Zoanne, Central France, Nov: 13. —'“Achtung,” was the German com- mand of attention given by a German sergeant-major, in trim German uni- form, to 1,600 German soldiers, all in their gray-green uniform with red-edged caps, range in long ranks twenty deep along the great court- yard of the barracks of Roanne. The sharp and gutteral German command sounded strangely in this French set- ting. with French officers recelving difrerential salutes and giving direc- tions, and French soldiers in their vivid red-blue unifoarms standing at shoulder-arms at all the exits. 200,000 Captives. These long lines of German sol- diers were typical of the scores of German prison encampments center- ing at this little town of Roanne, and radiating from here to the Spanish frontier and over to the French col- onies in Africa—in all some 200,000 | German prisagers gathered up from Champagne and all along the line— maneuvering under German officers in the prison courtyards, working the farm, running the steam thrashing machines, binding hay in bundles for “French artillery and cavalry horses, and helping supply France with its sustenance for the army and the people, Mihing Coal- Here at Roanne, toq, is the center of another form of German industry on French soil, with thousands of German-Polish soldiers doing the same work they did in the coal mines of Poland, digging the coal from the rich deposits of Central France, off- setting the loss of the French coal flelds of Pas-de-Calais in the north- east which have passed into the hands of the invaders. The Associated Press was given the opportunity to see a large number of these German encampments, and typical scenes of the soldiers doing agricultural and mining work, the party arranged by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and under the escort of French army officers Iieut. Brunet and Lieut Garcin. In the courtyard of the Roanne bar- racks the Germans had been drawn up to give the visitors a typical instance of their appearance. They looked rather slouchy until the word of com- mand was giver; their uniforms were staned and dirty, showing the results of life in the trenches: they were ir- regular in height, big hearted Bavar- ians and short stocky men. Bring them to attention, and have them take three steps forward, turn, and three steps backward,” said the French commandant. Orders From Chaos. The- direction was. interpreted to the German sergeant-major, and then rang out his Achtung.” The effect was electrical on these soiled an- slouchy ranks. They sprang into even lines, every head straight and shoulders back, transformed from an irregular mass into perfectly al- ligned platoons which would have done credit to a parade ground. Then, as the command of three steps waus glven in German, the long lines of heavy wooden sabots came up into the German goose-step, and fairly crashed back and forth over the stone pavement. In an instant the goose- step and the crashing sabots stoppcd and the lines were rigid. It was lit- tle short of sensational, this galvan- izing of a whole regiment of muad- stained men into a body fairly vi- trating with energy and force, and automatic military precision. Six hundred of these men had re- cently been captured in the French advance in Champagne, but they were mingled indiscriminately with the others. One large dormitory, how- ever, was given over chiefly to Cham- pagne prisoners. This, like the rest of the rooms, were scrupulously clean and in good condition, with mattres- ses and blankets for each man, rooms for shower baths, and the equip- ment of a well-ordered barracks. The same place had been used before for French soldiers, and the Germans were getting practically the same accomodations. In the dining-hall, besides the regular menu printed in German, was a list of ‘“extras” on the bulletin-board, which could be bought—butter, tea, cheese, soap, cigars, tobacco and other luxuries at the current French prices. Efficient Workers. Tt was the work these men were doing, however, which was of chief interest. Nearby was a large es- tablishment where the Grmans were seen at work. The great warehousec was fairly alive with these workmen, their uniform put aside for a rough- working-blouse. Big wheels were turning and hydraulic presses were turning out bales of tightly-pressed hay ready for shipping.

Germans were on top of a flat-car ranging the bales in place, and scores of others were working the machinery and passing the product through the various processes up to the shipment. At the Ilittle town of Aubler a dozen Germans in blouses were run- ning a stream thrashing machine. The grain was falling in a steady stream as the Germans passed the sheaves from the storehouse and ran it through the machine. Others were running the steam engine steadying the movement of the long shafts lead- ing to the thrasher. This was typi- cal of the thrashing of the wheat yield, now going on all over France, Germans being scattered through all the little farming centers doing the heavy work of the ma- chines. Mail Arrives. At Montefacon 1,100 Germans were ir the courtyard of a substantial building formerly used as a convent. It was their hour of leisure, and they stood about in groups like athletes on a big sporting fleld. The French mail wagon had just arrived bringing the letters and packages coming within the regulations. can send two letters a month and a postal card weekly, the letters being of four pages, 16 linés to the paxc, dealing only with health conditions and personal affairs, but not of the war. There is the same facility for incoming mail, and the men were eagerly awaiting the parcales and let- ters. German Poles were seen in large numbers at one of the village en- campments. They were not as sturdy a set as the men from western and stouthern Germany: irregular of build and many small men. were well along to recovery fram wounds, but still had bandaged heads | or arms. One Pole had the whole side of his jaw slashed off by a saber stroke, but the wound had healed and he stood among his fellows with his narrow face tapering down to an acute paint. Two young German Poles stepped forward and showed the Polish spirit underlying German dom- ination, by reciting the evils of Ger- man rule. They spoke simply and carnestly, maintaining that the Poles fared much worse under German rule than they Aid under Russia. “Do all your companions here share this view,” boys, The soldiers Some | was asked of the Polish i “Not all, but a large number of them do,” was the reply. One of the important Polish camps visited was near 8t. Ettiene, the heart of the coal region of Central France, where the Polish miners— recently serving in the German ranks | —are bringing up the stores of an- thracite and bituminous coal. It is the chief dependence of France, for fuel and industrial energy, now that the northern coal fields have changed hands. All around were the gaping mouths of the coal-pits. with the ma- chinery for raising, and long lines of dump-cars carrying off the coal on improvised sidetracks to the main lines. Prisoners Paid- It was late in the day when the visit was made, and the Polish miners had come to the surface and were now crowding forward in hundreds to receive their pay. “What, are German paid?” was asked. “Yes, and they make good wages, about one franc and sixty centimes a day (32 cents)” was the reply, ‘As the Polish miners pressed up for their money they were paid by a typical French accountant, withsa big safe and rows of tin money-cases be- side him. The men had on their mining clothes, blackened and stained, but through the grime stoad out the fact that they were German soldiers, LIVER TROUBLE Dull pains in the back, often under the shoulder blades, poor digestion, heartburn, flatulency, sour risings, pain or uncasiness after eating, yellow skin, mean liver trouble—and you should take SCHENCKS MANDRAKE PILLS They correct all tendency to liver trouble, relieve the most stubborn cases, and give strength and tone to liver, stomach and bowels.

Occasionally some question is raised about this payment of wages to German prisoners.
