A PATHETIC HOMECOMING,

"THE TIMES."'] [BY A CORRESPONDENT OF

As one of a party of three representa tives of the British Red Cross returning from Serbia by way of Russia to Eng Land, I have, by the courtesy of the Rus sian and, especially, of the Swedish au- thorities, had an opportunity of seeing an exchange of wounded Gorman and Russian prisoners. I can only deeply regret that representatives of all the neu- tral peoples did not seo what I have seen. The exchange took place at the Russo Swedish frontier between Tornea and Haparanda at the bead of the Gulf of Bothnia. The Russian prisoners, retura ed from Germany are sent by water to Stockholm. There they are loaded on barges, about 200 to a barge, and, under care of the Swedish Red Cross, are tran sported to Tornos. The Germans being returned from Russia are brought by train to Tornca and handed over to the I Swedish authorities at Haparanda. watched the disembarcation of four barge-loads of returning Russians, x- tween 700 and 800 prisoners in all, and spoke to many of them, I went through a train of returning Germans and again In both casce spoke to many of the men. every possible facility was given me to assure myself of the condition of the prisonera

INFORMATION.

THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, HONDAY, OCTOBER 11mm, 1916,

The fourth of the series of articles from the pen of a neutral writer whose sympa- this are strongly with the Allies is pub fished in The Times. He has had what is probably a unique experience in the war zone and in travelling to neutral coun- trics.

During the last 12 months he has visited Belgium, Germany, France, Holland, Italy, Greece, Austria and Hungary, Russia, Bwodon, Norway, Rumania, Bulgaria, Serbia, and Great Britain-end some of these countries more then once.

Since I have arrived in England I have been asked by many acquaintances here to give my views of what are the German plane.

Apart from the German General Staff, leading commercial men, such as Ballin and others, and some of the politicians, I doubt whether anyone knows the nature of Germany's next moves. It is obvious, too, that the plans are changed from time to time to meet new emergencies.

It would seen, almost, that Gor- mans spied for the love of spying. have little doubt that England is to-day as closely honeycombed with semi-spies as So far as German opinion Belgium was. on the disposition of the British mind is The concerned, spying does not matter. Germans had erroneously made up their minds, on the evidence of their spies, that England would not go to war under any circumstances, and they now believe on the same evidence that a hastily raised army with amateur officers will not be able to heat them.

HEROINES OF THE "HESPERIAN."

WOMEN HELP WOUNDED SOL DIERS ON SINKING LINER.

The horcism of the women on board the lot liner Hesperian stands out to day as a splendid feature of the disaster.

Among the passengers were a number of officers and men of the Canadian con tingent, many of whom had interesting stories to tell.

One wounded Canadian, who was on his way to Ontario to get married, said that what struck bin most was the an xiety of the women on board to assist the wounded soldiers to the lifeboat.
