Britain Refuses
Concession To
Huns In China

London, Oct. 1.-THE German
government has communicated to
the British government through Hol-
land it's decision not to ratify the
Anglo German agreement for an
exchange OF prisoners unless guar
antees are given against the deporta-
ton and internment of Germans in
China. The British government has
informed Germany that 1t cannot
concede this point, but is prepared
to ratify the agreeent subject to the
withdrawal Of this condition.
Great Britain is determined to take
drastic steps to bring the maltreat
ment Of British war prisoners to an
end, and accordingly has demanded
that Germany redress the grievances
forthwith.
Unless these requirements are ac-
cepted within four weeks the Brit
ish government will take, in concert
with the allied governments, such
measures to treat prisoners of war
in accordance with the rules of in
ternationaI law.

out, the Allies of necessity will. Mr..
