PRISONERS IN EXILE.

WORK OF THE RED CROSS IN HOLLAND.

Probably none but the men who came from the depressing in- fluences of the German prison camps last year will appreciate at its true value the work dane for the interned prisoners in Holland: but the public who subscribed so generously to Red Cross funds will be glad to have some know- ledge of the way in which their money was expended. The work was necessarily an improvisation dependent entirely upon the energy thrown into it by willing belpers, at the head of whom was Mr. Francis Voules, the Com- missioner for Holland, but its practical results were of the bighest value.

а

When the interned mea were first expected in Holland towards. the end of 1917 the reaction of wat conditions upon Holland im- posed many obstacles to the work. The attitude of the Dutch labour unions was hostile. The labour market was overstocked. and it was not surprising that the first condition laid down was that no prisoner should be provided with employment unless it was clear that Datch workmen were unavailable. Nevertheless carpenter's shop was soon started. which from the first paid its way. and also trained a large body of tilled men. In other trades it found possible to avoid. competition with the Dutch workruan. For instance, the tailors and bootmakers' shops the Hague received the uniforms and Army boots fram England interded for the use of the prisoners themselves, and it was their duty to fit and repair them. They carried out the whole of this work for the 5,000 or more men interned in Holland. up to the date of the Armistice.

As the scheme developed many other trades were included. Their variety was such that it would have been almost hopeless to obtain instructors had not the officers and men as they arrived from Germany eagerly offered the help of their professional skill. Efficient motor mechanics came forward to man an instruc. tional school, there were 130 men in a telegraphy school, there was a leather workshop making leather cases and bags, an agricultural department, which, it is true, was handicapped by the Dutch trade union dificulty, but achieved useful instructional work, a bicycle shop doing repairs, and a legal department to con tinue the education of law students and to give legal advice to the British prisoners. Besides these activities were the purely educational courses, giving in- struction in many languages and in commercial subjects.

The Armistice naturally put an end to this valuable work, and the energies of the Commission were turned into a new channel.

the food supplies of the men returning from Germany, and it was also able to shorten the delays in repatriation. A measure of the work done in this direction is suggested by the fact that there were 65,000 prisoners repatriated through Holland from Germany after the signing of the Armistice.

During the present year the Commission has turned its atten- tica to the Russian prisoners in Germany. They were in a hope. lessly demoralized state. Of those who had returned to Russsia, thousands had perished by the way, and officers who refused to join the Bolshevists were shot by. hundreds; while those who re- mained behind were starving, and Germany could offer no more. food. In these circumstances it was suggested that the supplies available should be distributed among the famishing Russians near the Dutch frontier. This was, arranged, and the Commis- sion was shortly providing for the wants of 45,000 men. Of the effectiveness of this humane work it is sufficient to say that the death-rate, which was 272 last January, fell from the moment that the Red Cross took over and was reduced to 29 for the month.
