reality there were two bridges, a rail-
foad bridge. and one for foot passen-

o'clock in the morning. The rain

the unexpected and of gloom. At any

into panic.
Suddenly from out of nowhere,
down the rails, came locomotive, a

prisoners, those clinically cured as we'll
as those still needing treatment, we're
to be repatriated.
Following this the scope Of the re-
patrtatiOn program was vastly extend
ed when France, Germany and Bel
gium agreed to exchange all prisoners
of war forty-eight years of uge and
older who had been interned more than
eighteen months. This applied, to prl-
Yates and noncommissiOned officers
only. Commissioned officers were to
be interned in Switzerland.
And lastly another agreement was
brought about by the efforts of the
Swiss government. 1t still further ex-
tended the scope of the exchange con-
ditions. All civil prisoners were to be
freed.
Many Return to Homes.
The freeing and exchanging of these
prisoners has been in progress for some
time. Long trains filed with these for
mer soldiers are passing through
Switzerland every day in both direc-
tions. taking these unfortunate victims
back to their old homes.
Up to the middle of last month moro
than 100000 prisoners Of war had
passed. through Switzerland on their
way to liberty. Some Of these soldiers
were|in most pitiable state. The peo-
pie Of Switzerland played the part of
the good Samaritan by feeding, CLOTH
ing and consoling these poor sufferers.
In addition Switzerland has been the
connecting link in mail communication
between belllgerent countries. Up to
the first of June Switzerland without
charge transported 19,796.OOO letters
and cards to prisoners Of war. 457, 600
parcels weighing no more than two
! pounds, 414,G79OOO letters and cards
in transit. 19,526OOO small parcels in
transit. 6,364. 600 parcels containing
brend sent to Germany and Austria,
78,S16.000 parcels weighing up to ten
pounds and 9,4S9,OOO money orders
transmitting an aggregate amount Of

When Horse. Get "Plpped..

When an army horse is wounded
about the face or jaw It is not sent
down. to the veterinary lines. but is
kept to be tended by its driver.
Then 1t is that good drivers care
comes in. for the men tend them most
carefully. feeding them by hand, boil
ing their oats. raaking them mashes,
and spending most of the day with
their charges until they can feed in
comfort again. It is this. personal
care Of the man for his horse that has
been the cause Of the new order that
all horses have to b returned from
hospital to their own units again; for a
MAS care is by no means transferred
to the same extent to a new team of
horses.

returned to their home lands up to the
middle of last month by the interven-
ton and good offices of Switzerland,
says the Bund, the mouthpiece Of the
Swiss government, in plea for more
generous and reciprocal treatment by
the belligerents.
After the war had begun Switzer-
land organized an international bureau
Of information for prisoners of war,
with it's seat ut Geneva. This bureau
forwarded information to the relatives
of prisoners of war and shipped food
and delicacies to the prisoners them
selves.
AS early as October, 1914. Switzer-
land suggested to the belligerents the
exchange of prisoners severely wound
cd. The pope became interested in
this matter and supported the efforts
of Switzerland. In February, 1915, an
agreement was reached regarding the
conditions of. exchange. Switzerland
placed the hospital trains Of its own
army at the disposal of the belliger-
ents for the transportation Of the
wounded.
The agreement was first entered into
by France and Germany. Later Aus
tria and Italy accepted the same terms.
Early in 1916 the Swiss federal coun-
Gil. aided by the pope, succeeded in
bringing about an agreement permit
ting the internment of severely wound
ed and sick prisoners of war, civil as
we'll as military, within Switzerland.
The Swiss undertook to manage this
vast work of charity.
Agreement 10 Reached.
Later the Swiss federal council, aid
ed by the international Red Cross Mt
Geneva, succeeded in inducing the bel
ligerents to again respect the interna-
tional agreement regarding hospital
and sanitary field workers.
International law demands the i'm
mediate discharge of members of sani-
tary detachments when taken prisoner.
This law was disregarded by belliger-
ents, but Switzerland's entreaties and
admonitions put Il stop to the practice
| md led to the liberation of these pris-
Oners.
Finally the agreement to exchange
the permanently disabled was reached
in March of last year. Efforts of the
Swiss federal council led to the ac-
ceptance of this agreement by France,
Germany and Belgium. 1t meant the
repatriation Of all prisoners Of war
permanently disabled to an extent

Long Loaves Are Most Economics

A loaf weighing one pound contains
II per cent Of water IL 1t is round
and only "a per cent If 1t is cylindrical:
Therefore, she who buys long loaves
gets 40 grammes more actual food for
her money than she who buys round
lOaves.
The reason for this is that thu
sphere is the figure that contains tho
largest possible volume under the
smallest possible surface, aud, as e.ap-
Grafton is a matter Of surface, this is
greater from cylinder than It u from
a sphere Of the same weight.

q muffled "d-n" and few other
qualifying adjectives, he stopped down
and took the man in his arms like a
baby-he was no feather, either-and
staggered down the ward with him, put
him in bed and undressed him. A low
murmur Of approval came from the pa
tients. Doctor Frost got very red, and
as soon as he had finished undressing
Palmer, hurriedly left the ward.
The wound in my face had almost
healed and was a horrible-looking
sight-the left cheek twisted into a
knot. the eye pulled down, and my
mouth pointing in a north by north
west direction. was very downheart-
ed and could imagine myself during
the rest of my life being Stunned by
all on account of the repulsive scar.
Doctor Frost arranged for me to go
to the Cambridge Military hospital at
Aldershot for special operation to
try and make the scar presentable.
I arrived at the hospital and got an
awful shock. The food was poor and
the discipline abnormally strict. No
patient was allowed to sit on his bed,
and smoking was permitted only at
certain designated hours. The face
specialist did nothing for me except
to look at the wound. I made appli-
cation for a transfer back to Paignton,
offering to pay my transportation.
This offer was accepted. and after two
weeks absence, once again I arrived
in Munsey ward. all hope gone.
Tho next day after my return Doc
tor Frost stopped at my bed and said !:
swell, Empey, IL you want me to try
and see what can do with that scar
I'll do it. but you are taking an. awful
chance" Is
answered: "well, doctor, Steve
Brodie took a chance; he halls from
New York and SO do l."
Two days after the undertaken
squad carried me to the operating
room or pictures" as we called them
because of the funny Aims we see un-
der ether, and the operation was per-
formed. It was a wonderful piece Of
surgery and a marvellous success.
