HUNGRY AND PENNILESS tion of Identitt Provided by Entertainment Pending an Investiga British Consul. Copenhagen, March 2 (Via London) -Four Americans from the steamer Yarrowdale,. ho have been prisoners in Germany for three months, arrived hre today. They are Dr. John Davis, Columbus, Miss.; Orville McKim, Watertown, N. Y.; Dr. H. D. Snyder, Norfolk, Va.; Richard Zabriskie, En glewood, N. J. The four men were practically destitute. The men reached here with only the clothes they stood in and will, under the custom of the sea, be sup ported by the British consul until it is possible to send' them home. They owe their release before the remain der of the seventy-two ;Americans who were on the Yarrowdale to the fact that, as physicians or veterina rians, they ranked as officers and were confined in the officers' camp at Karlsruhe. The horse tenders and sailors, who composed the bulk of the American captives, are still held in "quarantine" at the prison camp for enlisted men at Dulken. Route They Traveled. The four men left the camp at Karlsruhe on February 27 and travel ed direct to Warnemunde under es cort, where, after being subjected to the usual frontier search, they were put aboard a Danish ferry and left to shift. for themselves. The Danish police took charge of them upon their arrival in Denmark, provided them with quarters for the night in a hotel at Gjedser and gave them the first hearty meal they had enjoyed since landing in Germany in December. The next morning the Danish authori ties provided railroad transportation to Copenhagen. Ancient sea practices makes sea men stranded in a foreign port the guests of the consul of the Power under whose flag the lost ship sailed. Vnited States Consul General Win slow was compelled, therefore, to re fer the passless, paperless and money less wanderers to his British collea gue. The British consul provided hotel accommodations pending an in vestigation as to the men's identity. lie pointed out that, as far as any identification was concerned, the four men might be German spies. Few more dramatic tales have been brought forth by the war than the story related by these four American professional men to the Associated Press correspondent. Thrilling Experiences. Snapped up by the German raider n mid-ocean, they cruised around for lays, while the commerce destroyer vas gathering more prizes. Then ;hey made the voyage in the Yarrow lale to Swinemuende unler such con BEARD IN MANNING Row Bad Racks Have Been Made Strong-Kidney Ills Corrected. All over Manning you hear it.

They lived for more than two months in detention camps in Ger many on meager fare. They passed through four aeroplane attacks on Karlsruhe, during which bombs in tended for the railroad station rained on all sides. They were ignorant un til the last whether they were pris oners of war or neutrals in detention, whether their government was doing anything to obtain their release or whether the Unitedl States had not already entered the war. In Complete D~estitution. To adld to their anxieties their fel low Americans from the Yarrowdale, when they left them at the Neustre litz camp to be transferred with other officers from the captured steamers, were in a state of complete destitu tion. They were insufficiently clothed, several having been without shoes or overclothing during the severe De cember cold, and all were weakening under the effect of those conditions wvhen subsequently remedied, after Ambassadlor Gerard located them in the camp) at Dulmen. These four men, however, had escaped the ambassa dor's notice on account of having been transfuerredI to the officers' camp at Karsruh e.

C. which lost three men from shell fire. Dr. Davis and Mr. McKim Were on the White Star liner Georgic. Aboard the Raider. The recital of the four Americans is one with which American readers are familiar from the accounts of the Moewe and the Appam. They were treated firmly, but courteously, by the German officers on the raider. They wvere confined in the holds dluring thf chase of each successive prize,. won dering anxiously whether the intended victim would show fight and perhaps sink the raider. Eahe af three ships from which the Americans were taken was shelled and the crew was obliged to take to the boats in a high sea. There wva's no loss of life, except on the Mount Temple, 'on which three F:rench-Canadlians wvere killed. An.. other man was injured, his foot be ing mangled so badly that it was am putatedl on the raider. Until they reached Swinemuendle the Americans thought they would be treated as neutrals. Even the British officers wvho wvere captured' signed parole pa pers while on the raider, with the understanding that they would be placedl on board the first neutral steamier encountered for transship meat to a home or neutral port. The capture of the Yarrowdcale with her valuable cargo influencedi the Germdin commander to sendl the prisoners to a German port on that vessel. In Heavy Storm. Aided by a heavy storm the run to the entrance to the Baltic was made undletected. After a few (lays at Swinemuende the prisoners wvere transferred to the camp at Neustre litz, where they were held for a month in quarantine. The condlition of many of the Amer icans, including horse' handlers from the Georgic, -was deplorable. The horse handlers had been accustomed to wvork on the lower (decks, which were half awash, in bare feet, clad In undlerclothes. They entered the boats in this condition. Three Americans wvere without shoes in the snow for almost a month before footwear was supplied. Others would have been little better off' if the captain of th Yarrowdale had not distributed all available clothing. Repeated attempts were made to communicate with the American em bassy, but none of the messages' reached Mr. Gerard. After a month all the men of the rank sof officers, including the four Americans, were transferred to Karlaruoa ndA te 1 } I . ,j Y ' t IEM K att ood t a Aost who Ford, Lness nger Mfna, .

On the way from Veustrelitz they were switched about for eighteen hours in the 'ards at Berlin at a time when Ambassador 3erard, whose imperative instruc ;ions were to ascertain whether there were Americans among the Yarrow lale prisoners, was bombarding the foreign office with notes of inquiry. Almost Starving. They were almost starving when hey arrived at Karlsruhe. There they ound that the insufficient rations of ~eustrelitz were succeeded by a steadily diminishing dliet, which, dur ng the last fortnight of their stay, :onsisted only of a plate of thin soup, i pound of bread and half a pound of potatoes daily. Dr. Snyder says he lost thirty ounds. They were allowed monthly pay of 60 marks, from wvhioh fifty our was dleducted for rations. What. ~xtra money they had melted awvay n p~urchasing fish and other articles o suppllement their rations. Accord ngly they wvere all out of funds when hey were notified of their release Ia February 27. Notwithstanding their unhappy rec.. >llections of Karlsruhe the Ameri ~ans piraised the camp commanders, vho dIid everything in their power o lighten the lot of the prisoners.
