RED CROSS
War Council Appropriates for Feed :
ing American Prisoners in Germany

The Augusta Chapter of the Red
! Cross Society has received word that
the War Council of the society has
appropriated s31,212 to buy IS tons
of food for American prisoners in Ger
many. the food to be forwarded to the
| Red Cross warehouse at Berne, Swift
zerland. pending its need by the Am
erican prisoners. At present the num-
Der of American prisoners in Ger
man prison camps consists of only
about 100 seamen. twenty-five tons of
food for their relief, enough to sus-
tain this number of men for three
months, have been sent to Berne up
to this time and this authorized order
for IS tons will insure their sustenance
for an additional nine months, or will
suffice for a larger number for a
shorter period
The news service Of the Red Cross
states that the soldiers and sailors
captured by the Central Powers are
not provided by their captors with suf-
ficient food to keep them in good
health, nor with sufficient clothing, so
these necessities must be provided
from home, and in view of this con-
dition the American Red Cross and
the United States government is pre-
pairing to feed all American soldiers
and sailors who may be taken prison
ers by Germany during the war. A
complete scheme for sustaining prison
ers is now being worked out Jointly
by the War and Navy Departments
and the American Red Cross. which
will be the agency through which the
American prisoners viii be reached.
Under the proposed plan of feeding
American prisoners in Germany, each
prisoner is to receive. in the course of
every two weeks, three ten-pound
packages. containing proper and suf-
ficient rations to keep him in good
health for that length of time. 1t is
expected that sufficient food to sus-
tain a considerable number of men
for several months will have been &C
cumulated in Berne before the Amer
lean troops begin active service on
the fighting front.
Already the Navy Department has
shipped 100 outfits of clothing for the
interneF seamen in Germany, and the
Quartermaster Generals Department
SIS cases of clothing for soldiers and
informed civilians. Foodstuffs, so far
provided. have been purchased by the
American Red Cross, but the furnish
ing of necessary rations is to be at
tended to by the government as soon
as detailed plans for prisoner-relief
work are perfected.
Under existing arrangements with
the German government food and
clothing for American prisoners are
sent in bulk to a neutral country and
there repacked by agents of the Am
erican Red Cross in standard contain
ers. In charge Of this work at Berne
is Ellis L. Dresel who, before the war,
was attached to the American embas-
sy at Berlin. He is now a member of
