including fuel oil, and natural gas,
fertilizer and its | ingredients, and
tools, utensils, implements, ma
chinery and equipment requited for

we learn that the same wires are

i>£ the excessive strain to which
they were subjected. Perhaps the
wires have had a complete break

TO AMERICANS
IN GERMANY
American prisoners of war in I
Germany jvill be furnished enough j
food [for their subsistence independ
ently of rations provided them by
the Germans. The American Red
Cross, |through arrangements with
the British Central Prisoners of Waq
Committee, is doing- this for the
American prisoners in Germany, of
whim there are now 101, and &
committee of the American Red

Benre, Switzerland, to do this
worlc in ithe future. This commit
tee will work directly under the
American Red Cross and [will take
over all the work of provisioning:
American soldiers and 'sailors who

The Food Division of the Sur
geon [General's Office has assisted
the Red Cross In the preparation of

drates, and heat units which food
authorities consider adequate for
an inactive man. It gives [ 2,800
