The High Commissioner's letter to the Minister eonlains (in' following paragraph: “A supj)ly of clothing is being sent from this office, and each man is being sent a small money allowance each week. It is not considered advisable to send more than 2s (id at a lime, or at the very moat ss, as there is not very much that the men can buy apart from food, and it is strongly suspected that when the Germans discover that a man has more than a very small amount of money prices are raised against him threefold or even more, and he is thus very soon fleeced of all that he has.”
