Liberated bv Germany Since Sion

State of Raaaedness and Hunaer,
LONDON, Not. 23. Pliable con
ditioDB among British prisoners of
"war who have been liberated by the
Germans since the signing of the ar
mistice aro described by Router's
correspondent at French headquar
ters. Thousands of these men, most
ly British, are entering France daily.
The correspondent writes:
"I have never seen human beings
in such a state of raggedness, hunger
and misery. When the camp at For
bach, 38 miles east of Men, as well as
those elsovhere, was broken up, the
prisoners, most of whom were cap
tured during the March offensive,
were told to clear out and seek help
from their allies. They started to
walk the fifty or sixty miles to the
allied linos, but were given no food
and had no money. They were In
shameful rags, the soles dropping off
their boots. Some wore cloggs and
no socks.
Many I Me by Wayside.
"They lft the prison camps In
droves of hundreds In charge of Ger
man officers and soldiers who had
deserted. The weather was very
cold and many died by the roadside
"Within a few miles from friends.
When the survivors entered the
French lines, French soldiers who
wore hardened war heroes were hor
rified to see men in such a plight. It
was not doubted that this suffering
waa Intentionally imposed upon the
British prisoners, for other nation
alities aro agreed that British were
treated worse than the other prison
ers at all German camps."
A further report of Sir Robert
Younger'b committee dealing with
the treatment of liritinh prisoners In
the coal and snlt mines of Germany,
gives harrowing details of brutal
treatment by the Germans. This
report says: j
"From testimony scarcely a month!
old. It Is evident that there In no sign '
of Improvement whatever in the
treatment of prbtoners In Germany.
This diRgruco Is open and flagrant
and the only poHslble Inference Is
that Berlin deliberately approves of
It. There Is no doubt that work in
the mines Is Inflicted as punishment.)
Here Is an extract from a letter dat
ed Mny 20, last, from a British pri
vate soldier: I
Look Like Bend Men.
" We have had little to eat sinro
we left Ilametn. Two of our number,
have gone to the hospital with brok
en arms and the remainder are suf
fering from cuts on their heads and
bruises as tho result of floggings
they received at the last place. I
fell In a faint unable to work any
longer last Saturday and the man In
charge, a civilian, kicked me back
into my sonses and kept me down in
the mine IB hours after all my gang
had gone up. If you could only see
the hoys here! They all look like
dead men. They are worked to
death."
To scores of men who have given
evidence concerning the mining
ramps, kicks, blown and insults be
came a part of the normal routine.
It is Impossible to say how many
prisoners lives were sacrificed for
until more evidence is given by men
who have been set freo, tho exact
condition must remain In obscurity.
ARHIANGKL. Oct. 22. (Corres
pond e nee of the Associated Press.)
"Kusin is fast bleeding to death
through n men of terror which is
worse than that of the French revolu
tion, and it is time the nations of the
earth same here to put down one of
the world's urea test evils," President
Nicholas Teehuikovskv of the urovis
i on ft 1 government of the north, told a
corres (ion dent of the Associated
Press today.
"Jt is no longer a question of poli
ties," he continued. "Inside the Uol
sheviki lines the situation is worse
than the Frencu reiira of terror. Vic
tims executed now must be counted bv
tho tenjfof thousands. AH hair split
ting political reasons aside, the world
must know that the Bukhcviks are no
ioncer cwn a partv, but are now
merelv a rom of men determined to
hold what ihev seized bv the merci
less slaughter of those who oppose
them.
"It is now onlv the question of put
ting down an evil. Persons cseaping
from Moscow, Petrograd and Vologda
and reaching here bring indisputable
stories of the executions. The situa
tion seen s hevoml the control of some
Bol.sheviki leaders who themselves
are revolting nt the bloodshed."
President Tsehaikovskv said he
recently cabled to President Wilson
tin: iu g the iimuediute dispatch of
more troops.
"Nothing can bring Itusia out of
this chaox until the BoUheviki tor.
rr has been quashed bv the force ol
anus," said Tsehaikovskv. "The
force now here i unable to do this
quicklv. Meanwhile hundreds are dy
ing dailv.
"The world must understand that
Holshevikism, like imperialism, is a
foe to democracy. It is in Russia a
mere dictator-hip. a group ol men
holding swnv bv force of anus. Thev
seize everv straw, falsifying logic to
iustifv themselves. As an example,
thev now declare that the proposed
Icngue of nations is onlv another
scheme to give power to the bour
geowc against the working men."
"Perhaps the world will niiturnllv
ask what Russia is doing to help her
self." said Tsehaikovskv, "and I can
onlv answer that we are doing our
best. A recent example is the reor
ganization of the Government of the
North. Now everv party and everv
clasM is represented. Forgetting poli
tic. thev are turning their efforts to
ward putting down the Bolheviki evil.
We are initializing our forces, but the
allies must help."
President Tsehaikovskv is a social
