1871 HUN PRISONERS
ARE SENT TO GERMANY

New York, Sept 27.--Hundreds OF
German sailors, most of whom had
been identified with commerce raid
Ing exploits during the war and all of
them prisoners of war, marched silent
ly aboard the steamer Pocahontas YES
terday to return In defeat to their ma
tive land.
Even the ship they sailed upon was
a poignant reminder of the oyerwhelm-
Ing disaster that had befallen their
country, for as the Pocahontas, oncethe
Princess Irene, was one of the great
ships with which Germany In peace
had bid for the supremacy of the seas.
There were 1874 German men, WON
en- and children who boarded the Po-
cahontas, the great majority of them
sailors, and there was scarcely n
place that their eyes could rest which
did not bear witness TO the change
which had come over the fortunes of
themselves and their empire since they
first landed on American shores.

PIttsburg, Sept 27.--The close on

Developments for Monday.
Representatives Of several large
corporations. including the Carnegie
Steel company, let IL be known that
they look for a big influx of men
Monday morning. They eontended
that the strikers would then have
had week Of idleness, and finding
that Il large number Of men are still
at work and their own funds getting
low, thousands would seek their old
Jobs.
These views were combatted by
William n. Foster, secretary of the
steel workers national committee,

workers In the Pittsburg district had

OF men out of the Homestead works."
MIR. Foster said. THE situation looks
brighter than ever. We are going to
