fortunate men succcumbed.
The escaped prisoner also de-
scribed how at Hbau the Germans
dressed ten British prisoners like

told them to row from a wrecked
ship to a German destroyer.
They were hauled on board the
German destroyer. and given cof-

to Introduce and promote the habit
of savings In families where this vir-
tue had been practically unknown.
1t has also been shown that in the
cases of hundreds Of families, OF ex-
ceedfngly limited means. from whom
no liberty bonds sales or Red Cross
contributions had been reported, war
savings and thrift stamps he'd proved
popular. Their Individual purchases
were small. Of course, in many in
stances amounting to only one 25-
cent thrift stamp a week, yet the COM
mittee is satisfied. that the disposi-
tion to save and help the government
in the winning of the war was there.
which evidenced itself in many sac.
rifices.
In one section OF the city particu-
1arly, inhabited by persons whose con-
dition in life is not only bare of all
luxurfes. but many necessities as well.
