GERMAN BRUTALITY
DYING BRITISH SPAT UPON Hmsterdam, Ootober 18. The war correspondent of the newspaper "De Tijd" travelled in a train convoying two thousand wounded from Brussels to Landen on the 9th. He saw there seventy wounded British soldiers, lying on filthy straw. They had been fcodlesß for five days. The German soldiers had distributed soup to tho other prisoners, but tantalised the British by holding food to their noses and then withdrawingit. They also spat in their faces. On the- correspondent protesting, and saying the British had only done their duty, like tho other wounded, a sergeant roared: "They arc dirty mercenaries." Not one of tho hundred Germans present offered the least aid to their dying enemies.
