which would preclude their ever join
ing the army again. Also tuberculosis
prisoners, those clinically cured as we'll
as those still needing treatment, were
to be repatriated.
Following this the scope of the re-
patriation program was vastly extend
ed when France, Germany and Bel
GUM agreed to exchange all prisoners
Of war forty-eight years of age and
older who had been interned more than
eighteen months. This applied to pri-
Yates and noncommissioned officers
only. Commissioned officers were to
be interned in Switzerland.
And lastly another agreement was
brought about by the efforts Of the
Swiss government. It still further ex.
tended the scope of the exchange con-
ditions. All civil prisoners were to be
freed.
Many Return to Homes.
The freeing and exchanging Of these
prisoners has been in progress for some
time. Long trains filed with these for
mer soldiers are passing through
Switzerland every day in both direc
tions, taking these unfortunate victims
buck to their old homes.
Up to the middle Of last month more
than 100000 prisoners of war had
passed through Switzerland on their
way to liberty. Some of these soldiers
were in most pitiable state. The peo-
pie of Switzerland played the part of
the good Samaritan by feeding, cloth
ing and consoling 1ese poor sufferers.
In addition Switzerland has been the
connecting link in mail communication
between belligerent countries. Up to
the first Of June Switzerland without
charge transported 19,796.0O0 letters
and cards to prisoners Of war, 457, 900
parcels weighing no more than two
pounds, 414,679.OOO letters and cards
in transit, 19,526,OOO small parcels in
transit, 6,364 900 parcels containing
bread sent to Germany and Austria.
7S,S16.0OO parcels weighing up to ten
pounds and 9,4S9,OOO money orders
transmitting an aggregate amount Of
$35. 100000.

and hospital care. Lately their num-
