ENGLISH PRISON TO FATHERLAND Repatriates Shocked at Treatment They Receive "Fool for Going Back. LONDON. July 15 (By Wireless Service) . Germans who are sent back to Germany after having been Interned In England, are shocked at the treatment they receive and at conditions prevailing In the Fatherland. This 1b shown by letters receiver by friends from some of the prisoners who have been repatriated. "About 10 o'clock In the morning," writes one, "we left for the good old Fatherland. The first stop we made was at Oochlngery, where we were kept six days for examination. From - there 1 was sent to Dortmund, where I was forced by the military to work In a munitions factory. I stuck It out for three days. "Well, you know In what condition I was when I left England. I had to handle 100 pounds of shells and more, I tried my best, but I was not strong enough for the work, so the third day I told them I was too weak and left the place. "I was then ordered to do only Government work, as otherwise I should be taken for the army. Well, I thought this took the cake after being interned three and a half years. "I thought I would get my liberty in the fatherland, but I really was worse off than at the English camp. "I sold all my things as quickly as I could, and on the night ofthe I deserted Into Holland. It was a foggy night and a long and dangerous march. Well, dear friend, I think you would have done the same. "I give you my word of advice! Whatever you do, don't apply for repatriation. You get less to eat In Germany than where you are at present. I was a fool for going back." Another recaptured prisoner writes: " I have been here about 10 days. But what a disillusion. Things are not is they used to be; everything Is itrange, and one rushes about like a lost sheep. Yes, so it is, Paul, and consider well before you act. Our business here is absolutely dead. My new boots I ran easily sell for a hundred marks ($25), my suit of clothes for about 200 marks ($50). I need say no more. The prices paid for food are unheard of." The following is a message sent to a prisoner in England from Germany: "You are In heaven as compared with us. Don't come to the Fatherland If you can help it. We are all famished. Papa Bays you have more , to eat la camp than we here."

Both of Them Are Named Daniels, But One is Josephus and the Other's Joe

The aide of Josephus Daniels, secretary of the navy, is Joseph Daniels. But the similarity in names is a coincidence and isn't responsible for the selection of Joseph as aide. He has been overseas throughout the war with Admiral Sims and his viewpoint is much desired. Pie is one of the examples of the success of Josephus' plan of promotion on merit Joseph, as a third class apprentice boy at seventeen, rose to the title of commander.
