CAPTNtS TRY TO LEAVE
GERMANY BY HONOREDS

Berlin, Oct 1.-THE number Of
Russian war prisoners who try to es-
cape to neutral countries in the hope
OF reaching their fatherland increases
steadily. but very few OF tho fugitives
manage to get out OF the German en-
pire. Most OF them are caught be-
fore they reach the frontier.
When captured they all give the
same explanation for their attempted
fight-they are homesick and want
to see their families again
The runaways are mostly men who
have been placed on farms, almost
unguarded. They have worked ali
summer and saved the wages paid to
them. With their savings they expect
to be able to get to Russia somehow.
Many try TO reach Switzerland. al
though they do not know how they
are to reach their homes from there
Somebody has told them that they
would be free as soon as they are
on Swiss soil and that their consuls
would procure transportation for
them. Their establishment Is always
great when they are taken into Gus
tody and informed by the SWISS au-
thorties.
In the last two weeks about four
hundred Russians tried to cross Lake
Constance. and eighty succeeded Tho
others were captured and returned to
their camps. where they will DO kept
under close surveillance in the future.
