TELLS HOW GERMANS
SPAT UPON PRISONERS
Boston Man Says 10000 Brit
ish Soldiers Were Horribly
Mistreated Until Recently.
Special Cable DespotcA TO Tps suy.

LONDON. Oct. 15.-One day the world
will be Hooded with dramatic. horrible
and romantic narratives OF the III treat
ment OF British prisoners In Germany in
the early days Of the war. says d.
Thomas Curtin OF Boston to-day, con-
tinuing his articles on wartime Germany
In the Times.
Mr.. Curtin. who claims to be the only
unofficial neutral who has any large
amount Of direct knowledge " Ger
many's treatment OF these prisoners,
says his Investigations were facilitated
by the German policy Of showing their
hatred Of their English captives
Possibly 10000 British prisoners are
scattered In COO camps he writes. I'm
the present depleted state Of the Ger
man army II Is not easy to fnd efficient
guards for so many establishments. The
prisoners are constantly being moved
about and conveyed ostcntatiously In
railroad stations, where until recently
they were allowed to be spat upon by
the public, and given coffee into which
the public was allowed to spit. These
are but a few OF the sights heaped
upon them. Much Of 1t IL unprintable."
Mr.. Curtin says he has learned that
since the Somme Offensive began there
has been a marked Improvement In the
treatment Of British prisoners every
where In Germany. This Ia because the
captures Of Germans make possible re-
prisals on a large scale. Moreover. he
says. much good work has been done by
the stan OF Ambassador Gerard, many
OF whom work as sed ulousiy In behalf
OF the British as II they were Americans.

Both British and French troops cut
the railroad south Of Sores. The French
statement says "a French squadron ac-
complished this. while the British state
ment from London says ION the railway

tact with hostile forces"
BY cutting the railroad first north,
then south OF Sores. the Allies have
completely isolated the WI from rail
communication with Demir- Hissar and
Drama, the other towns held by the In
vaders. Apparently the road that runs
parallel to the railroad. but beyond II.

To-day's British statement announces
that British suns have shelled the Sores
railroad station. a short distance from,
the town hself, n the villages OF
HirAtos and Barakli-Juma. near Sores.
This Is evidently In preparation for the
