WARNS BERLIN AGAINST CRUEL
TREATMENT OF PRISONERS.
British Soldiers Are Returning On
Foot, MiserabIy Clothed and
Without Food.

London, Nov. 21.-In any question
of provisioning Germany, the British
government will be obliged to take
into account the conditions under
which British prisoners in Germany
are being released, unless the cruel
treatment which such prisoners are
receiving is discontinued, the German
government was warned in a wireless
message.
The message sent by the British gov
ernment reads:
information reaches his majestys
government of shocking lack Of or
ganization in the release of British
prisoners in German territory and of
their return march on foot miserably
clothed, without food or transport, and
with no escort nor guides to the AL
lied lines, with the result Of lament
able suffering and heavy mortality.
His majesty's government cannot
tolerate continuation of this cruel
treatment and must insist on adequate
arrangement being made in all the
above respects by the German author
tiles with whom the responsibility lies.
7 "Otherwise. we shall be compelled
to take this into account in any ques-
tion of revictualling Germany or sat
isfying the requirements of the Ger
man population.
His majesty's government is ready
to lend all available assistance by for
warding food, clothing and transport
to prisoners camps where they are
not otherwise forthcoming and are ad-
dressing Allied commanders in this
sense"

An interesting fact in naval his

Another fact worthy of mention is
that four of these men commanded
