The Red Cross had direct from 231 men in these camps at the beginning of June and to each is sending through its prisoners' relief warehouse at Berne, twenty pounds of food a week and is supplying clothing, comforts, tobacco and in fact, everything the men need. In supplying captured soldiers and sailors the Red Cross acts as the transmitting agency for the army and navy which furnishes the supplies.

In addition to the prisoners actually on its records the Red Cross believes that there are some 200 additional American prisoners in Germany who have not yet reached the prison camps where they are to be located permanently. The Red Cross, however, is already prepared to care for these as soon as reported and in fact has stored in Berne or in transit supplies enough to maintain prisoners if necessary for six months. Awaiting American prisoners sent to Tuchel is a stock of Red Cross packages of food and clothing in charge of three of our captured bovs who are appointed by the Red Cross Relief Committee for that prison camp. Similar reserve stocks will be placed in other prisons as it becomes evident that they are to be used as for imprisoned Americans, who thus will be fed and clothed immediately.

BAKER DEPRECATES ANY DISCRIMINATION Secretary Baker will tolerate no discrimination between white man and negroes In th? administration of the selective draft. When reports were brought to his attention yesterday to the effect that such discrimination had occurred, ha I said: "I have heard that draft boards in adjoining counties take a different view of practically Identical facts with regard to white men. but I never heard of the question being brought up with regard to colored men. The answer in all of these cases Is that a review is provided directly by the President, and all that is necessary for anybody to do who thinks there is a grievance Is to point it out to the War Department and It will be investigated.

If the draft boards act unfairly we will correct their action. War Department will brook no discrimination, and any cases of alleged or suspected discrimination brought to our attention will be Investigated, and any wrong dona will be righted."
