New York, Aug. 11-More than 81
100000 prisoners are now confined in
prison camps of the belligerent ma
tions, according to DR.. John r. Mott,
general secretary of the international
committe OF the Young Mems Christ

from Copenhagen. DR.. Mott left here
in May for Russia and has visited the
prison camps of nearly all the coun-
fries at war.
DR.. Mott said that of the prisoners,
Germany has the greatest number aD-
proximately 1,750,000. Russia, with
about 100000, comes next, then AUS
tria with 100000 followed in order by
France, Italy Great Britain and Tur-
key. Russia's prisoners he added, are
rapidly increasing, more than 100000
having been added TO the camps since
the beginning of the last Russian drive.
In six weeks, DR.. Mott added, 100000

exaggerated. In all of the countries the
prisoners receive virtually the same

spectiye countries do. Everything pos
sibe is done for their comfort and
their health.
I'VE have forty-hve American secre-
taries working among the various arm

shortly. We have been accorded all
the cooperation and assistance we
could reasonably expect by all the
countries except Turkey where, as

New York, Aug. 11.-Whether the
leaders of 100000 employees of the rail
roads of the country will make good
their threat of general strike un-
less their demands for an eight-hour
day and time and half for over time
are granted by the managers of 235
railroad systems probably will be
known tomorrow, il was learned here
tonight from an authoritative source.
The only hope of peaceful settle
ment apparently rested tonight upon
the possibility that the men might be
induced TO accept a new form of arbi-
tration although thus far they have
steadfastly refused all such proposals.
Their chief objection to arbitration
has been lack OF representation upon
any of the boards provided under ex-
isting statutes.
If this suggestion Is not accepted II
was said tonight the mediation board
will have failed in its efforts and the
only recourse will be an appeal to
President Wilson to use his influence
to avert a strike.
The mediators had planned to meet
with the brotherhood men early today
but at the last moment Mr.. Hanger
appeared at the meeting and requested
an adjournment until tomorrow at the
same hour.
Leaders of the brotherhoods have
consistently declared they would not
consider arbitration under the New
lands act. as II now stands. The rail
roads have rejected the mems de
mands and have stood out firmly foI
arbitration. The men have served
notice that rather than arbitrate they
will strike. With both sides taking
such an mbending attitude there /:
no solution to the problem except tn,
new arbitration plan, according to {
responsible authority.
The principal feature of the new
plan is said to be the formation OF {
board OF arbitration that will give

creased to an equal number with fou
