Germans Treated Well at Hot Springs. Statesville Landmark. A German »übject 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. Watching Tom Watson. The alleged activitiesof Thomas H. Watson of Thomson, Ga., are uuder close scrutiny of the l)e partmeut of Justice.

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.

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. ' Wines, $17,000,000.

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.
