Puzzle for Germany.

Now a new situation has arisen. 1t
is announced that the Russian prisoners
will be sent home. The allied missions
are to withdraw from their control and
leave the fate of the prisoners to the de-
cision Of the German government. The
German government. however, is en1-
barrassed. It cannot keep the Russians
any longer in prison If only for the rea-
son that 1t Is persisting in it's demand
for the return Of the German prisoners
in allied countries. 1t cannot release
them because that would simply in
crease unemployment in Germany to the
extent Of 100000 men, with all the re-
suits that would ensue. AS for sending
the prisoners home there can be no
question Of 1t now. 1t could have been
done ten months ago. when 1t was
simply, a question Of putting them over
the German Russian frontier. But
there is now no Russian from
tier.
The German government is embar-
rassed and is protesting to Marshal
Foch against the allies decision. The
embarrassment Of the German gov
the embarrassment of the Russian
prisoners is a serious matter. Ten
months ago the allies insisted upon
the retention Of these prisoners, and
now they are ignobly disregarding
their human needs. The situation

sia there is civil war. Both the con-
tending parties are conscripting all
the available men. If the Russian
prisoners are now compelled to re-
turn to Russia they will have to take
part in most cruel war against their
own people.
Could America justify such a situ-
alton? The other day met a Rus
sian officer from Gen. Denikine's
army who solemnly said to me:
Thank God. we soon shall have 3O0,-
900 new men-the Russian prisoners
in Germany. England will arm them,
the French will cfothe them and
America has promised to supply the
food" Russian generals in Berlin

send them to the camps. the intention

q member Of the war expendi-
tures investigatinE committee,
which is here examining records
pertaining to the liquidation OF
the affairs Of the American
Army In France, said today that
he felt 1t was more important
to lower the cost of living for
the American public than to en-
deavOr to protect market prices
and prevent the market from
breaking.
MIR. Bland said the pressure
brought to bear by American

Of war supplies from France to
America were Objectionable to
him, adding that "vvhen Ameri-

seems strange that 80 many
good Army shoes should be sold
at low prices to Belgium and
other European cOun trfes,
American workingmen in the
meantime being forced to pay
higher prices In the United
States" He said the same was
true as to trucks and to motor
cars needed i'm America.
Until he knows the full details
OF the liquidation Of American

1t would be unwise to criticise
TOO sharply, rs 1t would probably
