HUNGRY PRISONERS
ARRIVING IN PARIS

Paris, Nov. 23.-The Care de
Lest is temple of mingled joy and
sorrow.
Repatriated war prisoners, hungry
and tattered, are arriving there day
and ngiht.
An American mother hovered on
the edge of the crowd today, hoping
to find some liberated American who
could tell her Of an aviator son who
was taken prisoner. None of the
few Americans arriving knew Of him.
The mother continued waiting and
watching. Two of the Americans
who arrived today formerly were
caddies for a Buffalo golf club. They
are mere boys but they have the ap'
pearance now of middle-aged men.
French and American Red Gross
Units are working day and night to
aid the prisoners. They also are
caring for great numbers Of civilian
refugees. Among the latter were
two boys of II, who had been prison;
ers for four years. One had q
5oche helmet he had carried about
with him for two years.
The returning prisoners mostly are
French. They are attired in a non.
descript garb, garnered, it would
seem, from all the armies of the
world.
Some have German overcoats
American hats and French and Brit
ish tunics and trousers, or any othe,
kind obtainable.
Upon their arrival in Paris, they
re all given hot meal. American
,ed Cross workers distribute wooler
OK and underwear among them ane
'urnish all with cigarettes.
Only the strongest are able ts

miles and sleeping in the open

The American committee for de
astated France sends out rolling

he prisoners on the roads and aid

Some Of the prisoners are coming
by way Of Belgium; others by way
