Red Cross Feeds U. S. Prisoners.

Red Cross Feeds U. S. Prisoners.
Captured American soldiers arriving
in German prison camps will find
American Red Cross emergency food
! parcels awaiting them if arrangements
already in operation are fully carried
out. At the prison camp at Tuchel, in
West Prussia, 81 miles northwest Of
the Austrian border, permission has
been obtained to store emergency sup
plies, and $50 10-pound food parcels
have been shipped there from the Red
Cross headquarters for relief Of pris-
oners at Berne, Switzerland, for dis
tribution to newly arrived prisoners.
There are about rs Americans in the
Tuchel camp at present.
It is hoped that arrangements can be
made in the near future whereby all
or nearly all Of the German prison
camps will be stocked with similar
emergency supplies in anticipation of
the wants of those who are unfortu-
nate enough to fall into the hands of
the enemy. There are approximately
200 main prison camps IN Germany,
and some 10000 prison groups, count
ing the small detachments of prison
ers sent out to do farm labor. The
American Red Cross plans to supply
all these work camps as well as others
where American prisoners are held,
with the regulation food parcels.
The above parcels constitute only a
preliminary ration, which is intended
to feed the prisoner from the time of
his arrival at camp to the time that
he has been officially notified to the
central committee in Berne. AS soon
as this notification is received by the
committee, however, he is placed on
the regular parcel list and three or
four 1O-pound parcels containing food,
toilet articles, and clothing, are sent
to him every two weeks. Each parcel
contains also return post card on
which the prisoner notes the receipt of
the parcel. These cards are immedi-
ately sent back to the committee at
Berne, and in this way a complete
check is kept Of all parcels so sent -.s
