Unless these requirements are ac-
copied within four weeks the British

the Allied governments, such meas
ures to treat prisoners of war in &C
cordance with the rules of interna.
tional law.
Steps also are being taken to secure
better treatment Of prisoners in Turk

and unconditional return of British
prisoners would be required.
Great Britain demands the immedi

(about 1872 miles, behind the firing
! line, proper and humane treatment OF
prisoners in German occupied terri
