RELIEF TO PRISONERS OF WAR

According to recent statement
by Carl j. Burckhardt, president of
the International Committee of the
Red Cross, in Geneva, Switzerland,
Adolf Hitler, late in March, 1916,
gave orders to execute all American
and British airmen held captive in
Germany, This statement has been
substantiated by American prisoners
of war, recently liberated and re-
turned by air from Germany, who
were in position to know the facts.
Hitler's order was in revenge for
the bombing of German cities, parti-
cularly Dresden. One important rea-
son why the order was not carried
out by German army commanders
was because they knew that the Am
erican and British governments had
faithfully endeavored to carry out
their obligations under the Geneva
Convention toward enemy prisoners
of war;
After all the hardships of incarcer-
alton in Germany, and apart from
normal mortality, over SO per cent
of American prisoners of war will re-
turn home
Muck anxiety appears to have
been caused in the United States by
the lack of understanding of the
difference between concentration
camps and prisoner of war camps.
The latter, SO far as American and
other Allied prisoners of war Except
Soviet Russian) were concerned, en-
joyed the protection of the Geneva
Convention. In spite of all their eff
forts, Swiss delegates of the Inter
national Red Cross were not per-
mitted to visit the concentration
camps for German and other Euro
pean political prisoners and slave
laborers. But they regularly visited
prisoner of war camps.
The fact that over 80 percent of
our American prisoners captured by
Germany are now returning home,
and that the American Red Cross
has been able to get large volume
of relief supplies to American and
other Allied prisoners of war, is due
in great part to the correct obser-
vance by the American Army Of the.
Geneva Convention.

AMERICAN FAT SALVAGE
COMMITTEE, INC.

May 81, 1916

May 81, 1916
Dear Editor:
We have been shopping around in
garbage cans with the assistance of
building superintendent, janitors,
an officials of the Department of San
itation, and find that great deal of
used kitchen fat is going to waste.
Very frequently there are partially
filled cans of used fat in apartment
house and private home refuse which
indicates that women have started to
save fat but tired of the task and
therw it away instead of rushing it
to their meat dealer.
Housewives apparently get. dis
couraged if used cooking fat gets
little high" or accumulates too
slowly. Used fat can help make syn
thetic rubber. fabrics, paints and
help meet thousands of other war
and home front needs, but it cannot
be put to work until it is burned over
TO meat dealer who is the start of
the production line.
Meat dealers, acting as collection
StNbAOho, 1hu pay 1HS Jul CdoI dltu Icu
ration-points for used fat, have done
a magnificent war time job. So have
the American women who have saved
and turned in every possible ounce
OF cooking grease so it may be avail
able to fat hungry American indus
tries.
We would greatly appreciate it if
you would call the attention of the
ladies in your community to the fact
that even though many thousands of
pounds of used kitchen grease are
saved, if they are never turned in
only half of a good job has been
done.
Sincerely yours,
Alexander Williams,
Information Director
