REPATRIATION, HUN RUSSIA PRISONERS Moscow.—An understanding has been reached between Russia and Austria that pending f.'nal agreement regarding the repatriation of war prisoners, able-bodied prisoners may be exchanged immediate ly. head for head in number.- as great as the carrying capacity of railroads and other means of transportation permit. It is also stipulated that civil prisoners of military age shall be released. Negotiations between Russia and Ger many regarding the same question have been interrupted because Germany in sisted upon an exchange, head for head. ” sisted upon an exchange, head for head, which arrangement would be of great advantage to her as she has the larger number of prisoners who would remain [and work in Germany. The Russians wanted ail prisoners repatriated and re gardless of the inequality of numbers. The matter has been submitted to Ber lin for adjustment.

SEHOENM FAVOR OE ‘URYS’ Daniels Appears Before Sen ate Committee Favoring No Beer for Shipyard Workers. Cabinet Members Divided Washington, D. C.—Cabinet members were sharply divided .on the. prohibition question at the hearing yf the senate ag riculture committee today; with Secre tary of the Navy Daniels, espousing the measure and Postmaster-General Burleson on the side of the "wetfc.” Daniels contends that the efficiency of the navy yards had increased .wherever prohibition had been adopted Burleson said such a law "might re sult in delaying the suc<esßful prosecu tion of the war." In response to a question of Senator Kenyon, Burleson said he was not speak ing for the administration but. expressing his personal views. "The great bulk of the men in shipyards arc capable and trust worthy,’ said Daniels. "in every case where prohibition hit* ad' nr-.l the change had '" t ultv.’. « \ 'hn'. .'a. I ficieney. . “Newport. R. 1., and Mire Islahd, Calif., are (woof the places where a great Im provement has been brought about. "Many protested the Mare Island ruling at the time. There are few opposed to day A destroyer was recently launched there in record-breaking time. Deplorable Conditions. "At Newport, conditions were? so de plorable that it would have been a crime to have permitted them to continue. It Is a mistake to think men in the yards would lessen work because of prohibition. "When congress says 2,000.000 men in ♦he army and more than 400,000 in the navy shall be denied liquor, I do not think you are encroaching on the right of citizens to make the same ruling. "We ought not to use one bushel of wheat except to aid in winning the war. We ought not to use a single man ex cept in some kind of work that will help win the war.” Daniels said he believed the workers in the shipyards to be as patriotic as the men in the service and quite as will ing to make any sacrifice for the good of the country. "Prohibition in the navy was opposed by a number of officers when it was adopted, but very few would go back to the old rule.” he declared. "This is no time to have patience wiQi fanatics,” declared Burleson. A Disturbing Law. "Nothing should Im* done to lessen the strength or diminish the energy of the American people. I don’t believe in class legislation. If I believed •this legislation would help bring the war speedily to an end I would be in favor of It at once. It seems to me that you gentlemen should seek information of the food administra tor or the secretary of agriculture. “I believe this legislation would be dis turbing and might result In delaying the prosecution of the war I do not. think it would be disastrous. "I have always believed in the personal liberty of the citizen and have been against prohibition, as J am now. “If this bone-dry law Is enacted it will cause a fight in every congressional dis trict in the United States, where prohi bition would be an issue.” Burleson said he had no specific knowl edge of what the effect of prohibition had been where adopted Referring to the action of some of the prohibitionists he said "they are pestering you to act."
