BERLIN. -Sovietism's success" Sin
starvation-is stamped upon the coun-
tenances of hundreds of returning Ger
man prisoners of war, coming out of
Russia and Siberia.
The Russian prisoners going back
to Russia from German camps look
badly enough; but the men for whom
they are exchanged are pitiable by
comparison. In fact, the situation with
the men. coming out of Russia is such
that many a Russian who saw them
during the exchange near Narva de-
clared, 81 don't want to go back to So
Wet Russia; | never dreamed the stu
alton was so bad"
AS the result of conclusion of the
German Russian prisoner exchange
agreement, five ships have Deen char
tered by Germany to ply between
Narva and Swinemunde carrying war
prisoners as rapidly as possible.
The 100000 Russians from Germany
are met by local soviets and started
for their home districts. The Ger
mans are welcomed at Swinemunde
and Stettin and thence distributed to
their homes.
At Narva the sight is strange. Rus
SLAMS homecoming-some after SIX
years in Germany, gaze IN astonlsh-
ment at the Germans outward bound.
Many of the Germans taken in Mos
cow were literally in rags, but the
soviet government sought to improve
their appearance by distribution OF
captured German uniforms. Some
with the fancy colors of Kaiser Will
helms day-built for substantial sol
diers-hang anonymously over bodies
which now are literally skin and bones.
Many of them-notably shipment
in from Siberia at the close of May
were positively shocking in their bag
gard starvation.
The Y. NJ. CA. is distributing Gig
arettes and candy to the prisoners
while the exchange is nominally under
the control of the international Rec
Cross. Every effort is being made t.
send to their homes all prisoners now
in Russia and Germany before cole
weather sets in and makes transfer
impossible.

eventually fell pierced through by
bayonet. The empress and Alexis,
heir to the throne, clasped in close
embrace, walked almost automatically
into the flames and disappeared IN
