WAR PRISONERS
NOW TOTAL OVER
100000 MEN

NEW YORK, Aug. s.-More than
5,OOO.O prisoners. double the number
of men engaged In any previous war
that the world has known. are now con-
fined in prison camps of the belligerent
nations, according to DR.. John r. Mott,
general secretary of the international
committee of the Young Mems Chris
tial association, who arrived here today
on the Danish steamship Oscar II from
Copenhagen. DR.. Mott has visited the
prison camps of nearly all the countries
at war since May.
DIR. Mott said that of the prisoners
Germany has the greatest number, ap-
proximately 1,750,OOO; 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 400,0 900
having been added to the camps since
the beginning of the last Russian drive
I'm six weeks DR.. Mott said, $780,
900 passed through Kiev. 1 found that
reports as to the treatment prisoners Of
war were receiving have been greatly
exaggerated. In all of the countries the
prisoners receive virtually the same
food and care IN the respective armies.
I'VE have forty-five American secre-
taries working among the various arm
les, and 1 hope to increase this number
shortly. The work is the general army
mems mental and physical wants. We
have been accorded all the cooperation
and assistance we could reasonably ex-
pect by all the countries except Turkey.
where, as yet, we have not been per-
mitted to enter, and our efforts are not
only well received but appreciated"

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-Formal an
nouncement was made today by Acting
Secretary Polk of the acceptance of Cen
eral Carranzas proposal for joint in
ternational commission to seek a solu-
ton of border disputes and to discuss
other matters which may help clarity
relations between the United States and
Mexico. Only the time and place for

The Mexican commissioners were nam.
ed some days ago, Luis Cabrera, MINIS
ter of finance in the Carranza govern
ment, heading the delegation. This made
necessary the appointment Of a member

American membership,
Today's statement followed a brief

Arredondo, Carranza's ambassador des'
ignate. Assurance was given by Mr.. Ar
redondo that General CarranZa was IN
complete accord with suggestions Of the
sion of the commissioners be given the
broadcast possible scope. The ambassa-
dor said that his government regarded
its recent note as a full answer of &C
ceptance of Secretary Folks suggestions
that the scope be broadened.
AS it begins its task the commission
will be required first to reach some con-
clusion on the specific points outlined
by General Carranza in his original pro-
posal.
The first subject treated under this
view would be the withdrawal of AIneri-
can troops from Mexico. to be followed
by negotiation of a protocol covering
future military operations along the
border.
The immediate military situation on
the border disposed of, the commission
will be ready to proceed with its To-
naming specific task; investigation to
determine whether interests desiring In
PREVENTION have inspired border raids.
1t is believed the commission Will De
left to map out it's own course in trac-
ing the source of these raids. Without
doubt it will have power to travel to the
border or, if necessary into Mexico IN
following up it's inquiry.

WORK ON THEORY
WURM WAS POISONED

Working on the theory that John
Wurm was poisoned before his body
was tossed into the Chattahoochee
river, the city detectives and county
notice. under the direction of Solicitor
Eb williams, exhumed the body of
young wurm in Oakland cemetery
Wednesday morning and an autopsy was
performed at the grave by DR.. w. l..
Cousins and DR.. John Funke.
Immediately after the body was ex-
amined it was reburied, the physicians
taking away parts OF the liver, which
they expect to examine and make re-
port to the solicitor on Friday.
Several days ago Chief Lanford, of
the detective department, expressed the
belief that the Wurm boy had been
poisoned, but did not Immediately begin
probe of this theory because of the
fact that the department was then in
terested in a number of other clues. As
these clues have proved unfruitful, the
chief now states that all the men in
his department will interest themselves
in the theory that the young timekeeper
met his death through poisoning.
When the body of John Wurm was
examined al the cemetery by the two
physicians Wednesday they declared
they were unable to say whether Wurm
died before or after he was thrown in
the water.
Dr. Funke, when asked for an express
sion of his opinion regarding the the
DRY that the Wurm boy was poisoned,
declined to make a statement.
Early Wednesday morning Prof. A. J.
Wurm, father of the dead boy, brought
some of his sons clothes to police head
quarters and turned them over to the
detectives.
