EXCHANGE OF PRISONERS.
BRITISH AT BAKU. By Telegraph —Press Assn—Copyright. London, July 27. In the, House of Commons, replying to a question regarding the 57 British prisoners at Baku, Mr. Bonar Law said the' Russian Soviet disclaimed responsibility, as Baku was part of 'the Azerbaijan Republic. Subseqently the Soviet wired, protesting against the suspension of the repatriation of Russian prisoners, suggesting that the Government fix a date for the complete exchange of the Anglo-Russian prisoners, whereupon the Soviet would use its influence with Azerbaijan to secure the release of the Baku prisoners. The British Government replied that it would arrange the exchange as soon as it learned the Soviet would secure the repatriation of all British subjects in Russia, including Baku, and that till the belief, which was greatly exciting the British public, that these prisoners were inhumanely treated was dissipated, the impending negotiaitons must be futile.—Rcuter.
