HE WAS EXCHANGED FOR GERMAN PRISONER-OF-WAR © IN ENGLAND, 7 Germany Treats Her Prisoners Cruel. ly--Poor Fare Is Given--Prof. Luck Is Enroute to Edmonton, Al- berta. Three years agc 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 mont! s, 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 Prit- ish subects within the German Em pire and for two wecks 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 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 tpat he had to be very careful and 118 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. The hatred is all against the British, 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 repart 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 boys scarcely fourteen are go- ing in the latest battalions, They go not because 'they are patriotic but il they stay at home they are lined up against a wall and shot for re. 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 he fought to a finish and for this rea- son the common people are sacrifie- ing their money and, lives. To obey ench 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- if 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 seup 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. | other 'ease of the treatment ely $a Canadian was that of a Mr. y one of the principal citizens! Flin of Carmore, Alta.

Prof. Luck left Germany on March | 28th and arrived in New York from Rotterdam on Wednesday. NO PRECAUTION NEGLECTED f | To See That The Wrong Man Got Safely Away. {Ottawa Free Press, Justice Department has discov | {ered how it came to relemse Thomas { M.

Ome year ago Thomas M. 8 | Riley reached Portsmouth, but tefore | the court officials sent his record to | Ottawa an agent of the immigration | branch notified the Justice part- | ment that Thomas M. Riley, conviet- | 'ord_Theatre in W: President Abraham Lincoln, who died red and sen | Portsmouth, was an American tie, {and that he should be deported at | the expiration of his sentence.

They, therelore, know that Thomas M. Riley was an unde sirable alien who was to be deported when released.

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 thonsands 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. PEELE 0009900095400 4000 Seized By Germans.

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.--0Ofhicials 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 whether any action shall be taken to intern Canadian soldiers who visit the city during the European war. During - the period since the war broke out a pumber of Canadian sol- diers have visited the city. Several men who are vow 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 oi absence for short periods and took occasion to visit their hon.es. The State Department is said to be considering the question of interning any Canadian soldiers in uniform wif visit this country, and .as vet no; de cision has been made in the matter. If no: oflicial communitation 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 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 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 information as to the procedure to be followed. Fleet Appointments Announced. Ogdensburg, N.Y., April 15.--Mana- ger UC. W. Kelley, of the Rutland Transit Company, announces the fleet appointments : Steamer Bennington, captain, W. S. Shay; chief engineer, C. P. Mosher.

J. Reagan. Steamer Av- erell, captain, John Smith; chief ep gineer, 'Joseph Cassidy. Steamer Haskell, captain, E. A. Dubrule; chief engineer, James Linton. The Foats will begin running April 21th. 'Hang The Kaiser." New York, April 15.--Commenting upon the slaughter of 140 npon-com- batant passengers on two unarmed British merchant vessels, the Wall Strect - Journal says: '"To what lengths will the spirit of militarism carry the German Government, that | it shocks ths 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." 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. An Earl street resident was given a surprise when she came down stairs on Thursday morning.
