The French Government has issued an order providing for the freeing from isolation centers of refugees who are ill or are above the age of 48, it was reported by Dr. Paul Hertz, former Reichstag member, speaking at a meeting of the Independent German Refugees’ Organization.
Refugees under the age of 48 can obtain their freedom by volunteering for military or labor service. They receive the same rights as French soldiers and their families receive the rights of soldiers’ families. Those refugees who can obtain visas for foreign countries may leave France immediately.
