EXCHANGE OF PRISONERS
BRITAIN AND GERMANY RUGBY, Jan. 4. Further mutual repatriation of British Commonwealth and German seriously ill and wounded prisoners of war is in preparation. The Swiss Government has consented to an exchange through Switzerland, and it is hoped that the repatriates on both sides will be delivered in Switzerland about the third week in January. The Swiss are making available hospital trains, and the Swedish ship Gripsholm from New York and the Arundel Castle from Britain will be the ships used. No list of British repatriates has yet been received from the enerpy.
