] BULGARIANS BELIEVE
PRISONERS IDE KILLED
LONDON, Oct. 9.—As evidence that
the Germans have taught the Bulgar
ians that their lives will be forfeit
ed If they are taken prisoner by tho
British, the folowing extract from a
letter by a British officer on the
Salonlkt front is published by the
Dally Telegraph:
“When we rounded up sixty Beul-
garians in an attack recently the poor
wretches were utterly terrUled. Two
or three tried to drown themselves
In a pool, while othere knelt on the
ground making the sign of the cross
and waiting an assassins bayonet
thrust or worse.
"One who was a real sportsman
kept hie head and made a desperate
effort to escape, very nearly getting
shot, until ho saw it was useless, and
tinging down hi, rifle, surrendered
to an officer. Beside this officer a
Tommy stood watchfully in case the
Bulgar was up to any nasty tricks,
and the latter seeing this attitude
and taking him for his appointed
murderer, with a dramatic gesture
threw back his head and bared his
chest. He opened his shirt with both
hands, then faced the soldier with the
bayonet whom he supposed to be wait
ing for the officers word to run him
through.
"Tommy’s method of easing the
tension was rapid. He brought out
his packet of cigarettes and offered
one to the Bulgar.
"Up to this moment the Bulgar had
been as brave as a lion, but the offer
of the cigarette in plac.e of the end
of the bayonet was too eudden a
change in his outlook. He gave a
gasp and sat down trembling, unable
to light the cigarette at the match
which the soldier was holding ready
for him.”

IN ENGLAND DOUBLED
LONDON. Oct. 9—The retail cost
of food in the United ingdrnn has
more than doubled since the beginn
ing of the war, says the National
Food Journal, the organ of Lord
Rhondda, the British food controller.
| Some of the causes of the increase ar®
given as follows:
• The hi«h prices charged in coun-
tdles from which imports of foods
are obtained, owing in large measure
to either exceptional demand or gen
eral shortage supply. The high prices
‘are out cide the control of the home
