PREDICT SIBERIAN
INTERVENTION SOON
German Prisoners of War Arc
Daily Being Rushed
to Front.
MAJORITY FIT FOR SERVICE
Declared That, Unless Prevented,
Teutons Will Reap Reward
of Conquests.

WASHINGTON. June with the an
nouncement by the State Department
that between 1900 and 5000 German
prisoners of war are daily being re-
turned to the Fatherland from Russia.
Siberian Intervention loomed large in
Washington to-day.
The State Department also an
nounced that it had received confirma-
tion OF the agreement between Russia,
Finland and Germany whereby Ger
many gets access TO the Arctic Ocean
via the Mourmansk Peninsula.
Word came here from London that
developments in Tokyo and Tientsin
warranted belief in early action in
Siberia. The news was received with
out surprise in allied diplomatic cir
cles here. though the State Depart
ment declared that 1t had no definite
information abou. the developments in
the Far East.
The construction placed upon the
news in allied diplomatic quarters is
that the entente has come to the CON-
clusion that intervention is the only
thing that can prevent Germany reap
ing all the benefits of her Russian
conquests without disturbances.
1t Is pointed out that II an allied
column should start through Siberia.
it would at least deter the return to
the German ranks OF the thousands
OF prisoners OF war who are still in
Russia and Siberia.
The State Department received It's
news with regard to the return Of the
prisoners from Moscow via Stockholm.
The dispatch states that three trains
day are being run into Germany,
each train bearing from 400 to 1000
men. through the border city of Orsha
According to the report of a train
surgeon. 40 per cent OF the men are
ut TO return to military duty within
one month OF their repatriation All
OF them are in q healthy and robust
condition.
The Russian prisoners OF war now
being returned to Russia from GER
many at the same rate under the pro-
visions OF the Brest treaty are. on the
other hand. for the most part invalids
and consumptives. Many Of them die
as soon as they get across the border.
