Correspondent Gives Impres
sions! Visit to Battlefield
of Somme.
Paris, Spt. 16. -A remarkaT&le
exploit was told here today of a farm
er's wife, Octavie Delacourt, in Lower
Normandy: At the height of the G?er
man. invasion she had started out to
walk through the woods to Gourney,
near Vanvais . While tramping through
the wood she suddenly felt a hand
clapped on her shoulder. She turned
round and saw a large, heavy man in
grey, with a round cap.
She had never seen a German sol
dier before, but thought this must
be one. Another appeard out of the
wood . They sid not a word, but
tourned her pound, and pointed to her
to go back along the road by which
she had come. She did so, but whei
out of sight turned back and ran north
wards again for ''all" she was farth.
In the first village she realched she
told the gendarmes; farmers, the post
mistress, and everyone she met that
there were Prussians in the Wood
near by, and was laughed at. At last
the postmistress, at her entreaty, tele
graphed the authorities, and at the
same time three gendarmes ' set out For
the wood.
The woman's infprmation approved
well worth listening to. A non-commissioned
officer and eleven German
soldiers were stopped and taken near
Oisell, just above Rouen. They had
set out in motor cars to" blow up Ois
sel bridge with explosives. The de
structioifof that bridge might have
fatally hampered the communications
between .the British Expeditionary
Force and the base.
The German cars were stopped
thanks to the presence of mind of the
territorials guarding the line, who
fired shots into the tires. One of the
cars was a truck containing a ton of
explosives.,
The three gendarmes who first, est
out on the trail discovered by the
were all killed.
Paris, Sept. 16. I have just re
turned from the battlefield of the
Somme impressed beyond words by
the impressions of the indomitable
courage and strength of the French
armies. Nowhere- has French army
organization reached such perfection! '
fts in fertile Picardy. Nowhere have
I seen such scenes of absolute destruc
tion. These battlefields present a
spectacle of violence and death which
can never be forgotten.
The German trenches, wonderful
works of military engineering, rein
forced with steel and cement, with
spacious bomb-proof shelters under
neath, have been destroyed and blown
into bits in a few hours, although it only a few, there- the1 cost of main- ""-" denression When the nasJ 5 a "snaro me manage

GIUEN PRISONERS
Terrible Conditions Said to
- ' Exist in Russian Prison
Camp.
Berlin, Sept. lSi-The semi-official
"Ndrddeutselie; Allgemeina Zeitung
publishes a statement v of Corporal.
Emil Lorenz, a . crippled war prisoner
who recently was, exchanged by Rus
sia" and reached his ; native town of
Kroeslin. .
He was badly wounded and captured
October 1, 1914. ! He spent four
months in different military fiospitals
where one of his legs and his right '
arm were amputated. In January,
1915, he was sent to the prison camp
of Novo Nilolavovsk near Gorodok.-
The conditions there were terrible .
The whole camp ' Was indescribably
filthy and disease claimedfrom thirty
to fifty victims daily. Between March'
15 and August 2, 1915, over 9,000 of
the 15.000 prisoners in the camp died;
At first the corpses were packed in
to boxes and buried in the snow out
side of the camp. Later they were
thrown into a stable where they re
mained until they were half , devoured
by rats . When the stable was full
quicklime was thrown over the bodies
to destroy them. The bones and other
undestroyed parts ware pulled out of
the lime with rakes and buried.
In the hospitals of the , camp the
sick prisoners had to lay on the bare
cement floors with no covering but
their cloaks . Nobody looked after
them and they received only the food
brought to them by their stronger
comrades. The men had to eat out
of buckets which were used as coal
hods. . ,.. '..
' On August 2f. 1915, the corporal was
transferred to Daurya, in Trans
Baikalia. In this camp conditions
were good and the commander tolerat
ed no burtalities toward the prisoners.
The statement of Corporal Lorenz
is confirmed in all details by Sergeant
Rudolph Grundmami who cays in an
affidavit :
"Shortly after my arrival in Novo
Nilolayevsk I was taken ill with ty
phoid. .1 tried, to go to th? hospital,
but dropped exhausted before the door.
Nobody paid any attention to "me and
I was almost dead when Lorenz and
two other prisoners found me and car
ried me into the hospital. Thes my
Clothing was taken from me and I had
to lay on the, floor , naked, although
it was bitter cold. Corporal Lorenz
and other comrades finally managed to
bring underclothing, a pair of trousers,
an old coat and a ragged blanket to
me saved me from freezing to death.
Although I was in the hospital six
weeks I only saw a doctor once and
I never received any medicine, but I
recovered, thanks to my iron consti
tution . "
