Seamen Subjected to Unbelievable Tortures by Captors Who Laugh At Their Sufferings. Horrible as are many of the tales which have been published of Ger- man brutality to prisoners of war, there are many others still more harrowing if they could only be print- ed. And the worst tales of all could be told of the Hun treatment of naval prisoners. Fortunately these prison- ers are comparatively few in number, but the Boche hatred of their enem- ies vents itself, for reasons which probably seem good to them, in great- est measure against the British navy. The firing by U-boats upon helpless crews struggling in the wa- ter or escaping from torpedoed ves- sels is nothing to their vile 'treatment ra-setamise?.pf prisoners taken at sea. I have been permitted to read some letters from English seamen which somehow have escaped the eyes of the German censors, says a war cor- respondent. Some of the stories one lug The Program Nowad o ys Is to Save Grape -Nuts food fits in fine with this idea. No fuel re- quired to prepare; no sugar needed; .there's no waste; and the use of bar- ley, in its making, conserves wheat. Sae -Nuts is economical) nour- ishing and delicious. Try a package. if would not dare to quote. They are horrible beyond description. The filthiest of stables . or vermin infested cow sheds are good enough for the "English swine" from the sea, who have been the means of bottling up the German -fleet and have stopped all commerce for Germany on the sea routes of the world. Guards Laugh as Men Die. Were it not for the parcels of food sent from England by the Prisoners' Aid Society they could not possibly live, asd even the best of that food often never reaches them. To com- plain is to risk punishment for in- subordination. Sentries and guards are encouraged by their officers to punish summarily, without any charge' or sending them up for court martial, which is always a farce any- way. And those sentries, who would seem to be men selected for their lack of feeling, are never slow in taking advantage of. opportunities that pre- sent themselves of inflicting the most inhuman tortures on their prisoners. Picture a cell catching fire. Pic- ture the prisoners beating on the bars for release. And picture the sentry, with sardonic grin, "sticking" them through the bars with his bayo- net. That is what actually happened to two men. And their deaths were officially recorded as having been due to asphyxiation. It recalls a story I recently heard in the American Y,M.C.A. Eagle Hut, which a wounded Canadian soldier told of- a brutal Hun who killed a helpless wounded English soldier by sticking his bayonet again and again into his body, laughing and gloating over the blood as it dripped from the blade. Forced to Make Munitions. The naval prisoners of war are forced to work in coal mines, labor for which they are totally unfitted. Dislocated wrists and broken limbs are not infrequently the result. But what do the German slave drivers caret The class of work, however, to which they delight in putting the na- val prisoners is the making of muni- tions. Naturally they rebel. But it is of no use; for refusal means for them one of the most terrible of pun- ishments, or tortures --"the tree"—a method of crucifixion which recalls the days of the Inquisition, when, af- ter being tortured by the rack until unconscious, the unhappy prisoner was revived to go through the torture all over again. Here is how the punishment of "the tree" is described in plain and sim- ple language in a pl.'isonor's letter home, and which is vouched for by others who know as being' a quite un- exaggerated pictures "A big party of Uhlans rode into the camp and surrounded the Mori (who had refused to work on muni• tion malting), and started pushing and shoving them about and digging them with their rifles. )She officer in charge, who could speak . English, told the men that they were only prisoners of war, that they would have to slut up with what they could get and do as they were (mdered, He gave them five minutes to get to work or he would order them to be shot, 'Pito "'fifes" Punishment, "The Tien were 1itol'ally gtarving, --..,ee...11 so that nearly all gave in. They were marched back to work, which they had to do with nothing to eat until eight o'clock at night. "But thirty-four men remained on the parade ground, refusing to make shells to kill their own people. They were not shot, but far worse. The officer sent them into the wood and ordered them to be tied to trees. Some were tied up, crdeifix fashion; some were hung by one leg or one arm; some were made to stand on stools while their hands were tied to trees above their heads, Then the stools were kicked away from under them, and they were left hanging at the mercy of the mosquitoes, and the sentries who came around prodding them with their bayonets. "After a time the German captain came round to view his glorious work. Finding one of our fellows in a faint, he raised his head and punch- ed him in the face. Then he ordered him to be cut down, and he fell in a heap on the ground. Left lying there till he came to, they tied him up again. 'After two hours of this treatment the prisoners were marched back to camp and put in a barn without either food or blankets. For three days this treatment of `the tree' was continued. The men were slowly dy- ing of agony until we saw there was no use for them to stick to it any longer; so we advised them to give in,,as they had done their best and it was no use going through all such unnecessary torture." Increased Acreage in West. Ample evidence that the farmers in the great grain growing areas be- tween the Great Lakes and the Rockies are responding whole heart- edly to the government's appeal for increased production, is contained in a detailed report of farming opera- tions in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta received.a+t the head office of the Canadian Northern here to -day. It is pointed out that the late fall in 1917 and the early spring of this year have compensated largely for* any shortage in farm labor at this critical time. Recent reports to the Canadian Northern indicated that the new breaking along its lines would be between three-quarters of a million and a million acres, and that sufficient fall ploughing had been done to facili- tate early operations this year, The report just in from 236 points, shows that up to the week ending April 17th, there was pronounced activity throughout all districts served by the lines of the Canadian Northern in the west, The condition of the ground was given as good, there being not a single complaint- in respect to the state of the soil, Brown sugar hakes deliekuo fudge, Try all the new war dishes -you never oat UM what you will like.

The Cause of Many of the Phepoatena of Nature. Dust, the bane and the annoyancle of the careful housewife, and the cause of disease, has other properties of a far less condemnatory kind, Which Nir, W, C. Dumas explains in the Illustrated World, A closer examination of the pheno- mena of duet,' he says; will convince us that it is neceseary, Duet, of course, exists everywhere, even at great heights in the air. Atmospheric currents carry minute partielea as high as twenty-five or thirty miles and keep them eonstantly moving here and there. Perhaps many of us have wonder- ed why the sicy is blue and the sunset red and golden, and we would not at first think that these phenomena are owing to dust. The blue color of the sky is .caused by dust, which very high up, reflects and refracts the short, blue waves of light above us. Were the dust not there the sky would appear black, When the sun is near the horizon, either at sunrise or at sunset, we see beautiful red, orange and golden col- ors. We look through dense strata of atmosphere near the earth, which are filled with the larger particles of dust, These reflect the longer rays of light to us. The smaller particles first reflect blue leaving yellow; then the coarser dust reflects green, leav- ing orange; then still coarser pieces reflect orange and yellow; leaving red. Banks of clouds often intensify the colors by reflection from their un- der surfaces. The absence of dust from our at- mosphere might cause more serious troubles than depriving us of blue sky and beautiful sunsets. In a dust- less world, rain would seldom fall in sufficient quantities to maintain plant life, ani evaporation would be rapid, aiding the formation of moisture - laden air and of arid tracts of land.
