Out of 750 Austrians in Servian Prison Camp Only 20
Can Stand on Their Feet; Doctors Helpless, Fall
Victims to Scourge; German Camp, Filled With
Allies, is Clean and Healthful in Contrast.
BY CAIT. K. X. IUKSBTT,
Coramlsnloner Id crlin for the British
Ked Cro Society.
NISir, Servia, April S. Here is the
picture of an Austrian prisoners'
camp. This is not a hos
pital, remember, but simply an
area where 759 Austrians have
been collected. Nevertheless disease
have fallen like a blight upon the
camp. At an earlier date one doctor
was in charge of this camp, but he is
now struck down by typhus. Typhus,
dysentery, smallpox, diphtheria, have
swept over the place. Last week only
29 men out of 750 could stand on their
feet
They lie in utter wretchedness. The
bulk of the sick men are stretched sut
on the muddy ground. Their clothes
are foul and alive with the vermin
which spread the deadly typhus. The
silence of the camp is broken only by
sighs and groans, bnt when a stranger
comes In sight the sick raise themselves
on their elbows. If they can. and cry
pitifully, "For the lo e of God, give us
water."
Dead and Dying Lie In Ileapn.
A recent visitor noticed a number e
recumbent forms covered with great
coats and found, on removing these,
that five out of the number were al
ready dead and had been dead for sev
eral days. There was nobody to re
move the corpses. Here and there some
poor wretch crawled on his hands and
knees to fetch a cup of water to a pros
trate comrade. This was all the "at
tendance" which was visible, and the
shocking condition oft the men and the
ground on which they He can be Im
agined. Can anyone be surprised to learn that
some 60 men die in this camp every
day?
Tank 'Wan Too Great.
Here is an English hospital which has
tried to do the impossible and failed.
Six doctors and II orderlies they had
no nurses took over the control of
some 1S00 sick and wounded. They have
fought a gallant fight against terrific
odds, but typhus has beaten them. At
this moment two orderlies are dead,
three have been invalided home, and
three are now laid low by typhus: two
doctors are suffering from the same
disease and one has gone home. Three
doctors and three orderlies are all that
remain on the active list, and the work
of the hospital has -had" perforce to be
temporarily abandoned. What could
six doctors do with ISM men?
Worse still are the conditions under
which the Servian doctors have labored.
The poor Austrian prisoners, the only
assistants the doctors have, there are
no Servian nurses, do their best, but
they are not trained orderlies. Take a
large Servian hospital which I know.
It is practically impossible to go near
it: so overpowering Is the stench in the
street outside that nobody who is not
compelled to approach the building can
bear to be In its vicinity.
Details of the Interior cannot well be
printed, but may be conjectured when
one mentions that foul rags and dress
ings and even portions of amputated
limbs are thrown over a wall and left
to the attention of erows an magpies
and. parish dogs. Similar refuse has
been thrown into the river.
Sixty-three Doctor Die.
Since the announcement of the war
S3 Servian doctors haie died In the
course of their unequal struggle with
disease. One young man of St years, a
medical student, lias died within a
stone's throw of my window. Two
British nurses volunteered to nurse
him. but it was too late. Before their
arrival, he was nursed by nobody except
a little Servian maidservant, and last
Friday night he escaped in delirium
there was nobody to look after him
and was later found lying on the muddy
road In the bitter cold.
So terrible have been the results of
this overcrowding that it seems doubt
ful whether In the long run more lives
may not be last than gained 1 r attempt
ing the impossible. Had hospitals now
containing 30 men refused admission
to more than 100 and taken every pre
caution that experience and science
furnished against dirt and vermin and
polluted air. the results actually
achieved by medical effort might have
been better. But what of the 209 men
excluded? No man, doctor or layman,
can leave a helpless soldier lying in the
street.

By A SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT OF
THE LONDON TIMES-.
BERLIN, Germany, jtprll S. On the
crest of a hill overlooking a broad
valley, 15 acres of flat land have
been enclosed by a wooden fence seven
feet high, surmounted by two lines of
barbed wire. The road on one side is a
main highway. Peasant carts, wagons,
motorcars and pedestrians pass by un
troubled by the fact that behind these
boards are more than WOO men of va
rious races and tongues, prisoners of
war. It is one of the German prison
camps, where English. French. Russians,
Belgians and Tnrcoa are detained.
The Quarantine Pen.
I was escorted through the camp by
an officer. -This Is the quarantine
pen, he announced to me, as soon as
we had entered. "We keep all newly
arrived prisoners here for a period of
four weeks, to make sure that they
have no diseases. There are S00 here
now."
Most of the prisoners in this "pen"
were civilians. Belgians, considered
unruly or insubordinate, who had been
removed from Belgium, were interned
promiscuously with the soldiers. I
noticed that they were all of the arms
bearing age. The "pen" itself covered
about an acre and a half of ground. It
is separated from the adjoining pen by
barbed wire about 4 feet high, loosely
strung, and bounded on all sides by a
path eight feet broad.
The camp is divided into 10 of these
"pens." Each contains four long, low
buildings, built of stained pine boards,
and standing on a brick foundation.
Each building accommodate 250 men
and is heated by 10 coke stoves, lighted
by electricity, and ventilated by win
dows. The sleeping mattresses are of
unbleached ducking, filled with "ex
celsior" or wood shavings two feet
thick, and placed on the floor.
Blanket! Are Scarce.
The blankets seemed rather scanty,
and most of the men. I was told, used
their great coats as coverlets. In the
center of the room are oblong tables at
which 12 men can sit comfortably for
meals and games. Outbuildings, con
taining kitchen, stores, lavatories, etc
are also provided, as is a hospital
building for light cases. All the build
ings are new and specially constructed
for housing prisoners.
After a cursory inspection, as the men
were out of their quarters at the time,
we passed to the adjoining pen. In all
respects identical with the first, the
buildings were more interesting, as
they were full of prisoners, chiefly
French, though with a sprinkling of
Belgians, and a few "black" troops. I
spoke with several of the men.
Man had been here for fosr or five
months, but they all were in good
spirits and optimistic. They asked me
whether the Russians were in Berlin,
and said they daily expected to hear the
boom of frfiendly guns
Dlaripllne 1m Good.
"All the dBscipttne is maintained by
their own noacomraisafansd officers."
my guide remarked. XiM3r have full
charge, tso foil resaniisWHtfi: If any
thing g&es wrong, a Tbofcout tenches a
bell, add then of course we take
action." He thereupon pointed to the
hatteries of artillery posted on ele
vated platforms at various points of
vantage. I also saw lookout towers in
which sentries were stationed, who
commanded a clear view of each pen.
By the time we had reached the sixth
pen we found the men getting their
noon-day meal. The food is prepared
and cooked by the prisoners. The chief
meal of the day is at noon, and -consists
of a big tin bowl of ma and potato
soup and a piece- of Hack bread. I
tasted the soua and . tt seemed very
palatable. For breakfast I was told the
prisoners receive coffee with sugar and
bread: and in the evening bread with
sometimes potatoes or other vegetables.
In all one pound of bread a day for
each man.
Each Pen Hax a Store.
Each pen has a "store." which Is
open at stated hours. A printed price
list of the articles sold hangs in front
of the booth. Soap, brushes, shirts,
towels. German dictionaries. and
French-English German grammars are
the chief items. No food, chocolate, or
tobacco is sold, but the purchase of
German grammars Is encouraged, and
the prices charged are ridiculously low.
I believe 6 cents.
"You see, we want the English and
French to learn our language, to under
stand ns better," my escort remarked
to me.
In one of the buildings I came upon a
group of British soldiers. Guardsmen,
tall, splendid fellows, far excelling In
the physique and bearing of all the
other prisoners. Except that they were
unshaven I believe they are not al
lowed to shave oftener than once a
fortnight they seemed remarkably fit.
and only complained that it was hard
to pass the time, bat otherwise they
were well treated. Questioned about
their food, they said it was good, but
one man spoke up. "We want more
bread." I was informed that the allow
an e was the same as that of the Ger
man soldiers

ACID STOMACHS
AND FOOD FERMENTATION
By a Stomach Specialist
As a specialist who has spent many
years in the study and treatment of
stomach troubles. I have been forced to
the conclusion that most people who
complain of stomach trouble possess
stomachs that are absolutely healthy
and normal. The real trouble, that
which causes all the pain and difficulty,
is excessive acid in the stomach, aj?-

elements acid and wind. In all such
cases and they comprise over 90 per

first and only step necessary is to neu

one to two tt a.spoonfuls of bi sura ted

formation was received from Buda

ter between one Austrian and three
Russian aeroplanes. The account is
to the following effect:
"The Austrian aeroplane succeeded
in mounting above its adversaries and
dropped a bomb which struck one of
the Rusaiap aeroplanes. The Russian
machine plunged 1500 yards ta earth.
The atmospheric disturbance caused
by the fall of the aeroplane upset the
other two Russian machines, causing
them both to whirl down to earth.
ENGLAND DENIES FALABA
STEAMER WAS ARMED
London, April 8. The official Infor
mation bureau Issued a statement today
saying that the British steamer Falaba,
sunk at sea March ;g by a Uennan sub
marine with a loss of OTer lee lives,
was not armed
It would have been nothing less than
a miracle, it Is pointed oijt, if all the
passengers and the crew of a good
stxed liner had been able to take to her
boats within the five minutes allowed.
"While some of the boats were still
on their davits." the statement declares,
-the submarine flreir a torpedo at the
Palaba at short range. This action
made it absolutely certain that there
must be great loss of life, and it must
have been committed knowinglv. with
the intention of producing that result."
