SWAP PRISONERS BY WEIGHT
France Suggests Plan Whereby 1t Is
Hoped to Force Better Treat
ment for captives.

Paris.-The proposed exchange OF
prisoners between France and Ger
Imany brought out a, suggestion from
an army officer who has had charge
of prison camps.
"You know" he said, I'VE feed our
prisoners well, and they are strong
and hearty. The German. on the other
hand, is pinching our fellows pretty
badly. Most of the nourishment the.
get is sent them from France. The
only fair way is to exchange these
prisoners by weight-so many hun
dred pounds Of Germans for the same
weight in Frenchmen."

London Symptoms of new up
heaval in Russia marked all dispatch
es from Petrograd. The capital was
placed under martial law. The PetrO-
grad garrison is reported wayering in
hts support of the Bolsheviki, and Sc
rious differences have arisen between
Premier Lenine and Foreign Minister
Trotzly.
Accommodating evidences point to a
counter revolutionary movement ex-
tending across the whole Muscovite
land. Further bloodshed is looked for
momentarily. The masses, having OBJ
tanned neither land nor food nor peace,
are turning against the Bolsheviki,
jnThO promised them these things. The
general unrest is aggravated by the
bitterness prevailing in wide circles
over the utter dissolution of Russia's
armed forces since Kerensky was
overthrow.
Face to face with the menace Of re-
volt by hungry and embittered people,
the radical rulers are expected in
some quarters to patch up their diff
ferences so as to present solid front
ito the danger. But some reports pic.
ture the differences between Lenine
and Trotzky as unbridgeable.
