German Embassy Gives Out Story of • Alleged Negro Atrocities jCommitted Against Teutons. Washington, Oct.' 23.—The German embassy has received the following by wireless: “The Roman paper Tribuna publishes an interview with an Italian deputy Just returned from France, who expresses his admiration for the Indian troops he saw at Marseilles. The Senegal troops made the best impression, he says, although they were so bloodthirsty that the French army command was often prevented from sending them to the front. These negro foyces often killed, without the knowledge of their officers, German prisoners, and he sayß that once these Senegalese murdered all the German war prisoners in a railway transport.”
