Few American Prisoners

Amsterdam. June 17.-American
war prisoners are not being ILL
treated in Germany, says a dispatch
telegraphed to Amsterdam by the
semi-official Wolff Bureau of Berlin.
The prisoners, it is declared, are
not used as show objects to the Ger

insults and the throwing of stones
which is foreign to the oalm-tem-
pered German mind. which does not
excite itself anyhow over a few
Americans in the midst of so many
thousands of war prisoners of all
nationalities."
Adequate food ION a scale cor
responding to the present conditions
in Germany" is not lacking in the
camps where American prisoners
are quartered, the dispatch says.
