HOSPITAL GERMAN TARGET.
Photograph Cited as Proof That
Bombing Was Deliberate.

PARIS. August 27-one of the hos
pitfalls behind Verdun on which German
airplanes dropped incendiary bombs a
week ago is at Vadelaincourt The
fire caused by the bombs spread repidly
to the whole building and the glare
showed up more plainly than ever the
large red cross painted on the roof The
aviator threw a second bomb, which
demolished a pavilion in which were
three crews of surgeons who were per-
forming operations The surgeons,
nurses and wounded were obliged to
quit the building. At about the same
time German aviator attacked the
hospital at Chateau Mont Hairons.
The bomb exploded in a ward filled
with wounded men. killing one of them
Ten wounded soldiers were killed on
the same evening at BeIrupt by a Ger
man shell.
Proof of generalization on the part
of the German authorities in making
these attacks Is furnished by a photo
graph found on a German aviator
brought down at Dead Man Hill. The
photograph represented the Vadelain-
court hospital. with the red cross sign
indicated clearly.

Nine Ounces of Meat a Week.

Even Woodworking manual laborers get
only nine ounces of meat a week. When
the bread ration was raised few weeks
ago the fact was cabled to the world, but
the government forgot to state that at the
same time the meat ration was reduced
The scanty meat ration includes all fat
except butter. which one gets in weekly
varying rations from one and three-quar-
ters ounces to three ounces. In July each
German had only one egg, whereas before
he had at least two and sometimes three
a month. l hardly saw any potatoes at
all in July. The restaurant meat is often
UNBEATABLE. Sugar and oaten great rations
are nine ounces each. Coal cards, calling
for brfQuettes. began to be issued Au-
gust l.
Much annoyance is caused by the
lack of justice in the distribution of
food; If one has money he can get
anything. The rich pay 20 marks $50

peasants. Coffee and cocoa are OBJ
tainable in small quantities at the rate
of from 30 to 40 marks (s6 to So a

Character of Supplies Sent.

BY arrangement with Germany these
food parcels are sent to the prisoners
three times fortnight. The parcels
supplement the bread, which also is
regularly supplied. and each of them
contains ten pounds OF meat butter,
sugar. jam, coffee or tea, salt. rice and
dried fruit. The American Red Cross
is forwarding to Bern stocks of the
same foodstuffS as well as cheese,
evaporated milk. Goldfish and mixed bis
cult. Timed goods cannot be sent to
prisoners. for Germany has made over
the tin containers as hand grenadeS.
Ninety-f1ve per cent of the British
packages sent into Germany, with pos
tai card receipts to be mailed back by
the prisoners. have been duly receipted
for. The American Red Cross, also. will
inclose postal cards a means of max
ing sure that American prisoners do
actually receive the food parcels.

French Soldiers Plight.

A recent cable dispatch from Paris
tells of French soldier Just back from
a German prison camp and in the last
stage Of tuberculosis. This soldier was
one of a battalion OF a thousand young
and healthy men captured in a body
early in the war. More than so per
cent of the number now are dead or
have been returned to France, via
Switzerland. as incurables.
Malnutrition, no less than insanitary
conditions, produces these results.
British. Canadian and Australian pris-
oners of war in Germany now depend
exclusively upon food shipped to 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 dis
patched from Bern to the Americans
in Germany. and arrangements have
also been made for transmitting letters
and money from their families and
friends in this country.
Thus far only bread has been sup
piled by the Bern committee OF the
American Red Cross. Assorted food
parcels and clothing will also be for
warded soon. In the meantime the cen
trail prisoners of war committee of Lon
don is acting on behalf Of American
prisoners in Germany sending them
such foods as the committee regularly
dispatches to British and colonial pris-
oners.
