GERMAN PRISON
BLIGHT limited
$50 British Released From Ruiz
Ieben by Exchange Have
"Barbed Wire Fever"
PAIL OVER ENTIRE COUNTRY
Report Few Trains Running, Stations
Deserted, Smoke From but Few
chimneys-FueI Shortage in
Germany Acute.

London.-All England has been
stirred by the return of $50 soldiers
and civilian prisoners of war from
| Ruhleben, Germany some of whom are
fishermen who were surprised by the
Germans in the North sea Immediately
after the declaration of war, and had
therefore been prisoners almost from
the first day of hostilities.
1t is not because of the stories they
tell, for their lips have been sealed so
far as their own sufferings are con-
cerned by order of the government.
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
barbedwire fever"-is said to contain
the whole story. Englishmen know
what that means, and there is nowhere
any desire to reverse the governments
order.
Symptoms Of Barbed-Wire Fever.
"Barbed-wire fever is the nervous
strain that is telling with increasing
force-especially in the case of the old
er men, who cannot take so much eXer-
cise-upon the hundreds of men who
have spent over three years on that I'M
happy course" says the Manchester
Guardian.
'They were bitterly disappointed
that the attempt of our government to
abolish Ruhleben altogether by an ex-
change, however it might advantage
30 I.f,
many of the repatriated men are con-
WINGED that there may be an increase
of mental cases if Ruhleben 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 few of the civilian prisoners
something of the condition of affairs in
Germany was learned-illustration
supporting the general impression, ac-
cording to the Daily Telegraph, that
the war has entirely changed the con-
ditions of life in the enemy country,
which has ceased altogether to display
that air of cheerful prosperity which
characterized the Germany of peace
days"
Germany, 1t was said presented the
appearance Of country under a
blight"
Germany Under Blight.
Il was very much struck when trav-
cling through the country" said one
of the men, with the dead look of ev-
erything. Even in one of the great
towns through which we passed there
seemed to be little going on, and the
railway stations were almost entirely
deserted. On the line between Span
lau and Hanover we did not see a
single passenger train, and the goods
traffic appeared to be quite negligible.
The fields were devoid of cattle, and
on the whole journey 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
terly cold smoke could rarely be seen
issuing from chimneys. Another thing
that struck them was the extent to
which women are doing work on the
railways. They were seen acting as
firemen on locomotives and as plate
layers.

THIRTY TANK CARS WILL
BRING OIL TO GAS WORKS
Leased by Washington Company
and Will Supply Needs of Manu-
facture Here.

Thirty tank cars have been leased for
a month, at a cost Of $4,000. by the
Washington Gas Light Company and
will be employed continuously in bring
ing oil to Washington for use in the
company said today.
Twenty of the cars already have ar
rived from Baltimore with capacity
loads. With the freezing of the Poto-
mac river the company was cut off
from oil shipments that it receives by
water, and, In view of the car shortage,
there was developed practically over
night the prospect of inability to OBJ
tain oil for gas manufacturing pur-
poses. However, efforts to obtain tank
cars resulted successfully and a sur
ficient supply is now assured, it is
stated.
When the public utilities commission
resumes consideration of the applica-
tion for a raise In gas rates the COM
pany. 1t was learned today, will pre-
sent supplemental figures showing a
greater advance in the cost of coal
than was anticipated at the time the
application was filed.
When the schedule of present and
contemplated expenses was prepared
the company was buying broken coal. it
is stated, at S4.45 ton. The price mad
jumped to $3.50 by the time the appli-
cation was taken UP by the commits
sion. Since then there has been an
other advance, to s5.65, making a total
increase of $1.10 ton since the rate
increase request was prepared.
Despite this unlooked-for advance.
which practically already has consumed
the contingency allowance in the pro-
posed rates, officials of the company
today stated they would not seek to
alter the schedule as originally submit
ted.

NEARLY HALF MILLION
MORE MEN WANTED
Announcement Of Minister of Ma
tional Service to British House
of Commons.

LONDON, January 14.-Between 420,-
600 and $4,000 troops must be raised at
once in this country, Sir Auckland Ged-
des, minister of national service. told
the house of commons today.
The minister said this was the abso-
lutte minimum, and that it might be
necessary during the year to take
more men from civil life for the army.
The house reassembled today, all in
terest centering in the promised state
ment by Sir Auckland Geddes on the
governments man-power proposals.
Sir Auckland has been holding con-
ferences during the last few days with
trade union leaders These conferences
will be continued this week, and until
they are concluded complete survey
of the situation is impossible.
His aim is to obtain substantial
agreement with the labor men on the
governments proposed military serv-
Ice bill, the primary object OF which is
understood to be to secure reinforce
ments for the army by releasing a very
large number of young and fit men
now doing civilian work in national
and semi-national capacities at home
This means the cancellation of the GER
tificates of exemption that these men
obtained because of their employment
in munition works and other war in
dustries.
A majority of the trades union leaders
virtually have agreed to cooperate
with the government in this combing-
out process, but the shop stewards OF
the engineering and shipbuilding in
dustries have not yet given their ad-
herence to the proposal. They refuse
to accept any agreement made between
the government and the trades union
officials and demand on the other hand
immediate conscription of wealth and
adequate provisions for war victims.

President Frank ]. Hayes and nine
United Mine Workers of America were

tempt of court for violating injunctions

held the miners union to be an illegal
organization and issued broad iniunctfons

and persuasion of the company's en-
ployes.

gal and dismissed the Injunction and
the company's petition The case was

preme Court of the United States.
