Germans Treated Well at Hot Springs.
Statesville Landmark.
A German ȟbject in the intern
ment camp at Hot Sprin », N. C ,
who before the war WHS an officer
on a Qerman whip, has written it
Washington official conveying the
thanks of himself and his com
panions for their treatment at the
cam p. "*
"I beg to be allowed," he wrote,
"to express my heartiest thanks
for your unlimited benevolence
toward me and my family and for
the troublesome efforts you under
go in my behalf.
"I also wish to state that all
without exception—are exceed
ingly satislied with the conditions
the United States arranged for us
at Hot Springs, and that this hu
mane, kiud treatment is also ap
preciated. The United States
authorities are treating us bet
ter than could he expected of any
other country except the United
States.
"All arrangements prove that
this country not only takes, lint
also acts according to the princi
ples of humanity and the words
of President Wilson when he de
clared that the war will not be
carried against the German peo
ple as individuals."
Kvideutly the Germans interned
at Hot Springs are wed treated.
Recently a correspondet>«- wrote
the ltecbrd com
plaining that they" were too well
treated. The correspondent said
they had luxuries such as were
furnished summer tourists who
paid high prices anil that the}
were so particular about their ac
commodations that they refused
to sleep two in abed. Possibly
the report of luxuries furnished
may be exaggerated. The Land
mark is inclined to think it i». If
it is true it should be discontinued.
Tlie prisoners should lie made
comfortable and given enough to
eat —good food—but they should
not be given luxuries—certainly
not at public expense.
The letter of the German pris
oner, however, is gratifyiug.
Abovh all thhigs, prisoners should
not. b«t starved and ill-treated,
lteports xrom the prison camps iu
Germany horrible cruelties:
Not ouly are prisoners practically
starved aud furnished miserable
quarters, but they are tortured.
German barbarism is no excuse
for us to follow their example, but
it's a pity the statement of this
German prisoner couldn't be setit
broadcast over Germany. It would
probably dO no good, but the Ger
niaiip ought to be shown the dif
ference between American culture
and German "kultur" as it applies
to the treatment of prisoners.
A statement from the Asheville
Times, whose owner is limited
States Marshal Webb, who ought
to kuow, denies that the Germau
interned prisoners at Hot Spring*
have made demands or that they
are given luxuries. It is stated
that their health is cared for aiid
their needs met.

Germans Drown Prisoners.
Thirty-eight members of the crew
of the British steamship Belgiin
Prince tfere drowned deliberately
by the German submarine which
sank her, according to the account
given by survivors- who ; have
reached British shores. The chief
engineer, who many times after tne
steamer was torpedoed was peril
ously near drowning, gave the fol
lowing narative of his experiences ;
"About eight o'clock on Tuesday
evening when we were 200 miles off
land, I saw the wake of an ap
proaching torpedo. The vessel gave
a lurch as she was hit and I was
thrown to the deck among the de
bris. The vessel listed heavily and
all of us took to the boats.
"The submarine approached and
shelled the vessel and then ordered
the omall boats alongside the sub
marine. The skipper was summon
ed and taken inside. The others
were mustered on the deck of the
submarine.
"The Germans removed the life
belts and outer clothing of all ex
cept eight of us, smashed the life
boats with axes and then re-enter
ed the submarine and closed the
hatches, leaving us on deck. The
submarine went about two miles
and then submerged.
'"I had a life belt. Near me was
an apprentice boy of 1J shouting
for help. 1 went to him and held
him up until midnight, but he be
came unconscious and died of ex
posure. At daylight I saw the
Belgian prince afloat. I was pick
ed up after 11 hours in the water
by a patrol boat."
The second emgineer also was a
survivor, and succeeding in reach
ing the Belgian Prince before she
blew up. The Germans came on
board and looted her, he reported.
He was in hiding, but finally jump
ed Into the sea and kept afloat in
the wreckage. The only other
knovn survivor is too ill in a hos
pital to tell his story.

mately $2,000,000,000 For War Ex
peneee.—lncreaee Taxee on Liquors,
j Beer, Wlnea, Profits, Etc.
Washington.—The war tax bill, un
der revision since May 24, was pat
into final form for report to the Sen
ate by the finance committee. It pro-
Tides for approximately $2,000,000,000
in taxes to meet war expenses, but
makes no provision for further bond
authorizations. The bill was Increas
ed $133,000,000 over the total as it
passed the House. About $327,000,000
was added during the last week be
cause of the latest war estimates.
Senators LaFollette, Gore and Thom
as a separate report advocating
higher tax levies.
The new increase of $327,000,000
over the committee's original draft is
distributed approximately among the
following additional leves:
On corporate incomes, $162,000,000.
Additional sur taxes on individual
incomes of $15,000 and over, $27,600,-
000.
Distilled spirits, $96,000,000. '
Beer, $12,500,000. '

War excess profits, $6,000,000. n
I Bank checks, $2,000,000.

two per cent above the oringlnal
House and committee program.
The increased surtaxes fall entirely

000 or above.
FEW EXEMPTIONS FOR
GOVERNMENT EMPLOYES
Postal Carriers, Clerk* or Laborers
Not to be Exempted.
Washington.—A ruling by the post
office department showß that the de
partment officials will make few re
quests for exemption from military
service. Postmasters are Instructed
not to ask for exemplton for carriers or
laborers or for clerks in second class
offices below the SI,OOO grade, clerks
In flrst class offices below the sl*loo
grade, or any above these grades un
less they are qualified distributors of
mall.
The ruling Is the first formal action
by an executive department In com
pliance with President Wilson's order
directing that department officials in*
icadet exemptions and that the re
quirement of indispensabillty be rig
idly enforced. As generally con
strued the postal ruling shows the
purpose of the administration ot make
the government departments leaders
in freeing valuable employes for war
service.
The entre mail carrier force, num
bering thousands of men, of whom a
considerable percentage are within
the draft age limits, Is excluded from
exemption unless tot physical reasons
tor because they have dependent fam>
illes. Every portion of the country
is reached by the ruling, as even the
rural carriers are included.
The department's ruling in regard
to clerks, leaves railway mall clerks
within the exemption class, as they
are highly specialised distributors.
Provost Marshall General Crowds*
took steps to reduce the number ef
exemptions because of dependent fam
ilies. Instructions were sent to the
governors of all states pointing oat
that the minimum pay of soldiers Is
now S3O a month and that local hoards
must consider whether a man's d»
pendents could not be supported a*
that amount.
