GERMANS HELD IN THE UNITED
STATES NUMBER NEARLY $500

Two classes of German prisoners are
now detained in this country. One is
comprised of sailors taken into custo-
dy when the United States entered
the war; the other consists of "alien
enemies" civilians who have been ar
rested and are now being held under
governmental regulations for various
reasons.
The principal detention camp is at
Fort Mcpherson, Ca, where approxi-
mately $50 war prisoners are held; at
Fort 0glethorpe, Ca, there are 165
alien enemies; at Fort Douglas, Utah,
there are SIT prisoners of war and so
interned Germans. Small detachments
are now temporarily quartered at Ar
my posts throughout the country, but
the number is relatively small.
Altogether there are 1884 actual
! prisoners of war in thee ustody of the
war department and about 400 intern
ed aliens held at the request of the
department Of justice.
1t is estimated that Germany is now
holding $50 sailors taken from Ameri-
can ships by commerce raiders and
other German vessels.

THEY ARE Thieves

Nashville, November 10, 1877
To County Chairmen:-This state
ment was made today by Herbert Hoo
yer, United States Food Administra-
tor:
"We have reports from various
parts of the country of crooks, thieves
and confidence operators who are 60
ing from house to house purporting to
be authorized by the Food Administra-
ton and other departments of the gov.
ernment to collect or commander food
stuffs for the government or the army
81 wish to say emphatically that no
department of the government has or
will ever make such demands on
householders, and that all such people
are petty frauds and should be held
for the police. The government agen-
cies are Investigating various cases
and information is sought Of all suct
persons by this department"

service of the Brownsville churches
held Thursday morning at the Baptist
church.
Rev. w. A. Freeman, pastor Of the

experience.
"The Italian armies, now complet-
ing their reorganization, have been
able to withstand the assaults of the
numerically superior forces of the
Austro-German divisions engaged
against them. They have hitherto pre-
vented any further invasion of the
Italian plain. The enemy is continu-
ing his efforts to break through. The
line of the Plave has held firm.
Along the lower Plave, where hostile
forces gained temporary foothold on
the right bank of the river, they were
driven off with great loss, thus rem

The enemy has been successfully con-

tween the headwaters of the Grenta

have been well conducted, and the
enemy has been unable to make any
further progress. Strategic reserves,
strengthened by allied contingents,
have been constituted. The morale of
the Italian forces is improving daily,
and while the situation is not wholly

WARTIME DEMAND FOR
COTTON is ENORMOUS

Recent Investigations in the use of
cotton in war show. :.
A 12-inch gun disposes of a half
bale of cotton with every shot fired; a
machine gun in operation will use up
bale in three minutes; in naval
battle like the one off Jutland over
5000 pounds a minute are consumed
by each active war ship; more than
10000 bales year are needed to pro-
vide absorbent cotton for the wounds
of the injured; one change of apparel
for all the troops now engaged in the
war represents more than million
bales.
