GERMANY FEEDING NEARLY MILLION
 PRISONERS DAILY
Problem of Making the Cap tured Pay For Their
 Keep is Grave One.

Berlin, March 25-How to take care of the hordes of prisoners of war captured by the German armies food alone costs for each man 50 Ecreasing problem with which the atu- thorities are wrestling.
 It is estimated that the list of pris- oners, including those captured in Field Marshal von Hfndenpurg's lat est victory in East Prussia, now ex- ceeds TOO, ,000 men. This involves an expense for the mere feeding of the captives of about $105,O00 a day.
 In every available way the men are being put to Work-on farms, on the roads, in Iron works and coal mines, and in clearing and retaining vast cfpa11y in the eastern part of the em- pire.
 Experience thus far has convinced the Germans that the Russians are far more available for this manual labor than the English or the French, themselves easily to the hard work to which the Russian peasants seem ed accustomed.
 One of the most important pieces of work on which the Russians are being employed in ever larger mum 900 hectares of unfruitful, waste land along the Leba River from Lauenburg to the Seba Sea- adjacent to the Bay of Danzig.
 Plans to accomplish this date back as far as the time of Frederick the Great, but up to the present have never progressed further than the partial strengthening of the river bed At the time of the outbreak of war some 60 hectares had been reclaimed Iby a force of 300 men, who stopped work when, the fighting started.
 Already 5000 Rusadans, in two camps. are at work draining the land and instituting improvements that In ciude Irrigation, blowing and plant ing of meadows. Through these pris- oners and others who will be added to the Tanks it is expected that the work so long delayed will be finish ed in record time.
 Thousands of the soldiers captured in the recent Hindenburg victory were put at work at once clearing the roads of snow and mud and, so great was the number employed that within a short time the highways were pass able everywhere in the rear of the German army.
 The German authorities likewise are rapidly making coal miners out of the Russian prisoners, and by this means are restoring the mines in up per silesia, Posen and other districts to their normal productfvity The PA1<SS4tO46 D S1&SSO CT A iron works and stone uuarries. They are only put to work in such places. however where they do not com pete with free labor.
 There are already a large num- Der of prisoners in the Ignite mines near BftterfeId, and thousands are al work constructing new chaussees principally in the east. Others are busy on road repair work.
 In the west of Germany where the French and English prisoners are in predomfnence various plans are un. der way already for using the men in agricultural pursuits so that crops may be planted. cared for and har- vested at the earliest possible time.

LuTEaRs OF STUDENTS TO
 HELP MAKE WAR HISTORY

Franfort, March 25-For the pIir- pose Of supplementing the routine history of the world War''-'yvElen the time shall have come for it to be written-with a coIorfuI account of tory at the University of Frefburg. is making a collection letters from university students in the field.
 Relatives Of such soldiers in all parts of Germany are being request ed, for this reason, to send to pr. Witkop copies of communications from the trenches. excerpts of which will later be reproduced. Prof. Wit kop believes that the SC war letters will form an epic supplement to the rich. lyric poetry of the conflict, the more valuable because of their spon- tenedty, color and ob5ectivenesss

EMBARGO ACT.

The first --embargo act'' of the United States was passed 121 years ago today. March 25, 1794, in retail ation against British interference interfereuca with American com merce. During the European wars of that and subsequent periods there was much interference with Ameri- can vessels. and the United States government sought; by prohibiting exportat1on to the warning coun- tries, to impress upon them the inn portance of the republic. The first embargo lasted only sixty days, and had little effect. In 1907 another embargo act was passed, directed against both England and France, which were then at war. It was hop cd that the shutting off of exporta- tons would force the European gov ernments to recede from their posi- ton, but the effect was ruinous upon American commerce. The embargo act of 1907 was supported by the agricultural popu1ation, but the New England states strongly opposed it. Threats of secession were made in the northeastern states, and in 1909 congress terminated the embargo. Many pro-German Americans have advocated the adoption of a similar
 measure in the present state of af- fairs.

the only formidable rivals that Brit ish shipping has to face. They have practically captured the trade of the west coast of America and to Brazil and Argentina In the last case they have hit the French so hard as to necessitate a subsidy from the French government
 What I wish to emphasize is that the British ppbltc's attention has too long been hypnotizad by the German navy. There is an obsession that this commercial aggressiveness is due to the growth Of the German navy. The boot is on the other foot. It is Ger man cornmerciaI activity that has created her navy and is swelling it to giant proportions. Our national de- fense has been directed to the wrong quarter. If the nation had backed uj our commercial shipping. as it has the navy, Great Britain would be more powerful. The German naval ensign accompa1ies her trade. Our flag follows ours. The fight for world supremacy is being waged by German ships and British ships on every ocean. The German national policy is summed up in the one word trade. She is driven to seek it by the growth of her industrial popula- tdon. The acute need Of finding and keeping outside markets for the products Of her workers has urged her to aggressi on.''
