SWISS CHEER
REPATRIATED
WAR PRISONERS
Group of Americans Met by
Enthusiastic Crowds on
Arrival at Berne
from Bavaria.

Berne, Switzerland, Nov. 30.-One
hundred and fifty-Six American Off
GERS and noncommissioned officers,
the first prisoners of war in Ger
many to be released through Switz-
erland, were repatriated yesterday,
The majority had been captured
about FIVE months ago, although
some had been five weeks in Ger
man prison camps. A large num-
Der of the men were aviators.
The men rode on a special train,
three cars of which were filled with
French and British former prisoners.
Interest, however, conferred in the
Americans, since they were the first
group to be released.
The repatriated men left Bavaria
in the morning and crossed Lake
Constance. They were met at
Zurich by enthusiastic crowds of
Swiss and Americans, some of whom
sat up all night to be sure of places
from which they could see the for
mer prisoners of war, The well
come at Berne surpassed almost any
thing of this kind seen in Switzer-
land since before the war began.
Pleasant A. Stovall, the Ameri-
can minister, and Mrs. Stovall, the
entire American legation, members
of the Red Cross, the diplomatic
corps, other allied nationals here
and high Swiss military and several
authorities lined up at the railway

All of the party, which with its

York at noon tomorrow, will be
several hundred American newspa-
per correspondents going across to
report the proceedings of the con-

p Resentment by members of the
senate over the presidents failure
to take one of their number on
the delegation was apparent today,
although no statements on the sub
ject were issued for publication.
Several Of the republicans discussed
plans for resolutions, among them
one to send a special senate COM
mittee to France to remain during
the conference, particularly to keep
congress advised regarding the pro-
ceedings..
Senator Cummins of Iowa was
one of those who prepared to offer
such a resolution. Others were
understood to be making ready
speeches on the general subject of
the presidents policy and there were
predictions that the sessions during
the first days of the week would
be lively ones.
A prominent republican of the

of the order prohibiting the brewing

According to William H. Austin,
attorney for the Milwaukee Brew

men will be affected; those working
in brew houses. 1t is not expected
many persons will be affected for
another six months because brewers
have enough stock on hand to last
that long. In the meantime it is
thought that men will be released
