William A., Pinkerton, famous de-
- tective, accompanied by his secretary,
R. J. Black, arrived in Omaha Friday
morning after completing a three
" months' business trip.; Utj. Pinkerton
- is well past the three score and ten
- mark, but he stilt is as active in mind
.and action as he was 40 years ago
when he " captured " the , Molly
' ' Maguires.
Mr. Pinkerton spoke of the splendid
morale existing among the thousands
- of men at the different training camps
- , which he has visited recently, and al
: a of the srood treatment accorded
h the German interned prisoners. "Their
J -food is as good and wholesome as any
received by our own boys and -the-
general condition of the camps and
facilities , is first class i in every re-
. soect" remarked the veteran She1'
lock. "At the tamp- in Georgia which
1 1 rcently visited thfe prisoners were
w,f playing hand ball, and many of them
.: expressed a desire to remain in ens-
tody of Uncle aam m preference to
. n u. UV
"I believe we are too lenient with
' the prisoners, in view of our govern
' ment's motive to create a good moral
. effect .on Germany, m treating Amer
ican prisoners in Germany as kindly
i as we treat perman . prisoners over
? here. From. what I understand our
boys are being treated abominably at
. the hands of the Oermans, ne sam.
"Why not put these German prisoners
to ,work"the same as prisoners in
Germany have to do?
Only One End to War.
"There is only one end to this war,"
remarked Mr. Pinkerton, "and that
is the allies are bound to win." -
Major Allen. Pinkerton, a nephew
and co-partner of Mr. Pinkerton's, is
s- now in the United States army in
France with General Pershing, as
signed to special duty. Before his
' departure he was attached to General
: Mann's staff with headquarters - In
, New York,' where h was directing
