JAPAN HUMANE
TO PRISONERS

Bitter resentment over the charges Of
alleged cruelties 20 prisoners made by
the Russians is felt by the japanese
officials here. Ii is their belief that the
stories are sent out with the deliberate
purpose dlstorting public sentiment, and
are given as much publicity as possible
through Russian agents.
That the japanese have adopted the
most modern methods IN taking care Of
prisoners is shown in a statement re-
ceived al the legation relating 20 the
bureau Of information that has been
established. This bureau particularly
provides for the comfort u prisoners
and by means Of II the friends OF cap
tured Russians are enabled 10 COmmuni-
cate with them.
The bureau was established at Tokyo
February y. Major General IshimOtO,
vice minister Of war, is chief OF II.
II Is provided that the government ran
way shall transport free Of charge all
articles donated 10 prisoners. and that
all donations from abroad 70 prisoners
ahall be exempt from customs duties
and internal revenue taxes.
General lshlmOtO instrucfs all Japan
eee military and naval commanders 70
communicate 20 him whatever informd-
ton IL may be possible 20 obtain con-
corning the prisoners taken. as well os
AL information obtained concerning tht
enemy's dead, and 10 forward such in
formation to him from the seat OF wal
whenever possible.
I'D to the 9Th Of June the number Of
prisoners brought 70 Japan was 6Jl
there being l9 officers and 532 uon-com
rnissiOned officers and privatcs. Tel
officers and 81 Ou-cOmmissiOned ON
GERS and privates were wounded, anS

Three officers and three men belonged
10 the navy. The majority Of the pTls
