PARIS. Muv 11. (Bv the Asso- cinted Press.) Count Von Brock dorff-Rantzau. chief of the German peace delegation, in addressing a note to Premier Clemenceau relative to the repatriation of prisoners, nsks that the details of the transfer be en trusted to commissions. . The German foreiim minister states that the German peace delegation has "noted with, satisfaction" that the draft of the treaty recocnizes in prin ciple the repatriation of German war and civilian prisoners with ercat ex pedition. The. German delegation, it is said, considers it indispensable that those war and civil prisoners detained or undcrcoinc punishment for other than disciplinary offenses should in prin ciple be included anions those to be unconditionally repatriated. "Reaardine war and civilian pris oners of allied and associated powers in' its hands." the note savs, "Ger manv has recoenized the same princi ple. It appears self evident to the German delegation therefore that on sivunds of fairness certain allevia tions in the treatment of prisoners should be asreed upon pendimr their return." ' Onc-Slded Treatment Tho note then proceeds : "In a one sided manner, some feel the stipulations have been made in favor of the allied and associated srovernments. . For instance those rc Eiirdim: the surrender of personal property, the search for missing ob jects, nnd the care of graves might be cited. It is nssumed that those Questions, n demand for complete reciprocity, are founded on general human rights." , The note then refers to a number of minor points and proposes that deliberations bv commissions should be begun specdilv to clear op prelim inaries in readiness for the time when shipping and similar difficul ties mnv be solved and the removal of prisoners muv be possible. It al ludes to the importance to Germanv thut the prisoners return home under orderly conditions, insuring their re instatement into economic life with tho greatest possible dispatch, and savs that this seems onlv possible if everything is dono to "raise the moral nnd phvsicul stuto of thoso return ing" ' ' ' Asks Tor Help Since ' Gcrrnnnv's economic posi tion prevents her. bv her own strength from providing tho requisite guaran tees, the delegation suggests that the deliberations of the commissions might extend to the nuestion of how (Continued on page two.)
