Called Breach of Faith.

In all these kaleidoscope changes
of policy one point always remained
immutable-the decision to keep Rus
sian prisoners of war in Germany in
prison. This decision was one OF the
earliest and certainly the most glar-
ing breach Of faith committed by the
allies as regards their protestations
of good will toward Russia. No legal
or ethical justification Of this contin-
ued Imprisonment of hundreds Of
thousands of Russian soldiers has
ever been or could be stated. 1t Is a
bare violation Of human rights. And
the violation Is still more aggravated
in this case by the fact that 1t is COM
mitted against those very soldiers
who could best expect gratitude from
the allies, as they were the first among
those who had been fighting for the
allied cause. They are the men who
have suffered the longest.
When the armistice terms were drawn
up the allies rightly demanded that all
the allied prisoners should be returned.
but expressly excluded the Russian
prisoners from the benefits Of this con-
dition. When the German government
refused to take any further responsible
ity for the maintenance Of these pris-
oners the allies, and especially America,
agreed to undertake the ignoble task Of
retaining these unfortunate men in inn
prisonment. 1t Is true that they have
fed and clothed them and have sent men
to supervise the camps without realiz-
ing that these men were virtually jailers
over prisoners of war longing for liberty.

Means They Must Fight.

Let there be no doubt about it. The
withdrawal OF American control over the
Russian prisoners in Germany will
result in the wholesale turning over
of hundreds Of thousands of Russian
prisoners to Kolchak, Gudenich and
Denikine. Many of them-probably
the majority of them-are from CEN
trail Russia, and they may be COM
PEELED to fight their relatives. The
world was shaken to it's depths by,
and can never forgive the horrors of.
the deportation OF Belgian workers,
but these horrors are exceeded by the
cruelty Of compelling men to take
part in a civil war-the most cruel
Of all wars.
I speak of the cruelty of handing
them over to Gen Denikine simply be-
cause that is the, proposed plan. l
would consider It equally abhorrent
were they to be handed over to the
bolsheviki. The point Is that no man
should be compelled to take part in a
civil war, but such participation is to
be forced upon the Russians. The sit
uation Is very grave and serious.
see only one way out and the serious
ness OF the situation is my excuse
for making the suggestion. The allies
and Germany must not turn over
single Russian prisoner to Admiral
Kolchak or to the bolsheviki without
a strict stipulation that they shall
not be forced into either army. If no
way is found out and this plan of
turning the prisoners over without
stipulation, as seems likely, is fol-
lowed. 1t will be recorded in history
as crime.

BERLIN. Germany, August 12 (via

1t is not easy to follow the always
changing policy of the peace confer
ence toward Russia. For ten months
since the armistice at least half a
dozen times it was decided to with
draw the troops from Russia, make
peace with the warning factions, raise
the blockade and resume trade rela-
tions. But the decisions were made
only to be reversed. More troops were
to be sent, the blockade was to be
made more vigorous and the war was
to be more determined.
