tories, the graves of combatants
as well as of other nationals of
the other party who died during
their internment or deportation;
persons authorized by the latter
party may also tend to the care

national authorities.
The more detailed contractual
settlement of this matter will devolve
upon a special mixed commission
to be appointed as soon
as possible.
AMNESTY FOE THE PRISONERS.
Article 9. Each contracting
party grants to the war prisoners,
interned civilians, and deported
belonging to the other party complete
immunity from penalty for
all acts committed by them and
punishable by the courts or in
virtue of disciplinary measures,
and finally, to the nationals of
the other party for punishable
acts performed to its benefit.
The immunity from penalty
foreseen in the preceding paragraph
does not extend to acts
committed after the ratification
of the Peace Treaty.
In so far as according to the
preceding provisions, immunity
from penalty is
granted, no new
penal proceedings will be instituted,
the pending penal proceedings
will bo discontinued, and
penalties already imposed will be
remitted. But war prisoners who
are under preliminary arrest or in
prison for State or National
treason, for murder, robbery,
predatory extortion, premeditated
arson, or crime against
morality, will be detained up to
the time of their release.
The contracting parties guarantee
to their own nationals complete
immunity from penalty for
