GERMANS STARVE, BEAT,
KILL BRITISH PRISONERS
Also Force Others to Work Under Shell
Fire-French Served in Similar
Cruel Fashion.

London. April l3.-How British pris-
oners of war in Germany are enslaved,
starved and subjected TO untold cruelties
is related in an official report of a gov
ernment committee made public yester
day The detention and the employment
OF non commissioned officers and men
captured on the western front, says the
report, have brought on these prisoners
an amount of unjustifiable suffering for
which it would be hard to find parallel
in history" The report shows that pris-
oners have been employed constantly un.
der shell fire and that many have been
killed by British guns; that they have
been kicked and beaten, denied clothing
and adequate shelter that they have
often been shot, and that deaths from
starvation and overwork have been con
slant. French prisoners have been sub,
jected to the same treatment, Some of
the prisoners received neither letters nor
parcels for eight or nine months. Last
November there were in the Limburg
station between $4,000 and 10000 un
delivered parcels for British prisoners.

Gradually the world is exploring the Teuton horror.

 "In 1911 Germany spent 669,S36,57S marks on the volksschulen, an average of 65 marks per pupil; on the middle schools, 90, 56e,591 marks, or 112 marks per pupil; on the higher schools, 177,- 15S.697 marks, or PAS marks per pupil. Thus nearly one-quarter of the total school expenditure was devoted to training less than 10 per cent of all German children. These children were the favored ones who had succeeded in getting into the middle and upper schools.
 "The supreme test of German school ing lies not in material wealth and commercial supremacy, but in ways greater than these. Ancient Rome dominated the world through unity and frightfulness, but in those days it was a slave world and a world of illiterates. Tenton unity and frightfulness is deal
