Russian, Held 30 Months in German Camp Tells of Brutal Treatment
NEW YORK, Jan. 22. Having been interned for thirty months in a German prison camp at Holzniunden until he was almost dead from starvation, Rubin Maurer, a Russian, arrived in this city several days ago with stories of the inhuman treatment of prisoners f war and interned civilians by Germans, and of the great shortage of food in the Central Empire. Maurer, who lost a leg in an accident when a youth, is 41 years old, and lived in Germany from the time he was 9 months old. Unable to speak Russian he was taken for a spy at the beginning of hostilities and interned, together with his German wife and 10-year-old daughter, though the latter were subsequently released. Several thousand French, Belgian, and English prisoners, as well as a good many allied civilians, were confined in the prison barracks at Halzmunden. Each barrack housed 126 persons, and a dozen pieces of pressed coal were allowed per day for a barrack. Forced to Steal Coal. "As a result," said Maurer. "the barracks were constantly cold and because of faulty construction the rain trickled in from the roof and the floor was covered with pools of water. Most of the prisoners became sick and rheumatism was a frequent complaint. Because of the cold we were forced to steal coal from the supply kept in the vicinity. Those who were caught were sentenced to spend five clays in solitary confinement on bread and water. "At the beginning we received about a pound of bread a day. MoBt of the bread consisted of potato flour, and was unpalatable. Twice a week we were supposed to get meat. Though entitled to ninety grams each we sel-j tiora got as much as that as the meat was appropriated by the German workers in the kitchens. The fish that we occasionally got was filled with worms, and we were unable to eat it. "The -English were treated worse than the other prisoners. They were given more work to do, and the officers and guards continually heaped curses on them with the frequent malediction: 'Gott Strafe England.' Once a German sentry saw me offer a cigarette to a British soldier, and be raised bis arm to strike me, but refrained when he saw my condition. Smoking was forbidden in the barracks, and I saw a guard lay open a Pole's arm from wrist to elbow with a bayonet because of an infraction of the rul?. "We were supposed to retire at 7 o'clock, but because of the intense cold we were unable to sleep and kept walking up and down most of the night to keep warm! The Spanish Consul at Hamburg, who was supposed to look after the welfare of the French and Russian prisoner?, used to visit the camp once a month. When he arrived a bugle would sound and we were all supposed to retire to the barracks in order not to acquaint the Consul with the manner of treatment afforded us. I have frequently seen French prisoners refuse to heed the bugle and line up before the Consul with their food i

A change in the character of the food would take place for a day or two, but afterward conditions would be the same as ever. "The civilian population ' of Holzmunden was frequently without bread, and I have seen the men and women of the town make a descent on the bread wagon carrying supplies for the prisoners, plunder it, and carry away the food meant for us." COUNTRY ROADS BEING CLEARED AT CENTERVILLE CENTER VILLE. Ind.. Jan. 22.Conditions are improving in this commun ity. The heavy drifts on the country roads have been cleared and roads are again passable. One of the men, Clayton Wright, a farmer, living seven miles southwest of here, took a snow plow and six horses and broke the road for seven miles into town, thereby making it convenient for anyone wishing to travel in this direction. Stores are not to be closed on Monday as was first ordered. Churches held services Sunday as usual owing to the fact that they were burning wood instead of coal.
