BOUMAN PAPENBURG, Germany, Sept. 27.—Geermany is using convict labor on a $20,000,000 scheme of land reclaiming, in magnitude approach- ing the draining of the Pontine marshes by Mussolini. The moor and fenland area in question is situated on the lower reaches of the river Ems in north- western Germany. It is about 125,000 acres in extent, compared with 187,500 acres of the Italian project. The idea originated with Hanns Kerrl, Prussian minister of justice, whose department has just issued details of the scheme. Farm and Forest Plan On the reclaimed land, 2300 farmer families will be settled, and part of it will be reserved for re- forestation - purposes. Germany’s prisons will supply the labor. The plan is to establish 21 labor camps, each accommodating 1,000 convicts. Much is expected from the rich peat layers in the area, from which, it is said, enough electricity can be generated to supply the whole reich for 8 or 10 years. The' peat deposits hereabouts are 10 feet thick. Forced Labor Needed The whole work is calculated to occupy at least 12 years. A question why the nazi govern- ment's “voluntary labor” organiza- tion is not employed for this™ big scheme was answered in the minis- terial statement by the explanation that an undertaking of such mag- nitude could be carried out only by forced labor under strict and permanent control. — —.,e - VISITING MOTHER Mrs. Marie Caro arrived in Ju= rieau Saturday from Seattle and is visiting her mother, Mrs. Edward Anderson. nexty SCHOOLBOY GREETS ‘EDNA, HONEY’ A hug and a big kiss greeted “Edna, Hon when “Schoolboy” Rowe of the Detroit Tigers met his fiances, Edna Skinner of Eldorado, Ark., in a Detroit railroad station.
