Harbin, tManchuria, March 5.-Ger-
man and Austrian war prisoners in
Siberia are estimated to number more
than 100000 and in official circles here
it is held they constitute a grave
menace to the allies in the far east.
While the number of released prison.
eTs bearing arms under the Doisneviki
flag is not great, even a small force
might become potent danger if they
were permitted to become the organ
izing and directing force behind the
bolsheviki.
With German organization controll-
ing the bolsheviki, a huge army can
be raised in Siberia. It, is held here
that such force would be in position
to do incalculable damage and might
necessitate the sending Of a large
allied force to this theater
Working With Bolsheviki.
The greater part of the prisoners
are at Irkutsk and other large cities.
1t is known at 1rkutsk the Germans
are working with the bolsheviki. Some
released prisoners also are with boil
sheviki forces now fighting against
General Seminon the anti-bolshevik
leader in eastern Siberia, .
Those who have visited the prison
camps state that the officers and men
keep themselves in excellent condition
and they believe the day is coming
when their service will be used in the
far east and that German force will
come to their assistance.
Allied sympathizers declare the only
way to prevent the prisoners from do,
ing any further damage IS to support
any movement that would enable the
allies to secure control Of the prison
camps.
