SCORE GERMAN
PRISON CAMPS
Treatment of English Pris-
oners Attacked.
Speakers in Parliament Say
Hospitals Much
Better.

LONDON, April ~, " p. m. THE
British Parliament occupied itself
solely to-day with discussions on the
treatment of British prisoners Of war
in Germany. In both the House Of
Lords and the House of Commons
gratitude was expressed for the ef-
forts that have been made by the
United States to ameliorate the con-
ditions of the prisoners.
Lord Kitchener's speech in the
House of Lords, in which, as q SOL
der, he said he lamented what he
was convicted was German inhumau-
ity towards British soldiers. was the
most notable expression of the day.
There were, however, equally strik-
ing notes in both houses, notably BY
Lord Lansdowne, leader of the OPP
position, and Lord Cromer, who ex-
pressed regret in the House Of Lords
that the British Admiralty had seen
fit to segregate captured German
submarine crews and by Premier
AsQuith in the House, who learned
thatsat the end of the war the Brit
ish people would expect reparation.
No definite course of action con-
corning the treatment of prisoners
was agreed on by either house.
America Praised.
In the House of Commons, Neil
Primrose said that American Off
Gals already had visited sixteen pris-
oner camps in Germany and that the
reports thus far received had shown
improvement in the treatment that
was being accorded the British pris-
oners held in them.
Lord Kitchener made statement
to the House on this subject. IN
which he said in part. $50 r
ct have been forced with reluctance
to accept as indisputably true the
mal-treatment by the German army
of British prisoners. The Hague
Convention has been fiagrantly dis
regarded by German officers. Our
prisoners in various ways and in
some cases the evidence goes to prove
that they have been shot in cold
blood. Our officers even when
wounded, have been wantonly insult
ed and frequently struck" ..,...,
Earl Kitchener said that as a SOL
dier he hitherto had always held ON
GERS of the German army in respect.
but constant testimony that has
come in, not only from our own es-
capped prisoners. but from French,
Russian. Belgian and American
sources, has brought, it home toaali
who have sifted the evidence that the
displayed by the German
authorities, toward British prison
ers especially. is beyond doubt"
The secretary quoted articles from
the conventions adopted at The
Hague relating to the treatment of
prisoners of war and asserted that
they had been disregarded fiagrantly
by German officers. He added:
81 think 1t only fair and right
to say that the German hospitals
should be excepted in any charges
of deliberate inhumanity. There
have been indications Of lamenta-
BILE lack of medical skill and. In indi-
vidual cases. of neglect and Of indif-
ference to suffering on the part OF
hospital orderlies. On the other
hand. there are statements from pris-
oners who have been released as in
and that their exper-
ience In the hospitals did not form
any ground for special complaint.
