By the Associated Press

Four Wisconsin men were among 177 prisoners of war shifted by the Japanese from a prison camp on Formosa to Manchukuo, according to a war department (listed with their next of kin) included:

Co. Archibald M. Mixson, Mrs. Trove A. Mixson, Waupaca

The transfer to Manchuko, which may have been a reflection of Japanese fear of an invasion of Formosa, was completed in November, the War department said it has been advised. The prisoners including Johnathan M. Wrain wright, were moved from a camp at Taiwan on Formosa to Hoten camp at Mukden in Manchukuo.
