If the French and of talian contributions are received by an hen, the work will g oon until all ni >risoners are returned to their homes. th t should be added that all the ex >enses for repartriating German pris- op mers are borne by the German gov- m: rnmnent itself. nI To carry out the repatriation, a I th rleet of ships has been chartered in w) he nane of the league of nations, mn nost of which will travel between R1 ermany and Russia in the Baltic, w' >ut others will make the long six sa veeks trip from Hamburg to Vladi iostok. In order to keep the expenses it the lowest possible figure, car- le ,oes haev been booked on the longer th *oyage ships at the same time that to >risoners are being transported. wl It is perhaps interesting that of- te icials of the league of nations, in thi he extremely diflicult and complicat- ti< ,d task of returning prIsoners of wvar tr 0 their homes amidlst the most con- se used political condlitions, are dlirect- ': ng a smnal fleet of steamers, secur- nt ng cargoes, and overseeing all the Iof vork necessar yto carry out this os- a ential humanitarian work in -e nost, economical way. The e 2 u- 5t ion of the great amount of dletail ei vork involved is being carried out ra y representatives of the interna- ni ional committee of the Red Cross or md1( by German government authori- tv. First Ship Sailed in May ati On the PnItic, which is the most Ic mplortant rc. -, 15 vessels have been - -hazrteredl to ply back and forth be ween Stettin, Germany andl Navva nd Riga in Esthohia and Bijorko in "inland. When the first ship sailed ~arly in May, last, there were over ~00,000) Russians still in Germany and mn equal nummber of Central European >risoners still in Russia, Siberia and l'urkestan, oif whom only abiout 25,000 vere- G;ermnans, while the rest were Ilunga rians, A ustrians, Czechs, Ru nanians, Poles andl Serbs. Up to the )rst5i ti me about 30,000 prisoners mive b~een repatriatedl each way, or itotal of 60,000 via the Baltic route. I'he present weekly rate of repatri it ion on this route is 8,000 with the 2xceptionl of reaching 16,000 to 20, )00 shortly. The second route runs from 11am murg through the Red Sea, to Vladi 'ostok. By this route between 20,000 mod 30,000 Austrians, IHungarians, Rumanians andl Poles still in eastern Siberia would be brought back, and roughly the same number of east Siberianm Russians still in Germany, taken out to their homes. Two ves 4els, each capable of taking 1,500 or ?,000 mn per trip, have alreadly been aha rtered for this wvork and cargoes 4ecuiredl despite the dlifliculty of find ing material for export from Ger nany to the Far East.

It its hoped that Italy ill contribute the shipping neces ry for this route. Dr. Nansen is convinced that un is all the interested nations give eir most immediate and earnest aid thi sproblem thousands of men 10 have for years endured the most rrible suffering will not survive e forthcoming winter. The condi mn of the prisoners now being repa iatedl is stated to be almost inde ribably pitiful, the prisoners com. g out of their long confinement, t only without the essential articles clothing, but also very often in dlesperately bad physteal condlition.
