MUST TREAT PRISONERS WELL
National Codes of Honor Lay Down
Conditions Under Which They Are
Held in Captivity.

In ancient times prisoners of war
were killed, unless, cf course, the bel
ligerents found it more profitable to
exchange or liberate them for ran
som. But today nations are bound to
one another by a code of honor which
forbids inhuman treatment of prison
erS.
Prisoners are subjected to no pun
ishment in any form, neithe must
they be placed in a convict prison,
although they, may be detained in a
fortress, camp or town. A reasonable
supply of nourishment must be pro-
vided them by their captors, and they
are regarded as being in the power of
the government of the captor, and not
under the control of those who actual
ly capture them.
Ali personal belongings remain in
the custody of the prisoner, but arms,
horses and military papers can be con-
fiscated, these constituting booty
Governments can put their prisoners
of war to work. but only such work
as accords with the prisoners rank
and capacity. Also the work must not
be excessive or relate to military mat
tiers, and in all cases must the labor
be paid for.
A prisoner always lives in hope of
being exchanged for a prisoner of his
own government The exchange is eff
fected in accordance with agreements
in whichstime, place and method of ex-
change are fully detailed. This is gen.
orally that of strict equivalents, man
for man, rank for rank, disability for
disability.
An officer can obtain greater free
dom of movement or certain privileges
while being a prisoner of war If he
makes out parole, a written or verbal
promise. Ar officer giving his parole
pledges his honor to refrain from a
particular course of conduct, and If he
makes a breach of this guaranty he
is liable to the extreme penalty.
