 Hopkins a Prisoner.
 Although the people of this town have known for some time that Private Douglas Hopkins Is prisoner of war in Germany his name did not appear officially on the casualty list until yesterday. His case is peculiar one in that he has been a prisoner since the latter part of June or the early part of July. His name appears on tho casualty list as being prisoner at Camp Rastatt, Germany. The last heard directly from Private Hopkins was a letter written to his mother on May 12. Up to that time he had seen some pretty rough service and had seen his chums killed and his best friend Private Rudolph Stewart. also of PlainVille, taken prisoner. He remarked in his letter how fortunate he was to escape without a scratch He went into battle with Company D shortly after ward and had not been heard from since. On October Il his mother re- ceived telegram from the war de- partment in Washington telling her that he had been located prisoner of war, that as far as known he was c. X. and tha further developments in his case would be reported tmmedt- ately to her. That was the last thing heard from him until Monday of this week when a card was received from him which was mailed from Germany in July. The card wassAhe regulation card of a German prisoner and for that reason did not carry much in- formation. The prisoners have just begun to receive boxes of food and necessities from the Red Cross through the country of Switzerland. He is the second Plainville boy to be taken prisoner.
