Copyright, 1914. by Herbert Corey) Berlin. There are 900-T very miserable men In the camp for "prison ers of war at Doberita. No doubt the conditions under which thty live are forced by a military necessity. Never theless they are very miserable, men. "We would treat them better If we could," said the guard who escorted me. "Hut we cannot. We are doing the best we can." "I am inclined to credit that state ment. Certain things Bhow lor tnem selve..

Some of them have been patched and thatched with torn and discolored bits of canvas. The present camp In but a makeshift, intended to bridge over the time until the winter bar rucks shall be completed. By this time thev may be housed In these per manent nuts. Germany claims to hold 43.1,000 prisoners of war. The housing nd feeding of so great a number must be a tremendous strain Upon resources drained by the necessities of war. Nevertheless these 9000 men at uo- berltx re very miserable men. The chief item in their mil ci ais- content is the monotony. They have nothing absolutely nothing to do. It is true that they are vermin ridden. They have no way of keeping them selves clean. Some of them are not warmly clothed. They could hear with all these things if only they had some thing to do. 'They sing," said the guard, "jney sing 'Tlpperary.' ". "One wouldn't think they wouia ieei like singing," was the comment. "It is something to do," said he. Ai International Scandal. The clair. truth Is that the treat ment of prisoners of war by the fight ing nations Is an international scan dal. England holds prisoners, ana France holds prisoners, and Russia holds prisoners, and so does Germany. Kor some reason no exchange has been arranged. Humanitarian ideas are no part of the war program. One hears of rail ri in niucu iiu numi-ci v.-. There are stories of one Bide or the are 9000 men in the Doberitx camp, elbowing each other, sleeping two In a bed. Not one has had a bath since he was first brought to the camp. It isn't likely that one will have a bath while the war lasts. When winter comes, and they move into the per manent wooden 'barracks which have been provided for them, conditions must grow worse. They ; will be hud died about stoves then., and in the lack of proper clothing will not keep in the open air. Even now "Don't touch anything." said the guard. "You'll get 'em on you." When a man can stand the torture no longer, he is senti to the hospital, There he gets not a bath but a thor ough daubing "With a vermin killing ointment. His clothes are disinfected. He is sent back to be relnhabited. i Some of them do their best to keep a;lean. In the center of the camp is a horse trough, perhaps 50 feet long. intp which water may be turned from a tap. It stands ih the open air. Men who have money ' and can buy soap at the: canteen wash their clothes in this trough. If they are particularly par ticular they strip themselves and take an ice water bath. The fall and winter climate of northern Germany Is very severe. We were shivering in our overcoats. But we saw half a dozen men, naked to the waist, rubbing themselves down with water at the horse trough. "It is too bad," said the guard. "But what can we do? We can't get baths ourselves. Only last week I had to go to the hospital to be daubed." Doberitz prison camp is an hour's ride by motor from Berlin.

' (Copyright, 1914. by Herbert Corey.) Berlin, Dec. 12. Along the railroad lines just outside of Ibbenburen is a large market garden. Next to it is an open field. As the train rolled by, my companion jogged my arm and pointed. "Look." said he. "There is a key hole picture of all Germany." " On the whole field hundreds of young men and boys were drilling. They were at the manual of arms. They were go ing through the gymnastics which are to mako them proficient in killing men. They, were throwing themselves on the ground when the order was given the skirmish line to take cover. Some of them- seemed below the military age. In the market garden a hundred or more young women were straightening up from their work to watch the train go by. Some of them put hands to their tired backs. Some still leaned forward with hands on knees. The more robust forgot for a moment the weeding, or the .hoeing, or whatever toil it was that employed them in that garden, to wave a cheery hand at the passing train. "The men are going to war," said my companion, sombrely. "The women are doing the work." That picture is presented in a score of varying phases throughout the rural sections of north Germany. The sub- -stantial farm cottages, the well tilled fields, seem the background for agri cultural activity. But something is missing. There Is a deadness that de presses. By and by one discovers what it is. The men arfd the horses have been taken for the war. Only the old men and the cripples and the women and children are left. Haltern Is one of the little towns at which we changed cars and were ar rested. In order to evade the coldly accusing e of the railroad porter we walked out. into the country.'
