Germans Deny Cruelty to U. S. War Prisoners

AMSTERDAM, June 17. American war prisoners are not being ill treated in Germany, says a dispatch telegraphed to Amsterdam by the semiofficial Wolf Bureau of Berlin. The prisoners, it is declared, are not used as show objects to the German public and are not subjected to insults and the throwing of stones, which is foreign to the calm tempered 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 " on a scale corresponding to the present conditions in Germany" is not lacking in the camps where American prisoners are quartered.
