Germany, hearing reports that German officers held

some time since that unless conditions in

OF rePriSals. Nothing Of it and the acts of re-
prisal was committed number of Russian officers
from arstocTatic regiments removed from their
detention quarters put in special punitive camps and
ordered treated without the cOurteses due their rank
Then Russia came to bat. Learning of Germany's
treatment Of Russian officers Russia removed num-
Der of socially prominent German officers from their
detention quarters and placed them in the ordinary sol
der camps. They denied special diet, not
allowed to have orderes and forbidden to send
receive letters parcels The for the treatment
was explained to them and they told they could
have their former comforts restored them when Ger
many reported that Russian sristocrats similarly

not disclosed that either Russia Germany treating
