London.-Two German officers re.

OF confidential British dispatches, but
they did not know It.. -. :
The story Is one Of the many adven-
turous incidents which befall that Sc
lect body Of British public servants

The PARTICULAR messenger who out
witted the two German officers was
burdened with II bags of dispatches
for a British embassy, and he had to
change trains at night at a station in
q neutral country. His heap Of bag
gage was near the sleeping compart-

there was no porter available. He had
only put five Of the bags into the COM

was sounded that the train was start

The messenger was in dilemma.
he could not let the five bags go with

dozen on the platform. At that mo.

cavalry officers. twas a risk to speak
to them, but in his best South German
dialect and with his face inzshadow he
requested their help. They were less
naughty than the average German Of
hcer and each one lent a hand.
The last bag was bundled aboard
with the train already in motion, and
the messenger waived his thanks. then
locked the door and collapsed on the
nearest seat. = -

finally to put the soldiers on stretchers.

London.-AN England has been
stirred by the. return Of 800 soldiers
and civilian prisoners Of war from
huhleben, Germany, some of whom are
nshermen who were surprised by the
Germans In the North sea Immediately
after the declaration Of war, and had
therefore been prisoners almost from
the first day Of hostilities. u.
It is not because of the stories they
tell, for their lips have been sealed so
1ar' as their own sufferings are con-
cerned by order of the government
The remark Of one of the civilians to
an old friend who met the party-"We
are fairly all right, but we have all got
barbed-wire fever"-is said to contain
the whole story. Englishmen know
what that means, and there is nowhere
any desire to reverse the governments
order.
Symptoms Of 6arbed-Wire Fever.

strain that is telling with increasing
force-especially in the case OF the old.

cise-upon the hundreds of men who
have spent over three years on that I'M

Guardian. =, -
"They were bitterly disappointed
that the attempt Of our government to
abolish Ruhleben altogether by an ex-
change, however it might advantage
the Germans. came to nothing. and
many Of the repatriated men are con-
WINGED that there may be an increase
OF mental cases if Ruhleben continues
much longer. You could see the marks
OF nervous excitement on many of the
faces, and probably the reaction from
being set free will be felt severely by
the men Of more sensitive minds"
From few Of the civilian prisoners
something Of the condition of affairs in
Germany was learned-illustration
supporting the general impression. &C.
cording to the Daily Telegraph, "that
the war has entirely changed the con-
dltfons of life in the enemy country,
which has ceased altogether to display
that air Of cheerful prosperity which
characterized the Germany of peace
days." ,
Germany, it was said, presented the
appearance Of a country under
blight"

Il was very much struck when trav-
cling through the country" said one
OF the men, with the. dead look of ey-
erything. Even in one Of the great
towns through which we passed there
seemed to be little going on, and the
railway stations were almost entirely
deserted. On the line between Span
lau and Hanover we did not see a
single passenger train, and the goods
traffic appeared to be quite negligible.
The fields were devoid of cattle, and
on the whole journey I saw less than
a score Of Sheep"
Other men with observant eyes had
come to the conclusion that the fuel
shortage in Germany must be acute.
because though the weather was bit
terly cold smoke could rarely be seen
issuing from chfmneys. Another thing
that struck them was the extent to
which women are doing work on the
