' | | if | 4 { THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG, THURSDAY, A 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 Cruél- Fare Is Given--Prof. Luck Is Enroute to Edmonton, Al- berta. ly--Poor 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 om 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 mogth 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 Pri ish' sub'ects within the German Em pire and for two weeks Prof. Tuck was. in a common jail. Through in fluential friends and well-placed mon- ey donations he secured his liberty aq long as he reported 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 that he had to be very careful and his only method of gaining informa tion was by obdervation. 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. The 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 twite a week, but all British citizens had 'to report every day. If they were not there on the minyte, 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 boys scarcely fourteen are go- ing in the latest battalions. They go not because they 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 monev and lives. To ohev snch 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 sunplied 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 {in good health. Another case of the treatment given 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. He was arrested and for a month was in a jail in the same cell with threes | negroes. Prof. Luck left Germany on March i} | 28th and arrived in New York from | Rotterdam on Wednesday, fl. NO PRECAUTION NEGLECTED | To See That The Wrong Man Got i Safely Away. : {Ottawa Free Press. The Justice Department has discov. ered how it came to relefSe Thomas 4 M. Riley, who killed a bartender in | London, when it intended to open | the doors of Portsmouth Penitentiary | | for Thomas Riley, who killed his wile | Too much system and! too little system are responsible for | in Hamilton. the slip. Thomas Riley, of Hamilton, reachd confinement first. Two years ago he went to. Portsmouth apd his record to Ottawa. One year ago Thomas M. | Riley reached Portsmouth, but before | the court officials sent his record to | branch notified - the Justice Depart- {ment that Thomas M.

So artment i there were two Thomas M. Rileys on | vice-president, Mrs. G. amilton, | pep---- " Praper rec rd hey, therefore, know that Thomas M. Riley was an unde sirable alien who was to be deported when released. Hence, when they opened the doors of the penitentiary to the wrong Riley, they bought him a ticket tg Missouri and gave him a personal escort across the inlerna- tional border. No precaution was n» glected to see hat the wrong man got safely away i IN MILITARY CIRCLES THE 21ST BATTALION TOOK MARCH TO ODESSA. Queen's Stationary Hospital Fully Récruited--Results of 21st Battal- ion Shooting Last Saturday. Every man of the 21st Battalion, except those on the sick list and the Signalling Section, left the city at eight o'clock on Thursday morning on a route-march to Odessa. It was expected that the twenty-four miles of the march would be covered by six a'clock. Dinner was served near Odessa from the Battalion Auto- mobile Transports. No. 5 Stationary Hospital ("Queen's") is now recruited to full strength and the men are drilling every day. The results of the shooting match between members of the 21st Battal- ion on Barriefield on Saturday have been announced as follows: Headquarters Staff and Depot Company receive first prize of $18, having made 943 points. The Ma- chine-Gun Section took second prize, of $12, having scored 932 points. The remainder of the Battalion fin- ished in the following order: No. 2 Company, 909 points; No. 3 Com- pany, 889 points; No. 4 Company, 859 points;*and No. 1 Company 836 points. Sergt. E.

Q.M.S. Brown has been in charge of the training of the drivers and he deserves a great deal of credit for their fitness in this branch of the work. It .is reported from Ottawa that Lionel Dunsmore, Canadian FEngi- | neers, x is president of Queen's Engineerihg Society, has been grait- ed a commission. Frederick Simpson, the- Peterboro Indian, who ran in the 1908 Myura- thon in Fngiand, is with the 21st. He ran a lot of pro. races when Ten Eyck had charge of him. CRP EI EPP P FREER PE REMI I E+ WALT MASON'S POEMS. 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- ems in scrap book style, clipp- 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. CREP R OIF Eber bed PELIBIFIEIPEP IPI II FISD 3 i FELL E PEEPS B ESS P ING Seized By Germans.

RT ---------- ARE AWAITING ORDERS CONSIDERING QUESTION OF IN- TERNING CANADIAN SOLDIERS. Many Visit At Watertown--Authori- ties May Communicate With State Department--Action Would Pre- sent Problem. Watertown, N.Y, April 15.--Ofiicials of the City Government may within the next few days address a communi cation to the State Department at Washington for the purpose of ascer taining 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-- pow in Canadian regi ments came from this city, having made ther home here prior to the autbreak of the war, although still subjects of England. These men, while in training at Kingston, Ont., were granted leave of absence for short periods and took occasion to visit their homes. The State Department is said to be considering the question of interning any Canadian soldiers in uniform who visit this country, and .as vet no; de cision has been made in the matter. 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 been armed. Under the international law it. is claimed that no. soldier of a nation 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 Ningston 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 irom 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 information as to the procedure to be followed. Fleet Appointments Announced. Ogdensburg, -N.Y., April 15.--Mana- ger CU. W, Kelley, of the Rutland Transit Company, announces the fleet appointments : Steamer Bennington, captain, W. S. Shay; chief engineer, C. P. Mosher. Steamer Burlington, captain, George Kinch; chief engineer, E. F. Hyatt. Steamer Ogdensburg, captain, W. S. McQueen; chief engi neer, S. N. Rourk. Steamer Rutland, captain, Frederick Iovelace; chief en gineer, M. J. Reagan. Steamer Av- erell, captain, John Smith; chief en gineer, Joseph Cassidy. Steamer Haskell, captain, E. A. Dubrule; chief engineer, James Linton. The boats will begin running Aprjl 24th. "Hang The Kaiser" New York, April 15.--Commenting upon the slaughter of 140 non-com batant passengers -- on two unarmed British meichant vessels, the Wall Street Journal says: '"lo what lengths will the spirit of militarism carry the German Government, it shocks th: world by deliberate pres meditated murder, absolutely without military advantage ? Great Britain cannot hang the submarine officers and creas. But it would be justified, on any interpretation of internation al law, in hanging Von Tirpitz anl the Kaiser himself." The greatest small feature in the newspaper world--Walt Mason's prose poems--are now appearing daily in the British Whig. They have a mel- ody and swing that is captivating. If you read one or two of them, you will never miss any of them. Look for it to-day, on page four.
