WAR PRS ONERS WE'LL
TREATED IE BRITAIN

LoudCu---Admissio that the treat
ment Of German war prisoners in
Great Britain was superior to the
tfea Unent received in any other coUn-
try was made by the chief German
delegate no the recent conference of
British ana Germans on war prison
ers, according 70 . statement made by
Baron Newton, one Of 1he British del
egates in The house cf commons
virtually no complaint was made Of
the British methods Of dealing with
war prisoners. Lord Newton added
One impression he derived from his
intercourse with the delegates was
that, in spite OF the German powers OF
Capitalization. Berlin headquarters did
not know a great deal Of what went
on That impression. he said. more or
less confirmed what James ". Gerard.
the late American ambassador at Eer-
lin, used 10 tell him. that there was
less Capitalization than was supposed
and that the control at Berlin over
prisoners Of war was nothing like so
effective as in this country He had
strong suspicion that a great deal
went on in various German camps
Of which the central German admins
tTation knew little
As they had twenty times as many
prisoners As the British had, it would
be surprising, he said, # they did know
all that went on
