Examination of American Prison.
ers Released by Germans
L Has Been Finished.
5RINC FOOD SAMPLES
Yankees Produce Bread Containing
Sawdust-Many Men From One
Camp Are III as Result Of
Being Starved.

American Headquarters in France,
Nov. 29.-The examination of Ameri-
can prisoners released from German
prison camps and reaching Identified
tfon camps virtually has been conclud-
ed under the direction of army sur
geons.
The examinations indicate that the
physical condition of the men in gen
eral is as good as could be expected,
although some cases are reported
where the men complained of bad
treatment, bad shelter and poor and
insufficient food. OF several thousand
men examined no evidence has been
found of reported cases of incubation
with malignant and contagious dis
eases.
General complaint was made by both
officers and men that their food was
extremely bad and their quarters I'M
comfortable. Specimens of bread
brought back were found to contain
sawdust and other coarse and inedible
elements. In the majority of cases,
however, the men said their housing
and food were not much worse than
the shelter and rations of the German
soldiers.
No Discrimination Reported.
In one classification camp where ap-
proximately 1000 men from the Allied
armies were examined one French Of
ficer and five British soldiers CON-
planned of brutal treatment. There
was general complaint at this camp
Of bad food, poor shelter and lack of
liberty.
Americans who were confined in Ger
man prisons with Russians and Italians
were found we'll satisf fled with their
treatment in comparison with that
given the Russian and Italian soldiers.
The released prisoners report no dis
elimination against Americans. Only
q small percentage OF those examined
was found In need of medical atten-
ton. At one classification camp,
where five officers and 344 men re-
ported from German prisons, only IA
required hospital attention. No cases
of emaciation we're found in this group.
At another point, however, of the
Americans assembled for physical ex-
animation 60 per cent we're found SUI
fering from stomach or intestinal dis
turbances, due, primarily, to lack of
food. ..~..... .-.
The conditions in the prison from
which this group was released were
worse than those found in any others.

Washington, Nov. 20. - With the

impelling strategic reason for keeping
the main strength Of the American

no longer exists.
Naval officers here anticipate, there
fore, that the feet will be divided

May Revive European Squadron.
There are indications about the de-
partment that plans already are afoot
for reviving the old European squad
ron. II
With the increased responsibilities
of the United States in Europe due to
the war and the expanding merchant
marine, it is regarded as probable
that a definite naval force will be
maintained in European waters here
after, and it is possible steps may be
taken toward establishing limited
base facilities for the upkeep of the
force.
Navy Has Station at Azores.
The navy now has station at the
Azores and officers believe an arrange.
ment with the Portuguese government
under which the station will be conttn-
ued for some time at least is to be
expected.
In discussing the future of the fleet
officers realize that the creation of a
league of nations may produce new
considerations.
As the United States is sponsor for
the proposal for world league. 1t is
assumed a concerted plan has been
mapped out for President Wilson by
his military advisers. This would in
clude the proposal of an organization
under which the combined fleets would
operate to police the world.
Most Practical Way.
The most practical way for arrang-
Ing for an international police force
of the seas, many officers believe, is
to SO provide that the locality of the
disturbance to be quelled govern the
composition of any international. fleet
to be sent to ths>Scene. That also
would obviate any difficulty as to Sc
lecting the officers to command.
Should the trouble arise in q Sec
ton of the world where British inter-
ests were dominant, it was suggested,
the major portion of the naval forces
to be assembled would be British and
the commander British with squad
rons of the other naval powers at
tached to show the unity of purpose.

For Itching Torture

There is one remedy that seldom fails
to stop itching torture and relieve skin
irritation and that makes the skin soft,
clear and healthy.
Any druggist can supply you with
zemo, which generally overcomes all
skin diseases. Acne, eczema, itch, pim-
plies, rashes, blackheads, in most cases
give way to zemo. Frequently, minor
blemishes disappear overnight. Itching
usually stops instantly. Zemo is a safe,
antiseptic liquid, clean, easy to use and
dependable 1t costs only 35c; an extra
large bottle, $100. 1t will not stain. is
not greasy or sticky and is positively
safe for tender, sensitive skins.

1T MEANS FIGHT

n HERE can be do lodging
W the bitter truth that the
upshot of affairs in Rus
sia has turned greatly to the
advantage of the kaiser and
makes the allied path to victory
more difficult.
The Germans now have ac-
cess to RuSsia's resources and
they are vast. There is a
chance an effort may be made
to turn some Russian manpower
against the armies, of democra-
cy and freedom. On the other
hand such a proceeding would
be risky for the Teutons. Given
a gun the Russ might turn to
shooting the wrong way. As
to supplies there is some hope
in the fact Russian industry IS
so disorganized that the kais-
er's agents viii have a job on
their hands, in getting what
they need.
But all in all the Russian out
look is dark for the allies. 1t
makes it more imperative that
there should be no inconclusive
peace. Should the war stop
now leaving the German auto
cracy in the saddle at home and
with German influence para
mount in central and eastern
Europe the world would face
a perilous future, indeed. We
must throw our shoulders back
and face the future with deter
mination and courage. There is
but one way the war can end
and whatever is necessary to
accomplish that end must be
done-whether it take another
year or 20 years.
