Iiritlsh Hcd Cross Commissioner Krncst Hart in a roiiort to Prince Olricnbcrg, pa tron of all sanitary work in Hussln, contrasts the good aiipcarnnco and general hcaltlifulncss of Cicrman lirtaoncrs of war with the distressful condition of Russia war prisoners roturnlng from Germany, at the time of their exchargo at Torneo on the Swedish frontier.

Several of the men wero wearing the samo cot ton clothing given out to thorn in tho hospital, with worn-out slippers i on their feet and no soels, and they had traveled In this condition from Kocnlgsberg in Germany, through Swode.i and into Russian territory at Torneo. .Many of the men wero lll:e siMic-crows so ragged nnd filthy was tneir condition, and one was clothen In tho uniform of a dead MAKE ORNAMENTS 'SUBMARINE WARFARE IFRENCH EMPLOYING FROM EXPLODED SHELS, BRINGS UP NEW FISH CHINESE WORKMEN I'Yetirli Soldiers inuso Themselves , Tremendous Quantities of I'likiioun ' I'liicllcc Is Xecessury Remtiso So Mil- "111 tho largo school house at Tor-j 1'iench prisoner of war.

"I spoko to several prisoners, who wore grateful for tho treatment they . had received both on the journey from Petrograd and at tho hospital. They wero cleanly and physically In ns good condition as tho injuries they had rccolvcd in battle permitted. That Is to say they wcro'well nour ished. Wlioro their own clothing was deficient, or worn out they had received fresh clothing including a warm overcoat, a cap and often boots.

I also crossed Into llapar nnda and Inspected tho arrangements of tho Swedish Red Cross under Dr. Nnuchkoff, who spoke very highly of tho completeness and humanity or the treatment of tho injured pris oners of war by tho Russian author ities, n was very clear that tho Swedish authorities did not hold In tho samo favorable opinion or tho treatment of Russian prisoners by tho Gormans, nnd I was Informed at Haparanda thnt they wero Bent out of Gormnny in n painfully dirty and nc- Cnrvlnjr on Hits of (ionium Al uminum and Copper tlljr AumlalPl Prc la Coon liar Timet 1 PARIS. Oct. s. Many metal arti sans and engravers sen lug In tho nr tlllery devote their leisure moments to carving ornaments from aluminum nnd copper taken from exploded Ger man shells. These souvenirs, made beneath the bomb proof shelters at tho front, have been highly prized by tho recipients at home, and until a short time ago It was impossible to buy them. Recently a society was organized, whoso aim Is to dispose of these trin kets; tho proceeds of their sale be ing forwarded directly to the men themselves. Kaoh nitlclo Is Becom ing tho Imprisonment. They nro duced samples or the bread that was ' l'anlud by a card bearing tho name given them, It being ostrcmoly hard I nlltl military address or the maker, nnd mouldy and mixed with potatoes aml 'r desired the put chaser may re am! even particles or straw.

They wero frequently struck by tholr German guards with tho butts of their rifles or tho flat of their swords. .Many Ale Diseased "One of tho worst features of the condition of tho returned Rucslnn prisoners wns the number of cases of tuberculosis. Tlicso numbered come sixty out of tho 2150 men returned nnd I was told that tho usual number was about 20 per cent. Tho cases of tuberculosis nnionu tho German nnd Austrian prisoners, on tho other hand, wore only flvo to six per cent out of the total of 12d0 already ex changed. ' Some of tho returned Russian prisoners had lost their feet while In Germany, from frost-bltea duo to exposure. Thero havo been no such ensos among tho German and Aus- rlngs; four leaf clovers, horse shoes, and occasionally sonic special mark of tho regiment arc also employed. Exploded shells, and fragments, aro used In many Parisian homes as flower pots, vases for cut flowers, umbrella stands, and similar uses.

During the past few months of tho war, tremendous quantities of a spe cies of fish unknown to Scandinavian waters, and driven In, It Is supposed, by the disturbance of the bcii caiiBcd by siimbarlne waifare, havo been caught off the Swedish coast near Gothenburg nnd appear as a novelty on tho menus of the restaurants in Stockholm. Although these fish are said to bo quite common in south ern seas whore they are known as "ton" fish, they havo never before been caught In this part of the world. A record catch wns made a few days ago near Gothenburg by a man who brought In 050 fish every one of them weighing more than liiO kilos. Since more of those fish are taken In dally than, can possibly be used for rood, oil has been mndo from them, but It Is said to bo of an In ferior sort and hardly worth tho cost of iimnufiicUire. With tho exception or this gratui tous offering, Sweden Is by no means oorsupplled with food. Prices of fered for rood abroad, particularly In Germany, have been so enticing, and exports havo consequently been so large that Sweden now rinds herself In the predicament of not having en ough supplies ror herself. ny Men Have Kelt Kor The War Pr AiwIttM TfPM to tx flair TlmM.

Tho cost of our Army and Navy is greater In proportion to Its slzo than thnt or any other nation on earth.
