BARON NEWTON MAKES STATEMENT BEFORE
 HOUSE OF COMMONS
Says treatment of War Prisoners Superior in the British Camps
 to the Berlin Camps

LONDON, Aug.-(Correspondence of Associated Press)-Admissio that the treatment. of German war prison CTS in Great Britain was superior to the treatment received in any other country was made by the chief Gei man delegate to the recent conference of British and German war prisoners according to a statement made bt Baron Newton, one of the British de egates, in the House of 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 centralization, Berlin headquarters did not know great deal of what went on. That impression, he said, more or less confirmed what James w. Gerard, the late American Ambassa- dor at Berlin, used to tell him, that there was less centralization than was supposed and that the control at Der. lin 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 admin istration knew little.
 As they had twenty times as many prisoners as the British had, it would be surprising, he said, if they did know all that went on.

GERMAN CHANCELLOR INTRODUCED MILITARY
 TRAINING IN JAPAN
tA5SC fQted Pre.ssl

TOKYO, Aug. 2S.-Dr. George Mich aelis, the recently appointed Imperial Chancellor of Germany, was the man who introduced into the Japanese school system the idea of military training that every Japanese school boy of to-day goes through. He was then teacher in the German school in Kanda, Tokyo
 Thirty years ago Dr. Michaelis came out to Japan as a young man to be- come principal of the German school, which was supported by the German society of Japan. Among his students were boys who have become promin- ent in the public life of this country. including K. Arimatsu, director ef ths Bureau of Legislation ia the present Cabinet and personal advisor to Count Terauchi, and Professor Mukai, for. mer member of the faculty of Keio Un- ! iyersity.
 Professor Mukai giving reminisc- ences of Dr. Michaelis, said iu an in- terview: He came te Japan, if I re- member rightly, in 1885. He was rath- CT young and unmarried. He came out through the influence of either Prince Ito or Viscount Aoki, both since dead. He taught law and political economy. As he was still young it seems to me that his knowledge was not deep, but he was Spiritual and looked a man of steady character.
 He was very popular with his stu dents, who liked to attend his lec- lures. He came first on a contract of three years, but the contract was prolonged by two more years at the desire of the school authorities. He was the man who first introduced into his school a system of military drill for the boys, and this is now univer- sally practiced at every school for boys in this country He was very fond of exercise and often took part in games with his students. He was short, yet strong. He was very fast runner and could beat any of his stu. dents easily, but when he was run ming race with his students he never outran them, but always allowed one or two to finish ahead of him so as to encourage the boys"
