He said that trip was bet-, ter than this one,-so the friend could figure out for himself .how pleasant | ibis one was. Everybody thought this was a great idea, but unfortunately not all of us bad been in jail, so v,e could not all use it. * Which was just as well, we thought, because the Ger- muns would be. suspicious if all of us compared jthls vacation with others. A few; of the men did not have any body they could write to, und some did not know their friends’ addresses, so they would write letters to friends of the other men, und sign i^ with the friend’s nickname. As soon as a man had finished liis letter, he had to go out to the center of tlie camp, where they had built a raised platform. There the .sentries mk the letters, and the men formed around the square. There were oCU cers otv the platform reading the let- •nd them so that we would kmnvHhey were not tamper ing with the letteh**. und we thought the heaven would fitil^ if they' were getting so unktiltured ns that.

The Russians were given fur worse treat ment Mian any other prisoners. This was.for two reasons, as near as I could | make out. One .was that the Russian would stand most anything, wherrias the British and French could only baj goaded to a certain point, and beyontj that lay trouble. The other reason was that the Russians sent Gentian prisoners to Siberia, or at least, so the Huns thought, hnd Fritz hates the cold. So,’ k hating' the Russians, and realizing that they were used. to be ing under-dogs, Fritz picked- on them aid bullied them iu a way that the rest of us would not have stood.
