Relief Supplies Move Steadily
 To Americans Imprisoned Abroad
4BAs5 MAKE oyA 4ND p4RcEs ARE sxcHANcLD
By MARGUERITE YOUNG NEA Saff COrrespOndent

New York, Sept. 2--Nearly 5O,OO0 Americans are missing or are pris- oners of war, and their kith and kin have swamped authorities here with questions about them-includ- ing the question of how to inquire about them.
 Red Cross officials emphasize that the most direct source of informa. ton is your local Red Gross chapter headquarters, since It's officers are not overwhelmed by inquiries, and because they receive news of pris- oners promptly.
 However, here are the 10 most often-asked questions, with answers straight from top authorities:
 l. How often may . prisoner write home?
 A. Tn Germany, usually three letters, four postcards @ month for officers; two letters, four postcards monthly for non-coms and enlisted men. Tn Italy, one letter, one post card per week for all prisoners. Japan has no uniform rule! The decision seems to rest with the in- dividual prison camp commander. GET LETTERS, ANYWAY
 ?. Have you direct word that prisoners in the Far East have re- ceived cablegrams and letters?
 A. Letters-yes. Cables = no di- rect word yet. Efforts to get definite information in communications from prisoners are being made.
 3. Can I send package to a relative interned in the Philippines?
 A. Not now, but possibly later. Two exchange ships have sailed, carrying next-of-kin parcels as well as relief supplies and prisoners to be exchanged. Any future sailings must bearranged through the State Department and will be announced in time for relatives to send pack ages along.
 4. Can I send my son . Christi mas present?
 A. Yes if you mail 1t promptly. Red Cross Christmas parcels al- ready are being prepared. It may take four to six months to reach some prisoners, though a letter may get to a prisoner in Europe within one month.
 5. What can I send Q friend in a prison camp in Europe?
 A. Only books mailed direct from bookseller or publisher, unless you

These hillnen, whose regions the Japanese have not been able to oc- cupy, have remained firmly loyal to the British.
 Brig. Gen. Charles Orde Wingate, leader of the British commando unit which last spring filtered through Burma's jungles and dis rupted the enemys communica- tions to the 1rrawaddy and beyond repeatedly praised these tribesmen for their cooepration which, he said, was important in the success of the expedition.
 W. I. J. Wallace, chief of the Burma governments civil defense department, here with other for mer British and Burmese admins trators of Burma to plan its re- construction, told me 1t was because British civil officers remained in these areas, sometimes within a mile or two of Japanese outposts, that the tribesmen's loyalty was so strong.
 Its self-evident that any land attack must go through their land and we know they will help us," Wallace said.
 Wallace declared that they al-- ways had been amazingly loyal" because the British had given them "a reasonable deal" and through the years had protected their mi- nority rights.
 These tribesmen, while really few GA per cent of Burma's 16,- 000, 0,000), occupy 40 per cent of Burma, much of which has re- mained in Allied hands, Most of the Shans, peace-loving peoples of the northeast, are under Japanese domination. But most of the re- mainder, the head-hunting Nagas and war-like Kachins and Chins, are free-so free, in fact, that large tracts have never been brought un- der British administration.
 The NagaS especially have been helpful to United States Army forces on the Burma border. They have worked hard for the Amer

Operating in violation of the lew as they do, stock owners who slaughter for the black narkess must bury or otherwise destroy all parts not readily marketable as meat, in order to hide the, evidence of their unlawful activity.
 Glycerine Loss
 Fat contains at least 10 per cent giycerine, the essential chemical of warfare which has no substitute in the manufacture of q score of war materials. Besides gunpowder and other explosives, glycerine is irre- placeable in the preparation of the Iiiracle-working sulfa drugs, which have saved thousands of lives in this war and will save many more before final victory is won.,
 With imports of oils and fats cut of until the Japs are chased out of the Pacific our major source of vitally needed glycerine is the fats from the packing houses and the kitchens of America. Consider the great damage done to the war ef- fort when a thousand head of cattle are butchered and marketed illegally.

news promptly.
 8. Can you verify authenticity of Axis shortwave radio messages from prisoners?
 A. No. Prisoners of war mes. sages are picked up here, are for- warded to the Provost Marshal General, then relayed to next-of- kin.
 TRANSFERS DELAY MAIL
 g. I received several letters from my husband when he was first taken prisoner in Italy, and was recovering from what he said was 8 slight wound. Now for two months I have not heard from him. Would I be told if he were more seriously hurt than he said?
 A. Your country should be noti- fled of any change of status" in your husbands case and the infor- nation sent to you. Silence may be due to war conditions such as disruption of transportation, or your husbands being transferred from a hospital to 8 camp where mail is slower.

 A major problem now in these areas is the acquisition of even the primitive necessities of the people, especially rice, salt, cloth anddahs 0ong jungle knives). These goods they formerly received in trading centers on the Burma plain. They are too far from India and the routes are too tortuous to bring much in overland.
 Another important body of men which should be especially impor- tant in the Burma campaign is the remnants of the Burma Regiment. ::"Think how useful such a large body of men who know the country will be to an invading force," Wal lace said.
 This regiment is a conglomerate organization, composed of Burma's frontier force, military police and Burma Rifles, racially of Kachins, Chins, Karens, Burmese, Gurkhas, Sikhs and Punjabi Mussulmanns. One of their units accompanied the Wingate expedition.
 A cross-country thrust over 8,000- foot, river-cut, thickly-grown hills, along a 600-,nile land front may be- come one of the toughest military campaigns in history physically, but with the population on their side within the border area the Allies al- ready are a huge step on their way.

us to believe the Axis handles prls- Oners in the same way?
 A. Our government adheres strictly to the Geneva Convention of 1929 Relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War. In addition to obvious humanitarian considera- tions, we may hape that our policy will react to the advantage of our our prisoners.
 The international agreement, ad- hered to by 42 nationsfi establishes the rights of prisoners of war: im- prisonment in healthy places; food equal to that provided troops of the detaining power; clothing; self organization with elected represen- tatives to deal with camp com- mandants and also with delegates of the International Red Cross Committee in Geneva. Sixty-three delegates of Swiss nationality are functioning; prisoners representa- tives may talk to them privately. FUNDS ESTABLISHED
 Germany and Italy maintain contact with the International Red Cross Committee. Various proposals for solving relief problems have been presented to the Japanese

 NAMES STILL COME IN
 .. Can you get information about soldier presumably taken at COrregidor but not listed among officially reported prisoners?
 A. Lists of those taken early in 1922 still are coming gradually from Japan. The Prisoners of War Information Bureau, under the Provost Marshal General, makes every effort to inform the family before the man is listed. If you have reason to believe you missed receiving official notification, ask your local Red Cross chapter to look into the case. If one of your family Is listed as missing, be sure to keep his branch of the service informed of any change in your address so that you receive further

 Pork and Powder
 Tn short, a pork chop that is of- fered for, sale in the, black market represents the dead loss of 225 pounds of gunpowder, because a whole hog had to be slaughtered in order that you could buy 1t. This amount of hog fats would have been enough to fire 600 37-mm. anti-air- craft shells. It would have fired 1900 rounds from a 50 caliber air. plane cannon. It would have made 30 pounds of nitroglycerine, one of the deadliest and most effective ex- plosives yet invented.
