They are all sufferers, They are torn from home and friends and familiar habits of life and labor. They are under reâ€" straint and compulsion. They are upâ€" rooted and dislocated human beings." Dr. Van Dyke referred to the inter:â€" ment camps in Holland, where 30,000 Belgians, 2,000 British and about 100 Germans are interned. He pictures the model camps where these men live, and added that, while "some people may doubt whether modern Holland is hervic, no one can deny that she is patient and kind." "Of actual prisoners," added Dr. Van Dyke, "I saw something in the exchanges between Germany . and Great Britain of men incapacitated for further military service. All these exchanges took place through Holland, and. as American Minister, I was the medium of communication. Among the prisoners returned to Germany ifrom Britain I saw none who did uot‘ appear to have been well cared for and well fed. But among the British: pr&‘ sonmers coming from German there were many who were insane or affectâ€" ed with tuberculosis, or otherwise crippled by the hardships they had enâ€" dured. They all said the same thing. There was a vast difference in Gerâ€" man prison camps. Some were as good as conditions would permit, others were bad, indescribably, inexcusably, vindictively bad!

Waterloo â€" BOHLENDER‘S FINANCE COMMIFTE Considerable discussion took pl-n| at meeting of the Kitchener Council} Monday afternoon regarding the cutâ€"! ting of wood for fuel in the Stroh bush, | one of the woodland plots acquired by | the Park Board. The discussion 'ul brought about by the introduction of a motion made by Ald. Asmussen, see. onded by Ald. Lippert, to the ellecti that in view of the scarcity of fuel| the Council should put itself on record | as favoring a joint meeting with the Park Board for the purpose of dlmw’ ing the advisibility of cutting trees in Stroh bush and selling it for fuel to relieve the present situation. ‘The discussion ended by the mover | and seconder withdrawing the mollon! and the passing of a molion by Ald., McKay, seconded by Ald. Gofton, to| the effect that a committee, composed‘ of Ald. Sass, Her, McKay and Gofton be appointed to visit the bush in quesâ€" tion and report back to the Council at the next meeting regarding the corâ€" dition of the wood. Ald. Uttley was the principal opponâ€" ent of the movement to cut wood from the bush. He declared that the city has not too much park land now and that it could illâ€"afford to cut down any trees. He pleaded with the members of the Council to forsake any idea they might have of cutting down park land trees and send away for wood if the situation _ becomes _ stringent enough to warrant such a move. Should Cut Down Older Trees Ald. Bowman took occasion to reâ€" mark that reports of the Forestry and Streams Department say that trees that have reached a certain maturity should be cut down to make room for the younger growth. He stated that such being the case there could be no harm in cutting down trees to make room for younger ones, especially in times like the present when fuel is needed. Ald. ller stated that sooner or later _ the city would be forced to seek some C land to use as a cemetery and he M thought it would be no harm cutting ‘ wood in the Stroh bush if it were later on to be used as a cemetery. Ald. Lippert explained that, in sec onding the motion he realized that there is a stringent need for fuel in the city and that he also realized that thei Park Board is having difficulty llnnc-| }In( the land on the halfâ€"mill rate. He . stated that he thought the scheme f would provide a little extra revenue for the Board. He also declared that he would be against a scheme of deâ€" priving city park land of good trees. Ald. McKay‘s suggestion that a comâ€" mittee be appointed to view the bush |. in question to ascertain the quality of wood there and to report to the Cann‘ cil met with favor and was passed.

Ald. Zettel pointed ouf Khatiit was up to the Water Commission to keep the hydrants clear in ’ew of the fact that the city paid $20 isnh.l a year for every bydrant. Mayor Gross advised the Chairman of the Fire and Light Committee to get legal advice on the question. | Ten days in jail was the -ontenoe‘ handed out by Judge Reade Tuesday morning to Charles Hummel after he had found the latter guilty of perjury upon the evidence submitted. The defâ€" l endant was represented by A.B. Mcâ€" ’Brule and the Crown was represented by D.‘S. Bowlby. The case is an echo io( a case which rose last li‘_ebrnary . when John Gibson was found guilty ‘ of being drunk on the street and adâ€" mitted to having received his drinks 'In the Grand Centra\ Hotel. in {identiâ€" fied Hummel as the man who soid him lthe drinks and Hummel denied on the stand that he ever sold drinks to . Gibson. FOUND GUILTY Charles Hummel Sentenced .to Ten Days in the County A COUNTER l Charles Zuber was later _ fined in police court for a violation of the Onâ€" ‘ tario Temperance Act upon the eviâ€" ‘ dence of Gibson and the case was apâ€" pealed. The appeal was lost and at the appeal trial the Crown brought in Gibson‘s brothers and a friend named McDonald to corroborate the evidence of John Gibson. It was at these trials | that Hummell ‘doclared he had not |sotd any liquor to Gibson while the 'iCrown witness swore he was the man \who served them the drinks. |_ Judge Reade Tuesday morning after | hearing the evidence found the defenâ€" ident guilty and sentenced him to 10 |days in jail. The Crown pleaded for .elencncy and the attorney for the deâ€" fence asked for suspended sentence ‘bni Judge Reade stated that it was a | case in which he considered he was inot at liberty to give suspended sen: It is understood that a Sharge of peÂ¥â€" jury will be laid against John Gibbons as a result of today‘s trial. Gibbons in previous trial tried to . shield his brothors and declared that hbe was alone when he received the drinks. He admitted in his evidence this mornâ€" ing that he had comitted perjury.
