THE GERMAN BRUTES
A MASTERTON resident is in receipt of a letter from a relative in Australia, who tells a story of German brutality towards British prisoners. A son of the. writer of the letter was on active service and had not been heard of for some time. At length he wrote from Germany stating that he was a prisoner of war, and that he was being treated handsomely. In conclusion he said: "As yon have not heard from me for some time, you should take the stamp from this letter and place it in your album." The stamp was removed, and beneath it was written, so as to escape the German censor, these 'words : "The "German brutes have cut off both my. legs."
