PAGE FOUR
PRISONERS IN GERMANY
WERE SADLY UNDERFED
Washington, Dev. 3.—American
prisoners returning from German
prison camps complain of scanty food
and bad housing conditions, General
Pershing has informed the war de
partment, but there is no evidence of
diserimination against Americans nor
any authenticated report of brutality
toward them.
" The war department issued the fol-
Jowing statement, based on a cable
from General Pershing, dated Novem
ber 29, and sent in reply to an inquiry
cabled by General March:
* American prisoners released from
German prison camps complain of
poor and scanty food and bad hous
ing conditions. Only a small percent
age of those who are sick are hospital
cases. The majority are suffering
from slight colds and the prospect is
that all will recover rapidly with pro
per food and housing. There is no evi
dence of discrimination against the
American prisoners.
“Among 7,000 prisoners of all na
tionalities who have been released
there is no autheatic instance of bru
tality against the Americans.
“The majority of the American
prisoners state that the German sol
diers also suffered food privations,
but that in cases where the supply of
food was insufficient, food for the
prisoners was cut off before that for
the German soldiers.”
GERMANS’ RETREAT IS
LIKE NAPOLEONS’
Paris, Dec. s.—German troops
wrich have been occupying Russian
territory are returning to Germany
under great difficulty, according to a
dispatch from Copenhagen. One de
tachment of 1,500 men marching
from Lodz, seventy-five miles south
west of Warsaw, were attacked by
the Poles and only succeeded ;in
reaching the German border after un
dergoing severe hardships.
The German Army of 500,000 men
is being forced to march homeward
through snow and rain. The men can
not use the railroads because the Rus
sians returning to their own country
have taken over all the rolling stock.
The Germans are pillaging as they
pass through villages, the inhabitants
taking flight as the soldiers approach.
e
OUR NAVY IS TO HAVE
MORE STRONGHOLDS
Washington, Dec. I.—Aerican nav
al bases in the Atlantic and Pacific
Oceans and Caribbean Sea will be
measurably strengthened with surplus
equipment manufactured for the war
and now released or in process of
release.
While the great fleet base in Hamp
ton Roads has not been wholly com
pleted, it is well on the way toward
being the most extensive establishé
ment of its kind undertaken by the
navy. From the navy’s standpoint it
i< one of the blessings of the war. It
is designed to take care of the entire
Atlantic Fleet. :
In time a strong base will be devel
oped in the Virgin Islands, and the
big Guantanamo (Cuba) base or ren
dezvous will be strengthened. The re
lease of aircraft and other equipment
not longer required for war purposes
will make possible important develop
ments on our several zases. This is
true of Pearl Island, Hawaii, Guam
an dthe Philippines.
SOUTH AFRICA FAVORS
EXPULSION OF GERMANS
Johannesburg, South Africa, Dec.
I.—The recent statement of Sir Geo.
Cave, British Home Secretary, re
garding the repatriation of Germans
has evoked keen interest here. It is
strongly felt that Germans interned
in South Africa ,numbering several
thousands, should be repatriated. If
Australia and Canada eject Germans,
it is felt that South Africa must fol
lew suit.
HOW THREE FARM BOYS WAK
ENED FATHER ‘
One of the outstanding results of
boys’ agricultural club work in Tenn
essee has been its effect upon the pa
rents of the members. Three sons of
a Madison County farmer joined the
corn club last year. One son pro
duced 144 bushels on his acre, an
other 139 bushels, and the third 120
bushels, the profit from the 3 acres
being $464.64. This demonstration
wakened the father to the opportuni
ties at his very door. He has pulled
out of the rut, adopted progressive
ideas, and has become a ‘‘live wire”’
and a recognized leader in his neigh
borhood.
FOOD NOTES
Merchants may buy sugar without
certificates, and may sell without tak
ing certificates, and purchasers are
allowed four pounds per individual
per month.
Flour may be sold as was done be
fore Federal Food Control was inau
gurated. Hoarding flour, however, is
not allowable.
All restrictions are removed from
any and all kinds of building. It is
still necessary to conserve food, but
doing so is put up to each individual
consumer. We have 200,000,000 of
Eutropeans to feed for some months
vet.

ORPHANS’ HOME DAY AT
BAPTIST CHURCH SUNDAY
Orphans’ Home Day will be cele
brated at the First Baptist Church
here on Sunday, Dec. Bth, and Dr.
Spalding, of Atlanta, Chaplin of the
B. O. H., will give a talk to the Sun
day School. Dr. Spalding is much
beloved in Marietta and there will
doubtless be a large congregation
present. The three little orphans who
are the especial charges of the First
Baptist Sunday School here, will come
up from the Home in Hapeville on
Saturday to spend the week-end with
M#. and Mrs. J. W. L. Stovall. They
will also be present at the services
Sunday morning.
WEEK-END BASKETS MARKETED
BY CLUB
One method which has proved
most practicable in bringing the pro
ducers and consumers in this country
nearer together has been the=‘‘week
end” basket which goes from the farm
to the city dweller. A home-demon
stration club in Davidson County,
Tenn., is marketing its surplus in
these baskets. Ordinary peck bask
ets are used for the purpose and vege
tables, small fruits, eggs, cottage
cheese, butter, dressed chickens, etc.,
are packed in them. In the begin
ning instructions in dressing fowls
for market was found necessary by
the home-demonstration agent, as few
of the farm woman had done this
work.
SPANISH INFLUENZA OR GRIF
BY DR. LEE H. SMITH.
An old enemy'is with us again, anc
whether we fight a German or a germ
we must put up a good fight, and not be
afraid. The influenza runs a very brie!
course when the patient is careful, and
if we keep the system in good condition
and throw off the poisons which tend tc
accumulate within our bodies, we car
escape the disease. Remember these
three C’s—a clean mouth, a clean skin,
and clean bowels. To carry off poisons
from the system and keep the bowels
loose, daily doses of a pleasant laxative
should be taken. Such a one is made
of May-apple, leaves of aloe, root of
jalap, and called Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant
Pellets. Hot lemonade should be used
freely if attacked by a cold, and the
patient should be put to bed aifter a hot
mustard foot-bath.
To prevent the attack of bronchitis or
pneumonia and to control the pain,
Anuric tablets should be obtained at the
drug store, and one given every two
hours, with lemonade. The Anuric tab
lets were first discovered by Dr. Pierce,
and, as they flush the gladder and
cleanse the kidneys, they carry away
much of the poisons and the uric acid.
It is important that broths, milk, but
termilk, ice-cream and simple diet
be given regularly to strengthen the sys
tem and increase the vital resistance.
The fever is diminished by the use of the
Anuric tabiets, but in adcfition, the fore
head, arms and hands may be bathed
with water (tepid) in which a table
spoonful of salaratus has been dissolved
in a quart. After an attack of grip or
pneumonia to build up and strengthen
the system, obtain at the drug store a
good iron tonic, called * Irontic” Tab
lets, or that well known herbal tonic,
Dr, Pierce’s Goldea Medical Discovery.
GERMANY MUST PAY
TO THE VERY LIMIT
London, December 4.—A1l the na
tions represented at the inter-allied
conference here may be regarded as
in agreemnt with the policy of Lloyd-
George as to compelling Germany to
pay to the limit of her capacity. The
allied representatives are also agreed
on the proposition of bringing to
trial those responsible for outrages
on humanity during the war.
It is understood a general agree
ment was reached on the matters
deliberated on, but, out of courtesy
to the United States, in the absence
of Colonel House, it would be
necessary to acquaint President
Wilson in detail with the decisions
before they are made public.
Speaking at Bootle, Andrew Bonar
Law, the chancellor of the ex
chequer, confirmed the statement
that the British government had de
cided to press the allies as strongly
as possible that the surrender of for
mer Emperor William should be de
manded, and that he should stand his
trial.
The chancellor also announced that
the government had appointed a com
mittee to examine scientifically into
the question of how much the enemy
would be able to pay. The govern
ment would propose such procedure
to the allies, and he believed it would
be adopted. An inter-allied commit
tee would then inquire into the whole
question and decide what amount was
obtainable. Steps would then be tak
en to secure its payment,
As Colonel E. M. House, the Amer
ican grepresentative, was unable to
‘attend the allied conferences in Lon
don yesterday and today, Mr. Bonar
Law added, it was impossible that a
decision could be reached on any
point. He was, therefore, now only
expressing the views of the British
government.
NAVAL CONCESSION
REFUSED GERMANY
\
Copenhagen, December 4.—The re
ply of Admiral Beatty, commander of
the British grand fleet, to a request
by Germany for mitigation of naval
terms of the armistice, refuses any
concession regarding merchant ship
ping or fishing in the North Sea, the
Berlin Wolff bureau states.
