YANK PRISONERS
HELD IN TEUTON
CAMPS GET FOOD

Food now is being sent regularly
to American prisoners in Germany
by the American Red Cross through
an arrangement with the Interna-
tional Red Cross in Switzerland
The American Red Cross Office at
Paris recently received a complete
list of the 159 Americans then pris-
oners in Germany. The German
government permits the Red Cross
to send each man 90 pounds of food
a week, in two packages of 10
pounds each.
This Red Cross service is being
enlarged and a warehouse to hold
food enough for 10000 American
prisoners already is under con-
struction near Berne, Switzerland
1t is estimated that at least 80 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 greatest satisfaction because
they have dreaded German prison
life for their loved ones perhaps
more than death itself.
The American prisoners will be
permitted to write two letters and
four post cards each month. and
also to acknowledge the receipt Of
fod packages. The Red Cross food
package follows the army ration
pretty closely, and frequently fresh
white bread IS included from the
Red Cross bakery in Berne
This service is one more reason
why the American people will re-
spond generously to the next Red
Cross War Fund campaign May
20-27 when another S10O,000,00O to
carry on" will be asked.

and reared, and where he gained
considerable distinction in athlet-
les. particularly in football, as con-
nected with the Rock Island high
school team. is on his way 10
France, as lieutenant OF artillery.
MacManus has been in business
with his brother Jay, at Mason
City, Iowa. for the last few years.
but shortly after war was declared
enlisted as private in the field ar
tillery service of the army and
trained at Fort Logan. near Dem
yer, and later made the training
camp at Leon Springs. Texas,
where he won a lieutenancy.
On the eve of his departure for
Europe, he wrote his mother, Mrs.
J. F. MacManus, who has been
making her home with her sons, at
Mason city. beautiful farewell
letter, in which he breathes the
true spirit of the loyal mother
loving American boy, as follows
Dear Mother: l am writing
you a few lines only to let you
know that everything is pro-
crossing along fine. School
here is practically over, and
when the final rating was
made, I stood second out of a
class of 200. I feel greatly
elated over 1t, and know that
l can continue to make good.
In regard to my coming
home, / would surely have
liked to, but 1 fear it is quite
impossible.
l am going to complete my
training in France, mother, and
will be on my way very, very
soon. l know that this is per-
haps quite sudden, and will
perhaps cause you some worri-
ment, but you should not wor-
ry at all because as you have
often said, Gods will be done,
and He will lead me in what
ever / may do. So you must
be the bravest little mother in
the world, and not feel at all,
as though you were sacrificing
but only doing that which is
the greatest thing in all the
world.
All we boys will come back,
you must remember, and
know that you will feel proud
over the fact that you are glad
~ allowing your boy to do his
duty to his country
Mail is very congested at the
present time, and do not worry
IL you do not hear from me as
regularly as you might expect
to. You must always remem-
Der that no news is good news
and besides we will be in
training over there maybe five
or six months before we even
get near the Huns, and the
war may be over by then.
I will ask you or Jay to let
Sis and Dulcie and Ralph
know, so they will not think |
have forgotten them.
So please do not worry at all
over anything, and just con-
tinue to think 1 am still at
Leon Springs, Texas. and I will
write TO you all as soon as l
am able to.
With all my love and kisses
to the best little mother on
earth and with my best to Jay,
l am as ever,
Your loving son,
ERNIE.
