Prisoners

Hollow-eyed, footsore, prematurely aged, Rudolf Kutz and Johann Mischalski stumbled into Beuthen, German Silesia last week, sought out the homes they had left 15 years before. They were World War prisoners. For the past 15 months they have made their way from a prison camp in northern Siberia through Moscow, to Kovno, then over the Polish border to Warsaw and southwest to Silesia.

"We didn't know the War was over," said Rudolf Kutz. "Nobody told us till 1929. We asked to be sent back, but nobody paid any attention, we had to walk. There are lots of fellows in that Siberian prison who don't know yet that peace has been signed."
