French Seek Allied Aid
In Helping Prisoners
OF War in GERMANY
BY HELEN KIRKPATRICK,
War Correspondent for The Star and
The Chicago Daily News.

The Chicago Daily News.
PAR1S, Mar. 5.-The increas-
ingly serious situation of the sew
eral million Frenchmen, who are
prisoners of war and deportees In
Germany, has forced the French
government to take unusual mea-
sures and to seek Allied cooper
alton.
Henry Frenay, French minister
for prisoners. has sought a meeting
Of British, Americans and French
to discuss ways and means of i'm
proving the desperate plight of the
prisoners and France has put at
the disposal of Switzerland 300 Of
its few freight cars for transport
ing food parcels which have been
piling up in that country.
The French have been sending
100000 10-pound parcels a month
to their unfortunate compatriots,
through Switzerland. But, due to
the fact that the advances of the
Russians and Allied forces have
caused the Germans to move their
prison camps, and because of lack
of available freight cars and trucks
In Switzerland, for several months
the parcels have not been reaching
the prisoners.
French prisoners, released through
the Russian advance, have returned
here to tell tales reminiscent of the
experiences of Americans taken
prisoner by the Japanese.
Hundreds of thousands of French
families are now in a state of acute
anxiety lest their prisoner relatives
die of starvation or disease, which
is reported rampant, at the very
moment when liberation seems near
at hand.
