"In September I arrived at one of
the camps where the very worst
samples of modern barbarism occurred.
We saw 27 Serbian soldiers and in
ternal civilians flogged by the order
of a Lieutenant- They were flogged
before a Bulgarian battalion because
three of their comrades had escaped;
their flesh looked like raw meat.
Throughout the Winter there was no
fire in the barracks and many died of
cold. In January typhns broke out and
the camp was still more crowded with

With the removal of milling' re
strictions by the Food Administration
the price of millfeed is going to ad
vance. Millers are not decided yet what
the new prices- will be, but the advance
will probably amount to $10 a ton. In
the Middle Western markets the rise
has been greater, Minneapolis millers
quoting an advance of 118 a ton.
By raising feed prices to that extent
the millers of Minneapolis are enabled
to make a sharp reduction in flour
prices to the Government. The mills In
the Pacific Northwest. In order to get.
their share of Government flour busi
ness and thereby provide a sufficient
amount of millfeed for consumers here,
declare they must raise feed quota
tions so they can name flour prices at
tractive to the Government buyers.
If the Government does not take a
large quantity of flour here it will
mean an- acute shortage of millfeed,
with prices probably higher even than
those contemplated.
A small reduction in family flour
prices will be made, and patents will
again be manufactured by millers as
before the war.
CASE IS SET
NATION RESORTS TO COURTS TO
CONTROI CABLE IJNES.
Government Is Accused of Falling
to Provide Proper Compensation
in Taking Over Property.
NEW YORK. Dec 21. The Govern
ment resorted to the Federal Court here
today to bring about a dismissal of the
Injunction proceedings begun by the
Commercial Cable Company and the
Commercial Pacific Cable Company
against Postmaster-General Burleson
and Newcomb Carlton, to prevent Gov
ernment ownership of the cables owned
by these companies.
Harold Harper, an assistant Federal
attorney, filed a motion attacking the
jurisdiction of the court because the
cables were taken over by President
Wilson in furtherance of the war power
conferred on him by Congress.
Argument on Mr. Harper's motion
was .set for December 27. '
The charge that the seizure of the
cables for the National security and
defense was a mere pretext without
substance or basis of fact, whatsoever,
Mr. Harper maintained, was an allega
tion of bad faith on the part of the
President and should be eliminated as
"scandalous."
Contentionof the cable companies
that they are not provided with just
compensation, the Government replied,
is manifestly unfounded in that Con
gress has provided for Just compesation
and for the executive and Judicial de
termination thereof without recourse
to the courts.
The Government also argued that
allegations concerning the purposes
and intent of Mr. Burleson as to the
method of operating the cable lines
and Its validity under the anti-trust
act are "insufficient" in specifying any
proposed unlawful act. Moreover, the
Government asserted the allegations
concerning the landing of complainants'
cables on territories of foreign nations
and the complications likely to arise
therefrom have no relation to the
validity-of the possession of the cables.
