With the American Army in France, May 7?American prisoners of war are being shamefully treated in German prisop camps if all have had the experience of an American interviewed by a French soldier, also a prisoner in Germany, just before he escaped. The Frenchman's; story, as told to American officers, follows: "A short time before I left Hameln, Hanover, I was able to have a few minutes interview with an American soldier who was taken prisoner sometime ago on trie French front Being unwounded, he was assigned directly to a prison camp, weaicened by excessive work he was. forced to go in the salt mines and being unable to stay longer, he was sent to Hamelq. "I do not remember the name of the man or the number of his regiment, but he had been among the first Americans in the trenches and his home was in New York. He told me that during the three months he was in the Harz mines he had lost 33 pounds. He was a man who was solidly built and it could be easily seen that he had been vigorous and healthy but when I saw him he was incredibly thin and so weak that he could hardly cross a room ' without stopping repeatedly, leaning on pieces of furniture or supporting himself on boxes piled there. "Englishmen are also being badly i treated in the mines. I found out that three or seven who were sent back to Hameln died. Package service does not exist in the mines and the prisoners receive practically nothing. Their only nourishment is from thin soup made of barley or cabbage sometimes salted, codfish eggs and those of other fish which it is impos-j sible to eat. There are few potatoes: and very little bread. It is impossi-j ble for a man to work without be- J coming sick or weakened to the point of falling down. "The man are struck with rifle butts and the flat side of bayonets and are placed in dark cells on bread and water. These cells are known to the mine prisoners as 'hot j chambers' as they are heated by I steam to a high temperature. After the men are held in these cells they are turned out in the snow where ' ' J n f ' O tney are requireu swuu tention' for certain lengths of time. Needless to say deaths are frequent. "This American had been punished several times in this way and told me all that I am relating to you. I am able to confirm his story because other Englishmen and Frenchmen I saw at Hameln did not have the strength even to hold a cigarette." V V ^ BETHIA NEWS.
