LIFE IN GERMAN PRISON CAMPS
Lucknow Boy Writes off' 'Brutal%iee Suffered
Through Four Long Years
Many of our older readers will re-
member Mr. Donald Ewen Cameron, at
one time a banker in- Lucknow; and
others will remember his son, Bruce
Cetueruu. This Bruc Ce heron was un -
)t tuuate enoughqa,be to Germany,
euuil,letiug his inimical educt tion when
war broke out in early August of 1914
He was arrested and imprisoned and
during the four eventful years of the
war he endured all the horrors of life in
a German prison camp, being i Waisted
only after the Armistice was agreed to.
,Mr. C tmeron esei nephew of !M.rs. W. J.
I:ittle, of town, and•since he -gained his
liberty he has written a number of let-
ters to Mr. and Mrs. Little. ' Oae of his
letters written from Mamaroneck, New
York, on January 24 gives a vivid des-
criptic n of the way in which he and
• other prisoners were treated in Ger-
many, and as we are sure that it will
snake highly interesting reading, not
only to those who vere acquainted with
the Cameron family but to others, we
.. reproduce it here. After:the opening
paragraph it reads':
Oa Sunday afternoon, November 8th,
1914, I was arrested -by a criminal de -
Waive on a charge of having used lan-
guage uncomplimentary to Germany in
- August, three months before. Of course
I bad forgotten all about it by that time.
What seemed to worry the police the
:_- mest was that they badn;t.,known about
1U -before, but they inisd= up for it. 'I
was kept in the Dresden jail until the
27th of November, when I was taken to
13sutaen, a town about 50 mires east,9f
Dresden I was han led over to the
authorities there. This prison was
where the moat dangerous criminals
were kept up to fifteen. years. I had
the "pleasure" of making the acquaint -
mice of a few murderers. The first two
weeks 1 bad solitary confinement on
bread and water, and I can tell you that
it was the longest two weeks I had ever
lived through. Then they allowed me
to go out for a short walk in the prison
yard, up and down a peth about eighty
yards long. There were three soldiers
outside at the same time, one at either
end of the wslk and the third some-
where near the middle. Why they were
there I don't know as it was impossible
to escape. The wall around the court-
yard was at least 20 feet high and out-
side there were always sentries, in fact
I believe aoldiers patroled the top of
the wall at night. -
Oue mau I met, a young Australian,
contracted consumption through the bad
treatment he had received at Leipsig.
- I used to bandage his cheat every ingot
with cold compresses to keep the infiam-
macion dowr. Nobody else would lift a
finger to Help hint. He -was finally sent
to a hospital at Chemnitz About a
mouth later when the hospital author-
ities found out that he was British they
rook flim bed and all and thr sw hits in
the street. This treatment brought on
a violent fever. He was taken and
nursed through it by a Canadian family
and was allowed to go to England with
•
this family in the early part of 1915.
He was put in a hospital on the south
coast of England and died four months
later. The doctors in the English hos-
pital said that be might have lived ten
years bad he had proper treatment from
the start.
I also met some Russian students
there. They had been studying at the
engineering school at Plauen. They
had been in prison there before they
came to Bautzen. One of tbem stood
on a stool and looked out of the window.
He was 'hot dead by a sentry outside.
Nothing had ever been said that to to ►k
out of the window wee a crime. Later
on another one of the Russians com-
mitted suicide by jumping over the rail-
ing at the fifth floor of the courtyard
where there was a ateercas.i pn the out-
side of the building When the rest
arrived at Bautzen they were a very ill
!coking lot of men.
Our day was a9 follows: We had to
be up and dress ed at 6 30 Our break-
fast consisted of a bowl of something
,that looked like coffee but certainly
wasn't. At noon we received our day's
'bread ration, just about enough for one
siieal, besides that we had a kind of
"up, generally cabbage but very often
turnips—the- kind we feed to animals

they were fed the same as the Fren
civilians in the occupied territories
"Too much to die on and not enough

After two weeks of solitary confin
went I was made to work. I mad
whip lashes for a time until my han
wouldn't stand it any more, and then
was made to work on a button machin
This kind of work I did till the 5th
February, 1915, when I was taken bac
to Dresden. I stayed iu the Dresde
jail three days and on that date left i
company with 26 other Colonials at fiv
o'clock in the morning with a militar
guard for Berlin. We arrived in Berli
at about one o'clock took a ride tbroug
Berlifi:packed fin o '`black mamas" lik
sardines to the other station *here w
bad to wait two hours for a train
Ruhleben. While waiting I began
get hungry. I saw a Red Cross Nur
and calling her over I asked if it wa
possible to get anything to eat. Sh
said no that it• was forbidden to giv
anything to prisoners, and that from
woman who was suppoeed to belong to
a civil:zed race She brought coffee an
rolls for the soldiers but they were s
afraid of being caught that they woul
not give any of it to u9 although the
had more than enough for themsely
We finally left ;for Spandau, got off a
the station and had aq hour's walk in
the mud to Ruhleben. We arrived a
.about 1 o'clock in the afternoon on th
8th of February, 191b. and retrained
there until the 22nd of November, 1918
Ruhleben is a race track used before
the war for trotting races. There were
at that time 11 stone barracks, besides
three grand stands and a teahouse, used
for afternoon tea. Besides that there
were two large wooden buildings used
in peace time as dressing rooms and
weighing , in rooms for jockeys, etc,
These two large buildings were used
during our internment by the wache
(guard), officers, officers mess, and one
room was used as a hall where prisoners
could buy an expeusive meal, also var
ions drinks, the prices of which were an
high that the officers, who took the pick
of the food first. usually had their meals
for nothing. That is that the profits
were more than enough to pay for the
officers' meals and also a generous sup-
ply of wine. Only prisoners on the
doctor's list and camp workers (men
who did jobs about the camp) were al-
lowed the use of the hall. In each stone
barrack were 27 stalls and two roomP.
In one of these rooms soldier% lived, in
the other our own captain, a prisoner
who acted as our mouthpiece when
there was any business with the militia.
There were doors at each end of the
stone barracks connected by a long cor
ridor with the 27 stalls and the two
rooms on either side. There was also a
middle entrance, a short hallway which
joined the corridor. The stall doors
were of wood reinforced with steel (this
was to. protect the doors should the
horses kick). They opened on wheels
to the right or left as the case might be.
The walls of the corridor, that is the
inner walla of the _ stalls did not reach
the ceiling There was a space of about
four feet from the top of the inner wall
to the ceiling, so a man in the corridor
could easily speak to a man in the stalls
without going in. We called these
stalls boxes. Upstairs were two loftsor
divided by a partition and a dohalf-
way from each end,, used for tray, but
now a residence for Englishmen during
their internment. In each box (just big
enough for one horse) %ix men hid to
est, sleep and wash, and the lofts were
crowded with men in the same fashion.
In fact, in the beginning wherever there
was room in the lofts for a straw sack
one man was put.
As the Gamine arreeted over 5000
Englishmen a11. ver Germany and these
men were swim g in lots of 50a and
100s every day at uhleberr, and when
you consider that no arrangements had
been made for such a numbsr, you might
be able to realize the chaotic condition
which resulted. These men, outside of
1500 seamen (men from British ships
who happened to be in German ports
when the war hew), Were from all
walks in life, bankers, profess Es, stud-
ents, teachers, waiters, etc , ranging in
age from IR to 70, and there was one
who was at least 80. At the beginning
we had to sleep in and on the grants
stands, in fact anywhere that there was
88 a roof. The men alipt at first on the
16 00 floor of the boxes generally ten men in
each. Through the "kindness" of the

Petitions and By- La.wiiD R M cl )or
aid (Tiverton); House of Refuge, 1). A
McDonald (Kinloss); Warden, C. E
Wicher (Albemarle)
Tuesday afternoon was entirely taken
up seeing deputations from the 1 M C.A ,
the Navy League of Canada, the'halva-
tion Army asking grants, and from the
W.0 T U. and Women's Institute asking
that steps be taken for the care of the
-feeble minded and for the P ppointment
of Public Health Nurses. A delegation-
from
elegationfrom the Bruce Preparedness League
also addressed the Council in regard to
the work of the League.
The Inspector of Court Houses called
attention to the defective ventilation of
the Court House. This was referr d to
the prope:ty committee, who will try to
have improvement.made.
Messrs. Hugh McLaren and W. J.
Taylor were reappointed Auditors, and
Messrs A. E McNab and Norman Rob-
ertson reappointed Auditors of criminal
Justice accounts.
The usual grants were made to Agri-
cultural Societies, Public Libraries,
Women's institutes, Board of Agricul-
ture, 'Teachers Institutes and Assisted
Schools.
A petition was presented for the in-
corporation of Allenford as a police vil-
lage, but owing to some rrregularittes it
was referred to the June Session.
After much discussion grants were
made to the Navy League o; $10,000. 00,
the Salvation Ariny for $10,000 00, and
the Y.aiC.A. War Work for $5,;10000.
A large deputation of ladies from the
Bruce W C T U. and Women's Institute
was present asking .the Council to peti-
tion the Government to provide better
care of the feeble min -led, fcr better
medical examination in schools and as
to Public Health nurses. After hearing
the able arguments presented by the
ladies the Council passed the resolutions
requested. -
High School Trustees were appointed
as follows: Port Elgin, Hugh McLean;
Kincardine, J. C. Cook; Chesley, C. E
Boose; Walkerton, H. McLt ay; Wiiirton,
J. H. Davis for usual term. and S. J.
Cameron to fill place of Mr. Wm. Becker,"
resigned.
The usual grant of $125 00 was made
to the Township of Lindsay and St.
Ejmunds.
A Commission was appointed -to act
in conjunction with the Bruce Prepared-
ness League re settlement of soldiers on
lands in Ontario, and of $2,000 00 ap-
propriated to pay expenses contracted
therewith; all accounts to be passel by
the Committee.
The Council was notified that the.
Highways Department of the Govern-
ment had agreed to designate the Elora
Road from the south boundary of the
County to the town of Southampto i
and the Saugeen Road from south
boundary of the County through Kincar-
dine, Port Elgin and Allenford to the
boundary of Bruce and Grey, thence
along the boundary to Wiarton, thence
up to..Lion's Head, as Provincial County
Highways. This means a considerable
part of the County Good Rads System
has been so adopted and wil; be entitled
to a Provincial subsidy of 60`)e,' of the
cost of both maintenance and construc-
tion instead of a subsidy of 40% for cen-
struction and 20% for maintenance as
under the County system. The stand-
ard of construction required in such
roads is somewhat higher than under
the County Highways only, The in-
creased subsidy will make a material
differen,,e to the County' in the cost of
building the roads.
The County Highway Committee was
reappointed and were given very defin-
ite instructions to proceed with the
work. It is hoped that with the end of
the war, it will be possible to obtain
machinery and labor this year, the lack
of both of which very n•aterielly hinder-
ed the work last year. The levy for
County Highways this year was fixed at
two mills.
The usual number of accounts were
presented and roads and bridges pro-
vided for.
Council adjourned Friday to meet at
Wiarton on Monday, the 2nd of June
next.

In The Wrong Pocket
An incident occurred in Lorne rink
on Saturday which likely has resulted
in ' the hardening of somebody's heart
and the conviction that there is at leant
one dirty thief in the world. But that
conviction is wrong and the party re-
ferred to will yet change his mind and
believe that there is at least one honest
boy in the world.
Among those on the ice was a devotee
of the "fragrant weed" and this chap
after tilling his pip : or rolligg his cigar-
ette (or coffin nail as some call it) care-
fully folded up his rubber tobacco pouch
ar►d ,then carelessly put _it i,n.ehe pocket_
of an overcoat which did not belong to
him. Of course, when he later put on
his coat and discovered that the tobacco
pouch was missing he concluded that
somebody, was enjoying a smoke at .his
expense. That's just where he was
%%rung. He luckily put his tobacco in-
to the pocket of an honest boy who
doesn't smoke and who has no notion
of learning. Had ho known how to
roll -cigarettes' he might have acted
otherwise, but as it was he brought the
pouch and tobacco to THE SENTINEL
Office knowing that Timm; SENTiNEi. is a
great institution for getting the lost and
the loser together again. He was
t, and if the ,owner of the -pouch
will call this way he will get his prop-
erty without money and without price.
