injunction to restrain the city school
board from proceeding with its plan to
erect school building upon the unoc-
cupied part of the Lincoln school, now

EAGER TO BE RID OF GERMANS
British Plan Early Repatriation Of
w ar Prisoners.

London-The plans for the Immediate
repatriation of German war prisoners
have been received with JOY not only by
the prisoners themselves, but by fully
one hundred thousand who are still en-
ployed in guarding them. Had the terms
Of the peace treaty been strictly observed
the German soldiers now in England
could not have gone home until Decem-
Der or January.
It is understood that the British war
office has been pressing for permission
to repatriate the prisoners for some
time, because the expense of maintaining
the prisoners in the camps far out
weighed any advantage that could be de-
rived from their labor.
Many Of the camps are situated in Sc
cluded districts and costly motor trans
portation is necessary to maintain their
daily supplies. Moreover the camps re
qnire many large buildings and extern
sive land tracts which could be better
used. Therefore the early release Of the
prisoners effects important economies.
Some Of these men have been in cap
tivity since December, 1915. and il is
estimated that twenty thousand Ger
mans have been IN English camps for
more than three years.
