pelled to pay a number of the poorer
prisoners to perform this work. Secre
taries Ruddick and Kirk, of our em
bassy, performed the uninteresting and
arduous work of superintending these
payments as well as our other financial
affairs. This work was most trying.
and -they deserve great credit for their
seii-aeniai.
Additions to the Camp Diet.
By arrangement with the British gov
ernment. I was also enabled to pay the
poorer prisoners an allowance of five
marks a week, thus permitting them to
buy little luxuries and necessities and
extra food at the camp canteen which
was early established in the camp. I
also furnished the capital to the camp
canteen, enabling it to make its pur
chases and carry on its business. In
this establishment everything could be
purchased which, was - purchasable in
Germany, and, for months after the
commencement of the war, articles of
luxury were sold at a profit and articles
of food sold at a loss for the benefit of
those who required an addition to the
camp diet.
There was a street in the camp of
little barracks or booths whLch the
prisoners christened Bond street, and
wnere many stores were in operation,
such as a tailor shop, shoemaker
watchmaker, and so on. Acting with
fowell, l succeeded in getting the Ger
man authorities to turn over the kitch
ens to the prisoners. Four of the pris
oners who did most excellent elf
denying work in these kitchens deserve
to be specially mentioned. They were
Ernest L.. Fyke, Herbert Kastner, Rich
ard H. Carrad and George Ferguson.
The men in this camp subsisted to a
great extent upon the packages of food
sent to them from Kngland. Credit
must be given to the German authori
ties for the fairly prompt and efficient
delivery of the packages of food sent
from Kngland, Denmark and Switzer
land to prisoners of war in all camps.

WAB TUX BILL TWO
THIRDS COMPLETED
Senate Eliminations of Manu
facturers' Gross Sales
Taxes Cause Clash.
REPORT LIKELY THURSDAY
Conferees Ievote fuch Time to Dis
cussing If Proceedings Arc to
. . Be Public and Then De
cide Upon Secrecy
"WASHINGTON, Sept. 15. Conferees
on the war tax bill clashed today over
Senate eliminations from the measure
of the manufacturers gross sales taxes
and others, totaling about J70.000.000,
and a compromise by which half this
amount will be raised from these
sources finally resulted.
House con ferees, led by Democratic
Leader Kitchin. declined to agree to
the Senate proposal to strike out the
5 per cent manufacturers' tax provided
in the House bill. The compromise
agreement is understood to have re
stored a tax of somewhat less than
this amount on musical instruments
and jewelry and reviMon of the auto
mobile tax sections, with increases of
2 per cent on the gross sales taxes of
patent medicines, cosmetics, perfumery
and other toilet articles is probable.
On other Senate changes the con
ferees did not fare so well. The amuse
ment "tax, reduced by the Senate from
$60,000,000 to $19,000,000 aroused much
discussion and a final vote on it proba
bly will not be reached for several
days.
Bill Two-Thirds Considered.
Approximately two-thirds o the bill
had been disposed of when adjourn
ment was taken tonight, and it was
expected that a report would be ready
next Thursday for presentation to both
houses. The excess profits tax and
postal rates sections will be the last
considered.
Nnexpected objection to the' tobacco
tax section which promises to delay
final agreement suddenly appeared to
day. Mr. Kitchin is understood to op
pose the proposed Senate increase in
the tobacco tax from $25,000,000 to
530.O00.000. He was of the opinion
when the bill passed the House that
tobacco was taxed to the limit.
Sections covered today included auto
mobiles and motorcycles, tires and
tubes, musical instruments, motion pic
ture films, jewelry, sporting goods,
yachts and pleasure boats, perfumes
and cosmetics, proprietary medicines,
chewing gum, cameras, amusements,
club dues, stamp taxes and parcel post
packages.
Senate Cnta 944,000,000.
The total taxes for these articles
picposed by the House were $143,000,
00. and the Senate lowered them to
$99,000,000. Forecasts are that half
this reduction will be restored.
Much of today's session was devot
ed to discussing whether the public
should be informed of the proceedings
of the conference in which Mr. Kitch
in led again a successful fight in lavor
of publicity. Publication of results of
yesterday's conference was pointed to
by some conferees as proof that It was
impossible to keep the deliberations
secret, but finally the pledge of
secrecy was renewed and several mem
bers threatened to urge official inves
tigation of further publication of the
proceedings. Desire to keep lobbyists
away from the conferees is the rea
son given for opposition to publicity.

the exhibits are to be placed is owned
by the school children of Columbia
County, through whose efforts it was
built and paid for.
Although the farming season has
been a backward one, the fair directors
have the assurance that creditable dis
