LESS TUBERCULOSIS.
Is Found Among Prisoners in the Scores
of German Prison Camps.

Berlin, March 2.-Exact figures regard
ing the number and percentage of tuber-
culosis prisoners of war in the scores
of German camps have been collected as
result of the charges, widely circu-
lated abroad, that prisoners are inten-
tionally infected with this disease. The
figures show that the French suffer most
.of all from tuberculosis, but that the
disease on the whole is on the wsne.
In the first year of the war there
were discovered in German camps 3,542
tuberculosis Frenchmen, or two per cent
of the number of prisoners; in the Sec
ond year there were 1904, or 0.75 per
cent. In those two years there were
transferred to Switzerland 1892 Bel
gians, 1852 Englishmen, 1916 French
men. Suffering from tuberculosis among
this number, there were l20 Belgians,
"a Englishmen and 900 Frenchmen. There
died later of the the disease in Switzer-
land two Belgians, Al Frenchmen, and
no Englishmen.
Conditions in the camps were suffi-
GENTLY excellent so that the increase in
tuberculosis from the beginning of the
war until the end of July, 1915, re-
manned behind that of the civil popula-
ton of Europe.
