Berln (via wireless) April 28.- Beyond the sweeping statement that the British attempts to retake lost| territory in Flanders have failed, the! official War Office statement to-day gives no details of the fighting from | the North Sea to Ypres.

' BRITISH PRISONERS "| ny Declares Some Have Been Shot, While Wound- ed Are Insulted and Struck. London, April 28.--War Secretary Kitchener told the House of Lords) yesterday that British prisoners had | been insulted, maltreated and even shot down by their German captors. He made a statement fo the House on this subject in which he spoke in| part as follows: "I bave been forced with relue- | tance to accept as indisputably true the maltreatment by the German | army of British prisoners. The Hague Convention has been flagrantly dis-| regarded by German officers. { . "Our prisoners have been stripped | and maltreated in various ways, and | in some cases the evidence goes to | prove that they have been shot in| cold blood. | "Our officers, even when wounded, | have been wantonly insulted and fre-| quently struck." | Earl Kitchener sald that as a sol- | dier he hitherto had always held of- | ficers of the German army in respect, | but "constant testimony has come in | not only from our own escaped pris- | oners, but from French, Russian, | Belgian and American sources, has | brought it home to all who have] sifted the evidence that the inhu-| manity displayed by the German au- | thorities towards British prisoners, | especially, is beyond doubt." The Secretary quoted articles from! the conventions adopted' 'at the 'Hague relating to the treatment of | prisoners of war and asserted t ey | are disregarded flagrantly by Ger-| man officers. He added: "I think it is only wl | House of Commons. and right that the German hgspitals should be excepted in any charges of deliberate inhumanity. There have been indications of a lamentable lack of medical skill, and, in individual | cases, of neglect and of indifference to suffering on the part of hospital orderlies. On the other hand, there are statements from prisoners who have been released as incapacitated that their experience in the hospitals | did not form any ground for special complaint." Winston Spencer Churchill, First Lord of the. Admiralty, - explained Great Britain's policy in the matter of the treatment of German sailors | captured oh Board submarines in the Answering a question on this subject Mr. Church- ill said: "We cannot admit that the repris- als which Germany has taken against numbers of our officers can be al- lowed to deflect us from a policy which we regard as humane and just in iteelf." The speaker explained that no es- pecial conditions havg' been applied to the crews of German submarines because they fought as such, but only to those engaged in "wantonly { killing non-combatants, neutrals and women on the high seas." The prisoners were treated in a humane manner, he said. "We have allowed a representative of the United Stat 8 to visit these prisoners," he said, "and make a re- port provided reciprocal facilities were accorded us," . CONSCRIPTION MAY BE ENFORCED IN BRITAIN pe (Special to the Whig.) London, April 28,--Even believ- in an early peace seem to have t hope to-day, following the bitter fenunciation of Germany by nearly every prominent member of Parlia- ment.
