EL PASO HERALD FMH TREATS WIS ILL German Prisoners Say They Eeceive Good Food and Have No Complaint. Paris France, April 2. German prisoners in France are well treated and well cared for. so 'far as couM be learned by an Associated Press cor respondent who made a round -of sev eral of the camps with official per mission. The camps are In good con dition generally. The prisoners seem uniformly convinced that Germany will win this war ultimately. There is little sickness, plenty or food and of good qnalitj. and the housing arrangements are satisfac tory. ' 1 There are ltM German prisoners in the Issoudan barracks from all arms of the service, of all ages from 19 to 43, and from all sections of the battle front. All are rosy and gay and sat isfied with the food that is given them. This amounts daily to a pound Tango Slippers We just received a new shipment of "Guarantee Quality" Patent Leather Tango Slippers to fit all feet from the tiniest tot to the big Miss. We further claim for these shoes fitting qualities that you can only Ret at the Guarantee. It takes knowledge to buy shoes right we have the knowledge.

' jj and a half of bread, two pounds and six ounces of vegetables, a quarter ox a pound of meat and 12 grams of coffee, the latter mixed at the re quest of the prisoners with barley, because pure coffee is too strong for them. These rations are the same as those given the French soldiers, except as to the quantity of meat, which is re duced from a half pound to a quarter of a pound, in retaliation for the measures which are said to be applied to French prisoners In Germany. "We are well cared for. We do only six hours work: a day, are well fed and are treated -with consideration by the French officers and soldiers." F. Rondholz, of Constance, a 2 year old private of the 142d regiment of infantry, said in a signed statement to the Associated Press, lie is a pris oner at Issoudan. Believe Xothlnc In Paper. The 60s prisoners at Tours are housed less comfortably than those at Issoudan, but as well as are the French soldiers. Recent arrivals" in this camp are said to be more depressed than those who preceded them, but nothing can convince them that the Germans are not bound to win and nono of them seem to believe anything that I appears in the prisoners' newspaper. vwueii is ircui jjuuiiaiiai in ueriuiiu for their benefit, "We know all about that We have the same thing on the other side. It is the kommandatur who does all that." they say. Privates Are Docile. The privates naturally are docile and the officers are compelled to be so after having given trouble at Hountaban. The officers seem de pressed and less haughty since the New Year, their hopes of being able to celebrate Christmas at home being disappointed. Hani Times At Home. The news received by the prisoners from home is said to have changed in tone in the last two months. The letters, it is declared, talk of hard times, but still insist on a vic tory for Germany in the end. Offi cers at the camp say that packages containing sausages, preserves, to bacco, condensed soup, cakes, soap and many other articles came on an aver age of one for each man each week for the first six months of the war, but that now they are arriving much less frequently. The receipts of money are also less frequent. Where pre viously they distributed Stop francs each week, the officers declared they now distribute only 100. Interned Civilians Are Different. The contrast between the soldier prisoners and the interned German civilians In the concentration camp at Chateauroux is striking. Most of the civlians show plainly the influence of their long contact with the -. ench people. Their faces cloud when the ' question, -"Would you like to be sent back to Germany?' is put to them. Numerous races comprise the colony of 890 prisoners, who are housed with, modern comforts in a new bulldfni- !i of the asylum in the department of the Inure. Germans are most numer ous among the mass, which in ludes I Austrians, Poles, Alsatians and Czechs. single men ana single women oc cupy separate light, airy dormitories. Families are provided with light apart ments where they can enjoy a sem blance of home life. Here 11 children imve oeen oorn since the colony was installed. There have been only two deaths, both from tuberculosis. Camp Governs Itself.

Despite the fact that the Russians have been sending many reinforcements -Into the Carpathian mountains of Austria-Hungary, they have been unable to secure any material advantage in the ter rific battles which are in progress, es pecially between the Lupkow and i Uzsok passes. ' The Austrians, the dispatches say, have gained an advantage In llolnar vagas. where the fighting was dogged and in snow knee deep The artillery fighting in Dukla oass has slackened. AH the Russian attempts to break the j Austrian lines have failed, the Rus sians suffering terrific losses. The dispatches assert that it is im possible as yet to foretell the ultimate result as the Russians f ontinue to send forward reinforcements. Numerous prisoners are being sent to the rear daily, many with froien limbs. North of Czernowitx the dispatcres say the Austrians are gaining ground steadily. They are now fighting on Russian territory. The number of prisoners taken there increases dail, it is asserted. BERLIN DENIES GERMANS LAUGHED AT DROWNIN. MEN London En?., April 2 Denial that the German submarine crew laughed as tHe passengers of the British steamer Fataba drowned after the ship had been torpedoed, is contained in a wire less dispatch from Berlin. The dis patch also denies the passengers were given no time to save themselves. The dispatUi adds: "German submarines have ' always shown humanity when sinking steam ers, but in this instance the submarine was forced-to withdraw quickly on ac count of the approach of other vessels. It was therefore unable to assist in the work of rescue, as the malicious and hostile attitude of English merchant men toward our "U boats is. well known and forces ns to be prudent."
