RUSSIAN WOUNDED' AND. SICK BURNT ALIVE. > By Meeraph—Presß Association—Copyright (Rec. July 7, 11.30 p.m.) Petrograd, July 7. The Russian newspaper "Novoe Vremya" has carefully_ investigated tlie case of Germans in Galicia burning alive Russian wounded prisoners, together, with their doctors.■ Wounded men, with infectious cases from the Carpathians, were left in the Jesuit College at Cliyrow, and when the Germans came up they , removed the infectious cases and isolated them in wooden barracks, with the Russian doctors who were attending them, shut all tho windows and the doors and poured paraffin on the building, burning one hundred alive. , Tho Germans do not' deny the fact. German aeroplanes 1 dropped proclamations pointing out that , they were forced to resort to cruelty from stern necessity, in order not to carry the infection into their army, and also to teach the . Russians not to leave their sick and wounded behind, thus burdening the German Medical Staff. The proclamation concludes 'with the hope that the Russians would learn, the lesson.
