THE GUILE OF THE HUN.
PRISONERS IN SHELL-FIRE ZONE, ANOTHER LIE EXPOSED. A, & N.Z. Cable Association and Reuter. Admiralty, per Wireless Press. Received March 5, 5.5 p.m. , London, March 4. The German War Minister, speaking in the Reichstag, alleged that the German prisoners in France were ill-treated and forced to work in the shell-tire zone. He declared that his offer of negotiations was not answered, therefore he announced reprisals. It is officially explained here that France replied to the German Note, refuting the accusations, and offering, on a reciprocal basis, to permit the American Embassy to visit 'the prisoners, also to refrain from employing prisoners in the fire zone. Germany did not reply to this Note, documents show that the Germans first compelled the French prisoners to work within the range of the French guns here, and the present threat .of reprisals is evidently intended j to cover their own misdeeds.
