WAR PRISONERS
AUSTRALIAN INFLUX (0.C.) SYDNEY, December 19. Australia's growing population of grisoners of war has been added to y. the arrival of Nazi and Italian prisoners from the Near East. They included some of the Fifth Columtourists" from Iran and other Middle East countries to which they had been sent to prepare the way for German intervention along the usual Nazi lines. German soldiers captured in Libya, who had not heard of the German rout on the Russian front or of the latest British successes in Libya, boasted that the war would be over in another eight months. In the spring, they said, the skies over Britain would be so thick with planes that they would obscure the sun.
