Miles

London, Nov 23.-Pitiable conditions
among British prisoners of war who
have been liberated by the Germans
since the signing Of the armistice, are
described by Reuters correspondent at
French headquarters. Thousands of
these men, mostly British, are entering
France daily. The correspondent writes
Il never have seen human beings in
such state of raggedness, hunger and
misery. When the camp at Forbach,
thirty-eight miles east of Metz. as we'll
as those elsewhere, was broken up, the
prisoners, most of whom were captured
during the March offensive, were told to
clear out and seek help from their al
lies. They started TO walk the fifty
or sixty miles TO the allied lines, but
were given no food and had no money
They were in shameful rags, the soles
dropping off their boots. Some wore
clogs and no socks
"They left the prison camps in droves
of hundreds in charge of German Off
GERS and soldiers who had deserted. The
weather was very cold and many died
by the roadside within few miles from
friends When the survivors entered the
French lines, French soldiers who were
hardened war heroes were Mortified to
see men in such plight. It is not
doubted that this suffering was inten.
tionally imposed upon the British. Pris.
oners Of other nationalities are agreed
that the British were treated worse than
the others at all German camps"

"The day was ike midsummer. Many
airplanes turned silver lining to the sun

the crowd. Every wind balcony. roof

whole route. The people on the balconies
had provided themselves with numer-

definitely that the needed relief is in

public service which the hospital per.
formed in caring for large number Of
influenza patients during the epidemic
only served to add to the gravity Of
the situation, as the expenditures during
the epidemic alone far exceeded the in

one rift in the clouds, and at that it was
but slightly discernible Rumors which
could not readily be traced to their
