The cases relate principally to the employment by the enemy of prisoners on military work immediately behind the front. Many have been killed by shelldfire. The treatment generally is abom- inable. Numbers have been starved to death, Others reach Germany in a dying eendition, their bodies so wasted by unremitting toil, disease, and insufficient food that they are described by British soldiers who have seen them as walking skele- tons. Cases are known of men who weighed 170 pounds when captured and who dwindled to half ' that 'weight after a few months. The refinement of cruelty is to employ these helpless men in re- mioving the debris of amntunition dumps partly exploded by British airmen. The work is too danger- ous for the Germans to undertake themselves, deaths from exploding shells being, numerous. The un- happy prisomers are subjected to every insult of which their. brital captors are capable. They are not reported until, as worn-out wrecks, they reach Germany, if they ever do 80. The Hun méthod is to work them until they are incapable of any further effort. They ave then sent to camp much as an old horse goes to the knacker§' yard. As a rule the strongest and youngest men are selected: for this work and are driven until they drop. 'When wounded they are sent to hospitals which are a disgrace to the name. Thes prisoners are not only unreported. but have no - munication with their friends In England. If sometimes they get these missives never reach their destination. To hide their misdeeds the Ger- they arrive in Germany. - DPR.

Every officer who hag not been overseas and fallen in category, below the medical stand- ard necessary for overseas service is to be given the ultimatum to resign or ge ['over there." This comes as a movement which the Union Gov- ernment military authorities have startefl--and which will mean that all through the Dominion there will be an overhauling of the staffs so that 'all unnecessary material with- out regard to mental standards and with regard only to physical condi- tions will be put into their proper places for the war. It is not con- 'sidered just to the returned officers and men to have physically fit offi- cers and men holding down "'couchy" jobs.' A reorganizatibn of the artillery is now going on'since the return of the depot batteries to the city. Kingston will be the headquarters for all artillery in this military dis- trict. There will be here what is known as No. 3 Artillery Depot, and for both training and administra- tive purposes ewerything will. be handled through that depot. For some time past, in fact since the for- mation of thé depot batteries, 'there hag been a mix-up over the control of the artillery men. The authori- ties have tried in various ways to organize it but nothing has been altogdther satisfactory. In all pro- bability the new establishment will overcome the defects hitherto ap- parent and remedy existing condi- tions rnght at the outset of the winter training. .

The patrons of the. Grand received a real treat last' evening when Vitagraph fivéceel feature, "The Princess of Park Row" was shown to a capacity house. the beautiful and talented star, had were many old and well-known Vita- many others. As the title would sug- gest, the plot dealt with the doings of a young girl in the most popular part of New York city, that is, Park Row. Her adventures were all clear- ly shown, and some of them exciting and interesting enough to keep the watchers spellbound from title to tailpiece Other features on the bill were the Pathe News, the best Lonesome Luke comedy shown in some time,.and other good reels. Gor- don and Ryan with their singing and talking act kept the audience in con- stant' applause. None should miss this show, when it will be repeated to-night and Wednesday matinee only for the last time. i . At the Strand. The programme at the Strand last evening consisted of two of the most enjoyable photoplays shown here in some time. Mae Marsh, in "Maney Mad," is a vehicle that is somewhat Marsh's produétions, In it she takes the part of a, young lady "mystic," and with the aid of her lover, they un- ravel a mystery that hinges around the disappearapce of her fortune, and also proves the innocence of$ her sweetheart, who has been accused of the murder of her father. For the added attraction Irene Castle in the "Mysterious Client," shows some real "pep" and action, a photoplay differ- ent in every respect from the ordinary type of Castle productions. There are some very good comedy features | attached, giving the audience surprise { finishes Also the sixth episode the "House of Hate," starring Pearl White, entitled "Liquid Fire," and for the 'benefit of those who are following this exciting serial, all we will say is that it is "some episode." At Griffin's, Supported by dainty Louise Huff, Jack Pickford, the popitlar screen star, scored a decided hit at Griffins last night when he was seen in his new photoplay "Sandy." This pic- ture is a story of life in Kentucky, and has to'do with the fortunes of a young Scotch immigrant and Ruth Nelson, a charming Blue Grass belle. This is the last photoplay in which Jack Pickford will' be seen during the re- mainder of the world war, which lends additional gtfractiveness to the pro- duction. "One cannot help liking this romantic story of the Sunny South. The photoplay is filled with thrills and abundant comedy. In conjunction with the above is shown Mary Miles Minter in "Birds That Prey," her newest production, and one which shows the beautiful little artist's tal- ents to exceptional advantage.
