THE GERMAN PRISONERS

ARRANGEMENTS FOE REPATRIATION. The departure of the Willochra from Wellington with some 400. German prisoners of war and internees will take place this week. The prisoners from Featherston Camp will "be brought to Wellington by special train to-morrow. Other'prisoners are to come from Auckland. • , , , The number of men set down for repatriation has been reduced by the release of a. few internees who have been able to establish a claim to Polish nationality. It is understood that tho New Zealand Government has recognised this nationality only in cases where tho Foreign Office in London has vised passports issued by the Provisional Polish Government. Tho questions of nationalih- raised 'by the creation of new; orates in Europe am exceedingly complicated, and it is scarcely possible to adjust them on this side of the world. The Willochra is to proceed to Australia, where she will embark additional Germans to the full .extent of her capacity. Tho Australian Government has been holding some thousands ]of enemy subjects during the war and ha* ordered the repatriation of a substantial proportion of them. The vessel, it is understood, will, land the prisoners at Rotterdam.
