Red Cross Begs Aid for Austrian
and HUNGARIAN Prisoners

GENEVA, Dec 25.-The Internation-
al Red Cross has sent out an appeal in
behalf of the prisoners of war in ST.
IBERIA. Two hundred thousand prison
ers, for the most part Austrians and
Hungarians. many Of whom were cap
tured in 1914. are living without shell
ter and virtually without clothing and
little food. Any contagious disease
may make terrible ravages. Typhus has
already killed 1900 of the 5000 men
at the Trotzky camp.
AS it would need 100000 francs
(s45, ,0oO,o ,oO0) to send the prisoners
home the Red Cross fears that the
operation would be too long and hopes
for immediate assistance or all will be
dead before relief reaches them.
