Germany Has Pledged to Let

Through the Spanish ambassador al
Berlin arrangements have been made
whereby American prisoners in Ger.
many, both civilian and military, will
be allowed to receive money from
home. They will perhaps not receive
actual cash, but will probably be given
credit on prison exchanges.
A. I'd Sixty marks (about SIS at
normal exchange rates, but probably
considerably less now) may be spent
weekly by officers and others of SIM
liar rank; (2) 80 marks weekly (about
Sl2) by noncommissioned officers and
privateS.
b. Civilian prisoners-(D Sixty
marks weekly "fOr men of better So
cial positions;" (2) 80 marks weekly
for others.
The note of the Spanish ambassador
says: with a view to obtaining par

lowed at any time to draw on their
credit"
All money sent interned civilians
or prisoners should be remitted
through the Bureau of Prisoners
Relief, American Red Cross, Washing

REDUCTION Of FIRE LOSSES
Lightning Does Damage IL .Un9eed

prepared BY the United States Depart.
Z ment Of Agriculture.)
Lightning, especially In rural dis
tricts, Is a source Of great danger and
is responsible for the loss Of valuable
property. The annual fire loss due to
lightning in the United States aver
ages about $8O00,OOO, and by far the
greatest part Of this loss is In rural
districts. The only protection against
it is the lightning rod. Many people
hold the opinion that lightning rods do
not protect a building at all, and that
they actually increase the danger ii
they are not properly installed. But 1t
is now definitely known that they af-
ford some protection in almost every
case, and If they are installed properly
and intelligently they reduce the risk
of loss from lightning to an almost
negligible quantity. From such statis-
tics as are available regarding damage
from lightning in parts of the United
States and Canada where thundsr
storms are frequent, it has been fosnd
that properly installed rods reduce the
probability of a barn being destroyed
by lightning by something like 90 per
cent, and of q house by as much as 80
