 The work of the War Prisoners Aid Department consists mainly in furnishing the interned men with means of amusing themselves, and pursuing studies in various subjects. Books, particularly those of a tech nical nature, are in great demand. Musical instruments, indoor and outdoor paraphernalia for games, theatrical material, and in some cases food and clothing, are sent ia.
 Scores of prisoners are putting En most of their time studying eles- tricity, chemistry, engineering, sur iveying, etc, so that when the, war is over, or they are exchanged they will be qualified to mold better posi- tions than they ever have held sDe- fore. It seems strange that a term of prisoner of V ar might be the means of starting man on the road to success, but this is what is likely to happen in some cases.

THOMAS R. ELLIS

A telegram was received yesterday in this city announcing the death of Private Thomas R. Ellis at Camp De- vens. The news was a shock to his relatives and friends as Private Ellis spent a short furlough here only a couple of week ago with his mother and sister residing at 1868 East Main street. No word had been received that the young man was suffering from pneumonia from which he died. Besides his mother he is survived by four sisters. one Mrs. Harry Spiro residing at the East Main street ad- dress, and one brother George living in Brooklyn. Private Ellis has been in the service a little over a month. having registered in New York where he was working. but was later trans ferred to a local Draft Board.

warded through Switzerland to American prisoners in German camps. No assurance had been given by the Imperial Government that this consignment would be allowed to go through, but Mr. Rarte had hopes that he would be able to ar range it. Included in the consign- ment were 27H dozen baseballs, six dozsi bats, 10 dozen tennis balls, dozen tennis rackets, several doZea footballs, etc, Imagine the whoops of joy that will greet its arrival as it's destination.
 German prisoners in Franco clso are cared for by the Y. N. c. 4. through an agreement with the Toe tons that whatever is done for Allied prisoners in their country must also be done for the Boche captives held by the Allies. Books, games, musical instruments, theat- rical makeup and costumes, ath- letics equipment, etc, are being furnished the ''Fritzies." The de- mand for musical instruments and theatrical material is particularly great. Almost every German hes some sort of musical talent, and many of them are amateur thespi- ans of ability also. Up to date, the /; Y. M. c. A. hasn't been able to keep up with the demands made upon it by the devotees of these two gEts. ? The work has been extended to tha Polish prisoners held in France. Ia one camp, the Poles publish a very well-edited and well-printed pewa- paper This little sheet, besides amusing its editors and readers, is doing excellent missionary work by printing the truth about the politi. ? cal aspects of the war and thus dis abusing the prisoners of some of the false ideas engendered by inapirsd propagandists supported by German gold. $

TKYHEN an American soldier is w unlue1y enough to be taken
 prisoner by the Boche and sent to one of the camps in the in- terior of Germany he doesn't lose all contact with his own people. It is t:ae that he doesn't have an Ameri- can daily paper delivered with his coffee and eggs each morning, nor receive letter every afternoon with liu latest gossip from home He is fairly well kept out of touch with his own land but occasionally he ia&:7ls that he has not been for gotten. The Y. M. c. A. is one of the agencies that keeps the line of communication open.
 In quiet way, the International Committee, through it's European agencies, is doing a great deal to ameliorate the condition of Yankee prisoners of war in Germany. The work, of course, is subject to drastic restrictions by the German Govern nent and is not nearly so extensive

MANY CITIES OVERSUBSCRIBE
 THEIR QUOTAS
Country Sets Itself to Raise $6,0OO,OOO in Their
 Work.

Washington. Sept. 28-America to- day set itself to the task of raising a loan of s6.OO0, 100000 in three weeks. Although this was twice the minimum of any previous Liberty loan and by far the greatest war credit ever undertaken by any nation, treasury department officials were certain that the sum would be over subscribed. Their confidence was ex- pressed in the announcement that the surplus would be allotted.
 Officials felt that 1t was favora- ble, augury for the Fourth Liberty loan that the campaign got under way just when the American army was pressing forward in a great offensive in France, and Bulgaria was suing for peace, starting the long expected disintegretion of the Central powers.
 Subscriptions to the loan began pouring in today at all Federal re- serve banks, Many communities had oversubscribed their quotas even be- fore the campaign officially began.
 New York, Sept. 28.---TWo subscrip- tions aggregating $55, 100000 were an- nounced when the Second Federal Re- serve District committee formally in- augurated it's idrive for the fourth liberty loan at g o'clock today: The Prudential Life Insurance Company of America took 30,00O 900 of the is- sue and the New York Life Insurance Company $25,OOO,0O0. These supple mented purchase of $4O,o0O, coo worth of bonds announced last night by the | United States Steel Corporation. Officers of the New York Life In- surance Company stated that $20, ,0OO,- 900 of their subscriptions was pur- chased through the New York com- mittee and the balance will be dis tributed through the Federal Reserve Districts in which the company s l branches are located.
 The Metropolitan Life Insurance Company announced subscription of $25, 100000 of which 10000 900 will be placed here and the remainder in dis tricts throughout the country. The Chemical National Bank subscribed 8, 900, O0O

BRITISH A|RNEN
 ARE LEARNING
 NEWEST TRICKS

LONDON, May P (by maiD The activity of British airmen in connec- tion with recent air raids on London indicates that they are learning rap idly the art of fighting the Gotha in the dark. Until a few months ago there was little air fighting at night, even in France, and raiding craft en- joyed a marked advantage because their object was solely to avoid at- tack while dropping their bombs
 It is evident that they are able no longer to avoid attack. For one thing, the British pilots have learned to see in the dark as a result of numerous night flights in search of enemy ma chimes. Now they are able to spot Gothas at distances which would have been considered impossible in the early stages of night raids.
 They have learned also how to take the best positions for combating the enemy, and how to keep those posi- tions. The Gotha, being an extremely heavy machine, is adept at slipping away. By sudden plunge in front of the attacking scout it can create | a "backwash" and leave the attacker struggling to right his machine. The British pilots now know how to cope with that trick and to, keep within thirty or forty yards of the raider all the time.
 There araxs any speril ona.pfs tens round the Gotha, whose two Fgunners can fire in almost any direction. Only highly skillful handling of the attack ing machine enables the pilot to main tain a place in which he can continue the fight until he hits the raider in g vital spot.
