ESCAPED GERMANS.

SURRENDER TO POLICE. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Hawera, April 23. Two escapee?, William Otting and Walter Moormeister, from the Featherston internment camp, turned up at Hawcra, where they surrendered to the police. The men, who are steamer firemen, say they have been interned nearly four years and want to get bachto their country to work. A few months ago they were told they would be repatriated, but the orders were changed and they felt very disappointed and disgusted and, to bring matters to a head, escaped from custody. However, they had just seen a paper in which it was stated that the Willochra was to take a party back at the end of the month so they at once gave themselves up to the police to be returned to camp and hope to be included in the Wfllochra draft- The police hei\ are holding the men awaiting instructions from the military authorities.
