will be insisted upon by the govern/vf

is confidently expected here. Sir
George Cave, the home secretary,
announced in the house of commons
yesterday that the same conditions
imposed upon Bulgaria in this matter
would be insisted upon in any truce
with Germany or Austria, and General
Allenby had been instructed to
follow the same policy in dealing with
the Turks.
There is plenty of evidence that
British prisoners have received worse
treatment throughout the war than
the others except the Russians.
Such a demand will be a very important
factor and it is not likely
that the other allies will show less
regard for their nationals who are
suffering in German camps. Events
since the German peace overtures
were launched have not tended to instill
any spirit of conciliation, forgiveness
or leniency toward the enemy
in British breasts. .
The sinking of the Leinster fol\
lowed close on the German note. The
evacuation of Belgium and French
towns, for years under German rule,
has opened what has heretofore been
largely a sealed hook of rumors and
authentic stories from truthful peo> .
pie of German barbarities towards
the inhabitants have been flooding
oot. *
Finally yesterday's discussions in
the house of commons of thp treatment
of British prisoners appeared
to have been about the last straw
breaking the back off British pap
tience?patience which the country
generally seems to think has been
carried , too far. The Germans have
%%- only'themselves to blame that these
revelations came at a time, so unfortunate
for German interests.
The topic was forced upon the
house by a strong demand liy the
public for light upon the circum
stances or wnat is lermea uerman
blackmail in refusing to ratify an
agreement drawn up for an equitable
exchange of prisoners unless the British
consented to go outside that subject
and give guarantees against the
deportation of Germans to China.
. Captain Craig, a member of the
hpuse and himself an exchanged pris,
onerx told with emotion of his experiences
and. the sights he had seen in
N the prison camps. 4
' ? Sir George Cave, the home secre>
' 1 tary, gave authentic details of
wholesale deaths,of British soldiers,
kepi ragged, starving and verminous
V and compelled to work long hours in
C-i-' soft mines and under' fire at the
front, contrary to the rules of The
Hague convention, beaten and tor^
tared and shot for petty or no offenses.
Old parliamentary, reporters say
O ; that they have never seen such a bit;
, ter and strong feeling pervade the
house of commons. And the same
feeling has infected the whole country.
The only group of members who
held aloof was a handful of pacifists,
who appear to object to any unpleasant
words about Germany more than
they object to the war.
The general nature of /the mili- \
tary guarantees which the allies will
.> require has been outlined as the occupation
of strategical German bases,
as well as the retirement of the German
army on its own soil. Mari
time guarantees are considered equally
important to Great Britain, their
nature thus far is only speculative,
but *- the internment of the German
submarines if not the surrender of
the whole fleet appears to be the
minimum terms which would satisfy
the British people. The sea is as
important as the land to this island
" nation, and the only detail in President
Wilson's 14 points on which
there is consent questioning is what
the president means by "freedom of
the seas."
* Sir George said that he held reports
which could not be read to the
- house because of the character of
the atrocities. In one camp since
November, 1916, more than 2,000
prisoners of all nations had died.
Sir George said nine men purposely
drove picks into their feet in order
to get away from a mining camp. In
a salt mine a prisoner was beaten
unconscious and when he regained
his senses, he was beaten unconscious
again. The names of the officers and
superintendents who carried out the
outrages against the prisoners were
known. Reports of what had happened
in factories, the speaker continued,
could not be read without
something more than anger.
Regarding the treatment of British
prisoners behind the firing line, Sir
George said it was as bad as anything
that could be found. Although General
Ludendorff had promised re
dress, his promise had not been ful- Sir George said that in the bad
filled. Men were being marched up 1 treatment of prisoners Turkey had

NOW ARE VERY GRATIFYING.
The Americans overseas with Pershing have facilities for oomhattting
the high oost of living that are absolutely beyond the reach of civilians oa
this side of the Atlantic. Even their small luxuries, such as tobaceo, bis>
cults, cakes and similar articles, are obtainable at prices that are oonstt
erably lower than those charged by retailers in American cities.
This is made possible because the Army and Navy Y. M. C. A, has taken
over all post exchanges In France at the direct request of General Pershing,
so that the Red Triangle is now conducting the greatest business enterprise
in the world.

that Doan's Kidney Plills are a right
good remedy and I am only too glad
to endorse them. One of the first
symptoms of kidney trouble in my
case was sharp, digging pains In the
