GERMANY MILDLY.
SLABS GERARD
Prussian War Minister Re-
plies to Diplomats Crit
cism of Prison Camps.

Berlin, Germany, Feb. 26.-The
Prussian war minister has handed to
Jas. W. Gerard, the American ambas-
sador to Germany, a long communi-
cation in which courteous reply is
made to the ambassadors report of
New. 8, regarding the Wiltenberg prison
camp.
German high military authorities
were astonished, the reply says, when
they saw portions Of the ambassadors
report printed in distorted fashion in
the English press. 1t declared that
Mr. Gerard had communicated his crit
icism to the Prussian war minister
through John B. jackson, who investi-
gated prison camp conditions for the
embassy. Mr.. Gerard. il Is said. re-
ceived assurance that the conditions
criticised would be remedied.
The communication refers 20 Mr..
Gerard's statement which was OBJ
viously made in a reproachful sense"
that when he visited the Wiltenberg
camp he was not received by the camp
commander.
THE German military authorities are
fully aware of the courtesy due the
ambassador because Of his position"
the reDly says, adding the explanation
that the commander of the camp was
compelled by military duties to be alb
sent on the day OF the visit Of the am
bassador
The communication points out that
MI Gerard reports the accommodations
and fare of the prisoners were the
same as those in other camps English
paper reports, allegedly based on the
ambassadors statement, represented
conditions at Wiltenberg as "extraor-
dinarily unsatisfactory.
