CRUELTY FOR AMERICANS.
Germany to Deny Prisoners the
 Courtesies of War.

With American Army in France, Dec. 29. Fresh proof of the bent of the German mind toward war atroc- ities against Americans came today.
 Reliable information in the American zone was that Germany intends to treat American prisoners as men of no intelligence and per- sons not entitled to the ordinary eourtesies accorded prisoners of war
 Presumably it is the intention to employ American war prisoners in low forms of labor, and to treat them in the same horrible fashion that Germany has always treated her Russian prisoners.
 The condition of Russians in Ger man war camps has been 80 wretch ed as to arouse even neutral nations to protest. They were held on the same level as beasts and compelled to live ir surroundings which even self respecting animals would abhor.
 Several thousand German sailors and civilians held in prison camps at Fort 0glethorpe, Ga.. and Fort Douglass Utah, are being treated with all the courtesies of war. They have every comfort that can be pro- vided, being housed in war bar racks formerly occupied by the sol- diers; are fed all they can eat of American army fare, which is bet ter than any other soldier in the world gets, and have very little work to do beyond keeping their quarters clean.
 In the case of the officers from German warships, the same pay IS given them that is given to Ameri- can officers of similar rank, and this same pay will be given to all German officers captured by Ameri- can troops. Enlisted men. by the rules of The Hague convention, may be required to work, if able bodied, but must be paid, and are entitled to food, clothing and quar- ters equal to those of the soldiers of the captor country. They may not be treated as criminals or kept in close confinement, neither may they be placed at degraGins lalior.
