While the Ux bill is aimed at

('n for More if
French Collapse;
Both the White House and the
war department! said, however,
that no request for additional
funds was now contemplated.'
Rep. Snyder (P-Pa), the chair
man of the- bouBe military appro
priations subcommittee, said-he
thought an additional appropri
ation would be. j advisable If the
French army should collapse.
Snyder said that on the basis
of Hitler's past j performances in
Poland, Norway, Holland and Bel
gium, it was felt that if he con
quers France, the next objective
would be England.
"Then the next step would be
toward Braxil," Snyder said.
'Therefore, if we are thinking
in' terms of western hemisphere
defense, we will hare to have an
additional 1, 000,000, 000 as soon
a It appears the drive toward
Paris might succeed."
Defence preparations proceeded
apace during the . day. Develop

(1) Approximately 100 hearlly
;armed attack planes, especially
designed to harass enemy troops
from low altitudes, were ear
marked by the war department for
possible fighting in France, under
the administration's "trade-in" ar
rangement for army and navy
planes. J
( 2 ) Officers of the Inf nation

(3) Plans for Extending federal

(4) The United Spates chamber

Is Dark but Gay
Picadilly Also Resounds
to Laughs of Tommies
Home on Furlough
By EDWIN STOUT
LONDON, June 8.-;P)-Gay old
Piccadilly and Leicester ! square
are .as silent , as Limehottse in
the seemingly dead mysterious
city of wartime London, but be
hlnd the black-out life goes on
in a blaze of lights to the rhythm
of the latest American band mu
sic and the clink of glasses.
Boisterously blotting out to
morrow's grim possibilities, fur
loughed Tommies back ' home
from the bloddy battle of Flan
ders are spending their precious
hours in a variety of indoor and
outdoor amusements.
Despite the strict regulations
necessitated by anti-air raid pre
cautions, it's merely a matter of
knowing which black-painted
dooa to open, which heavy cur
tain to push aside and which cor
ridor turn to take.
Outwardly, however, London
presents an aspect in sharp con
trast to the World war days when
patriotism was expressed in shout
ing, singing, street parades and
recruiting demonstrations w 1 1 h
r brass bands and illuminated
trucks and flags.
Other War Different
Those were days of lavish
spending by- soldiers on1 leave
with a determination to keep the
cabaret footlights as well as the
home, fires burning.
Oscar Adche was appearing
then, in "Chn Chin Chow" which
ran fiv years. Charles Hawtrey
was playing in 'Ambrose Apple
John's Adventure.'' while the fa
mous Sir Herbert Tree packed
houses in the historical drama
"Drake."
With, the German Invasion of
the low countries came the fold
ing ap of numerous London shops,
but not all. Tonight's military
minority seeking that kind of
amusement can find ballet, light
opera, farce, comedy, girl mu
sicals, variety and even heavy
drama. ,
-: It finds the iSfleat-screen stars
Bebe Daniels and Ben Lyon filay
ing in "Haw Haw." and it also
finds revivals of "Chn Chin Chew"
and "White Horse Inn." To cin
ema theatre are still playing
"Con With the Wind."
Afters the show, there are innumerable';-
restaurants with li
cense extensions purveying music
and amusement, and after that
if one knows how there is the
English, variant of night clubs
called "bottle parties."
Just Like America
" Supposedly, you .order the bot
tle or bottles for your after-hours
party during the day time, ao that
it Is "technically" purchased dur

liquor. Actually, It's a procedure

did you get my order this after
noon?" And the waiter, who may
have never even seen the custom
er before, says unwinkingly: "Yes,
sir. At once, sir!"
The great peace-time centers of
amusement lack the old crows,
however, and for every f urloughed
soldier boy in Piccadilly or Les
cester square you find ten in out
lying dance palaces and special
canteen social halls kept up patri
otically where the expense of a lit
tle music is satisfactory and the
volunteer home-girl talent as al
luring. Variety houses (nearer
the girl friends' 'homes) are
packed.
One really has to get into the
suburbs before the blackout comes
to see the bulk of men on leave
who bare suddenly reappeared.

Now they are punting on the

pitchets and tennis courts or mak

Prisoner Fate
Always Tough
Grim Conditions of First
-. World War Recalled i
Some not so Bad
By GEORGE TURNER ,
NEW YORK,, June 8.Py-To
the miseries of war add the un
happy fate of the soldier who is
made a prisoner.
Maany thousands ot prisoners
of war ha to been taken by the
German armies during the blits
krieg in the low countries and
northern France. The Berlin com
muniques do not estimate the
total nutnber.
Little so far has leaked
through the censorship as to
what happens to these fighting
men, once they are taken back of
the lines. They are forgotten men.
Vaguely, the public knows that
the prisoners are Interned in
camps or . put to work for the
duration of the war, unless they
are fortunate enough to be ex
changed.
But, if Conditions today ap
proach those in Germany dnring
the World . war, many ot these
fighters are destined to go
through a living hell. If they sur
vive the physical and mental tor
tures until the end of the con
flict and return to their home
lands, they ' will carry haunting
memories to the rest ot their
days. - i
Examinations of the narratives
of Red Cross, YMCA and similar
agencies during the World war
reveals a shuddering picture of
human suffering.
In fairness to Germany, how
ever, it should be stated that
conditions in a number of intern
ment camps were good. Life waj
tolerable, for instance, in the
great! camps at Gottlngen, in
Hanover, and in Munster, where
the prisoners were treated like
soldiers.
I Some Shocking
But, the official records of
neutral visitors at the camps at
Mannheim, Cassel and other
places show shocking conditions.

At the latter camp. In one-year
(1115)- 3000 French and Russian
soldiers died ot typhus terej
lone, where they had little or
no medical attention.
j The typical German , prison
camp of World war days consisted
ot enclosures surrounded by a
barbed wire fence ten feet high.
In some camps there was another
fence, 76 feat beyond. To be
caught between the fences meant
instant death. . ' .
j ' The hutments, or barracks,
were usually of' wood, one- story
high.' The prisoners were bunked
in tiers. Each prisoner was given
two blankets. Some camps .had
passable stoves for cooking, but
usually there was a lack of. fuel.
Sanitary conditions were poor,. :
When Ambassador Gerard vis
ited the camp at Wittenberg, dur
ing an epidemic of disease, . he
found conditions "frightfuL The
Germans had practically deserted
it. The sick had to take care of
themselves.
1 Of all the hardships, work in
the mines was dreaded the most.
The prisoners were defenseless
against those who had them un
der ground and they were brutally
treated. Thousands were forced to
work in the marshes all day
long, with water up to their
knees.
1 A policy was adopted whereby
working parties were sent out
from the main camps. Some work
ed on farms, in stone quarries, on
highways or in factories. They
lived under guard and there were
many abuses. Sometimes, on the
farms, the prisoners were un
guarded and their treatment de
pended upon the disposition of the
farmer.
I All matt or parcels of food, sent
by relatives or relief agencies
went to the main camp and thus
did not reach the detached prison
ers. 1 Then there were the dreaded
"reprisal camps' in wheih prison
ers were placed in reprisal for
some presumed offense on the part
of : the enemy government. The
prisoners, selected at random,
were perfectly innocent of any of
fense. They suffered many hid
eous forms ot abuse, neutral ob
servers said. -
L Many British prisoners were pat
to work behind the battle lines.
