TELL OF GERMAN BRUTALITY
Toronton Highlanders Tell of Horrors
of Prison Camp.


Toronto.-First hand reports of
brutalities practiced and conditions
in German prison camps, particularly
at Gottingen, Hanover, were given
here Monday by Corporal Alexander
Yetman and Allen Macdonald, Toronto
Highlanders, who were captured at
st. Julien in April, 1915. They were
prisoners in Germany 19 months, but
when they became i'll because of star
vation they were returned home
through Switzerland.
Describing life of prisoners in camp
Corporal Yetman said:
I'VE were often hit, punished and
called pigs and swine. Now and then
we could walk to town if we liked,
but they made us walk in the middle
of the road, for we could not walk
on the sidewalk beside the Germans,
and they jeered at us and called us
vile names.

of water a German Red Cross nurse
would knock it out of your hand and
throw the cup on the ground"
