BRUTALITY OF HUNS AGAIN
DESCRIBED BY ENGLlSHMAN
Treatment OF Prisoners Declared to To
Tcrribie--Womcn Given Choice OF
Starvation or Degradation.


LONDON. August 10.-Sir Walter Rn-
leigh. who said England should tell tho
good as we'll as the bad things about
the Germans. and thereby brought
down storm OF protest and pointed
comparison with another Sir Walter.
has caused the publication OF several
new accounts OF German prison camp
atrocities.
To Sir Walters statement that tho
Germans on the whole treat their pr!s
oners decently. the Evening Standard
replies by publishing Il letter from an
English officer prisoner now In Hol-
land.
Thanks to the Huns deviIish bru-
tally, hundreds of thousands OF their
prisoners have died" the officer says,
"ani hundreds more are broken bodily
and physically for life. 1t shows tho
nature Of the Germans when they can
see this going on and not stop It.
The civilian camps are more or less
I.ells. l remember at tn cbeg;nning OF
this year the Germans brought n lot
OF women OF good family from the oc-
cupicd districts of France as reprisaI.
They put them in the civil camp at
Ifolzumunden amongst women already
ruined by them, and then gave them
the option Of starvation or submission"

ever made, for Sullivan was hogfat
and practically refused TO do any train
ing at all He was so confldent Of his
own ability that he viewed challengers
with absolute disdain.
Wilson trained faithfully and was IN
excellent condition when he stepped
into the ring for the match.
The visiting pugilist gave little OF his
time TO actually lighting his cayeman
antagonist. On the contrary he de-
voted his efforts entirely TO avoiding
Sulliyans blows or taking them In such
a manner that he would not be beaten
unconscious. In the FIRST roun1 he was
either knocked down or thrown 10 tho
floor by Sullivan eleven times. Several
times be deliberately hit the floor and

some blows Of his own 20 Sulivau's :
stomach and the champion was In acute
distress. His stomach was so weak from
the effects Of the drinks he had poured
into it that it couldn't stand Wilson s
hammering
In the second round Wilson hit the
noor eight time, and the procedure was
constant during the remainder Of the
nght. The conditions OF the contest,
however, were Interchangeable. and Sui
livan, conqueror Of Paddy Ryan, had TO
listen to the refeee declare Wilson tho
winner. As a matter Of fact, Wilson
was actually the fresher Of the two,
for sullivan was decidedly a sick man
when he reached his dressing room.
