LONDON.-T- he first authentic account of life among British captives In Germany, showing that letters home paint a rosier picture of fundi-tion- a than they really are. is contained in a pamphlet, "Prisoners of War," published on behalf of the war organization of the British Red Cross society and the Order of St. John of Jerusalem. These prisoners number about 90, 000, of whom some 6.000 are civilian Internees, ranging from a little girl of five to elderly men. The chief worry Is food, and here the Red Cross la doing a magnificent Job. The ordinary diet is covered by the International Convention, giving prisoners the seine scale of rations as the depot troops of the detaining country. It la a low standard for Britiih and Dominion troops, though It will keep a man from starving. Soma Bright Spot. The Red Cross, with its affiliated groups, tries to supply each prisoner with a pared worth 10s. of good things every week, plus tnbacco, and these after considerable trouble in the early days now gel through regularly, and art the bright spots in the men's lives. But once the men have ceased to be hungry, the mental stagnation has to be coped with. It la the waste of years of their livea that gets them down. They have to rely on their own ingenuity to keep their ininds active, and the Red Cross tries to provide the means to keep them from becoming despondent.

Some German doctors have bad remarkable ucceasea In plastic surgery.

'mpanjj; t Undoubtedly the most serious problem faciug thi slate of Utah and Its future Is the development ia the mining Industry. Mining virtually since (bo founding of this territory In 1317, has been one nf the backbone Industries of Utah. Trior to the influx of war Industries into thn state, mining supported directly and indirectly about one half the population. During recent years there has been a noticeable decline In ibe development of new mclal producers. Production has been rnming largely from Uia older established mines. Now prospect work baa been practically nil and development work In the older mines and older districts boa been reduced by one hair. Mining cannot endure tinder such conditions. If ths Industry la to contlnuo n pound of ora must bo drvd(iol for every pound that ia mined. Many citizens will nak why this has not been dons. Promotion of new ventures has been virtuallymining alimlnaleJaW by atrict and arbitrary regulation!" and development In the older minea has been sacrificed in order to keep operating in the face of continually rising costs. Ths latter have eaten up the margin which was art aside for development formerly of new ore bodies. In addition It la not realized that ora lioil lea today ara more difficult to find. The surface hai been combed over and It ia necessary to probe deeper Into the earth to find ore. Not only do mines need as much, but they need to ba allowed to set aside more of their revenue for development work. Mining la too often classed as n manufact tiring enterprise. It la vastly different. Mines ara dependent upon whims of nature and when n ton of ora la mined It ia gone forever; it dose not grow again, another ton must be found or the mlna will soon see the end of its life. |
