The British lately have secure
some interesting captives. One pris-
oner, who had been thrice wounded,
made a statement in eubetanee as fol-
low:: The scarcity of felon at dome is
very serious. Thew is little meat and
fatty substances, and •practically no
bread. Potatoe, are very expensive.
although there ie no serious shortage.
The peuple aro in a state of unrest,
but are afraid to attempt orgarlieed

earners in nearly all German (.awns.

Another prisoner said that for a

Enlneror William, in reviewing a di-
vision after the battle of Cambrai,
said: "Peace on the Russian front
is assured, It remains for us to

front in France and Belgium the mili-
tary operations apparently are in-
creasing all along the line, as com-

Entente allied warships have bom-

coast, while around Ypres, helween
Lens and St, Quentin, on the Chemin

there has been a notable increase in
