OF 36O WAR PRISONERS STIRS ENGLAND Some Were Held by Ger mans Since Outbreak of
 Hostilities.
MANY SUFFER WITH
 BARRED WIRE FEVER
Cilivians Relate Something of Conditions in Enemy
 Country.

London, Feb. 28-All England has been stirred by the return of 36O sol diers and civilian prisoners of war from Ruhleben, Germany, some of whom were fishermen who were sur prised by the Germans in the North Sea immediately after the declara- ton of war and had therefore been prisoners almost from the first day of hostiIities.
 It is not because of the stories they tell, for their lips have been sealed so far as their own sufferings are concerned by order of the gov ernment. The remark of one of the civilians to an old friend who met the party-'We are fairly all right, but we have all got barbed-wire fever"-is said to contain the whole story. Englishmen know what that means and there is nowhere any de- sire to reverse the government or der.
 Barbed-wire fever is the nervous strain that is telling with increasing force-especially in the case of the older men, who cannot take so much exercise-upon the hundreds of men who have spent over three years on that unhappy race course" says the Manchester Guardian. "They were bitterly disappointed that the attempt of our government to abolish Ruhle-
 ben altogether by an exchange, how ever it might advantage the Germans, 1 came to nothing and many of the re- patriated men are convinced that there may be an increase of mental cases if RuhIeben continues much longer. You could see the marks of nervous excitement on many of the faces, and probably the reaction from
 being set free will be felt severely by the men of more sensitive minds From a few of the civilian prison | CTS something of the condition of af- fairs in Germany was learned-il- lustrations supporting the general inn | pression according to the Daily Tele- graph that the war has entirely
 changed the conditions of life in the enemy country, which has ceased al l together to display that air of chee =
 full prosperity which characterized the Germany of peace days"
 Germany, it was said, presented the | appearance of a country under 4 | blight"
 'tI was very much struck when | travelling through the country" said | one of the men, with the dead look i of everything. Even in one of the | great towns through which we pass | ed there seemed to be little going on,
 and the railway stations were almost
 entirely deserted. On the line be- tween Spandau and Hanover we did
 not see single passenger train, and
 the goods traffic appeared to be quite l negligible. The fields were devoid of cattle, and on the whole journey
 I saw less than a score of sheep" Other men with observant eyes had
 come to the conclusion that the fuel
 shortage in Germany must be acute | because though the weather was bit 1 ter1y cold, smoke was rarely to be
 seen issuing from chimneys. Another
 thing that struck them was the ex-
 tent to which women are doing work
 on the railways. They were seen act
 ing as firemen on locomotives and ai | platelayers.

new YORK. IN DANGER
City May Be Bombarded by Air
planes From U-Boats.
Military Authorities Have Taken Pre-
cautions by Placing Guns In
Strategic Positions.

New York, June 5.-Speculation as
to a possible attack on New York
city followed announcement of the
operation of German submarines rs
miles off the New Jersey coast.
Possibility of any submarine pene-
trating the nets and other defenses in
the lower harbor was Immediately dis
counted.
Authorities, however, considered the
possibility of an air raid by airplanes
launched from the deck of subma-
rine. This theory has been widely
discussed In the past and its prac.
ticably Is admitted by experts on naval
matters.
American military officials have sc
accepted such a possibility, in fact
that anti-aircraft guns long have
been established at strategic points
around New York city and its cnvi
rons, according to reliable reports.
In case the Gemans should attempt
to bomb New York 1t is agreed that
II would be merely for the effect on
American morale, rather than because
of any military reason.
