FOUR MONTHS' SUFFERING IN A PRISON CELL

LIFE AT RÜHLEBEN,

CORRESPONDENT'S DASH TO DUTCH FRONTIER.

After almost a year's imprisonment in Germany, Mr. Geoffrey L. Pyke, Rentor's correspondent in Denmark as the out- break of war, has escaped and reached Amsterdam.

Shortly after the outbreak of war. Mr. Pyke left England to study economic con- ditions in Germany on behalf of the Daily Chronicle. He was arrested within a few days of his arrival in Germany, and afterwards only heard of in indirect

| ways.

A TERRIBLE INDICTMENT EARNED IN ONE YEAR.

In connection with the anniversary of the day on which Germany plunged the world into war, the “ Daily Graphic" published the following sample of the opinions which Germany in that year has won:-

SELF-CONDEMNED.

EMPEROR OF MURDERERS. The Kaiser has been likened to Nero, to Attila, to Herostrates, to Omar of Alexandria fame; but all these names are of too much honour for the instigator of child massacres, of the assassination of priests, of submarine warfare against passenger steamships, and of other crime without number. The namo fully earned hy the Kaiser is that of Fantomas the the prince of thieves and emperor of murderers.-M. Georges Olinet.

We escaped in broad daylight in the afternoon of July passing through a cordon of armed sentries and four tall barbed wire fences. Spending the night in an adjoining sandpit, we entered Berlin the next morning, enjoying our first real good meal for months with huge relish Bavoured by fear.
