THE TREATMENT OF PRISONERS.

There are quite a number of people who are more apt to believe all that is good of their enemies than all that Is good of their friends < Of such are they who scoff at the idea of the Germans being cruel towards their war prisoners. An American who served with the French, was captured, and subsequently escaped, tells a first-hand tale of comparisons In recounting his experiences, he says in an American magazine. “The German who is fortunate enough to be captured by the Allies has really a pleasant time. He is sure of good, clean barracks, with a bed to sleep upon and sufficient blankets and food. But it is different in the German camps. There are no beds for us. The Germans are frequently very brutal to their prisoners. A sentry uses his bayonet first and inquires afterward. He will never be punished for anything that he does to prisoners. ” He tells how he saw German charge), wtith fixed bayonets, a party of English prisoners because the latter refused to do down into the salt mines, where the labour had produced sores on the prisoners’ backs, and the doctors refused to give healing treatment. Comment is superfluous.
