GERMANS CRUEL
TOPRISONERS OF
WAR, SAYS GERARD
Small Boys Shoot Nail-Tipped
Arrows at the Helpless
Soldiers
TRAIN DOGS TO BITE
Condemn Men to Death by
Forcing Them in Typhus
Camp
By Associated Press

New York, April 10. British
charges of cruel treatment received by
war prisoners in Germany are con-
firmed by James w. Gerard. For the
first time since his return from Ger
many the former American ambassa-
dor at the dinner of the Canadian club
last night, told some of the things he
had seen on visits to the German pri-
son camps in the capacity of official
representative of the British and Can
adian governments.
II have seen small boys" said Mr.
Gerard, with German simplicity and
Kindness, march about the prison
camps armed with bows and arrows
and shoot arrows tipped with nails
at the prisoners At another camp
! visited they had trained German
sheep dogs to bite British, and when
the guards went through the camp
! they took the trained dogs with them
and 1t was seldom that they failed to
J bite British soldiers" The command
ant of this camp was removed, after
long delay, upon complaint sof Mr..
Gerard.
Shame Decent Acts
Another time there was typhus
| fever in camp where Russians were
! interned. Saying that all the allies
should stick together the Germans
placed English and French prisoners
with the Russians in the typhus
camp, thus condemning numbers of
them to certain DEATH"
AS the climax of this story Mr..
Gerard told how the inhabitants of
northern German town were inn
prisoned and held up to shame be-
cause they had given food and drink
to a trainload of Canadian war pris-
oners who were starving and half
dead with thirst.
