To Aid American Prisoners.

American prisoners OF war In Germany
are to be supplied with food and cloth
ing By the American Red Cross. A
systematic plan of sending parcels to the
German prison camps ct regular inter.
walls is being worked out by the War and
Navy Departments and the Red Cross,
and it is hoped there will be no suffering
on the part of our captured fighting men
through lack of adequate nourishment
and wearing apparel. Parcels will be
sent into Germany from the disbursing
agency of the Red Cross at Berne,
Switzerland, which already has been sup.
piled with 1850 tone OF food for any
possible emergency. This food supply
comprises 1900, 900 Individual rstions,
or enough. to feed 10000 men for six
months. The food supply to Americans
In German prison camps will be the sape
In quality and quantity AZ that supplied
BY the Government to those In fighting
service.
There also will be special ratious for
invalids, consisting of broth, matted
milk, jellied chicken, and various val.
usble helps in oonvalescence. No doubt
exists that the system Of prison relief
planned by the American Red Cross will
work ont satisfactorily, It having been
ascertained that the same sort OF relief
undertaken By the French and English
for their prisoners of war In Germany
has been carried out with small percent.
age of loss or failure OF supplies to
reach those for whom intended.

A Soldiers Letter.

Mrs. Arvilla Wise has recently received
letter from Cecil L. Burns, who IS
member of Co. F, Second Maine Regi-
ment, OF Dover, was stationed for
while at South Paris last spring, portions
of which are given below:
Nov. 8, 1917.
Ny Dear Friend:
A few lines to let you know I haven't
forgotten you, If 1t has been long time
since / wrote you.
hope your health Is good this fall. l
have slight cold, but am working every
day.
About all we have done since We left
America is move from one place to an
other. It makes 1t rather disagreesble,
a. one doesn't know when he will get
orders to pack up, and we don't get our
quarters fitted up as comfortably as We
might have them II We were to stay
longer In one place.
We don't have much work to do, and
haven't been drilling an extra lot since
we arrived, but expect to begin before
long.
1t rains here nearly every day at this
time Of year.
We find the method of farming and
practically everything else much differ
emit from the United States.
The horses are harnessed into q wagon
or anything one ahead of the other,
whether there are two or more horses.
They also harness oxen and horses to-
gethsr in the same way.
The greater part of the houses about
here are made of stone covered over with
kind of cement, and shingled with fat
rocks put on much the same way that
we lay shingles In America.
They have fine roads In this part OF
France. They are made of crushed
stone, and kept In first.class condition.
| have seen men who were close on to 80
years old (by their looks) beside the road
breaking stone with kind OF hammer
made for that purpose. These men get
| from two cents to seven cents day.
Do You wonder that they have good
roads here on those wages?
The people here are very saving OF
Heather. They wear wooden pumps over
their shoes when they 90 ont OF doors.
The people that work about on the
main streets and In their homes dressed
in clothes that we would make up into
rugs or throw away, will 20 to church
on Sunday dressed In the best of clothes.
It is my opinion that II the people of
the United States would cultivate some
of the French habits in that particular
line, with the pay they get for their labor
they could retire at an early ago with
plenty of money to live on for the rest
OF their lives.
We haven't been paid for over two
months, 90 money 10 scarce article at
present. Another scarce article 10 Amer
| lean tobacco. We all miss our good
smokes over here. The French tobacco
| IL hard to get accustomed to.
haven't got letter from the United
States since arrived here, with the ex.
ception OF few that were addressed to
Wessfield, Mass. The time passes rather
dow with no mail to look over once In .
| while. 1 hope you will find plenty Of
time to write, and not be afraid OF writ.
| ing me too long letters, % shall have
plenty Of time and will be moro than
glad to read all You can write me.
