The stu dents appreciate these sincere evi- dences of interest on the part of the men of the city and the Judge has been extended an invitation to return soon.

ALL ENGLAND IS STIRRED
 OVER INCIDENT
Returned Soldiers Tel About the "Barb-Wire" Fever Consuming
 Patients.

LONDON, March 6.-All England has been stirred by the return of 360 soldiers and civilian prisoners of wal from Ruhleben, Germany, some oi whom are fishermen who were sur prised by the Germans in the North Sea immediately after the declara. ion of war and had therefore been prisoners from the first day of hos tilities.
 It is not because of the stories hey tell, for their lips have been sealed so far as their own suffer lngs are concerned by order of the government The remark of one ot teh civilians to an old friend who met the party.-"We are fairly all right, but we have all got barbed whole story Englishmen know what that means and there is nowhere any desire to reverse the govern ment's order.
 Barbed-wire fever is the nervous strain that is telling with increasing torce- 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 .hat unhappy racecourse," says the Manchester Guardian. They were bitterly disappointed that the attempt of the government to abolish Ruhle- ben altogether by an exchange, how ever 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 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"
