ONE MORE LIE
FROM A GERMAN PAPER. It is unfortunate if the Germans wish the world to believe the news that they are sending out in all directions that they should publish statements capable of instant disproof. The "Frankfurter Zeituug" has published a letter, nearly a column long, from a captured "German soldier in England." This supposed correspondent, among other allegations, declares: "Last week, as true as I ,now live, we had forty-sis deaths, all of them from inflammation of. the lungs and stomach troubles. .If only wo could: got reasonably good food, it would be tolerable, but what we are given is nothing but food for dogs, and it is very seldom cooked at all." The short, direct answer'is the Press Bureau to this. Out of the. whole number of German prisoners or war five lmve died,' and none of these either from inflammation of the lungs or stomach troubles. . The. causes of death have been: One valvular disease of the heart, two aneurism of the aorta, one fracturde skull, the result of an accident, ai\d one dropsy. So one more lie is nailed to the counter. .•".■Weitminster .Gazette.''
