Prisoner Lists Swamp
Red Cross at Geneva
BY the Associated Press.

os LIc hSSOCldtcu TEcoS.
GENEVA, June 1.-THE Pris-
oners' Bureau of the International
Red Cross was almost swamped
yesterday with lists of prisoners
coming from both the Allies and the
Germans after the fighting for
Paris.
Red Cross officials declined to give
the total estimate, either of those
registered or those still coming in,
but informed sources said the Ger
mans alone had reported a total of
100000 prisoners by June S. CThe
German high command already
has made substantially the same
claim)
These were divided as follows:
100000 Belgians, 1000 Dutch, 200,- :
600 French, and 100000 mixed
British, Belgian and French as yet
unclassified.
Two hundred Swiss volunteers
are working in the prisoners
bureau, and 100 more are trying to
work through the long official lists
from Berlin, Paris and London,
and the tens of thousands of letters
from individuals, seeking news for
their families.
In the first six months the bureau
handled $4,000 letters, but expects
as many queries within the next
two weeks alone.

Democrat, of Nevada has proposed
that the flyer cease efforts to create

Senator Pittman, chairman of

night:
If Col. Lindbergh desires to help
in our national defense, let him
throw aside all of his false political

Lindbergh's Statement.
Senator Pittman's speech followed
a broadcast Saturday night in
which Col. Lindbergh declared:
This dabbling we have been
doing in European affairs can lead
us only to failure in the future as
it has in the past.
I'VE demand that foreign nations

doing to England and France what
they did to Abyssinia, to Czecho-
Slovakia, to Poland, to Finland, to
Norway-we have encouraged them
to hope for help we cannot send"
To this, Senator Pittman replied:
Col. Lindbergh evidently desires
and intends to stop the purchase
OF materials in this country by Great
Britain and France. It is
significant that when the United
States had its markets open to Ger
many for all the materials, arms
and instruments of war that have

which he knew one day he must
write. And, probably, Sholem Asch
is the only man alive who possesses
both the talent and the scholarship
requisite to such an accomplish
ment.
THE Nazarene" presents sweep
ing, glowing panorama of Jerusal-
EN- and the provinces nearly two
thousand years ago during the most
dramatic period Of human history.
1t recreates the splendors of the
wealthy and the despair Of the
seething populace crushed under
the iron hand of Rome. The dry
dust of history is moulded again in
to life, and as we read we are
ourselves living in the time, sens
ing every time and moment the
colors, the sounds, and even the
smells of reality, as we move thru
each successive scene.
BY an extraordinarily successful
device Asch so tells his story that
we see it from three different an
giles, of the Roman, of a disciple
Of the Nazarene, of young man
of the people in Jerusalem.
Part one of the novel shows us
the Palestine of privilege and pow
er through the eyes of Cornelius
the military governor of Jerusalem
under Pontius Pilot. And it is thru
Cornelius, the cool and efficient Of
ficer of Rome, that we first hear
of the Galilean who is winning such
popular enthusiasm in the pro-
vinces. Cornelius is feted by the
High Priests in their luxurious pal
aces in Jerusalem. He participates
in the Hellenic pleasures of the
wealthy young men in the city. He
visits Herod at his summer palace
and witnesses Salome's dance and
the presentation of her award-the
head of John the Baptist 1t is
Cornelius who cynically suggests
that Salome would be a suitable
present for the Emperor Tiberius
But even Cornelius is moved by the
power of the teacher from Nazar-
eth and senses danger to the EN-
pire when he hears him.
Part two is Asch's most danger.
Gus, courageous-and perhaps most
triumphant contribution, for ii
purports to be a fragment of the
gospel according to the disciple Jul
das Iscariot, and it is told in mag
nificently cadenced prose.
Part three is the narrative of JOS
eph, a young student of Nicodemus,
the most learned and most SYM
pathetic Of the Pharisees. The
story gathers in intensity; we fol
low with almost unbearable ten
sion the happenings of the most
fateful week in history, and are
carried on to conclusion that
leaves us moved and shaken.
But until those last inspired and
inspiring chapters are reached, it is
the color, the living quality of the
novel that will impress the reader
most. Each of the three accounts
is also the life story of it's narrator,
exciting and dramatic in it's own
