BARBARITY DISPLAYED BY GER.
MANS IN HANDLING RUSSIAN
WAR PRISONERS

Petrograd, August 12-The Central
Committee, which is dealing with the
affairs of war prisoners, issued a
statement today in protest against
the refined barbarity which Germany
Is displaying" toward Russian pris-
oners.
The statement says that Germany is
not fulfilling her promises regarding
the interment in neutral countries of
sick prisoners; that she is illegally
retaining military prisoners unfit for
service, and that she Is placing re-
strictions on the men communicating
with their homes and intercepting let
tiers asking assistance from the Red
Cross.
1t also says that the rations of the
prisoners have been reduced to I'M
heardof proportions, and that they in
clude adulterated products injurious
to the men. In addition, prisoners are
compelled to undertake superhuman
labor.
It is asserted In the statement that
Germany abstains from replying to
proposals for the exchange of civilian
prisoners and hostages for the allie
Walton Of the lot Of war prisoners on
the basis Of reciprocity, or for the ex-
change of tuberculosis prisoners or
the sending Of Sisters of Charity to
nurse them.

THAW's RECOVERY is SLOW
Physicians Express Concern About His
Mental Condition and Slow Re-

Philadelphia-Physicians at the hos

tempted to commit suicide here last
week by slashing himself with ra-
zor, is patient, report that Thaw is
not recovering as rapidly as had been
expected and express concern both as
to his mental and physical condition.

family, who were to have held bed
side conference with Thaw Wednes-
day to discuss plans for his defense
against kidnapping and assault charges
made in New York by. Frederick
Gump, Jr., Kansas City youth, an
nounced that the conference had been
postponed for at least week.
DR.. Elwood R. Kirby, Thaw's private
physician, reports that his patient is
showing only slight Improvement and
was still in stupor.
"He doesn't seem to realize where
he is or what has happened" said DR..
Kirby. "His depression is due partly
to loss of blood and his general phys
ical condition. 1t will be several weeks
before he comes around. His mind is

GUARDsMEN TO ORETURN SOON
Gen. Funston Selecting Units To Be
Returned to Home Stations in
the Near Future.

Washington.-Imm withdraw
al of a substantial number" of ma
tional guardsmen from the border has
been ordered by the war department
and Gen. Funston now is selecting the
units to be sent home. In announcing
the order Secretary Baker said the
number to be withdrawn at this time
probably would be $4,000 or 10000.
The secretary refused to comment
On the order to say what relation it
might have to the withdrawal of Gen.
Pershing's expedition from Mexico.
He said that the organizations to be
withdrawn would be announced as
soon as Gen. Funston reported those
he had designated. This withdrawal
would reduce the force of state troops
On the border to between $4,000 and
$4,000 men.
It is the policy Of the department
not to permit disintegration of the ra-
tional guard organizations and the in
tention is to hold ever man in serv-
Ice, though not under arms, regardless
Of the fact that his duty on the border
has ended.
All applications for discharge except
for cause will be refused, and resigna-
lions of officers will be carefully ex-
Rmined and accepted only when the
department is satisfied with the rea-
sons given. It was pointed out that
acceptance of many of these resigna-
lions already offered was more or less
in the nature of wedding out process.

TEUTON RAIDER is ACTIVE
Eight British and Two French Yes
sells Are Sent to Bottom In
South Atlantic.

Rio De Janeiro, Brazil.-A German
raider has sunk eight British and two
French vessels in the Atlantic, and
has captured and employed six others.
The Hudson Maru, a Japanese
ship which had been overhauled and
captured by the raider, arrived at
Pernambuco with 237 of the crews OF
the vessels sunk and with remark
able story of tfhe operations of the
Prussian.
On board the Hudson Maru it was
reported that one British steamship,
the Yarrowdale, had foundered and
that 400 men of the captured crews
had lost their lives.
The raider, which is the German
cruiser Vineto disguised as a mer-
chantman, carrying IL guns and four
torpedo tubes, placed the crews of the
vessels sunk on board the Hudson
Maru and the Yarrowdale. When the
Yarrowdale held 400 men, in addi-
ton to her own crew, she was start
ed for some port. She should have
landed long before the Hudson Maru
arrived at Pernambuco. AS nothing
has been heard OF her, it is feared
that she is lost with all on board.
