"If your brother is a wounded prisoner, you may rest assured that he is being properly looked after by the Turks, as we have overwhelming evidence that they are looking after t.heir wounded prisoners we 1, in spite of the fact that they have over 00,000 of their own wounded." This is borne out by an extract from the letter of another ofiicer recently invalided home, after being wounded in a heavy engagement at Qninn's Tost:—"lf taken prisoner, and sick or wounded, he. will lie well cared for, and if unharmed, will be treated with consideration. The oflieers of the enemy, in the great majority of cases, are treating their prisoners with the same consideration that we ex-li-nd lo ours."

In reply, however, his Excellency (he Belgian Minister states that, in the view of (he Belgian Government, it is unwise to encourage such a procedure, as, at the conclusion of the war, ow'ng to the enormous wastage of human life in Flanders, every able-bodied man, woman and child will be wanted to repopulate (he country.
