prisoners from Siberia are enjoying
life in the enemy internment camp
near the summer palace here So
pleased are they with their environ

letters to their friends inviting them
to come to China and enjoy its hos

At first these sojourners claimed
that they We're Italians eager to re
turn to Italy, but when an attempt
was made to ship them on an Italian
transport for Italy they refused to go
and asserted they were Austrians.
The Chinese authorities examined
them. and all have claimed to be sol

from setting them free and compelling
them to work for living.
