FOOD To OUR
BOYS IN PRIS-
IN CAMPS

Food is now being sent regularly
to American prisoners in Germany by
the American Red Cross through an
arrangement with the International
Red Cross in Switzerland.
The American Red Cross office at
Paris recently received a complete list
n 159 Americans then prisoners
in Germany. The German govern
ment permits the Red Cross to send
each man twenty pounds of food a
week, in two packages of ten pounds
each.
This Red Cross service is being en-
larged and a warehouse to hold food
enough for 10000 American prisoners
already is under construction near
Berne, Switzerland. 1t is estimated
that at least 90 per cent of the food
packages reach the men.
Parents, wives and relatives of our
soldiers and sailors will find in this
particular Red Cross service the great
est satisfaction because they have
dreaded German prison life for their
loved ones perhaps more than death
itself.
The American prisoners will be per-
mitted to write two letters and four
post cards each month, and also to
acknowledge the receipt of food pack
ages. The Red Cross food package
follows the army ration pretty close
ly, and frequently fresh white bread
is included from the Red Cross bak-
cry in Berne.
This service is one more reason why
the American people will respond
to the next Red Cross War
Fund campaign May 20-27 when an
other $1OO,OOO,OOO to Garry on" will
be asked.

How Germany Makes War
Published
By M. S. SLAUGHTER, Professor of Latin,
University Of Wisconsin.

latest edition of Wheaton's "Interna-
tional Law, we read: Many host
ages were shot, many were held in
oppressive and hymiliating confne-
ment, many were carried off to Ger
many. They were treated far worse
than prisoners Of war"
The German government has DELHI
erately adopted a policy of EXTERN
mating its enemies by the imposition
Of enormous and Illegal fines and lev
les, by the destruction or wholesale
theft of the peoples means of earn
ing living, and by the starvation of
men, women and children.
The imposition Of fines and levies
upon invaded countries out of all pro-
portion to their ability to pay serves
the double purpose of enriching Ger
many and imp0verishing the conquer
ed people. The incredible sums Of
100000 dollars, now collected every
month in exhausted Belgium, are paid
only because "Germany's knife is at
her throat"
The German armies have deIiber-
ately destroyed the factories of Bel
gium and Poland and sent to Germany
the machinery and raw material used
in manufacture. They have system
atically driven off all the live stock
from the farms. These things form
part Of the plan to reduce Belgium to
poverty and ruin.
The starvation Of the people to
make ready the country for the pos
session of the Germans is a deliber-
ate plan of the invaders. Said Gen
eral Won Kreis to F. c. Walcott, an
American sent by our Government 10
investigate conditions in Belgium and
Poland: "Staryation is here, so we
set it to work for Germany By
starvation we can accomplish in two
or three years in East Poland more
that we have in West Poland in the
last hundred" But how came starva-
ton to Poland? The answer may be
found in the book, when the Prussi.
ans Came to Poland" by Laura Black
well de Turczynowicz, an American
woman resident in Poland She
writes, Notices were posted by the
commandment, Anyone touching or US
ing any grain, potatoes or vegetables
from his own garden or field will be
punished to the full extent Of the law
and the Germans took the crops to
the last bean and potato"
Of all the war practices of the Ger
man government, the most brazen is
the deportation of the people from
France and Belgium and Poland to
work in mines and factories in Ger
many. Men, employed and unem-
ployed, women and children, are
taken; more than hundred thousand
from Belgium alone Few ever re-
turn and these are worn out or dis
eased. In spite of protests from all
nations the deportations still con
tinue. In October, 1916, Cardinal Mer-
cier wrote: Two years ago it was
death, pillage, fire, but it was war.
Today it is no longer war. 1t is cold
calculation, intentional destruction,
the victory Of force over right, the
debasement Of human personality, q
cry of defiance to humanity"

young Red Cross driver, just back
from France.
'"The mountain roads in France are

heard a roaring like ten express trains
rafting down upon me. I knew it
