“The basis of this arrangement
briefly:
“1. Both of the belligerent govern-
.fmts undertakes to furnish for the
information of the others a complete
statement of its policy with regard to
the treatment of prisoners, with fulll
details showing the supplies furnish-
ed and the conditions of their life
during internment, supplemented by
copies of orders and instructions is-
sued from time to time to the com-
mandants of the prisoners camps.
"2. The belligerent governments
will permit the representatives of the
united States in each country to have
access to the prisoners and will al-
low the prisoners to furnish state—
lenis about their treatment, the
conditions of life and requirements
l
1
Lil
which they wish to have communicat- i
ed to their own government.
"it is understood that the govern-
ment of the United States in undet-
toking this work assumes no responii-
bility of any kind beyond the mercy
transmission of the statements and'
the distribution of supplies furnish-ed,
as above indicated. in accorduncoyi
with such restri; lions and regain-l
tious as are imposed by the govcrn-i
ments concerned,
“These arrangements are based up-yi
on arrangements contained in a re-1
port made at the end of November;
to the Department of State by
Honorable (“;andler P. Anderson, fury
merly counsellor for the department,,
who early in November discussed they
subject with the foreign offices of
Great Britain, Germany and Austria-
Hungary and visited detention camps
in those countries.
"The good offices
States were exercised at
the i
i
United 5
of the
-tlme to bring about a better under-t
standing among the beiligcrents {tn‘l
regard to the repatriation of civilian?
citizens detained in these coutitries.Ll
“Mr. Anderson's report shows that-i
these governments had then agreed
not to detain any women or Skildren,
or males under 17 or “fibrils, between
\W‘wn.fiufl’cdrinnuy, or under
18 or over 50 between Great Britain
and Austria-Hungary or physicians or;
clergyman, unless some special rea-
son justified detention in individual
cases.
“Both sides agreed to arrange for
the reciprocal release of all civilians
physically disqualified for military
service.
in addition to the arrangements thus
adopted, these governments have un‘
der consideration further arrange,
ments for the exchange and release oft
detained enemy aliens, which arrang-
ments, and the respective positions
of the belligerent governments With
respect thereto are understood to be
as follows:
“1. The German and .‘iustrdHung-1
l
OTTO.“ governments are prepared to:
agree to the reciprocal release of civ-yf
illans over the age for compulsory!
.nlllltnry service under their rcspec-l
live laws, which in Germany is 451
» years and in Austria-l-iungary ‘42
years of age. The British govemmentl
L have refused as yet to reduce the
age below in the case of Germany.
L and 50 in the case of Austria»Hung-:

consideration and may be reconsid-

‘ provisions of Articles 6 and 7 of thef
Eleventh Home Convention of 1907.
,ulegarding the crews of enemy vmer- .
LL chant ships captured by a belliger-
. out, but there has been a difference .y
'7 between the two governments as to
the meaning of these provisions.
y “The-German government interpretyy

to be released from imprisonment. ~
but permitted to return to'thair own
country without hinderance if theva
y. so,y.desire, under parole against em~
' r ployment in any service connected
with the operations of the war. .m’
"The British government, on the.
other hand, interpret these provisions}
as merely requiring the liberation on
