GERMANSDES
SICK PRISONERS
Doctors Flee When Typhus Breaks Out Among British
in Wittcnberg Camp Says Government Report
Cruelty and Neglect Charged

London. April German officers
and physicians fed from the Witten-
berg camp when typhus broke out last
year among the British prisoners OF
war confined there, according 20 for
NAL report issued here. based on tes-
timony given by exchanged officers o.
the British army medical corps. The
prisoners were left 70 the care Of Brit
ish doctors. who were sent TO the camp
when the German doctors abandoned
their duty. it is asserted. and three o.
the British medical men gave up their
lives in lighting the epidemic.
The report was issued by the gov
srnment committee or the treatment in
Germany Of British prisoners OF war,
Of which the Hon. Mr.. Justice Younger
is chairman.
The information was received from
repatriated prisoners. especially from
Major Priestley, Captain Vidal and
Captain Lauder. OF the army medical
corps. who were sent 70 the camp soon
after the outbreak Of the epidemic and
who were recently released from Ger
many. These three officers sre the only
survivors Of six British doctors sent
70 the camp by the Germans "to take
up says the report. 'the place Of
duty abandoned by their own medical
staff when the presence OF typhus man
ifested itself"
Records Taken from Doctors.
The records OF the epidemic kept by
the British officers were taken from
them before their departure from Ger
many. The report, however, gives in
detail the condition Of the camp and
the treatment of prisoners and pa
tients. which the American Ambassa-
dor, James " Gerard, in his report
last November said was "eycn more un-
favorable than had been led 20 ex-
pec,."
According 70 the released officers,
there are $4,000, and sometimes more.
prisoners in the camp. which comprised
ten and half acres. There were no
proper heating arrangements and the
men were insufficiently clothed, their
overcoats having been taken from them
and their other clothing being in rags.
Many had neither boots nor socks.
The supply of food vas also insuf-
hcient. even in the hospital, until sup
plies arrived from England.
"The only provision for personal
cleanliness made for the men, says
the report, was one cupful of soft
soap issued a. intervals of many weeks
to a room containing 100. In conse-
ouence the men becam. increasingly
verminous, and that condition, coupled
with cold and want OF proper nour.
ishment. was undoubtedly the principal
inducing cause Of the epidemic"
German STAFF Fled from Camp.
The epidemic broke out in December,
1914. "Thereupon," says the report,
"the German staff. military and medi-
cal. precipitately left the camp. and
until August. 1915. no COM
munication was held between the pris-
oners and their guards except By means
OF directions shouted from the guards
or officers remaining outside the wire

"All supplies for the men were
pushed into the camp over chutes

BerIin's Denial of Sus-
sex Responsibility
Due To-day.
POLITICS NOW
CHIEF FACTOR
President Believed in Posi-
ton to Accept Ger
many's Statement.

Washington, April O. Everything
necessary for a final decision on the
future Of this country's relations with
Germany will be in President Wilson's
hands tomorrow. officials believe to-
| night, with the receipt Of the cate
goricsl denial Of responsibility IN the
Sussex and other cases expected TO
follow the press dispatches from Ber-
lin. The report from Ambassador
Gerard has not Yet arrived. but it "a
pointed out that similar forecasts from
the same source have been correct in
the past. and no one here questions
that Germany has taken this method
OF putting the decision squarely up to
the President.
Political aspects OF the situation re-
ceived even more attention than the
diplomatic in discussion to-day. II Is
realized in Administration circles that
the President has come to a point where
his whole submarine policy IS to be
put to a final test.
In spite OF the gravity OF the pos
sibilitics involved. no one here be-
lieves that there viii be any really
serious consequences. In Administra
tion circles It is insisted that even
break in relations with Germany would
not mean war. or anything more thar
n strain only slightly greater than has
existed for months. Outside those
circles few believe. in view of the rec
ord of the Administration, that even
diplomatic break is likely.
Can Accept Denial.
The President. it il felt. has fully
decided TO stick TO his platform OF
"EIe Kept Is Out of the War The
situation has been so handled that
he can accept the German denial with
perfectly good grace II he wishes TO,
and as he has done in the past. The
fact that it is fat denial, and not
an evasion or an excuse, makes this
easier. while at the same time IL shuts
the door TO further discussion.
Moreover. it is strongly felt in Ad
ministraton circles that the public has
shown little interest in the latest series
of submarine outrages. The loss of
American lives and the utter disregard
Of the rights Of neutrals OF all kinds
charged to Germany have stirred very
little comment anywhere in the coun-
try. The President has again and again
emphasized his desire TO act in response
20 public sentiment in this affair. and
il is held that he is justified in feeling
that there is no public demand for any
change in policy.
One moro consideration enters into
the situation: President Wilson refused
TO make good his "strict accountability"
threat in a case where over a hundred
Americans we're killed. and where Ger
many not only admitted responsibility,
but boasted OF 1.-THE Lusitania case.
Wouldn't we look fine" asked a high
Democratic official to-day. going 70
war now. or even breaking relations,
over half a dozen people killed on
tramp freighters and girl injured on
a ferryboat? Broke her pledge? Tut
tut, Whoever expected Germany 70
keep a pledge since she went into Bel
GUM"

Ration Only 4 Pretence.

"In truth says the committee, re
port, "thc ration vas not a ration a.
all Il was @ preterce.
Four British doctors we're infected
and three died. Il was then that Major
Priestley and Captain Vidal went TO
the hospital TO join Captain Lauder. who
was down with the typhus. Major
Priestley says that the patients. alive
with vermin, lay so close 10 one an
other on the floor that he had 20 stand
straddle-leg across them to examine
them. There were other conditions
that were indescribable. There was
difficulty in obtaining sufficient drugs
and dressings for long time. In sew
eral cases the toes Of the feet became
gangrenous.
The shortage Of necesssries vas not
due to lack Of supplies, say the doctors.
for on a visit to the town they saw an
abundant supply Of every requisite.
Dr. Aschenbach, Who was in charge
of the hospital, and who. the committee
understands, received the Iron Cross
for combating the epidemic, paid only
one visit to the camp. according 10 the
report. and that after some order was
evolved.
