Norman Thomas writes describing the brutal treatment of CO's in training camps: "Men were forcibly clad in uniform, beaten, pricked or stabbed with bayonets, jerked about with ropes around their necks, threatened with summary execution, tortured by various forms of the 'water cure.' In at least two cases men were immersed in the filth of latrines, one of them head downward...
