Washington, July 1.-THE inltia

is characteristic of a new phase OF the

How Germany Prepared.
For two months Germany has use(
all possible means in her power to re
place her losses in men and to rails,
the offensive power of her army:
"RI nforcements taken from Nh
German troops of occupation in Rus

Use of Russians to replace Ger
man workers.
Use OF Austrian troops for secon
dairy tasks at the rear of Belgian ter
ritory.
Suppression of all the delay
granted to drafted men.
Drafting of part of the class o

By these efforts we can apprais,
the results that Germany is seeking
and the importance of an offensiv,
that cannot be indefinitely repeated
Germany's human support is not mex
haustible.

GERMAN BREWERIES UNITE.
Some Plants Are to Be Shut Down in the
Interests of Efficiency.

| Amsterdam, Feb. %. - The German
government has issued an official decree
providing for the consolidation of the
brewing industry Breweries, selected on
the principle of highest efficiency, are to
take over the production of others that
are to be shut down, and are to pay the
latter monetary compensation.
The breweries naturally complain of
this measure, calling attention to the fact
that more than three billion marks of
German capital is invested in this in
dustry, which thus outranks even the
chemical industry, iron smelling or coal
mining. The number of breweries in
Germany is more than 10000, closely
connected with which are 100000 hotels
and restaurants, which employ 100000
persons

BRITISH PRISONERS
HAVE BARB-WIRE LEVER
Disease Is Nervous Strain That Is
Telling with Increasing Force on
Inmates Of Ruhleben Prison.

London, Feb. 25.-All England ha,
been stirred by the return of 800 sol
dicrs and civilian prisoners of war from
Ruhleben, Germany, some of whom arc
! 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.
II is not because of the stories they
tell for their lips have been sealed so
far as their own sufferngs are concerned
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 barbed wire
fever"-is said TO contain the whole
story Englishmen know what that
means and there is nowhere any desire
to reverse the governments order.
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 abol-
lsh Ruhleben altogether by an exchange,
however it might advantage the Ger
mans, came to nothing and many of the
repatriated men are convinced that there
may be an increase of mental cases if
Ruhleben continues much longer. You

has entirely changed the condition of |
life in the enemy country, which has |

Germany, it was said, presented the
appearance of a country under blight.

STUpEFIED BY COAL GAS.
Family of E. o. Kent Had a Very IN
pleasant Experience.

Coal gas came near claiming family
of three at 35 Wellington street early
to-day, when Mr., and Mrs. +. O. Kent
and son, Lawrence. escaped with their
lives only by the chance awakening of
Mrs. Kent. None of the three is in Sc
rious condition, according to reports
from the house this noon, although all
are i'll. The gas came from the fur
mace and as the house was unventilated
by open windows, ii is believed that the
family must have inhaled good deal of
it before they were aroused. Sometime
before 6 o'clock Mrs. Kent was awal
ened by nauseation. She called to her
husband who fell over as he emerged
from his bed The son was awakened
next and he explained similar results
when he attempted to walk.
Mrs. Kent managed to open a window
and then called w. ID. Smith, who hur-
ried to the house, only to find that
neighbors had rallied to the assistance
of the family Two doctors were called
and after working over the members Of
the family they pronounced them out OF
danger The trouble is laid to the low
pressure of the atmosphere. a. the fur
mace was recently cleaned and the drafts
were working satisfactorily Mr. Kent
was in a deep stupor when Awakened
and so was the boy. Neither IS expect
ed to be confined very long.
The occurrence is the second of its Kind
to be reported within a few days. Last
week Mrs Margaret Smith OF Liberty
street narrowly escaped asphyxiation
when coal gas from kitchen range
filed the room where she was sleeping.
Mrs. Smith is at the City hospital re-
covering from her experience.
