EIGHT / AUSTRIA SEEKS T0 EXCEL HUN IN OUTRAGES Treatment of Italian Prisoners Has No Parallel for Sheer Brutality SENT HOME WHEN DYING ‘Washington, D. C., May 13.—Italian prisoners in Austria are subjected to horrible outrages, a despatch from Rome today says: “Never in the history of the civil- ized world have such outrages been registered,” it says “the whole thing seems to be a systematic effort on the part of Austria to destroy the manhood of Italy. Austria is endeavoring in (every possible way, Jo s@rpass in cruelty and ferocity of her accom- plices.” The despatch says Italian prisoners have been stripped and left without food or care if wounded. Most of them die of hunger and plague. Tuberculosis is raging, and thousands of consumptives fill the con- centration camps. When their condi- tion becomes desperate the prisoners are returned to Italy in exchange for Austrian prisoners, whose conditions in Italian camps have improved. In the last 300 prisoners sent back to Italy from Austria all. were suffering from tuberculosis in a very advanced stage. HAGAN SPEAKS OF POSSIBILITY OF EMER EMERGENCY | Ordinarily Labor Supply Would Suffice, But We Cannot Take Chances WOULD BUILD UP RESERVE} “Under any ordinary conditio nof affairs, with the crops in Kansas, Ne- braska, Iowa, South Dakota and Min- nesota ripening norm. , th should eulty in North ture and Labor John IN. Hagan today. “If, however, through any abnormal conditions such as un- usually rapid growth or early hot winds, the crops in this state should ripen prematurely, before the harvest has been completed in states to the south of us, then we would have a real emergency on our hands, and we would need every able-bodied man in North Dakota who could do a day’s work in the field. “It is for this reason that we are doing everything within our power to encourage the organization of a farm labor reserve as planned by the North Dakota Council of Defense. We are grateful for the assistance’ pledged by the North Dakota bankers’ asso. ciation, and we are confident that the bankers will be glad to cooperate with the state council, for, as 1 pointed out . to the bankers in discussing this mat- ter with them recently, we must co- ordinate our efforts, adopt a plan, and all work in concert to work it out successfully. As ,! understand the council of defense plan, whfch is urged by the nationa] administration, it contemplates the appointment in each county of a farmer chairman, who will name a committee of three, to include a banker, a merchant and a farmer, which in turn will name sub- committees in each town and village. These sub-committees will attend to the actual work of enrolling or sign- ing up a farm labor reserve. We may never need this reserve, or any large proportion of it at least, but is highly important that we have it available should there come an emergency in which the loss of a few days’ time may mean the ruin of millions of bushels of grain. If abnormal con- ditions which have obtained up to this time continue, our crops will ripen far ahead of the usual time, and in that case, unless the same conditions prevail to the south of us, and their crops are already harvested, we shall need a big army of North Dakota men to save the crops.” Liberty Motors to Equip Allie Allied Planes Washington, , May 15. — American built Liberty motors may reach the fighting lines in France driving French and BritiSh scout airplanes. It wa learned last night that urgent request from the allied governments for earl delivery of the American engines have been received and are being met. Ship- ments have already been made to Great Britain and there are intima- tions General Pershing approves di- verting additional motors to meet the French and British requirements, even if further delay to production of Am- erican scouts results. The British government it is said, after careful investigation of the en- gine by an expert sent over for that purpose, has been pressing steadily for thousands of motors to be deliv ered for use in British machines. + The French experts, at first some what doubtful of the motor are now | asking for and will receive engine: by July 1. To support their view that the day: of delays in aircraft production are over officials point to the fact that last month saw Liberties delivered in hundreds. The output far as known here, was greater than that of any foreign motor with the possible exception of one 130 horse- power type used-in France. No high power motor, approaching the Liber- ity 450 figure, was within sight of the ‘American output. It was to reach that end in quantity produgtion it was declared that the Liberty was de- signed. There were several developments today in the aircraft situation. John D. Ryan director general of produe- tion for the army and chairman of the aircraft board, made his first directing move by announcing the apointment of Archer A. Landon, vice president of the American Radiator Company of Buffalo, New York to have charge of the production division. a BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE | Out of the eee a ah HH 7) ag ae Contribute By the REV.

Poling is a red-blooded American: | he knows men—and likes them. He's ja man’s man, and they like him, too. But he isn’t blind to their frailities. He has been studying moral problems in this country too long to be fooled by surface signs. Poling is associate president and good citizenshi intendent of the United States of Christian Endeavor. He went to the front with the privi-| lege of seeing everything that to be seen; he visited every hospital— and comes back with the report thae THERE IS LOSS VENEREAL DIS- EASE AMONG OUR SOLDIERS THAN ONE FINDS AMONG CIVIL- TANS IN PEACE-TIME. General | Pershing has laid down rigid rules on the subject of vice. Any man ‘ociating with immorat women is liable to a court-martial. If he confesses to such action he is treated by a physician, but he fs still subject to the sevcrest discipline, and if he becomes diseased, he expects lit- tle mercy, all of which has tended to make even the most reckless men mighty careful of their conduct. Charges that our men have become immoral since they went to France are bitterly resented by the soldiers —and rightfully so. It would be fool- ish.to say that the million men in the new American army are all saints. But for every man spoiled by army life ten men have been helped to higher ideals.
