HUMAN FINGER IN SOUP FED T0 TANK PRISONERS First American Prisoners of War Arrive in England
 and Tell of Treatment
 at Hands of Hun

London, November 29.-Eight American former prisoners of war. the first men of this class to reach London, arrived here dition They were members of the 1O0d infantry, and were captured last April at Seicheprey. They were attachedeto the Friedrichsfeld camp until their re- lease November 15.
 All of the men said they had been forced to work hard and were given insuffi- cient food. They would have starved had it not been for the American Red @ros- packages which were received at ong intervals they stated.
 The men said they were supposed to get an American Red Cross package weekly but they were lucky if the Ger nlans permitted this monthly. Even the bacRages received, especially of soap, \ ere footed, according to the prisoners.
 Their treatment was varied in the diff ferent camps. In Darmstadt they endured civilian insults. While working on the roads they often were spat upon. After the arinistice was signed guards and civilians "got down on their knees to us'' they said.
 Limberg was called the mystery camp Y owing to the numerous disappearances of prisoners the fate of whom was never revealed.
 Four days after the armistice the men were taken to Friedrichsfeld and then to Holland whence they sailed from Rot terdam on the 18th. They arrived al Ripon, England. November s4. One Sf the men related a gruesome incident which occurred at the Limburg camp. A hl- man finger was found In the soup. The American prisoners were made i'll put |, German guard declared it great loKe and hung up the finger as mess dee- cfation
 He id "The food was all but uneat- able. Breakfast consisted of miserable coffee and a tiny piece of bread; lunch, soup containing bits of turnips, grass and potatoes and always full of dirt and sana. We used to take out the potatoes ana aive the rest to the poor Russian prls- oners. For weeks we had to labor on that diet.'

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York. November 2s-(special.) ) The market was fairly sts@dy in the early trading. but without any partic- ular buying powers There is less de- mand from domestic mills than for sometime, and their buying does not
 increase because they are unable to see their way-c1early in the dry goods market. In the afternoon the New ur- leans market became distinctly weak, presumably owing to the constant pill their selling In this market coming in competition with the small volume of hedges which must each day be ib- sorbed caused the decline of nearly i cent pound. We do not think the volume of trading was large. but sales of small volume now exercise an undue influence under present conditions Tho market is without any particular buy ing power, as 1t is without speculat- i've interest.-Hubbard Bros.

q TANDARZED VESSELS CONSTRUCTED IN ENGLAND

LONDON, May 4.-Fabricated yes sels are one of the latest and most interesting developments of Great Britain's shipbuilding drive. A fab ricated ship is one whose compon- ent parts are manufactured in other than shipbuilding yards, usually in plants inland. The new fabricated ship is larger than most of the stan- dard ships and there is not a curved frame in it.
 In fabrication of ships the aim was to increase speed of production and also to utilize for shipbuilding pur- poses such plants as bridge-building yards and large engine factories.
 It is expected that ships of the new type will materially increase tho ton mage output.
