DESCRIBE TORTURES Gennans Practiced Revolting Cruelties on Prisoners; Thousands of Unfortunates Done' to Death by Atrocious Huns. Fy CAPTAIN r. r. r? RO WE of the British Army (Written rer the United rress.) LONDON. Nov. 27 (By Mail.) The Oermans. apart from the crimes which they have committed in Kelgium and on the high seas, in the late war spelalized. in a particularly revolting form o-' cruelty. The proofs cf their purposeful torture of prisoners, partly to get the utmost work possible out of them and partly, it would seem, simply to destroy life or physique in an enemy, provide a record that would have been incredible before 1114. Thousands of English. French. Italian and Russian prisoners of war liae been deliberately done to death by combination of overwork and starva1 in. BWTIN IN OANOS LIKE SLAVES. Under the fire of their 'f el lew-countrymen's guns, they have been driven in Ksngs lik slaves to lnbo'ir on rhir enemy's defenses. Wl.en hardly able 1 n.ove through weakness, they have h"en beaten or stbh?d with bayonets to ff r-e them to further effort. Une of the German methods with Russian prisoners has been to hang them by their wrists to a stake with their KIDNEY SUFFERERS HAVE FEEING OF SECURITY Ton naturally fee! secure when you kr.w that the medicine you are about "o take if absolutely pure and contains no harmful or habit producing drugs. ouch a medicine is It.

Eventually, insensible, with their wrists terribly lacerated, they are cut down. Even when rope is used to bind them, it would seem the extremity of torture, but according to tne latest accounts wire is often substituted. A Russian prisoner, who recently escaped j from Germany, after b'ing worked for nearly three years behind the German lines in France, gave evidence of this development in his official examination, t The whole of his evidence is interesting, j but much of it may not be reproduced. His powers of observation' and clearness of judgment were such that he had military information to give of more than ordinary value. From this It may be deduced that his perfectly straightforward and unlmpassioned etatements concerning his own treatment and that of other prisoners may also be accepted without reservation. . REPORTED AOAIN AMD AGAIN. There is little in the evidences that, has not been reported again and again except the substitution of wire for rope in 'crucifixion." When this prisoner's party arrived at the western front in 1915 it was one of the first batches to be put to work under fire. At PrM the men refused. A x measure of coercion they were beaten with rifle butts, pricked with bayonets, i and deprived of food. A small number of them, who still remained ohdurate. were at last sent back a distance of 15 kilometers to weave revetments, gabions, etc. At a later stage they were marched forward again, and when they refused to work were once more attacked with rifle butts and bayonets. RODE OVra THEM T7XTH HORSES. Finally they were surrounded by a detachment of cavalry, who pricked them with lancet, struck them with butt ends, and rode over them with their! horses. At last they had to yield. Such treatment .as this was only a small part of their sufferings. In spite i of the excessive work, to which they were driven like cattle, they were given less than the modicum of food reason able for subsistence.. Their total diet ! consisted Of 400 grama of bread per day, turnip and water for dinner, and coffee for breakfast and supper. They were never given meat and never even potatoes. Over-work combined with semi-starvation reduced them to utter feebleness and in appearance to walking skeletons. But toll , was never remitted. BARBAROCS PTTI7XSHMZRT. Tn the case of prisoners refusing to work on the enemy's defences, barbarous. ! punishments were frequently ir.flict'd.j Holes a metre deep were dug and filled : with water and men were made to stand in them for hours. Rut the worst devilry was "crucifixion." The Russian prisoner whose report is here chronicled gives a detailed description of this practice as applied to himself. He had attempted to escape and was caught. As a punishment he was tied to a tree for three hours. His wri;s were twistt high behind his back and bound with thin wire to the tree. Thin wire was then drawn tightly below his knees, the loose root on which he stood was kicked away, and be was left hanging by his wrists". After 3 hours he lost consciousness, was lowered to the ground, and was caned on the fvt until he came to life again. Forthwith he was dragged to the guard-house where he remained in a dark cell for 22 days on bread and water. Only once, on the Hth day. was he allowed to ascend temporarily to the light. On the expiration of his sentence he was rut to work with others. They worked 15
