=218 GERMAN PRISON BLIGHT HINTED 860 British Released From Ruh- leben by Exchange Have : “Barped Wire Fever.” ‘PALL OVER ENTIRE COUNTRY' 'Report Few Trains Running, Stations ~ Deserted, Smoke From but Few Chimneys—Fuel Shortage in Germany Acute. London.—All England has beern stirred by the return of 360 soldiers ‘and civilian prisoners of war from Ruhleben, Germany, some of whom are fishermen who were surprised by the Germans in the North sea immediately after the declaration of war, and had therefore been prisoners almost from the first day of hostilities. 4 It'is not because of the storles they tell, for theig lips have been sealed so wn sufferings are con- tder of the government. The remark' of one of the civilians to an old friend who met the party—*“We are fairly all right, but we have all got barbed-wire fever”—is said to contain ‘the whole story. Englishmen know what that means, and there is nowhere any desire to reverse the government'’s ‘erder. Symptoms of Barbed-Wire Fever. “Barbed-wire fever is the nervous strain that is telling with increasing force—especially in the case of the old- er men, who cannot take so much exer- else—upon the hundreds of men who have spent over three years on that un- happy course,” says ‘the Manchester Guardian, “They were bitterly disappointed that the attempt of our government to abolish Ruhleben altogether by an ex- ehange, however it might advantage the Germans, came to nothing, and many of the.repatriated men are con- vinced that there may be an increase of mental cases-if Ruhleben continues much longer. You could see the marks of nervous excitement on many of the faces, and probably the reaction from being set free will be felt severely by the men of-more sensitive minds.” From a few of the civilian prisoners something ‘of the condition of affairs in Germany was learned—illustrations supporting the general impression, ac- cording to the Daily Telegraph, “that the war has entirely changed the con- ditions of life in the enemy country, which has ceased altogether to display that air of cheerful prosperity which characteri d the Germany of peace days.” g Germany!,,lt was sald, presented the appearance of a country “under a blight.” Germany Under Blight. “T was very much struck when trav- eling through the country,” sald one of the men, “with the dead look of ev- erything. Even In one of the great towns through which we passed there seemed to be little going on, and the railway statlons were almost entirely deserted. On the line between Span- lau and Hanover we did not see a single passenger train, and the goods traffic appeared to be quite negligible. The fields were devoid of cattle, and on the whole journey I saw less than a score of sheep.” Other men witb observant eyes had eome to the conclusion that the fuel rtage in Germany must be acute, beeause though the weather was bit- terly cold smoke could rarely be seen issuing from chimneys. Another thing that strur.’:l; them was the extent to whicki women are doing work on the railways. They were seen acting as firemen on locomotives and as plate layers. ENGLISH WOMEN DOING “BIT” Now Engaged in Forty Lines of War Employment in the British lIsles. London.—Those who have thought ¢hat the women of England might not have been,doing their bit in the prose- cution of ' the war were astonished when they entered the imperial war exhibition at:Burlington House to sce forty differént uniferms worn by wom- en in service. These show that wom- en are engaged as messengers, muni- tion and agricultural workers, nurses, etc., and that they are the pride of the girlhood of the country. Not satisfied with this showing the women managers of the exhibition have 1ssued an appeal to have women engaged in out of the way positions re- port, that their jobs may be added to the daily increasing lists.

MARCH 22, 1918 NEW FOOD RECIPES OF U.S. WON'T END OLD HOME STYLE COOKING Minneapolis, March 22.—The old home recipes, which means ‘‘mother’s cooking,” may continue in_ high honor in the John Jomnes, Patrick Flynn and Swan Peterson households —+the fobd administration regula- tions do not retire them. Elizabeth Nickerson, government food conser- vation specialist, says so. . Miss Nickerson holds out the prom- ise that standard recipes may soon be announced whereby housewives with their own favorite ways of cooking may simply adapt their tried and true formulas to the new re- quirements, substituting a little here and there for the customary wheat flour, sugar and fats. But the basis of it all will be the good old-fash- ioned recipes. 5 Easy to Conform to Rules. “We are working on the plan now,” Miss Nickerson said, ‘but it will take some time before we can be sure enough of results to announce them. We believe every woman who has cooked for a family has a cer- tain fundamental knowledge of cook- ery upon which she can readily build to conform with the food pro- gram for this country and the Al- lies.” ) SPEAKS TO INDIANS Rev.
