 A recent letter from 8 prisoner con tained the surprising request to his relatives to write to him all they could about the war An examination of the writing showed, however. that the pris- oner of war had written exactly the opposite. and that his handwriting had been initiated in changing his tnjunc- ton.
 Similarly. he had written that let ters to him should be sent unsealed. This injunction, too. had been altered to read that his relatives might seal their letters, conveying tho impression along with the request for war news. that he was In Q position to receive uncensored communications
 The German authorities declare they are convinced that 1t was the inten- ton of the French government to se- cure. In this manner. military news of value, advance word of intended op- efations. troop positions and the like. They urge relatives. therefore to limit themselves in their letters to the harest ncedful information of a nonmilitary character.
