THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG, THURSDAY, APRIL 15, 1915. PROF. E. LUCK Arrived in Kingston From Ger- "many on Thursday. HE WAS EXCHANGED FOR GERMAN PRISONER-OF-WAR IN ENGLAND. / Germany Treats Her Prisoners Cruel- ly--Poor Fare Is Given--Prof. Luck Is Enroute to Edmonton, Al- berta. Three years ago Prof. Elmer Luck, Edmonton Univers ty, left Edmonton * for Germany. He returned to Ameri ca on Wednesday morning and was in the city on Thursday, after having had the experience of being a prison er of war in Germany! for two montis, Prof. luck was a student in leipzig University while in Germany, and in July of last year received word that his wife had died in Canada, leaving two small children to his care. A month later war broke out and since that time it has been a Series of troubles for him.. On September 5th an order was issued, to arrest all Brit ish subjects within the German Em pire 'and for two weeks Prof. Luck was in a common jail.- Through in fluential friends and well-placed mon- ey donations he secured his liberty as long as he Teported to the Chief of Police twice every day. On February Ist an order was issued to arrest all colonials and he was since in the Leipzig concentration camp, until he was exchanged for a German prisoner of war from England. In commenting on his experiences Prof. Luck gave the Whig some very interesting information as to the sit uation. in Germany, although he said tnat he had to be very careful and his only method of gaining informa- tion' was by observation. The Germans as a people are more like a machine than a civilized na tion he said. The newspapers print only what they are told to print Every few days a notice appears that a newspaper has been made to suspend publication for from three days to three months for printing something pro-British. Ther hatred Is all against the British, Russian and French citizens in Germany at the outbreak of the war had to re- port to the Chief of Police twice a week, but all British citizens had to report every day. If they were not there on the minute, they were given all kinds of abuse. _The troops leaving Germanv for the front do not now go with songs and cheering as was the case at first. Young hoys scarcely fourteen are go- ing in the latest battalions. They go not because 4hey are patriotic but if they stay at home they are lined up against a wall and shot for re- fusing. so there is a bigger chance of living if they go to the front. The common people do not seem to be able to think for themselves. The Kaiser says that the war must be fought to a finish and for this rea- son the common people are sacrifie- ing their money and lives. To obey such orders is second nature to them. The prisoners of war in Germany are treated in a manner that is not fit for criminals of the most danger- ous types. In a case Prof. Luck knew about, the rector of his uni- versity was a prisoner of war in Eng- } land and was one of those exchang- ed. He came back and reported that even beer was supplied to the German prisoners in England. In Germany the morning "meal" is of flour and water, without sugar or anything else. Dinner consists of black bread and a thin soup and for supper black-bread and water. Cof- fee is rerved twice a week. Despite this menu Prof. Luck looked to be Nn good health, Another case of the' treatment elven a Canadian was that of a Mr. Flint, one of the principal citizens of Canmore, Alta. He was manager of the largest coal mine.there, lie was arrested and for a month was in a jail in the same cell with three | negroes. - | Prof. Luck left Germany on March 28th and arrived in New York from | Rotterdam on Wednesday.

Hence, when they opened the doors of the penitentiary the wrong Riley, they bought him a ticket to Missouri and gave him a personal, escort across ine inlerna- tional border. No precaution was n> glected to see that the wrong man got safely away IN MILITARY CIRCLES THE 21ST BATTALION TOOK MARCH TO ODESSA, Queen's Stationary Hospital Fully Recruited--Results of 21st Battal. ion Shooting Last Saturday.

The Whig is now publishing daily, on page four, one of Walt Mason's prose poems. There has been no newspaper feature in many, many years so popular throughout the United States and Canada, as this. The whole- some humor, the homely philos- ophy and the spirit of cheerful- ness that breathe from each po- em find a response in every heart. There are thousands of peo- ple who are retaining these po- ens in--serap book style, clipps in them out each day from the paper as they appear. They are well worth preservation, and we pass this idea along to our read- ers. | FFPFEL EEF LFF P PME R SHED IRG Seized By Germans. (Special to the Whig.)

Many Visit At Watertown--Authori- ties May Communicate With State Department--Action Would Pre- sent Problem. Watertown, N.Y, April 15.--Officials of the City Governmeit may within the pext few days address a communi cation to the State Department at Washington for the purpose of ascer whether any action shall be taken to intern Canadian soldicrs who visit the city during the European war. During the period since the war broke out a number of Canadian sol- diers have visited the city. Several men who are now in Canadian regi ments came from this eity, having made ther home here prior to the autbreak of the war, akhough still subjects of England: These men, while in training at Kingston, Ont., were granted leave oi absence for short periods and took . cecasion to vist their homes. The State Department is said to be considering the question of interning any Canadian soldiers in uniform who visit this cotntry, and .as yet no; de- cision has been If no oflicial communication is re ceived from the Secretary of State's office the' inquiry will probably be made by the local officials. The most of the Canadian soldiers who have visited the city have worn their uniforms while here, although it is said they have not heen armed. Under the international law it is claimed that no soldier of a mation at war may cross the border of a country not at war without beingin terned. This city is on' the route covered by most soldiers leaving Mingston for any part of the United States and should the Statc Department make decision ordering the soldiers intern- ed, the local officials believe they would have a problem before them. Entry from Kingston into th's coun try is.made by way of ferry to Cape Vincent and from Cape Vincent to this city by railroad. Local officials to-day said they would not feel justified in taking any action until they received more com plete infcrmation as to the procedure to be followed. Fleet Appointments Anrounced.

New York, April 15.--Commenting upon the slaughter of 140 pon-com batant passengers on two unarmed British meichant vessels, the Wall Strect Journal says: "To what lengths will the spirit of militarism carry the Gérman Government, , it shocks th: world by deliberate pres med.tated murder, absolutely without military advantage ? Great Britain cannot, hang the submarine officers and crews. But it would be justified on any interpretation of internation al law, in hanging Von Tirpitz ani the Kaiser himself." newspaper world--Walt Mason's prose poems--are now appearing daily in. the British Whig.
