PROF. LUCK LECTURED ON HIS EXPERIENCES AS A PRISONER OF WAR. For Some Months in Germany--He Says That Country Has Lots of Food--Treats Allens Very Badly. - "It is like coming out of & dark, damp cellar into the bright sunlight of Canada," sald Prof. Elmer Luck, M.A., Edmonton, speaking in Queen Street Methodist 'Church on Thurs- day evening, before a fairly large au- dience, on his experiences as a pris- oner of war in Germany. Prof. Lueck arrived in Canada six weeks ago from the Kaiser's domains with his two little daughters. = He spoke for two hours before a much interested audience, unfolding the tale of his stay in Germany. . Prof. Luck is a careful observer of events. prisoner-of-war to return from Ger- many, and it will be remembered that upon his arrival in Kingston the Whig had an interview with him. "It is very hard for me to realize yet," sald Prof. Luck, "what Cana- . dian freedom means, We talk a great deal about our freedom, but it is only When a person has gone through what I experienced that we realize our wonderful heritage, 1 am very sorry to think that some of my most intimate friends are still there, that they are suffering, and just how much no person knows." Prof. Luck sald that he was out of patience over the attitude of the Germans before hostilities were com- menced, Conditions were so bad that he often thought that he would have to give up his special course of study and leave the country, but when he had almost reached the end of his work he decided to remain. Prof. Luck was born at Deseronto, and graduated from Toronto Univer. "sity. . For six weeks previous to the summer of 1912, he was modern lan- guage master in the Collegiate Insti- tute at Edmontoll, In the sum- mer of 1912 he left with his two motherless daughters to study Teu- tonie philology at the University of Lelpsie. Speaking about the character of the Germans, Prof, Luck said: "There are some good things about their character. 1 want to be fair in what I say. One thing we Britixhers pride ourselves on is that of maintaining our judgment. Above all things the Germans are industri. oui, You seldom see a lazy Ger- man. They are good settlers both in their own country and in Canada. In spite of the low wages, in some cases twenty-five cents a day, they pay very high taxes, in some cases fif- He was the first Canadiag Here, if we pay thirty mills we grum~ ble, but they take it as a matter of {pourse.

The men are great g0s- | sips, and will sit together five hours lat night talking and drinking beer. { They are alse law-abiding, and every- one a genius for organizing. They are almost a machine, Police keep records which are most valuable. * The Germans also hold a great record for production. Along this line the speaker referred to the fact that mo mouth organs Were manufactured in England. Mouth organs made fin Gérmany were brought into England, via Holland. and as a result British and Canadian soldiers at the front were being comi- forted with German mouth organs. There was a great deal of immor- ality among the Germans. One would see a certain form of religion, but the spirit was lackidg .

The question was asked, "Why is it necessary to go to Germany to study?" The speaker said the Ger- mans were pre-eminent for thor- oughness. They were marvellous in this respect, but a one-sided nation of "hook-worms." They *'fell down," as it were, owing to the fact that they did not know human nature,and in. this war it was causing their de- feat, Speaking about reports that Ger- many was badly off for food, Prof. Luck said: "They are not badly off for food. If we depend on that to win this war we will be waiting a long time." He added that the people had been put on small rations. He declared that the lack of metal would be felt more than the lack of food. "The feeling in Germany is that they are going to win. They are confident of success." ; His Imprisonment, fn speaking of his exchange and ultimate liberation, Prof. Luck stated that in exerting all his efforts to gain the liberation of a young companion, an Australian student of the violin at the Conservatory of Leipsie, he had never for a moment thought of lils own escape.

There is nothing too good to erect in memory of those gallant men. They were the equal of British regulars in every way, and with few exceptions were out to play the game." Would Like to Get Kaiser, "1 have lost quite a few of my pals, and there are quite a number in the hospital," writes Private J. Montgomery, of the Second Battal. ion, in a letter to his sister.
