GERMANS LIKE
PRISON SKIPS
All Those Interned at Newbury
Race Track Removed to Old
Passenger Vessels.
South End, England.—German pris
oners who were interned at the race
track at Newbury, concerning which
so many complaints were made in
German papers have been moved to
other places, many of them being on
English prison ships which are
here in command of Col
De Cordes, a retired officer, who had
long experience in charge of prison
camps in t(>e African war.
Baron Louis Anton von Horst whose
citizenship has been much in question
since the opening of the war, is among
the prominent men held on the Prince
Edward, a ship formerly in service
between Bristol and Canadian ports,
which has been converted into a pris
on ship, together with the liners Sax
onia and Ivemia.
Really an American.
Baron von Horst is well-known in
California, where he has lived much
of his life. His attorneys say he is
really an American, as his father was
naturalized in the United States and
consequently the present baron who
was then under age, automatically be
came an American citizen.
However, Baron von Horst accepted
a baronetcy from the Duchy of Saxe-
Coburg and believed he had surren
dered his American citizenship in do
ing so. At least he registered in Lon
don at the opening of the war as an
alien enemy. His case, under repre
sentations from the American embassy
is under consideration.
Warm and Dry.
German prisoners are delighted with
the transfer to the passenger ships,
where they can keep warm and dry,
in contrast to the unfavorable condi
tions under which they lived in can
vas and stables at the Nedbury race
course.
Each of the three prison ships here
has about 800 Germans on board.
Sanitary conditions are excellent and
it is not unlikely that more vessels
will be added to the fleet as this
means of caring for Germans is espe
cially satisfactory.
The prisoners eat from china and
live much as passengers would on an
ordinary sea voyage, except that their
belongings are carefully searched and
military discipline is enforced.
Grounds for Sport.
At Queens Ferry, in Wales, an idle
iron factory has been taken over for
the use of prisoners and several hun
dred men are quartered in the build
ing which affords an admirable shel
ter. The establishment overlooks the
sea and is surrounded by several
acres of land enclosed in a high board
fence on three sides. The prisoners
have a large ground for football, base
ball and other sports.
Lack of employment is the great
problem in all the prison camps. In
many of the camps they have learned
to knit and busy themselves making
sodks and neck scarfs.

Speaking
... THE...
Public Mind
PROBLEM OF UNEMPLOYED.
To The Herald.
If you will allow me space in your
columns that speak the public mind,
in reference to the way we working
men of this city are living: To my
mind the saddest thing is when we
meet, you can hear one say to the
other, "Well, Jim, what luck?”
“None; how about you?”
“The only thing I see is Mr. Jones
has three negroes and two whites on
his job. He told me nothing doing.
I never was so tired walking In all
my life. To go home and see the
wife and hear the little ones say papa
has come. Then the sad heart he has
when no place to even buy one bite to
eat whereby he can stop the wolf from
the door. When we sit around the lit
tle fire at night and see our little ones
so bright and so cheerful, how can a
man sit up in his chair, knowing there
is not enough for the morrow to live
on. When he gets up he is not hun
gry after the worry and the sleepless
nights that have passed.
No one knows but those who have
not made but about SSO in four months
with five in family. The Great God
above only knows the sadness of his
heart, while we have been blessed with
good health. We do not ask for do
nations, It Is work. We do not ask
the pity of those that are up In this
world’s goods, It is work. A man came
to my place to collect a bill. I told
my story. He told me to come to his
place of business, he would give me
work. After four trips he told me
the other man came back and did not
want me—all to be turned away with
no hopes.
Thanking yon for the space you gave
me in your column. EXPERIENCED.
WAR MAKES TOBACCO
POPULAR XMAS GIFT
Crystal Humidors Full of Fa
mous Pipe Tobacco In Great
Demand Here.
The prominence given to tobacco In
the great conflict in Europe, as the
one Joy for millions of men; the count
less ChrlstmaH presents of tobacco be
ing sent to the soldiers of all nations
by their families and friends at home,
have made Christmas gifts of tobacco
here more popular than ever before.
The war has shown thousands of peo
ple that tobacco Is the one thing a
man prizes above everything else, and
if he can enjoy It amid the rigors of
life In the trenches, it will give him
much greater enjoyment before his
peaceful hearth on Christmas morn
ing.
Local dealers say that a very popu
lar tobacco for Christmas giving is
Tuxedo, because of the handsome ap
pearance of the Tuxedo Crystal Glass
Humidor, with Its Christmas Card at
tached by a red ribbon bow. all ready
for sending to friends or placing near
the Christmas tree for Father, Brother,
Husband or Son. This Tuxedo Humi
dor Is the most beautiful ever design
ed and a most practical humidor as
well, keeping Its pound of Tuxedo to
bacco In fresh, perfect condition. Peo
ple naturally choose Tuxedo because
so many famous men smoke this to
bacco nnd have publicly endorsed It.
Great singers like Caruso endorse Tux
edo because it Is a really mild tobac
co that does not sting their throats.
Poiulsr Idols like Harry I-auder en
dorse Tuxedo because It keeps them
cheerful and happy—and that Is the
Ideal mission of a Christmas gift.
Tobacco dealers are pleased over the
large number of ladles who are coming
to their stores this year to buy Tuxedo
Jars to give the mentolks for Christ
mas. Ladies hnve learned that they
are sure of courteous attention at all
tobacco shops and their patronage Is
appreciated.

In Spite of Gloom, London
Productions Same as Ever.
Sho? Windows Full of Mourn
ing Goods.
London.—ln spite of the gloom which
hangs over London at night and the
general depression as a result of the
war, the more important London thea
tres will offer their Christmas pa.n
tomlmes as usual, taking the position
that children must not be robbed of
their holiday treat because of the war.
Cinderella, Jack and the Bean Stalk,
Sleeping Beauty and a number of other
favorite fancies of childhood are to be
revived at Christinas time with the
same brilliancy as in past wears.
Hotels which have not attempted to
have dancing since the opening of the
war have also announced that they will
resume the weekly Saturday evening
dinner dances in an effort to throw off
the gloom which is settling over Eng
land.
Mourning is rapidly displacing col
ors in London streets and shop win
dows are filled with black hats. Bel
gian and French visitors are nearly
all in mourning and few London hos
tesses are now able to arrange din
ners, even very small afairs, without
discovering that the war has brought
death to the families ot many of their
friends.

TURN COTTON
CALAMITY TO I
REAL BENEFIT
Commissioners of Agriculture
of Southern States Agree on
Plan for a “Market Man."
Atlanta.—J. D. Price, Georgia’s com
missioner of agriculture, elected presi
dent of the commissioners of agricul
ture of the Southern states at their
convention in Atlanta Friday, made
public Saturday an important state
ment of the commissioners to the peo
ple of the South.
In this statement, the commission
ers agree that the farmers and busi
ness men of the South can, if they
will, turn tire calamity caused by the
cotton situation into lasting benefit.
The South in the past has not pros
pered us other agricultural sections
have, state the commissioners, because
all of file states, witli tire exception
of North Carolina and Tennessee have
imported yearly food-stuffs for man
and beast equal in value to tile cotton
produced in these states; the calamity
which has fallen on cotton will change
tliis now if tile Southern farmers di
versify their crops, state the commis
sioners.
Before leaving Atlanta Saturday
each of the commissioners urged Com
missioner Price to obtain for his de
partment a "market man,” whose busi
ness will be to find markets for the
products of every farmer in Georgiu
who will write to the department for
aid in selling his crop, livery South
ern state, except Georgia, said the
commissioners, now has such a man,
whose work has proven Immensely
valuable.
Commissioner Price has taken the
matter under serious consideration,
and says he will act as best he can
under Georgia law in regard to secur
ing a "market man.”
The statement of the commissioners
follows in full:
A few months ago the farmers of
the South were facing what seemed
to be a prosperous period, but with
the outbreak of the European war,
which brought disaster to the cotton
market, the principal crop of the South
lias changed from what appeared pros
perous conditions to a condition of ca
lamity, so far as the present crop Is
concerned. But if the farmers and
business men of the South will, they
can do much to turn this condition if
calamity into a lasting benefit for the
Southern farmer and business inter
ests. Those in charge of the agricul
tural work have been urging the im
portance of diversification of crops
and to no longer rely upon the ono
crop system, but the policy has be
come so firmly established by those
extending credit that It was hard for
the farmer to get away from the sys
tem.
The South has been buying its food
products largely from other sections
of the country,—sending money away
from the South that could and should
have remained in active Inrttl circula
tion. Climatic and soil conditions,—•
in fact, everything Is favorable for
the production of the crops that the
South lias been depending upon other
states supplying its people. It 1; appa
rent that we must change from the one
crop system to a system that produces
at home.the food stuffs that have been
coming to us from other sections of
the country. If the business men of
the South will lend their active co
operation to the farmers in assisting
them in providing means of preparing
the crops for market the cash markets
for same, ns they have been accus
tomed to with the cotton crops, and
the farmers will diversify their crops,
this calamity can lie changed into per
manent prosperity.
In the sale of cotton, the Southern
farmer has had no competitor anil no
matter what the condition of the halo
ns to covering, It was received upon
the market. This will not be the ease
"~~ '* ~ : _ r ...
when he enters with grain and other
forage crops, and he must learn to
put these products in a condition simi
lar to tha* from other sections. The
grain must be graded and come up to
the requirements of the law regulating
the sale of such products, or else the
farmer of the South will suffer, un
necessarily, very severe loss in selling.
He cannot expect to receive the price
at which this grain is sold at retail
when he offers it in wholesale quan
tities, but will only obtain the price
which the markets Justify.
All tlie cotton states, with the ex
ception of North Carolina and Ten
nessee, from the best statistics we can
obtain, import each year food stuffs
for man and beast to an amount equal
to the money received from tlic sale
of cotton produced in these states, and
this really is the reason why the South
has not prospered as has most of the
other agricultural states.
In adttlon to the home market, wo
have for diversified farming products,
we have a prospective market In ttie
warring nations across the water,
which will, for sometime at least, look
to tlie United States for food, not on 1 y
for its armies, but for its people at
home, assuring the farmers of the
South who can produce food products
at an earlier date, to supply this de
mand than any other section of the
world, a fixed market. In changing
from the one crop system to diversi
fication, the farmer should give atten
tion to live stock, to the extent that
his means and opportunities will per
mit.
It is tlie business of the farmer to
see to tlie production of these crops,
hut In marketing the same he neets
the co-operation of the business men
and hankers of the country, and we
earnestly request their assistance, and
that tlie agricultural departments of
each state give especial attention to
this point. We especially urge land
lords to assist and encourage laborers
in rnlsing supplies for their farms and
families, and that the yearly lease sys
