ing to C. z. Anderson and Chandler
Hale, special representatives of the
State Department at Washington. who
have been officially inspecting all con-
centration camps of both belligerents.
Our report OF the British camps.
as YOU know, was most favorable"
said Anderson The other side is en-
titled to similar verdict. Indeed,
there is very little difference. IL any,
except in unimportant details. The
governments OF both Germany and Aus
tria extended us every facility for
making the fullest investigation. They
permitted us to talk to prisoners pri-
vately to learn II there were any COM
plants.
In the military camp at Doberits
we found about 5000 British and
French and some Belgians. separated
according to nationality.
All were provided with warm cloth
ing, blankets. good food and sufficient
work to keep them healthy. Up to
the present, they have been sleeping
in excellent tents. but buildings are be-
ling erected for the winter.
PRISONERS SEEM SATISFIED
WITH THEIR TREATMENT
Each will accommodate twenty
men, and be heated, and warm water
Will be supplied for bathing. All the
prisoners seem satisfied with their
treatment. Not n single complaint
was made by the soldiers. Four
thousand civilian cnptives, interned at
Rohleben, also near Berlin. are equally
we'll cared for, their only complaint
being the separation from their fam
lilies. though these are allowed to visit
them on certain days.
Much the same conditions prevail
In tho prison camps outside OF Vienna
No real criticism can be made of any
of, them, though there ia a general i'm
preston throughout both the Tcutonic
empires that civilian prisoners nre
neglected and unfairly treated In Eng
land. All reports of reprisals. however,
are unfounded. We endcnvored TO re-
move this impression by publishing in
all German papers our report on the
British campaign, and believe 1t had
some effect. At the same time, we
propose to make Sure by paying an
other visit of inspection TO civilian
camps here next week and sending u
special report of the results TO the
German and Austrian government. AS
TO other Investigations, we are not per-
mttted to speak, except to say TINT the
end of the war is long way off,"

We can only give part of this
eloquent speech; but we believe
we have said enough for our read
ers to get at least some idea about
this conflict of which we are ignor-
ant. These statements have come
from one who was somewhat in the
fray, and we have tried in our
humble way to repeat some of
them as they have come to our
mind.
We extend our heartfelt thanks
to Mr.. Hill and assure him that
we have never before spent a more
