GERMAN ALLEGATION
Treatment Of Prisoners (8.0.W.) RUGBY, September 2. The War Office has issued the following statement:— “A German communique has stated that orders were given by the British in the Dieppe operations that prisoners’ hands should be tied to prevent them from destroying their papers. Investigations are being made whether in fact any such order was issued. It is categorically denied that any German prisoner had his hands tied, and if any such order was issued it will be cancelled.” This War Office communique followed a German announcement that the hands of British prisoners taken at Dieppe would be chained in retribution for the alleged tying of the hands of German prisoners by the British.
POLISH NAVY.— Vice-Admiral Swiraki reported to General Wladyslaw Sikorski, Prime Minister of Poland, at his headquarters in Scotland on the position of the Polish Navy, which is taking over new warships of various types. This extension of the Polish naval forces has been made possible by the arrival from Russia of many Polish sailors and volunteers for naval services. (Rugby).
