SURPLUS LARGELY INCREASED.
New England Tel. & Tel Co. Heard at
Annual Meeting To-day.

Boston, Feb. l9.-The annual meeting
of the New England Telephone & Tele-
graph company was held to-day. The re-
port of the directors covers only the first
seven months of 1918, due to the fact
that on August the government took
over the control and operation of all
telephone companies. The total operat-
ing revenues for the seven months pc
Rod were $4,000, S04S7 and the oper.
ating Expenses $9,009,93s.27. Adjust
ments of taxes, etc, due to the federal
control and operation of the telephone
properties of the country resulted in
charges against surplus, so that the to-
tai increase in surplus for the seven
months period amounts to $3.50, 1877.
During the seven months, the number
of owned stations had increased by 25,-
Gas, making the then total number of
owned stations 607 ,052. The number of
employees on that date was l3,4lS. This
represented a reduction accounted for
by the fact that approximately rs per
cent Of the male forces of the company
entered the government service. The
actual number of those so enrolled was
1869, and there were IL deaths, nine
killed and nine died of disease. The re-
port is signed by ExPresident Spalding,
who was succeeded on Feb. | by Matt B.
Jones.

GERMAN TYRANT GIVEN
NO PREFERENCE
Was Forced to Stand in Line with I'm
washed Refugees in Order to Get
Food After He Had Fled
Into Holland.

The Hague, Feb. 10 Correspondence of
the Associated Press Baron Won der
Lancken, formerly German civil governor
of Belgium, sought refuge in Holland
when the Germans retreated from Bel
GUM. Won der ,Lancken was the man TO
whom the American minister, Brand
Whitlock, delivered his vain appeal to
spare the life of Edith Cavell, the Eng
lish nurse who was executed by the Ger
mans in October, 1915, for aiding the
British, French and Belgian soldiers to
escape from Belgium. Won der Laneken
then told Hugh Gibson, secretary of the
American legation, that the sentence i'm
posed by the military governor on Miss
Cavell was final and that the civil gov
ernor could not oyerrule it.
When Won der Lancken arrived here
he went to the German legation, but in
order to obtain food cards, he had to APP
ply to the police station, where he failed
miserably in his efforts to obtain prefer
entail treatment as distinguished Wis
itor." A chance caller there found him
in line with group of unwashed refu-
gees, his well-groomed figure out of keep
ing with his surroundings. He was com
PEELED tor stand in line for two hours be-
fore his wants were attended to.
To one who remembers the time when
to get word from Won der Lancken in
Brussels it was necessary to give two
days notice, after which one had to
struggle through a bodyguard of
naughty, suspicious underlings, the spec
tacle of this exquisite specimen of Prus-
sian junkerdom waiting his turn in the
file amid the grimy proletariat afforded
an excellent illustration of "the times
that are changed"

If the Germans Observe the

COUNTRY is. FACING
BIG FOOD SHORTAGE
People Are in a Restless and

Paris, Feb. l9.-Captain Walter R.
Gherardi of the United States navy, who
has been in Germany for two weeks
studying economic and general condi-
tions, has returned to Paris and reports
that he found much unemployment
throughout the country and restless,

of the immediate future. He says Ger
many's food supplies are limited to near
ly exhausted reserves, which cannot last
longer than next month, leaving great
gap to be filled before harvest
The German army, he says, has shrunk
TO insignificance and is no longer formid-
able. If the Germans observe the new
armistice terms now being framed, in
Volving disarmament of all but a suffi-
cient number of soldiers to prevent in
ternal disorders, most of thesentente rep
resentatives here believe that France
need have no further fear from that
quarter and that there can be no reason

PRISONERS EAGER TO WORK.

ella of COnnaught. II shows, too, the re-
sourcefulness of the English captives
in the German camp at Ruhleben and
how occupation not only kept them
healthy in mind but actually, according
to physicians, saved the lives of many
who would have succumbed to despair.
In the early days of the camp the
craftsmen among the prisoners found the
greatest difficulty in obtaining materials.
A bit of wood or scrap Of old iron was
a prize.
Among the exhibits is a dainty little
machine, perfect in every detail. Be
fore the artifcer could make it, he had
to steal the brass knob from the COM
mandant's door.
A triple expansion engine in running
order represents eighteen weeks labor
The raw materials were scraps of metal
found in the camps ash can.
You see pretty purses and handbags.
They were made from the skins of rats
trapped by the prisoners
Toward the end there was established
at the camp a well-organized handicraft
department with about 800 pupils, in art
metal work, bookbinding, woodcarving
and carpentry
The exhibition is to help repatriated
prisoners, but many of the exhibits are
not for sale, the makers refusing to part
with work that cost them such patient
toll
