An advance party of 100 men last night left the Poppenderf and Am Stau camps, where the Exodus refugees are housed, for the new camp at Emden and Wilhelmshaven. A protest will be lodged with the local British authorities against the fact that the party was transported in unlit, unheated cars ## it was impossible to feed the passengers except when the train halted.

Jewish medical officers at the old camps are planning to protest the fact ##at there are no stores of medicines and first aid supplies and no medical equipment ## the new centers. It is highly possible that if the Jewish protests are ignored, ## refugees will refuse to leave their camps Sunday night, as slated.
