FIENDISH ACTS
OF Dili T8LC
Washington, Sept. 22.—Another
chapter is added to the story of
the tortures of German prison camp
by a Russian soldier who escaped
by tunneling with a knife under the
electrically charged fence along the
Antwfcrp-Kosendael line. It has been
forwarded to the state department
from Ffetrograd.
Brutal treatment and poor and in
sufficient food have cost Germany
the labor of thousands of prisoners,
he say^ Oils labor battalion on the
western front consisting of 2,000
men Ms been reduced by starvation,
exposure, beating and death to less
than 500. The daily rations for a
prisoner, he reported, consisted of a
small amount of bread and turnip
soup, the soup enriched occasional
ly by a bit of horse meat.
The unfit, the wounded and tho^e
who have lo^t members of their
body were kept in invalid camps
until ihey died, but never, he says,
returned to camps in Germany be
cause the officers in command fear
ed the psychological effect upon the
people of the sight of the maimed
men, often little more than animat
ed skeletons.
Stern and implacable mehtods
wore used to compel prisoners to
work. Ingenious torture? that end
ed only short of death were in
flicted on some, yvhile others were
shot outright. Punishments varied
from enforced standing at attention
for a day at time without food
to beatings jvith rifle butts and to
hours of suspension in the air with
ropes being tied to the wrists
while prisoners' hands were held be
hind ihe bodies, the result being to
throw tha weight on the unnaturally
twisted muscleg of tie arms and
a' ouldes. Such jmethods in his own
battalion, once 2,000 strong, had
reduced it to 350 at the time he
escaped.
