IN ONE BATTLE.
(Bv Associated Press.)
London, Aug. li.—The housing
and guarding of prisoners of war
will probably be one of the present
war’j most troublesome problems.
More than five thousand German?
have been captured so far. Most
of these have been sent to France.
When the big fighting actually
start3, with more than two million
men engaged, the number of prison
ers probably will be great on both
sides. There will be exchanges* of
course, but theso are not always
easy to arrange.
The provisions for the enormous
number of soldiers now in the field
is also embarrassing to the com
batants. It Is reported that Germany
is already finding the food supply
hard to maintain.. .
One, Belgian soldier is quoted as
saying that he did not take a rifle
to capture the Germans. He only
took a slice of bread and the Ger
mans followed him into camp.
