''With the? addition of the above names, the total is now 1.5,'' states the High Commissioner. "A supplv of clothing is being sent from this oflice, in addition to the comforts previously enumerated, and each man is being sent a small money allowance eacli week. It is not considered advisableto send more than 6d at a time, or at the'most os, as there is not very much that the, men can buy apartfrom food, and it i« strongly suspected that when the Germans discover that a man lias more than a • very small amount of money, prices arc raised against him threefold or even more, and he is very soon fleeced of all that he has.''
