GERMAN REPRISALS
Claim That Prisoners Have Been II
Treated by France.


Berlin, July Z, (yia London July 81
Reports of continued unsatisfac-
tory treatment. of German prisoners
of war by the French have resulted in
the German governments adopting
further retaliatory measures in an eff
fort to obtain better conditions for
them.
The case foremost in public atten-
ton here is that of the German cav
airy patrol, headed by Lieutenant
Won Schierstadt and Count Strach-
wutz, who were caught behind the
French lines in the retirement from
the Marine and sentenced to five
years in the penitentiary for appro-
priating the food on which they lived
during their three weeks of wander
ings before they surrendered. Lieu
tenant Won Schierstadt's sentence
provided that he be transported to
the penal colony in French Guiana
The members of the patrol, despite
all efforts to change this sentence,
are still confined in the military peni
Tertiary at Avignon, it is reported
and are treated the same as French
military criminals. Lieutenant Won
Schierstadt is said to have gone in
sane under the treatment and to have
been sent to an asylum.
Six French officers today were
transferred in retaliation to the mill
tary prison at Spandau. They will
receive the same treatment as the
patrol members until the latter are
treated as regular prisoners of war.

BIG BLACKBERRY PATCH
Forty Acres Cultivated on One Ken
lucky Farm


Blackberry growers are beginning
to harvest the crop, the first ship
ment to Louisville having been made
yesterday. The largest patch in the
South is in this county, being 40
acres. The owners began several
years ago with four acres and have
gradually increased it to 40. One
hundred pickers are required daily
during the busy season. The berries
grown in this section are regarded as
superior to those grown in the West,
which are big and soft, while these
here are firm and well colored The
variety is the Eldorado. Representa-
tives of the experiment station at
Lexington visited the patch while in
bloom. Experts from the Washing
ton agricultural department have al
so made several trips to see the work
of the farm. A few years ago the
preserving companies realized that
wild berries were becoming so scarce
they urged the farmers to cultivate
blackberries as they would other
crops.-Louisville Courier Journal

NEW LAYOUT FOR CONGRESS STREET
 WIDENING LIKELY
Special Meeting of Board of Appraisal will Consider
 McCarthy Property

Unexpected delay kaas arisen in cne completion of plans of the board of aldermen for the widening of Con- gress street. For the purpose of rec ornnending aAnew layout of the street lines, the board of appraisal of bene- fits and damages will have a special meeting this evening and their report will be presented to the com mon council at its meeting on Mon day evening.
 The board of appraisal has found, alter it's hearings on benefits and damages that the property at the northeast corner of Main and Con gress streets, under the present lay out, will be reduced to little more than the width of a. brick wall.
 This Is the property owned by Jas. and Abbie Mccarthy. It is occupied by a saloon There is a frontage of 52 feet on Congress street, and 1z feet on Main street The proposed new norther1y Line of Congress street would be 10 feet north of the Me- Carthy's southern bouIid line, and would leave a strip of only about 2 feet fronting on Main street for the Mccarthy tract.
 The assessment of benefits and damages relative to the Mccarthy property and the Berger property di- rectIy north, is an intricate problem, that the board of appraisal hopes to obvfate through either including all the Mccarthy property in the widen ing, or leaving larger strip that might be put to practical use

BERLIN REPORTS
 NORMAL CONDITION
 IN LABOR MARKET
Government Orders Keep Foundries Working Over
 time-Wages Are Higher.

Berlin. April 2.-The latest govern ment summary of conditions in the labor market shows that further inn proNement was registered in January. In a total of 1,240,o0O workmen or ganized in 35 branch associations the number of persons without employ ment was only 6.5 per cent. as com pared with 7.2 per cent inDecember.
 The percentage of unemployed for January varies but little from previ- ous years and is regarded as quite satisfactory for the mid-winter month
 Similar reports were, sent in by the public employment bureaus. Near the end of last August these had 15O,- 622 more applicants for work than they could satisfy, but on February IS the number was only 1897. On the other hand, there were on the latter date 21,983 applications of em-
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1915-04-02

pIoyers for help that could not be filled, as against only, 4,419 in Au- gust.
 Some of the details of the govern ment summary are interesting. It is mentioned that iron foundries are working overtime and at night on government orders, and that steel and rolling mills are also in part work ing over time. Some branches of the
 machinery trade, like locomotive steam engine and boiler shops, also establishments for building bridges and other iron construction and rail way cars, were all very busy. E1ec- tricaI manufacturers were also work ing hard on dynamos, motors, and other supplies for the army; and the big chemical companies were run ming some of their departments to their full capacity. A higher ten dency for wages was reported.
