Stockho!m, Sweden, August 31.— The American consulate-general at Moscow which has, since the begin- ning of the war, been delegated by the German government to handle German civil prisoners in Russia, is now making a determined effort to re- turn these priscners to Germany so that they may not suffer the hardships of another winter in the interior of Russia. Although these prisoners have not been the victims of actual cruelty on the part of the Russian officials, their condition has been in- describably wretched. Hundreds of them have died from cold, starvation and disease. ; A recent order issued by Prince Usupoff, the governor of Moscow, stated explicitly that every German or Austrian of non-slavic origin regard- less of age, state of health, or any mitigating circumstances whatso- ever, must leave Moscow before Aug- ust 14, either for Germany or for one of the interior governments which have been chosen for the interment of civil prisoners and which already harbor over a hundred thousand men women and children. Order Meant Death. This order meant certain death for scores of Moscow residents whose physical condition was such that even a short journey under the best condi- tions would have been dangerous. John Snodgrass the American consul general, who had made a special study of these cases appealed to the governor of Moscow for discrimina- tion in the execution of the order of expulsion, but popular feeling has run so high against the German and Aus- trian subjects in Russia that it was stated that exceptions could not be made. An Ameri¢an correspondent sitting in the offices of the consul general watched the stream of for- eign subjects who were suddenly confronted with expulsion from the country which they had learned to consider their own. Most of them, although German or Austrian sub- Jjects had lived so long in Russia that they were thoroughly Russian in their sympathies and some of the women had been devoting their time in sewing and making clothing for Russian soldiers. For a large percen- tage of them a return to Germany where all their associations had long been broken or a seclusion in the in- terior of Russia ‘were alternatives of- fering an equally dismal prospect. Crowded in Cattle Cars. Except in extreme cases, serious illness and infirmity do not interfere with the deporting of the patient. Crowded into trains commonly used for cattle, almost without food, scantily clad and in various condi- tions of disease and despair, these miserable persons are subjected to a railway journey which lasts for days, and in a great many cases are forced to march overland for sixty or sev- enty miles from the railroad station to the camp where they are to be in- terned. The sanitary conditions on these traing are vile and there is every possibility for the spread of the dis- ease. There is no assistance for the sick and there is no protection against infection for those who are well. On the march from the railroad to the camp, large numbers have frozen to death along the way. The lot of these people.is one which it would be difficult to exaggerate. Mr. Snodgrass is at present trying to convince the governors of the var- ious provinces that their co-operation is necessary, unless the condition of German civil prisoners in Russia is to becowne a national scandal. WAS SOLE SURVIVOR OF ALGERIAN WAR Bugler Rolland Passes Away—Blew Charge Which Won Battle Though ‘Wounded And a Prisoner. Paris, Sept. 16, 5:10 a. m.—The death is announced of Bugler Rolland sole survivor of those who took part in the Battle of Sidi Brahim in 1845, in the French war of subjugation in Algeria, He was ninety-five years old and was decorated a few years ago with the medal of the Legion of Honor. President Poincare attended a dinner given in his honor on Feb. 22, 1914, in this city. During the battle of Sidi Brahim, while wounded and a prisoner, Bug- ler Rolland was ordered by Abd-El- Kader, the Arabian. chief, to sound the retreat at a critical stage of the battle in order to deceive the French troops. Withont an instant’s hesita- tion he sounded the charge. In the clash which followed the French won the day. FOR POLISH RELIEF. Americans to Contribute Two Millions For War Sufferers. Chicago, Sept. 16.—A fund of $2,- 000,000 is to be raised in America for the war sufferers in Poland, ac- cording to plans announced by the Polish central relief committee. Dr. B. F. Froncak, health commissioner of Buffalo, N. Y., is general chairman of the committee. A tax of one cent a month on every member of Polish-American organi- zations co-operating with the relief cammittee, was suggested as a means for raising the fund. The commit- tee announced that $500,000 had been contributed to Poland within the last year, Count Von Bernstorff, the German ambassador, has been exerting all of his diplomatic skill in an attempt to satisfy the United States on the latest submarine issue and thereby to make possible the continuation of diploma- tic relations between Washington and Berlin. Secretary Lansing and Count Von Berhstorft declined to didcuss the Cetails of the CanEl"enCeF which have bcen carried on at the 'state depart- ment. After one of these conferences the ambassador sent a long message to Berlin, telling of the conference and intimating to the foreign office that its note on the Arabic was al- tcgether unsatisfactory to the United States. Count Von Bernstorff also advised his foreign office that the GANADIANS LIVE IN PIONEER HUTS Life of Colonials at Front Resem- bles That of Indians (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) Paris, Sept. 3.—"The”life of the Canadians at the front takes one back to the tales of the North American Indian which were the delight of writes Maurice Barres,, who is on the our youth,” the French Academician, a visit to the fighting lines as guest of the Frauch staff. “This week,” he explains, I saw the huts of the Canadians, built of trees sawed lengthwise, exactly like the log cabins which they build for. hunting boxes or the log houses they inhabit sometimes in the prairies north of the Great Lakes. “A survival of the old Indian ro- mance is found 1n the Canadian army, Trappers in khaki were shown me who make use of the thousand tricks of their trade against the encmy. They hunt him with the wiliness of the old scalp hunters, toned down by English humanity. Invaluable Spies, “Following in the wake of Germans crawling across the corn fields, the Canadian manages to creep along without causing a single leaf to move. They remain for hours on the watch, lying on their backs and studying the ground around them by means of a little mirror. Should the Germans, reassured by the long silence over the still fields, venture out, he is pounc- ed upon, bound with rope in a couple of seconds: The other day after a series of such fruitful expliots, the Canadian scouts threw over into the German {renches a number of little cards inscribed: ‘It is useless for you to send out any more patrols; you have Canadians in front of your.’ “I know, of course, that among these volunteers there are many mo- dern Canadians, business men, pro- fessional men, workmen. All are not sons of trappers or backwoods- men. But it is a fact that they have more initiative raore ingenuity and more enterprise than European sol- diers. And to 'cok at them, what tenacity there is in their expression. Conceal Tent, “In a huge open-air depot, T was examining their military transport vans, all marked with the maple leaf, * when my eyes fell on a little tent cov- ered with weird stripes and figures in green paint. ‘“ ‘What is that,’ I asked. ‘A Canadian officers’s tents.’ “ ‘But those green signs? “ ‘Oh, nothing’ The background has merely been arranged so that, from above, it will seem to form part of the meadows and woods.’ “But I had recognized, amid the scription. All TUnited :States is altogether serious.in the Arabic case, and that unless satis- factory amends are made Without further delay President Wilson's retience will become exhausted. Be- fore seeing Ambassador Von Bern- siorff Secretary Lansing consulted with President Wilson for nearly an | hour. An indication of the close at- tention the president is giving the foreign situation and the gravity with which he regards it was given, when, !in declining an invitation to deliver | an address the latter part of the month, he said: “We are all hoping BE EXAMINED ON | Week's Campaign Planned for We hidve had so many inquirfes latel regarding Eczema and other skin dis: eases, that we are glad to make ou Shewer public.
