German Plans Fail.

By the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, Wednesday, June 10
Owing to the Czecho-Slovak outbreak,
with the complete stopping it has
brought about of traffic on the Trans
siberian railway and on goodly portion
of the Eastern railway, the German
plans to rush war prisoners homeward
are failing of realization.
In the area affected by the Czecho-
Slovak military operations. extending
from Samara, on the Volga, to Novo
Nikolaievsk, beyond On1sk, there are
about a00,0 900 German and Austrian able
bodied prisoners-200,000 in Siberia,
45, 900 in Turkestan and the remainder
in the provinces of Perm, Ufa and Oren-
burg. OF that number there are about
1000 officers whom the Austrians are
particularly eager to repatriate.
More than half the prisoners are en-
ployed in the mines, in factories or In
the fields. Several hundred thousand
were similarly engaged in the Ukraine
and in the Don region when the German
advance set them free.

German Morale Not High

The morale of the prisoners taken
today was not high. These men and
others captured secently in this sec
tor have appeared to be much dis
heartened by their failure to get big
ger results In their offensive. They

er than they have.

lusions on the subject.

Representative Sherley supported
the half-and-half. saying that Con-
gress should first tax the District
fairly. and then appropriate whatever
might be necessary to support the
Aeat of national government In fitting
Ityle, be it one-third, or one-half, or
whatever proportion it might be.
After the House had voted to sus-
tain the conferees Speaker Clark re-
named as House managers to renew
negotiations with the Senate Chair
man Sisson and Representatives Nc
Andrews of Illinois and Davis of
Minnesota.
Representative Gillett of Massachu-
eetts. acting minority leader, argued
that the House conferees should re-
cede under the circumstances because
legislation must be hurried. and as
this abolition of the half-and-ha
principle is new legislation it has
been the fact that whichever body
attempted to change existing legis-
lation eventually was forced to yield.
Representative Gard said in part:
AT present this is the situation:
the District of Columbia by taxation.

other cities. Fourteen million dollars

government in this District as it
