CANADIAN PRISONERS ABUSED IN GERMANY London despatchea on Sunday said: t rejoicing young Canadians were inc uded in a party of exchanged wounded who arrived here three days go, The names are: Private M.

Clarke, Calgary, 10th; D'Arcy Latimer, Ottawa Dis- trict, 2nd; He y James, Verdun, Montreal, 13th ; red Higgins, eastern Ontario, 29th; Arthur Ward, Moose Jaw, 5th; and Jack Mackey, believed to belong to the 19th. Eight Exohpngod Victims Deocrlbo Prison Conditionoâ€"F‘ood Bad, Medical Treatment Nll With the exception, in the case of Vernon Hughes, all of them were wounded and made prisoners in the second battle of Ypres. They make the most bitter complaints about the supply and quality of the food and against the medical treatment in prison camps. “We should have starv- ed long ago,” they say, “had it not been for the parcels received from the Canadian Red Cross. When we asked for more the Commander would tell us Britain was entirely respon- sible because they refused to allow the supply to come into Germany. The Awful Menu Two men who came from Minden Camp said that there was occasionally a variation in the menu, but there the usual rations were a cup of so-called coffee and a lump of brown bread for breakfast, horse beans and some vege- table; a mixture of four potatoes and gravy made with powder for dinner, with a piece of horse flesh thrown in once or twice a week, while in the evening they have raw herrings and tea and what they had left was served out to them in the morning. Canadians and British soldiers have consistently refused to work for the enemy in munitions factories and mines. One Canadian, Harry Ho- garth, a well known athlete, is under- going a second term of imprisonment for refusing to do any kind of work for the Germans. He refuses even the salute of the commanding and camp officers. and when any of them speak to him he turns his head the other way in disgust. :‘:~".':::>( :10 Change of bandages or (irr'v'i‘lg of any kind. henry 3:1 mes, Montreal, said: “I had no sooner reached Paderborn Camp than they stole my two gold rings 9.21;: much.

Clarke of Calgary, who was at Senelager said they had one meal a. day for several weeks and that con- sisted of rye bread and soup. Both Clarke, who has a leg taken off just below the knee, and Heagles, whose hip had been blown off. complain very bitterly against the hospital treat- me at.

Swift Advance Bncircles . don despatches on Monday said: * semi-circle formed by the Bus- Iiln army chain in Galicia from Brody to Stanislaw has been drawn 10 miles closer to Lemberg during the last 24 hours. The Muscovite forces drove the Teuton defenders from the great- er part of their positions on the four great streams which formed the main natural obstacles on the road to Lem- berg from the southeast: the Sereth, Strips, Koropiec and Zlota Lipa. Fighting desperate rearguard actions, the Austro-German troops are rapidly retreating on the Whole front. As a. result of yesterday’s and to-day’s fight- ing the two southern “gates" of Lem- ‘oerg, Halicz and Brzenair. are now in the range of the Russian; artillery. Meanwhile the Russian lei: Wing, fitting in conjunction with Lrtchitzky, resumed its drive against th" Teuton Carpathian forces and captured Re- iaytn, their main base, according to afiicial admission to-night. Simul- taneously the Russians scored farther headway in the northeaSt of the Crown land in the Sereth Valley. capturing two fortified positions. The Galician capital is now threatened by the Rus- aian Sereth army, less than fifty miles away. and by Letchitzky's forces now bombarding Halicz, siXty miles to the south.
