. London.?Pitable conditions among
^British prisoners liberated by the
Germans since the signing- of the
armistice are described by Router's
'correspondent at French hcadquar*lers.
Thousands of these men, most'.V
British, are entering France daily.
The correspondent writes:
I * "1 have never seen human beings
^uch a state of niggedness, hunger
and misery. When the camp at
Forbach, 88 miles east of Met'/., as
well a.i those elsewhere, wore broken
up the prisoners, most of whom weiv
captured during the March offensive,
were told to clear out and seek
help (rem the!" allies. They star to 1
y'tn walk the 50 or 00 miles to the
Allied lines, but were given no food
and lr-'l no mono" They were in
,.1. r.. i -- ' > "
fiiciiiuMui rags, Lnc soies dropping
off their boots. Some wore clogs
and no socks.
"They left the prisoner camps in
droves of hundreds in charge of G< rman
officers and soldiers who had
Vjdcsorted. The weather was very cold
And many died by the roadside within
a few miles from friends. When
the survivors entered the French
lines French soldiers who were hardened
war horses, were horrified to
see men in such a plight. It is not
doubted that this suffering was intentionally
imposed upon the British.
/Prisoners of other nationalities are
^ agreed that the British wcge treated
worse than the others at all German
camps."
A fllHhor ronnrt nf Wiv
Younger's committee dealing with
* the treatment of British prisoners in
the coal and salt mines of Germany,
'gives harrowing details of brutal
treatment by the Germans. This report
says:
"From testimony scarcely a month
old, it is evident that there is no
sign of improvement whatever in the
treatment of prisoners in Germany.
This disgrace in my opinion is- flagrant
and the only possible inference
is that Berlin deliberately approve.-of
it. There is no doubt that work in
the min.es is inflicted as punishment.
Here i. an abstract from a letter dut
ed May 20 last from a British private
soldier:
" 'We have had little to eat since
we loft Hamelin. Two of our number
have gone to the hospital with
broken arms and the remainder are
suffering from cuts on their heads
and bruises as the-result of floggings
they received at the last place. If
you could only see the hoys here?
they look like dead men. They are
?..worked to death."
"The record of daily nermiscuous
violence might he much further illustrated.
To scores of men who have
given evidence concerning the mining
camps, kicks, blows and insults become
a part of the normal routine."

AUSTRIAN AIR
LOSSES 10 T01
London, Nov. 21.?Official reports
from the British air forces in Italy
show Austrian losses in that theater
in the last six months of the war
were inore than 10 to 1 higher than
the allies.
In this period the British shot down
294 Austrian planes and nine Austrian
balloons and only 24 British
machines were reported missing.
Dilapidated and obsolete German
machines were turned over to the
}
Austrians, and the Austrian pilots
were timid. One Italian pilot who
has just reached London says that it
was not unusual for an allied airman
to travel 40 miles behind the enemy
lines without being attacked once.
