LONDON, Aug. 3o.-Plans for the I'M
mediate repatriation of the German war
prisoners are received with Joy here, as
fully 100000 British soldiers stu are en-
ployed In guarding them. II the terms
Of the peace treaty were followed strictly
the German soldiers now in England
could not go home until December or
January. ...-. .-.-
The British War once has been press
ing for some time for permission to re-
patrlate the prisoners and Winston
Churchill, Minister OF War. declared re-
Gently that tho expense OF maintaining
the prison camps far outweighed any
advantage derived from their labor.
Many Of the camps are in secluded dis
tricts and costly motor transportation Is
necessary to maintain their daily sup
plies.
Moreover. the camps require many
large buildings and extensive tracts OF
land that could be used better otherwise
One lot of prisoners in England Is en-
ployed in cleaning dykes In the Isle or
Anglesey, another in quarrying stone IN
Cornwall, others are In lime works In
DerDySnire. IN ono Oh Ems loiu io'e
est camps 10000 Germans are living be-
hind barbed wire.
In Shropshire they have been FESTIVE
| for some time and recently have been
| making silent demonstrations against
| their captivity. the officers remaining in
| doors all day and the men painting signs
| on the walls of the buildings saying
Send Us Home and Give Us Peace"
| On one hut a gigantic sign was painted
| on the roof Let Us Go Home"
| Some of these men have been captives
since 1915 and 1t is estimated that co.
| 900 of the Germans have been In English
camps for more than three years In
| quiries at the War Office regarding ar
rangements for the repatriation of these
| men elected the statement that imme-
date action depends upon the decision
| OF the interallied commission, which has
not been appointed yet.
Another factor in the problem Is the
| amount OF ship tonnage that will be
| placed at the disposal of the military
authorities. 1t is likely that the men
who have been in captivity longest will
| be released FIRST.
| LONDON, Aug 3o-Persuant to the
Paris, orders have been issued for the
prisoners held by Great Britain in
France. The first batch, numbering
| 1000, left there to-day.
| The repatriation of prisoners to Eng
| land depends upon sea transportation
which the peace treaty provides Ger
many must arrange.
