THE GERMAN ESCAPEES.
j To the Editor. Sir, —The Right Hion.' W. F. Massey says: "The affair should be a lesson to the people, not only of this, but other countries, to see that greater precautions were taken in future to ensure a more effective guard being placed over enemy prisoners, so as to prevent any similar occurrence."—Daily News, Dec. 20. Now, whatever the result of the present enquiry may be, or what lesson the people may derive from the affair, is it not a fact that the Prime Minister and his colleagues arc directly responsible to the people for the safeguarding of enemy prisoners ? Surely the people who have ;been trying for months past, per medium of the deaf and dumb language, to express their attitude towards aliens, ouWit not to be asked to take a lesson which belongs to the leaders ?—I am, etc., RENOWN. Inglewood, Dec. 20.
