FOR PWS GROWS The problem of getting sup plies to prisoners of war in lu rope is growing increasingly dif ficult, Mrs. Ruth Belew, prisoner of war consultant of the San Francisco office has notified the Red Cross here.

The International Red Cross committee has been informed that tinned goods would be punc tured as soon as they arrive to force immediate consumption, Mrs. Belew pointed out. Not only do food packages inuve siowiy u ai an wimtn Eu rope, but a recent order of the German high command limits reserve stocks in camps to a maximum of eight weeks' sud- ply. The German order follows: "It is hereby ordered, state security requires a drastic reduc tion in the stocks of foodstuffs in tins from Red Cross supplies, and also out of personal parcels in Depots ana also in tne posses ion of individual prisoners of war. The contents of tins already on hand and of tins which arrive have got to be used quickly by the prisoner of war after paying attention to security censorship."
