I The Ladies' Kmergency Committee of the Navy League have reported to Sir I Thomas Mackenzie tljat Loading Stoker Archibald Wilson, of H.M. Submarine 157, is a prisoner of war atßilemedild ' Powznnti, Asia Minor, and may he ad« dressed care of G.P.0., London, and tha I Ottoman Red Crescent Society, Constantinople. "Stoker Wilson's mother,'! adds the High Commissioner, "lives Wellington. His needs are being attended to by the committee named above (the Ladies' Emergency Comi'mittee), and the gifts sent by them will be supplemented from time to time by) pin-pels from this office. This brings up] the total number of Xew Zealand prii soners of war in Turkey to 23." The High Commissioner states that he recently learnt that Captain E. Tj ( Rupert Carlyon, of the With Sherwood Foresters, is a prisoner of war in Germany, at Crefeld. "Captain Carlyon has lost an eye, and he Buffered severely from exposure aftef being wounded. Before capture'lie lay in ths trench for 30 hours, with snow falling all) night, and he contracted a severs attack of inflammation of the lungs in consequence. His mother lives at Napier, and I am making inquiries on her behalf as to the reason of the nondelivery of her letters to him." The Ladies' Emergency Committee of the Navy League has also furnished tha name of Able Seaman William Leonard Clemas, of H.M.S. Nestor, a prisoner of war at Brandenburg. His mother lives at Wairoa, Hawke's Bay. The London Scottish Old Comrades*. Association reports that 5108 LanceCorporal H. Brown, of the Ist London ■ Scottish Battalion, is a prisoner at Dulmen, in Westphalia. "Ilis people liva in Wangnnui," says the High Commissioner. "It has been arranged that the London Scottish Association shall in future supply Lance-Corporal Brown with bread and tobacco ,whilst a weekly supply of food will be dispatched from this office." 1

The followitipr members of the New Zealand Expeditionary Forces hava licen reported as prisoners of war in hospital at Ohrdrup, in Thuringon, Germany, since the date of the previous report:— C/20G1, Corporal William Henry Banks, U/32G0, Private Charles Bromley. G/M43, Private Charles Richardson.

FLEECING STRONGLY SUS-' IPECTED. "With the addition of the above names, the total is now IS," states the High Commissioner. "A supply ol clothing is being sent from this office, in addition to the comforts prcviouslj enumerated, and each man is being sent a small money allowance each week. It is not considered advisable to send more than 2s Gd at a time, or at the most ss, as there is not very much that the men can buy apart from food, and it is strongly suspected that when the German* discover that a. man has more than n very ■ "nil amount of money, prices are raise' Viit .threefold or even more- J* > e J s • soon fleeced of all ihfu
