An urgent appeal for organized action in behalf of Canadian prisoners in Germany has come from Pte. Thomas A. Gamey in Glessen to R. R. Gamey M.P.P. in the Ontario legislature for Manitoulin. Pte. Gamey is a man of more than forty, who went from the Governor General's Body Guards. He was wounded at St. Julian and captured, and is recovering. He writes:

“You doubtless know more about us than we of the inside world. Is there no movement in our behalf? As no one backbone enough to act or urge the government? No money, tobacco; in fact nothing. Kindly treatment, but bill of fare not what we are accustomed to, and confinement hard to endure. Do something, cable and write”.
