They installed at certain of the camps German ofilcers and men who had been exchanged from Eng- land, and who acted as officers of justice and corporals of justice to the camps. These officials were allowed hand in the treatment of pris- mers of war, and to judge by their behavior in some cases, the excellent conditions of British prison camps had 1ade little impression on them. According to the sworn statement 'a recently repatriated Englishman, he officer of justice at one particular camp had been dealing out punish- th a very free hand. He pub- nounced that some of the Bri- isoners were clever, but that ~*elevorer still." A favarite vactise of his was to order a par- r the camp at 9.80 p.m., and then "or 2 o'clock in the morning give he fire alarm, following this with a it inspection at 8 am. His sole ob- ect seems to have been to make the visoners uncomfortable. In the same camp a German cor- poral who had escaped from France was put in charge of the French, and he carried out a program similar to 'that adopted. by the officer. When prisoners complained to the camp ommandant--whom they describe as good man ready to consider their mplaints--the officer of justice moply showed his papers and intim- ted that he was paramount in the This practise of giving German ex- prisoners of war a free hand in ill- treating British prisoners is typically man, and one which would hardly peal to the subjects of any other ountry who had themselves been in ptivity and regained their freedom. - Worked to Death. Division private, in a sworn state- t, describes his experiences at the camp at Frankford-on-the-Oder from wary, 1917, to March, 1918. There ommandant in charge said that he would like "to shoot every English swine who put his foot into the ager.' Although there weré 20,000 men in the camp only fifty or sixty 'were English. Some will never come back. "They went," says the depon- ent, "before civilian -- doctors, who ordered them to work, notwithstand- "ing their condition. They were told to work, and, if unable, were Hable to be shot by the sentry or killed with the bayonet. A notice, to this effect was posted up in the lager, and pris- -oners have been killed in this way." One man of the R. N. D. was very -gick when in the lager. He was order- % ed t go on commando, and reported nother ex-prisoner, a Royal Naval oot jemenpennarassy others in a civillan prison cell 9 by 6 feet. He xeported sick several times, and although he was worn out, the doctor said that he must work. He wanted to go to the lager to see the German doctor, but was not al- lowed to, and one night. he committed suicide by cutting his throat. He had been on the work for some months. Before he committed suicide he wrote a letter to his wife, but we were not allowed to see the letter. § Would Not Allow Exchange. A private of the West Yorks was state and lost his mind as a conse- quence of his treatment, He was put into Brandenburg Asylum for three weeks, but was then sent back to the lager and ordered to work by the German doctor. The under-officer, however, said he was too ill and told him to lie in bed. In a few days he was taken into hospital. A Russian doctor at the hospital asked for him to be exchanged to England at once, and told the German doctor that he could not live more' than a month, The German doctor would not hear of his being exchanged, and said he was all right. He died two weeks after this. Another Royal Naval Division man has stated on oath that while workitt: in the firing line on the German-Rus- sian front near Kelzien, in February and March, 1917, forty prisoners died of starvation. "The guards," he says, "had orders that if they were seen treating a prisoner leniently they would be sent into the firing line for a fortnight. The tent we lived in was shelled constantly. When we were out at work we have seen the shells burst- ing in and around the tent, and it looked like a pepper pot afterward. There was an old barn near the tent, and the Germans had a machine gun in it, and during one night they played it over the tent just to show us what they could do to us. The top of the tent was just riddled, Flogging of Prisoners. Another member of the Royal Nav- at Division who was captured on board the steamship Prinz Hendrik while going on leave from an intern- ment camp m Holland to England, describes the flogging of prisoners re- sorted to at Cassel between May and August, 1917. After detailing his own particular case, he goes on: "I heard a man howling one night when I was in my cell, and I am sure it was another case of flogging, as I heard the blows. Afterward I heard it was a French- man who was flogged. It seemed to be almost habitual to knock a man about on his entry to prison. "There was a bad case of flogging at Cassel which occurred after mine, the vietim being a bombardier in the R. G. A., a fine, powerful man who had been a metropolitan police con- stable, { forget his name. He told me that they struck him across the back, and he retaliated and laid out the striker. Nothing was done to him at the time, but a number of Ger- man soldiers came into his cell at night and gave him a severe thrash- ing and laid him out. He was, Tam told by him, black and blue all over. Yhig was the talk of the camp among the prisoners, but nothing was done punished, : ; "There ig. one matter involving made to work while in a very bad- officially about it, and no one WAS} = m9 . : = ReUnIOUS FACTS ABOUT COLD Strange Effect Which Extreme Cold Has Upon the Human Body. Cold presents many odd facts, In the first place, water made by melting snow is very unwholesome and causes painful inflammation of the throat, palate and tongue. Intense cold causes a dulling of the senses, taste and smell becoming al- most nil. The lack of these two senses seems, however, to be.a very kind and wise provfsion of nature to enable the traveller in the cold regions to eat all Kinds of oily, disagreeable foods like | blubber and fat, which are nocessary | as heat producers. The effect of cold on the eyes 1s very dangerous. It causes them first gradually to close and then to freeze tight. : Beards do not freeze except where the moisture from the breath is con- | verteddinto snow: but the color glands tare rendered somewhat torpid by the cold, and dark beards gradually be- come lighter, until after a while they seem entirely changed in color. Another curious fact about the cold of the Arctic regions is that when a iperson stops walking or working in lany way whereby the feet get exer- leise, the sole of the foot loses all 'sense of feeling. In all extremely cold lands, the 'moisture exhaled from the body con- | denses into small, hard crystals which 'make quite a bit of noise as one walks about. i ee eed LEMONS WHITEN AND BEAUTIFY THE SKIN Make this beauty lotion cheaply for your face, neck, arms and hands.

A company, called Can Conservers of Canada, Ltd., has been formed in Toronto to collect these, and cleanse, sterilize and re-ton them for use again, It is understood that Mackenzie-Mann interests and J.
