 WHILE YET ALIVE
New Barbarities of German CaptOrs Being Told By Returning British Prisoner.

London, Nov. 29.--(British Wireless Service. )-An official statement .s- sued today says that since the armis- tice was signed, 444' British officers and S,350 men of other ranks, form er prisoners, have arrived at Hull from Holland and Germany, 5 ofic- CTS and S,216 men of other ranks at Dover and 800 at London.
 The statement says the protest of the British government with regard to the i'll treatment of British pri- sOners has been communicated to the German government, and that the German authorities replied that the German high command was doing all in it's power to deliver prisoners in good condition, but that the severity of the armistice conditions presented difficulties.
 The German high command later was informed that no excuses would be accepted by the British govern ment and that full recompense would be enacted for any unnecessary sui ferings of British prisoners of war. To this the Germans replied that they would do their utmost to allevi- ate the conditions of prisoners.
 One sergeant who had been prison CT for seven months, spoke bitterly of an enforced march after his cap- ture. For four days, he said, the prisoners had virtually no solid food and when they arrived at camp they. were put to work burying men who had died from starvation. In one week fifteen out of one hundred died. No pity or leniency was shown to men who were unable to work thru sickness. Only blows and usual puni- shments of half rations were given them.
 A non-commissioned officer of the Royal Army Medical Corps said that the worst sight he saw was near Soissons. He was working in a hos pital where English prisoners were suffering badly from dysentry.W still alive man was put into a cof- fin and some German soldiers were preparing to nail the lid of the cor- fin down.
 q protested" said the officer, "that the man was not dead, but I was laughed at and pushed to one side. The Germans proceeded with their gruesome task and afterward inform ed me that they had nailed the lid down with four and six inch nails" :"
 Another man, who said he had been captured eight months ago, describ- ed the murder of an officer in a prison camp near the Aisne.
 "ln the camp one day. he said, "I saw a British officer being bullied by a German sentry The German soldier was demanding the officers boots, but the officer refused to part with them. After little further ar gumant, the German soldier shot the officer and took the boots iron, him as he lay dying on the ground"
