MANY PRISONERS 0N WAY ID CAMP
 DIE M|SERABlY
British Prisoners Reach Allied Camp In Pitiable Condition, and
 Many Die.

LONDON-A despatch from Reu- ter's News Agency says that the British prisoners who were, until recently, in the hands of the Ger mans, were found to be in a very miserable condition, and thousands of them who have been liberated are entering France daily in pitt able condition, ragged, hungry and miserable.
 Camp Forsbach, situated about thirty miles east of Metz, was broken up and the large number of prisoners who were held there were told to seek help from the Allies, and were consequently forced to walk fifty miles without food.
 A great many of them were in rags, with the soles of their shoes dropping out, and many died from exposure to the cold weather, within sight of help.

RIVER CLOSES AT
 NENANA CROSSING

Advices received from out the line would indicate that the Nenana river in the vicinity of the crossing at 43-mile has now frozen over and men and light loads may now be taken across in safety. Horses cam not cross for a few days to come.
 The river at the crossing is very swift and is about the last place to freeze over. There are few contractors working on the right of way beyond the crossing whose wants are filled at the 43-mile store and they are now able to get sup plies at will.
 It is expected that with the early finishing of the work of laying steel to the crossing, arrangements will be made soon for repairing the big bridge which will carry the line across the river at this point.

STEEL STEADILY
 NEAR|NG| |Il|GN|IE

Station No. 18328 was reached by the steel gang last night, which is nearly 32 miles from Nenana. and at the rate of progress being made at present, it is expected that the trains will be running to the Nenana Crossing before Christmas.
 The work of extending the rails was delayed somewhat when the men of the steel gang were requisi- toned to put in a switch and si1ing from Station No. 1859 to Station No. 18341. This is to be perman- ent siding and will be completed later on. For the present, however, switch and 1900 feet of a spur track have been put in and the track camp moved from the old location to this spur. The camp was also moved and little time was lost in settling down and getting things in shape for the comfort and con veniences of the men.
 The track camp cars are fixed on flat cars and the matter of moy- ing camp is very simple operation now, and but very little time is spent after moving in getting set tied down. At the new location of the track camp we'll had to be dug and housed over and a supply of wood for camp use secured.
 With the extension of the road, the track camp will have to be moved from time to time so that the men will be as near the end of steel as possible all the time. It is expected that the next time the camp will be moved the steel wi,l have reached the Nenana Crossing.

WEST GERMANS
 FEEL HOSTILITY
 TOWARDS KAISER
Western Germans Don't Like Their Former Kaiser, and Make
 Attempts to Kill Him.

LONDON.-A Mail correspondent says that investigations made in Western Germany disclosed the fact that much hostility towards the former kaiser exists among the people in that section of the coun- try, and that this hostile feeling also extends to the crown prince.
 After the kaiser had entered Holland, thousands of soldiers whose homes are in Western Germany ar rived at the Dutch frontier and de- manded to be allowed to pursue and kill him. The Dutch guards at the frontier had hard time to re- strain the Germans from carrying out their desire.

Bridgeport, Club Makes Unique Record
This Year.

Unusual feats in baseball this season
pass unuoticed, to great extent, owing
to the conditions resulting from the
participation of the United States IN the
world war An illustration IL found IN
the fact that the winning of the first 20
games of its schedule by the Bridgeport
Club of the Eastern League, elected little
attention outside of the minor league
circuit
While this feat does not equal some OF
the continuous winning streaks oi former
major and minor league teams 1T does
constitute worlds record so far as is
shown by baseball statistics. 1t rs the
longest string of victories ever collected,
beginning with the first game OF the season

club an impressive lead IN its own or
