NAZI BARBARITY
I POLISH WAR PRISONERS An official statement by the Polish authorities in Paris reveals the piteous condition of 700,000 Polish prisoners of war in German camps. The prisoners are too ill and fatigued for work. Sometimes they are sent back to Poland, many dying en route. Of one trainload, 70 per U cent were too weak to stand up 9 when they reached their destina--1 tion. and 211 of another trainload | of 2000 died en route to Warsaw from East Prussia. While 800 pri-' " soners were marching from Lublin to Lubartow 400 perished. There is a fearful mortality rate in the camps, where prisoners are f overworked and underfed, clad in - rags and weakened by disease. ConI ditions vary in Russia, but some ! samps are disease-ridden.
