Red Cross Caring for American Pris.
 0nefS

The American Red Cross has per fected plans to care for Americans who may be captured and held in German prison camps. A Prisoners Relief Committee has been organized at Berne, Switzerland.
 Today only about one hundred American prisoners are held in Ger many Most of these are civilians taken of American merchantmen that have been sunk by Teuton submarines. More recent arrivals in the prison camps had served as gun crews, since the arming of our merchant ships,
 Speedy provision for their relief and for those who may be taken prisoner is necessitaied by .the German policy of giving their prisoners of war food totally inadequate to keep men in good health.
 A dispatch from Paris tells of a French soldier just back from a Ger msn prison camp and in the last stage of tuberculosis. This soldier Twas one Of battalion of . thousand young and healthy men captured in body, early in the war. More than fifty per cent. of the number are now dead, or have been returned to France, via Switzer- lsnd, ss incurables.l
 Malnutrition, no less than un- sanitary conditions, produces these results. British, Canadian and Aus tralian prisoners Of war in Germany now depend exclusively upon food shipped 10 them from London, and generally give the prison camp ration to prisoners of other countries, who are as a rule, less well provided. Bread is already being dispatched from Berne to the Americans in Germany, and arrangements have also been made for transmitting letters snd money from their families and friends in this country.
