GERMANS LEAVING BRITAIN.
DEPARTURE OF PRISONERS. KO WISH FOR THEIR RETURN. London, Aug. 29. The decision of the Paris Council to repatriate prisoners of war prior to the general ratification of the Peace Treaty rids Britain of the cost of maintaining 300,000 prisoners in English and French camps, and relea'ses 100,000 soldiers acting as guards. Mr. Winston Churchill, Secretary of State for War, emphasises that the outlay, which aggregates £90,000 daily, far outweighs the advantage derived from the employment of the prisoners, 20,000 of whom are employed in farming. Manufacturers in various districts are keenly anxious that the Government should not permti finy Germans to remain in or return to England. The Employers' Association at Nottingham are pledged to boycott for 10

A leading manufacturer says: "Wo hare not. forgotten that Germans who made fortunes at Nottingham slipped away on the eve of the war and wrote us insulting letters. We have warned all foreign agents not to employ Germans if they desire to continue handling Nottingham goods."
