. Six American airplanes, recently re
ported as landing nt Coblcnz, really
landed on the Moselle, where the latter
Jojns the Ilhlne, having lost their bear-
l lngs. One of their objectives was n
bridge over the Khlne, whero the archies
becamo very violent. The Americana
were a)l Imprisoned In tho fortress ni
Ehrenbrcltsteln, which Is situated on n
high hill overlooking Coblenz and tho
Rhine, and Is considered one of the Im
pregnable fortresses of the Ithlne de
fenses, and Is almost unapprom-h.i'il"
Nevertheless, an American captain,
who piloted one machine, as well as tli
observer, managed to csrapo from the
fortress, to the astonishment of the Ger
mans, and had not been icctptureil up
until a few days ago, although thr
wholo country was scoured and all fchlps
and barges on the Ithlnu seie subjected
to a rigorous searching.
The Dutch papers, however, reported
tht the two American olllcers were
caught when trying to cross the Dutch
frontier from Oirmany n few days ago.

After encountering this nnd other
opposition, Dresel was ablo to Get the
relief work thoroughly organized be
fore tho wnr trade board selected him
to tako charge of the work of this
jrcat organization In Switzerland an
organization which Is purchasing mil
lions of dollars' worth of army sup
plies fioni Swiss factories, condensed
milk and chocolato concerns. Having
organized the lied Cross prison enmp
relief work, Dresel Is now buying all
tho lumber which our army Is using
In fiance for barracks nnd thousands,
of shirts, shoes nnd other nrmy sup
pllpy. From one bit; Job Diesel has
been drawn into another, and other
il'.n reprccntntlves of that great re
II 'f oriiar.lratioii h.ivo succeeded him.
Tho H Factory of Suspicion
One afternoon, In company with Carl
Taj lor, who Is now thu ollicial rcpie
sontntivo of tho A. II, C. In Switzer
land, I Inspected Duempllz and tho "box
tnnory of suspicion." The first thing
that f;reete 1 nip after entering the
large buildln?, which now has an elec
tric sign on the loof reading "Amcil
can lted Cross" (,t sign which all Ger
mans can read ns they le.ivo Switzer
land for Germany), was tho contents
of a box of supplies destined for one
of tho unfoiuinates. On a large sheet
of paper were spread tho supplies
food delicacies w Inch could not be
purchased unywlieie In Switzerland
and perhaps nowhere In Hut ope todiy
There was canned corn beef, roast
beef, salmon, corncd-beed hash, pork
and beans, dried beans, tomatoes, hard
bread, lice, evapomtod milL. butter,
sugar, coffee, Jam, prunes, inlslns, salt,
pepper, vinegar, chocolate, soap and
100 cigarettes. This was ono prison
er's supply for seven days.
In another box nearby everything
was pacKed ready for shipping to Ger
main'. In an adjoining room were
hundteds of these boxes, strong wood
en boxes, Into which similar quantities
and varieties of food we're packed. In
the ofllce was a list of Amcilcan pris
oners. Once every week ono box o
this food and cigarettes Is shipped to
Germany. Outside the factory, on the
railway siding, was ti largo ft eight car
ready for loading.
Sauntering through the building I
haw these rooms and floors tilled and
covered with supplies. Everything
which a soldier would or could wish
for. to keep his body healthy and
warm, was theie. Stockings nnd
sweaters which tender hands In tho
United States had knitted were on
shelves awaiting the request of a pris
oner. There were suits of clothing,
hnts. shirts underwear and shoes for
civilian, military or naval prisoners.
In a sepaiate room was stored the to
bacco, cigarettes and clgais contrib
uted in the United Status to the lted
Cross Society. On the outside of the
packages one could read the names of
the organizations, societies and per
tons who had donated them. Into tho
licait of Germany somo of the Ameri
can gifts were destined.
Ited Cross Thrills
I left Buempllz thrilled by the sight
of tho Red Cioss warehouse; thrilled
as the Swiss commission must have
been when tho members visited there
to hce "the preparations for the Amer
ican Invasion." Dresel had certainly
prepared for emergencies, for there
was n sufficient supply on hand to care
for 10,000 men for six months or 20,000
men for three months. In one room
alone there were 000,000 pounds of
hard bread. For a while fresh bread
was shipped Into Germany, but It was
found to be more practical to send the
white hard biscuits, and now this is
done altogether.
At the headquarters of the Red
Cross in Berne, In the old American
legation building on Hirschengraben
street, Is n busy staff of Amei leans
.vnich attends to the coirespondenco
from the camps. To this headquarters
aro sent the reports from tho Spanish
embassy In Iierltn of all Americans
captured at the front und imprisoned
In Germany. To this bureau como
all the letters nnd postcards from the
soldiers. In answer to the first ques
tion which every one asks about this
relief work, namely, "Do the supplies
really reach the Interned hOldlers?" tho
lied Cross is ablo to reply:
"During the first five months of this
year 90 per cent of all food shipped
to Americans In German camps ar
rived without being opened. The Red
Cross believes that most of the re
maining 10 per cent reaches the men,
but that the soldiers either neglect
to return tho postcard to acknowledge
receipt of the box or the postcard Is
lost In the mall "
From the prisoners como the most
nathetla and appreciative ietters.
Writing from Holzmlnden, Germany,
an American civilian whose name had
not been reported by the Spanish au
thorities wrote a distracted American
of Russian extraction:
"Dear Lady (the writer evidently
thought a woman was at the head of
the lellef organization): I am writ
ing you this postcard to ask If
you have not the kindness to
LOCAL HEROES
By CARL W. ACKERMAN
by tho Public, Ledger Co. , help a poor prisoner. I am American
and I have nil my parents nnu reia
tives in tho United States, but under
the war lnw I cannot correspond with
them. That makes mo very sorry.
As I linve no relations In Franco I
nm calling upon you nnd I hope you
will do something for me. I never
been tho wny I am for tho present
time, and, denr lady, It you are able to
help me you will bo gratefully re
membered by mo and my parents. 1
remain,
'An Unknown American."
A box of food was sent to this
camp for tho writer and his acknowl
edgment wns characteristic.
"Dear Sir," ho wrote, "A few lines
to thank you again for the parcels you
sent. I have to let you know that I
recelvo parcels only from you and
from nobody clsel I am very glad
of It, too."
Another prisoner In acknowledging
his box- was evidently so pleased that
he Inquired, "Are we going to get these
regularly'.'" and another soldier wrote,
"Those parcels havo a decided Amer
ican touch."
At tho time I left Switzerland for
the United States Americans were In
terned In German camps In tho follow
ing cities: Aachen, Herlln, Branden
burg Darmstnrtl, Glesscn. Gustrow
Havelberg, Heidelberg, Holzmlnden
I.lmberrr, I'archlm and Tuchol. In ex
plaining this the central committee
for American prisoners In Berne made
the following explanation:
"It must be borne In mind that the
abovo distribution Is In no sense
permanent and that some of thos
camps In question havo only terved
as temporary stopping places for
prisoners In transit. Moreover, thu
camps nbovo named nre only central
oi ganlzations. From theso tho prison
ers nre sent out. often for montns at
a time, on working parties to sub
camps, only icturnlng to the patent
camps at Intervals with a view to
being shifted elsewhere, or for other
reasons. All letters and parcels pass
through tho postotllce at the main
camp and aro forwarded from there.
"Information has been received to
the effect' that American military
prisoners below commissioned rani'
are likely to be concentrated at
Tuchel, In West Prussia; from now
on."
Method of Distribution
Explaining tho method of distribu
tion In Germany, the Red Cross, In
Circular No. Ill, published In Berne,
stated:
"Committees have already been
nri.nni7.nd in two campa along tho
same cillclent lines as those now
operated by the British. Reserve
stocks of food and clothing for the
supply of those men who havo Just
arrived, and who havo not had time
to communicate with this committee
concerning their whereabouts, as well
as for thoso men whoso parcels have
for some reason been delayed, will be
established. A reserve of several
hundred parcels has already been sent
to Tuchel from our stores here, and
the distribution will bo under the di
rection of two noncommissioned offi
cers who havo organized an American
camp committee at that camp. Much
valuable data have already been ob
tained from noncommissioned officers
In this and other camps, and In the
future they may bo relied upon to af
ford tho most direct and trustworthy
Information nvallablo as to their fel-low-caDtlves."
As terrible as it Is for nny human
being to be Imprisoned In Germany to
day, the first "unfortunato ton thous
and" of Americans will find It much
easier and more comfortable to be a
prisoner today than it was two years
ago, or even twelve months ago.
Having visited several German camps
before the United States severed offi
cial relations with Berlin I could
realize, perhaps only to a limited de
gree, however, what this relief work,
which "Bop" Dresel started In Berne
and Bttempliz would mean to our men,
banished by fate to the center of
Prussia. But my sensations could not
bo compared with those of a mother of
a soldier, whom an American woman
met In New York upon her return
from abroad.
The traveler was shopping In a
lnrge department store. There was to
be a patriotic parade In tho city that
day. Flags of the united Allies were
waving from' every store, every giant
office building. Sidewalks and shops
were crowded. Up the avenue one
could hear the strains of tho "Mar
selllale." Seated before the counter ex
amining the materials which the clerk
was showing was the traveler. Both
heard the fiery notes of tho French
anthem at about the same time. Tho
traveler looked up to see tears in the
eyes of the clerk.
