There is nothing wrong that I could datect in the camp at Soltan, and I should say that the 200 English pri soners there are as well treated as any in Germany. The camp Commandant seems to be a good, fellow. His task of i ruling an great an assemblage of man

Getting at the facts in Germany is almost a dificulta tak as conveying facts out of Germany when you Eboso have got them.

Since the Germans began to find the war going against them since, in partie enlar, the English and French made large captares of Prussian Guards and other corps d'elita soldiery, a number of really excellent camps have been ar ranged to which mentral visitors are taken..

The world does not need reminders sach as that of Wittenberg or of so singularly accurate narratives as several in Blackwood's Magazine to know what has happened to English prisoners in Germany.

It is commen knowledge throughout the German Empire that the most loath some tasks of the war in connexion with every camp or cage are given to the English. Conversations that I have had here in London about your prisoners giva me the impression that the British public does not exactly apprehend what prisoner stands for in German ayes.,
