The following stories are taken
from records now being compiled by
the Canadian Government regarding
the treatment of prisoners in German
campe:—
Pte. A. 3. Debenham, 4th Canadians,
was captured June 2nd, 1916. He was
put to work at the Babcock and Wil -
cocks boiler works. Qn one occasion
his work did not satisfy the authori-
ties; and he was ordered to db two
hours' overtime. He refueed, and was
4ttacked by a sentry with his rifle and
by a sergeant with his sheathed sword.
The civiliau overseer seized him by
the throat and kicked him about the
body, laying hizn out.
At 4.50 o'clock one Sunday morning
in April, Pte. P. Ferns, of No, 2 Cana-
dian Tunnelling Company, was order-
ed to do the work of a German civil-
ian as well as his own, and he re-

was struck on the back with a hares-

did another twenty-eight days for dee

he was going to be medically ex-

the guards snatched the kilt and
threw It out of the window. A pair of
trousers was then giveh him.

1738, the fifth in 1698, the fourth and

The treble was cast probably at the
end of the thirteenth or the beginning
of the fourteenth century, and must.
therefore have rung out to celebrate
the great victory over the Spanish Ar-

It is interesting to dote that the
Whitechapel Foundry, which bas been

been entrusted with the restoration
work and the casting of the new belts.

'The War Ribbon.
Perhaps few have heard what the
colors of the British medal ribbon of
the Great War are to be, says ".A. Lon-
doner" in the Evening Standard. One
who has seen the design practically
decided upon describes it thus:—
There is 'a broad. centre of bright
orange color, and on each side from
the centre outwards are thin stripes
of white, black and royal blue in that
order. It is said that the effect is very
good indeed, is unlike any other med-
al ribbon, and looks well on any. uni-
form.
