100 MUGH SOUP,
Y PRISONERS
INWAR CAMP
English Complain Most and Rus
sians Least, According to Ger
< -
man Military Authorities. -
(By International News Service.)
AMSTERDAM, Dec. s.—Of all the
war prisoners in Germany the most
complaints come from the English
and the fewest from the Russians, ac
cording to the German military au
thorities,
Here are some of the complaints
that were listed with the command
ant of the detention camp at Witten
berg, wher ethere are about 20,000
prisoners, a number of them being
British officers and privates:
Officers compelled to keep windows
closed at night by roommates of other
nationalities,
Too much soup on bill of fare.
Insufficiency of clothing,
Guards overbearing,
Police dogs used by guards tha:
frequently claw clothing of prisoners.
List of articles sold at canteen loo‘
small and prices too high. o
The old fortress of Wulzburg, Ba
varia, which is being used as a pris
on camp, was put to the same use in
1870. Most of the prisoners are Rus
sians.
Russians Seem Satisfied. ’
Some of the British prisoners have |
complained of the sanitary arrange-[
ments, but the Russian captives, most |
of whom were peasants before uxe'
war, are satisfied with their lot.
It is interesting to note that among
the prisoners at Wulzburg is a
French officer who was a prisoner in
the same prison during the Franco-
Prussian War.
There-are nearly 50 British prison
ers of war at Nuremberg.
There are ahout the same number
of British prisoners at Halle.
German officers who examined the
detention camps for the Prussian War
Office declared that conditions were
favorable everywhere; that the men
had plenty of wholesome food: thetl
sanitary conditions were good, ani
clothing abundant. w
One of the chief points made by the
Germans is the good bathing facili
ties furnished for the prisoners. TPhe
guardsg declare these facilities are
nsed ;onsiderably by the French and
British, but that the Russians are re
luctant about washing and having
their ciothing sterilized.
Many Sick Serbs Arrive.
During the past few weeks Serbian
prisoners have been making their ap
pearance in large numbers. Many of
them are sick, half famished, badly
clothed and suffering from lice and
scurvy. The British have objected
strenuously against being lodged with
the Serbs,
Three meals are served daily at
every camp. Every morning there is
soup, but the captives get coffee only
three times a week. At noon there i
a stew of meat and vegetables. In
the evening theer is sausage or fish
and potatoes. ‘Black or “war bread”
Is all the prisoners get except when
white bread, rolls or biscuits are sent
them by post from England, France or
Russia.
Following are the usual articles on
sale at prison camp canteens:
Apples, ‘sardines, boullion cubes,
raspberry syrup, “soft” drinks, lump
sugar and sausages.

BABY BOLLINGER
By Harry J. Haiselden, M. D. :
Copyright, 1815, by Harry J. Haidelden.) :
In the seventh chapter of Dr. Haiselden's thrilling book wyou recall
e told of what he termed blunders of his youth when he operated to scve
the life of a defective girl, which was not only a burden to herself but to
her awell-to-do relatives. The doctor's theories as a result of what he
termed were his youthful blunders formed a highly interesting piece of
reading. Read more to-day in the beginning of a new chapter. He 148
writing more interestingly each day, as he plunges deeper into his
slrange subject.
CHAPTER VIII. |
Il am (rying to explain to you how
it was that on one fine bright winter
day-—a day when all life and eveiry
thing living seemed wonderfully beau
tiful—l condemned to death a little
child because it was not as other chil- ‘
dren are. 1 explained that it was not |
& passing fancy, not a burst of hatred |
for a gick liitle bit of humanity, not a
sudden impuise to take a step into the
unkuown legions, that 1 decided to let
this ilitle tuing go its way without
any interfecrence trom me. I want Lo
inake it very clear that | did 5o as the
resuit of a vast experience which|
gave me wisdom to gee what I had not
s€en before—that .t 1s better for Lnose
cnly haif alive to die completely.
Do you recall “The Old Mah of the
Mountains,” who in the old frightful
taie of the nursery would leap upon
the backs of passing men and ride '
them savagely until they fell dead
with horror and exhaustion. That is
the way the curse of the defectives
rides tnose who are its victimns,
Obiivien Then Surcease.
It rides them s@vagely and it rides
Yhem long. Mmany times tney would
like nothing better than to !ie down
by the roaaside and let utter oblivion
tome to bring them surcease. But the
curge plies the heel and the spur
¢rives them along the stony road. And
Death always waits at the end of the
road—a welcome, but too belated
(riend.
in later chapters of this book I wlill
iet you hear the evidence straight
irom the mouths of those who are
thus cursed. You will hear them beg
me to give them a little bit of mercy
-——and Death is the form in which they
wish it. You will hear them crying
bitter maledictions upon those men
Who prevented them from dying in
their cradles.
But now bear with me a while and |
I will let my experience tell you whyl
I have done what I have done.
T have already told you of the heed
less crimes of my youth, when 1 let
my love of surgery drive me reckless
ly on where older and wiser men hes- ‘
ltated to tread.
Now 1 shall tell you of my first re
beliion—how I incurred the sharpest
and bitterest criticism of my career. ;
It was a boy they brought to me—
fiftcenn years ago. le was bullet
i'eaded, ard his expression was that
of the lowest of the heasts. If | ever
ioubied the Darwinian theory, I
cased to do so when 1 beheld thia
son of kind and gentie parents. It was
a throwback to the darkest jungie
davs. And I was told by his horror
stricken relatives that the behavior of
this boy on all occasions was as bad
68 that of the most bestial creatures
of the jungie. Ile looked like an ape,
and he was an ape.
Performs Simple Operation.
1 had gove forward in my theories
since the incidents of the last chap
ter, and 1 was prepared to strike my
first blow In defense of my new po
sition.
I performed a simple operation
iron that boy that would forever bhar
him from producing more of his kind
in this warld. 1 did so. of course, with
the full consent of the parents, who
had been rendered desperate by his
beastlike actions.
Several years later that boy was
taken to the asylum at Eigin. There
the boy was examined and my action
was discovered. The associate head
of the institution Aung the bitterest
criticisms at me for what 1 had done.
And yet what I had really done was
to take i sane precaution. My con
science has never given me a single
parng for what 1 did to that ape-child.
1 should like to know how it is that

children, and men of my profession
are weli-nigh erucified when they see
a beast far more dangerous among
their fellow men and have the ='nreme
courage to adopt the sole means of
robbing it of its danger. Why is this?
There are plenty of sad cases where
the taint of imbecility or abnormality
is acquired—particularly so in city
life where every day children are
born lacking in capacity to perform
the ordinary functions of life—so
many of them that !t seems to me a

Ing and preserving of those already
hopelessly blighted.
A young girl who was struck down
by a street car was brought to me
after several weeiks, She had already
been saved frem death by the sur
geon's skill. It was her mental con
dition that was troubling those near
and dear to her now. The heavy blow I
upon her head had wrecked her mind.
Her whole nature was cnanged. From
a sweet and winsome creature she
had been transformed by the shock
into a sneering ugly-natured individ
ual, speaking always in 'a sarcastio, |
vitriolic way that was slowiy break- |
ing the hearts of those who loved her. l
A staff of experts decided that it |
would not be best to onerate. It.w asl
possible to save her mind. they de
cided, but such an operation might
result fatally. Therefore they would
not hazard it. They decided to let
her live the rest of her days with a
sadly clouded mind-—flled with
strange and sad and dangerous filu

By some miracla he was saved this

‘wrong, wrong, wrong to condemn the

I recall another case —a particular

always sinister note in it—the veil

added menace. This young woman is

This girl attended grammar school
and was well into high school before
the hidden famiiy taint broke forth
in her.
“Peculiar ideas,” was the phrase
used 1o describe her strange mental
condition.
She was strong and athletic. She
took part In the school debates and
defended her position with unusual

As her doom crept upon her mind
1t assumed an added brilllance as
though it were burning too rapidly.
Strangers prophesied a great future

The girl began to talk of suloida.
Then one day she took & spade and
made her way to a grove near the
home and began to dig. The mue
cular exercise and the fresh air for

fumes of insanity.
The young girl stood aghast be
fors the grave she had dug for her

it and burst inte tears. There they
found her-—and knew that the long

’ Mrs. mcbuttie, wno was convicted in
the Criminal Court in 1913 for alieged

lifting conspiracy, imprisoned herself
Thursday night just atier she had
been shockea by the news that the
Court of Appeals had decided against
her on her appeal from tne lower
court, and she realized she must serve
the term of five years imposed on her
She had been free on bond s.nce the |
appeal was made. Telephoning to the |
police station, she begged officers tu
come to her home at once ana get her,
exclaiming:
“1 want to be locked up quick, for 1
fear I'll do something rash.”
She was taken to the police station,
and later was transferred by county
authorities to the Tower, preparatory
lto her removal to the prison farm at|
Milledgeville to begin her term.
l In the meantime her counsel, At

a writ of lunacy for the woman, on the
| ground that the continual worry over
her fate had caused her mind to col
lapse. He then obtained the order
from Judge Hill, staying her removal
from the Tower.
The lunacy trial is expected to take
place within the next ten days. Should
Mrs. McDutfie be adjudged crazy, she
still will go to Milledgevilie, but will

New Honor System
For Jolie);; Prison
(By Internaticnal News Service.)
JOLIET, ILL., Dec. s.—~The famous
Joliet honor system, in vogue at the
State penitentiary for several years,
has been abolished by the new war
den, Michael Zimmer. Dubbing the
cld system “pernicious and antiquat
el,” Warden Zimmer declared he wil!
instail a real honor system January 1,
which will give those who realiy de
serve honor privileges the opportuniiy
of bettering their lives as convicts,
“I have made a thorough study of
conditions here” pgaid Warden Zim
mer, “and find the present honor sys
tem antiqguated and pernicious. Priv.
lleges have been exteaded to men
| vhether they were good or bad. Here
after the convicts will be put into
'thrm- classes—bad, good and excel
lent. The excellent class will get the
trusty privileges, the good men will
get minor privileges, and the bad class

The operating and guarantee fund
for 1916 has been raised in Los An
geles, San Diego and other parts of
Southern California. There has been
a tentative agreement with trans
continentai railways regarding rates.
With Europe closed to travel on ac
count of the war, we expect the at
tendance will be many times greater
than that of the present exposition.
From a recent con®ultation with traf
flc experts we believe that the 1916
travel to the Pacific Coast will be un
precedented, and in anneuncing plans
for the Panama-California Interna
‘tional Exposition we Have met with
much encouragement,

CHICAGO, Dec. s.—“An efficient
navy of sufficient size and a standard
army of proportions that will be an in
surance against war and an assur
ance to our people that we will be safe
in all events,” is advocated by Jo
seph G. Cannon, former Speaker of
the House, in an interview here.
“l didn’t vote for Mr, Wilson in 1912,
and I won't vote for him in 1916, but
[ will not critcise his atti;cde in the
European matter,” said MY. Cannon.
“It Is not a time for partisanship. It
is a time for everyone to support the
President.” 3
Mr. Cannon said the adoption of ‘a
clotare rule by the Senate would be a
serions mistake.
“We of tiie House are hotheads,” he
coutinued. *“s'm one. I'm old enough,
though, to try to live down that, as
well as my unjustly acquired reputa
tion for wickedness. 'The House is
bound, on occasions, to be radical and
suggest radical legislation. The Sen
ate sometimes needs a fAlibuster to
give the people time to think deeply.”
