ANSWERS GERARD'S
PRISON CRITICISMS s
Prussian War Minister Replies to
Statements Made About Camps
by ENJOYS.
DISTORTED BY ENGLISH PRESS

BERLIN (Via London, Feb. 81.
The Prussian war minister today
handed to James w. Gerard, the
American ambassador to Germany, a
long communication, in which courte-
Gus reply is made to the ambassa-
doris report OF November 8, regard
ing the wittenberg prison camp.
German high military authorities
were astonished. the reply says, when
they saw portions of the ambassa-
doris report printed in distorted form
ir the English papers. It declares
that Mr.. Gerard had communicated
his criticisms to the Prussian war
ministry through John B. jackson,
who investigated prison camp condi-
tions for the embassy.
Mr.. Gerard. 1t Is said. received as
surance that the conditions criticised
would be remedied, whereupon Mr..
Jackson said he was convinced the
ambassador would be satisfied with
this promise.
Not Received by Commander.
The communication refers to Mr..
Gerard's statement, which was "obvi-
ously made in reproachful sense" that
when he visited the wittenburg camp he
was not received by the camp COM
mander.
The German military authorities are
fully aware Of the consideration due the
ambassador because OF his position" the
reply says. adding the explanation that
the commander OF the camp was COM
PEELED by military duties TO be absent on
the day of the visit OF the ambassador.
The communication points out that Mr..
Gerard reported the accommodations and
fare OF the prisoners were the same as
those in other camps. English press re-
ports, based on the ambassadors alleged
statements. reported conditions at wit
tenberg as extraordinarily unsatisfac-
tory.
IL is admitted that police dogs are used
at Wittenberg. but II Is said they are
employed for guard duty at night and
