(By Associated Press)

BERLIN, Monday, Aug. 1S.-Amer-
lea has won the deep gratitude Of Ger
many for her treatment of prisoners of
war and her labors for their behalf
in Siberia, declared Daniel Steucklen,
member of the national assembly and
imperial commissioner for war and
civilian prisoners today at a meeting
Of Majority socialists protesting
against the further retention of Ger
man prisoners in France.
The meeting was the first at move
by the Socialists in the plan to bring
women forward as an influence for the
return of prisoners, it being felt that
they can arouse more sympathy than
men. Herr Steucklen blamed France
for the holding Of these prisoners and
said that the conditions of the men
there was bad. He said the men were
treated well in Italy, but that in Japan
they we're miserable, owing to differ.
Ont customs, habits, and methods of
housing the prisoners there. He said
that 200 Americans working in Siberia
among German and Austrian prisoners
are doing good work. The Empire is
spending seven million marks per
month for the maintenance of these
prisoners, in addition to which there
are huge sums available from private

Condemns Pan-Germans.
Herr Steucklen condemned the Pan
Germans for using the prisoner ques-
ton merely as political weapon
against the government, calling them
"camarilla afraid Of the light" The
meeting concluded with protest
against Premier Clemenceau and
French military authorities for holding
German prisoners there.
Reports state that German prison.
ers in France and England have been
told that Germany does not really
want them to return. these rumors per
sisting in spite of the government S
repeated protests at Versailles. Con.
fidentially and secretly many say the
government appreciates there would
be a tremendous added food problem
should the prisoners suddenly return
to Germany. Fears are entertained
that probably a large number of these
returning will be Bolshevist in their
views and easily converted to Com.
munism.
Openly the government declares that
no sacrifice will be stunned to vel
come and feed the men buy many be
lieve there is a secret understanding
resulting in their retention in France
Here and there the correspondent
finds persons who while sorry the
prisoners cannot return home believe
it to be for the best welfare of Ger
many that they remain in France at
least for time.
