PAPEETE. Island of Tahiti. Dec 2
j (Correspondence of the Associated
Press). The Paumotu islands, some
times called the "gold mine" of the
| Eastern Pacific, present a weird and I
: picturesque scene during the season j
for pearl fishing Prom August on
come the natives from the surround
ing islands to dive for pearls in the
calm waters of the lagoon thrown
- open for tiie purpose Within the
v narrow strip of sand which surrounds
the fishing ground are huddled three
>■ thousand or more, in a mushroom
city, shelltered beneath corrugated i
J iron or thatched roof huts It is a
£ motley company.
£ There is the Paumotu diver, a 1

i LONDON. Dec. US (Correspondence!
j of the Associated Press!. From
! Southampton and from Urlinsby i
ships are taking buck to Belgium the
lirst consignments of the thousands
of Belgian refugees who sought shol- ;
ter in this countrty at the beginning
of the war Present arrangements for
the repatriation of the exiles contem
plate the return only of those belong
ing to Antwerp and vicinity Later
those whose homes are in other parts

Speed with which general repatria

out depends upon the internal condi-i
lions of Belgiium and improvement
of road and rail transport The re-|
patriation will lie at the expense of
the British government.
Putting in order lines of cmiiiiiuiii
cation with released territories in Bel
gium has been a slow, laborious work, j
and there are many Belgians in Kng
land who have not yet been aide to
