GERMANS PROTEST
Continued from Page One)

ians for the period which will elapse
until their final departure.
1.-The German peace delegation has.
however. been compelled to note that
the arrangements contemplated are
favorable only to the allied and as
ISOLATED governments, for instance.
SO far as concerns the restoration of
private property. the search for per-
sons who have disappeared and that
care to be taken of graves. The Ger
man peace delegation presumes that,
for questions such as these. complete
reciprocity may be required for gen.
eral reasons of humanity.
Because of the great technical diff
ficulty Of repatriating prisoners of
ly in view of the shortage of tonnage
and the lack of coal, the greatest i'm
portance should be attached to finding
a solution of all preliminary ques-
tions before the despatch of the re-
patriated prisoners and informed civ
ilians actually begins. For that
reason the German peace delegation
proposes that the commission should
start it's deliberations forthwith sep
arately from all other questions.
1.-THE explanation q this proposal lies,
firstly, in the fact that there are thous-
ands of German prisoners of war and
informed civilians in overseas countries,
but the German delegation is likewis,
thinking of the Germans who are IN
Siberia, and whose despatch seems to be
a question not only of special present
urgency but Of extraordinary difficulty.
THE German delegation for reasons Of
interaa. policy regards it of the utmost
importance that the German prisoners
Of war and interned civilians should be
returned to their homes in as normal a
condition as possible, in order that they
might there be brought back as RAP
idly as possible into the economic life
of the country. That only appears pos
sible-the precise settlement of trans
port problems apart-if everything pos
sible is done to improve the mental ana
physical state Of those who are return
ing home.
Having regard to the present stu
alton in respect of economic existence
in Germany. it must be admitted that
Germany is unable to do with her own
resources everything required in order
to secure that end. This refers especial
ly to food and clothing; therefore. the
German delegation thinks it desirable
that the deliberations Of the commits
sion should likewise include an exami-
nation of the question of the manner in
which the allied and associated govern
ments might assist Germany in the So
luton of these problems.
THE question arises. for instance, Of
supplying against repayment complete
sets of clothing. Undertaking and ci-
william clothing and footwear for the
prisoners before their despatch.
II avail myself, ETC., etc.

part of the relief work there.
Mr.. Heinz says reports that some
of the refugees. driven frantic by
hunger and suffering. have resorted
to cannibalism, are true, in his opin-
ion. He adds that food for 100000

provided by outside sources for an
other year.
THE lack Of food IS SO serious.
says the telegram. that the women
are forced to go into the fields and

boiled greens. occasionally getting a

6eI0iu and France Damage
London, May e2-(British Wireless
Service)-It is apparent from fore
casts in the German press that one
of the principal points Of the German
reply to the peace terms will be a
proposal to institute joint commit
tee of representatives of both sides
with a neutral president to decide
the economic questions. The Ger
mans also will ask the appointment
of a similar committee to determine
the damage done in Belgium and
France.
The German reply, it is understood.
will protest the treaty not taking in
to consideration the damage done in
Germany. 1t will be urged that Aus
tria Hungary. having been an ally
of Germany, should be held in the
same responsibility IS Germany.
