BRITISH PRISONER
TELL EXPERIENCE
IN GERMAN CAMP
The following is taken from the
London Times of recent date, which
gives the story of the crualty of the
German accorded their prisoners of
war. Stanley Pritchard tells the story
V his experience as follows:
“I was a soldier before the war, ser
ving with that famous regiment, the
Grenadier Guards, which went to the
front in August, 1914. I was capture
; ed by the Germans on the 26th of
i October the same year, and taken to
Germany in some big trucks. There
were something like 30 men In the
truck with me, and we did not get
a bit of anything to eat for four days
and four nights until we landed at a
place called Gottingen, in Hanover.
There we were given a bowl of soup,
consisting of carrots and water, and
one piece of bread a day. This went
on for about five months till we were
nearly too wjak to walk about.
“The Prussian Guards were doing
| ‘sentry go* in the camp, and aJways
i carried a big stick. Every time they
saw an Englishman waiting within 20
yards of them, hewould be beaten like
a dog. I was beaten awfully by a
German sentry for trying to get some
extra soup: I was kicked and beaten
with a rifle, rolled in the snow and
bruised nearly all over. There was
also a large number of Russians in
this camp, and they were dying 29 and
| 30 every day with starvation.
The First Parcel
*‘l keot myself going by eating po
tato rind and other stuff—pig food
up to April when I leceived my first
parcel from Bristol which was sent by
my own people. It was a God-sent, I
can assure .you, and after a fe wveeks
my regiment was also sending me
parcels. There were only 29 Grena
diers in that camp. I gaw one fellow
tied to a pole and beaten terribly by
the Germans.

HELP
DOG ARMY IS
A BIG
England’s dog army rendered gal
lant service in the war. Many a sold
ier owes his life to some poor uncared
for stray dog. For nearly two years,
were employed by the British as mes
sengers. as sentries and as guards.
Early in 1917 a war dog school of
instruction was established by the
British war office and Lieutenant
Colonel Richardson, who has devoted
his life to training dogs for military
and police purposes, was appointed
commandant of the school. Game
! keepers, hunt servants and shepherds
'were called up from the army to as
sist in the work of instruction,
i After a thorough training in Eng
gland, the dogs'were sent to France,
|and on the battlefields, their skiIII,
: courage and tenacity amazed the army
l Often wounded in the performance of
.their duties, they never faltered while
strength remained to carry on. The
official record of their heroic work
|tells of successful message-carrying
!through darkness, mist, rain and shell
fire over the most difficult ground,
In a few minutes’ time dogs have
brought messages over ground that
would take a soldier runner hours to
cross.
During the great German advance
! last spring part of the British line in
.front of the famous French town was
; cut off by severe enemy barrage. A
messenger do gwas released with an
urgent appeal for reinforcements. It
| ran two miles in ten minutes. The
; result was that a French colonial di
j vision was sent up and prevented a
disaster. The messenger was a High
land sheep dog.
Another dog with a message ran
nearly four miles in twenty minutes,
and still another in the same time
carried back from the front a map
of an important captured position,
when a man would have taken an hour
and a half to bring jt in.

GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS"
Recently friends in Massachusetts
sent a package by express to a fairly
wellknown resident of this city, ad
dressing it to Hartford, but omitting
the street and number which would
have completed his address. The ex-,
press company sent the package to'
Newark, N. J., where employee disco
vered that it was intended for delivery
in this city and sent it here.
In due time the Massachusetts re
sidents wrote to the consignee in this
city expressing the hope that he had
received the package, and thus giving
him his first intimation that it had
been sent. He then got in touch with
the express officials in this city, and,
I in time, the package was brought to
his home. Then, when the consignor
complained of the delay, he was told
by the man who delivered the pack
age that the employes were under
orders not to make an effort to supply
or complete missing or defective ad
i dresses, and then he added, "We are
! now Government officials.”
What the consigne tol him at this j
point was enlightening, but not 90
I much so as the information given by
| the expressman to the effect that he
and all his fellow-servants are gov
; ernment officials, for this isw indeed,
| news. Are there, then, other govern
1 ment officials who are still unrecog
nized by the public, —Hartford New^s j
