ORSHA, Mohilev, Russia, June g.
The exchange of invalid prisoners be-
tween Russia and the Central Powers.
which has been going on for several
weeks, is proving advantageous to Ger
many and Austria Hungary, as under
that guise they have been sending home
able-bodied men who, to the eye of the
physician in charge of the sanitary
train on which the correspondent trav-
elled to Orsha, produced the impress
sion of being we'll men,"
VI 653 prisoners the train carried
only 43 were bedridden and about so
Ill, while the remainder, mostly Aus
trians. were quite strong. healthy and
cheerful, in striking contrast to the
returning Russians, who, with few ex-
ceptions, were all seriously i'll or Grip
pied.
The Bolshevik chairman of the
prisoner exchange committee explained
to the correspondent that able-bodied
prisoners were being sent home by local
Sovlets in order to get rid of hungry
mouths. The Germans always repatri-
ate smaller number of men than they
themselves receive, being reluctant to
let useful laborers return home. The
sanitary train on which the correspond
ent travelled had received 301 Russians
for 481 enemy prisoners. Usually the
difference is about 100 less.
Another thing the correspondent not
ed was the considerable number of
enemy officers returning home, some
looking exceedingly we'll. while not a
single Russian officer was on the trains
the correspondent inspected at Orsha.
This circumstance no one could ex-
plain.
Returning Russians told of their ILL
treatment by the Germans in simple
but eloquent words; how their boots
and clothes had been taken by the
Germans when they entered hospitals
and never returned to them, receiving
sers and jackets in which they were
driven to work in snowstorms and the
cold; how they had been starved, being
given watery soup after a hard days
work, and we're forced to gather potato
peelings in pits where slops were
thrown and eat them after they had
been washed in order to appease their
appetites.
These statements were corroborated d
{ by steward who had witnessed hungry
and sick Russians pick bones found in
the mud near the station at Moldechno,
southeast of Wilma. The men told their
stories in simple, impersonal way,
and even smiled during the narration.
But they vowed they would not forget
the atrocities, sufferings and humilia-
tions to which they had been SUBJ
iected.

results which might be expected if the

eighteen and forty-five years, the limits
fixed in a bill by Senator France, of
Maryland, Republican. 1t is expected
that this information will be presented
soon to the Senate Military Committee.

Much thought is being given to the
many and slight variations which exist
under the general headings named in
the regulations. To cite one of hun
dred cases, draft officials found it diff
tcult to decide whether a chauffeur
was engaged in useful occupation. 1t
was realized that under certain cir
cumstances chauffeur is an essential
employe, and the probabilities are that
ohauffeurs will come under the same
regulations as domestlcs, with each
case determined on its merits.
