CRUELTY TO BRITISH, German Prison Guards Single Them Out for Appalling Brutality: ROME, Dec. 15.—A French priest, who has returned from Minden, where a number of British prisoners were confined, has given a friend of mine an appalling account of cruel- ties practiced upon our captured countrymen by their German jailers. While the French prisoners were very well treated and the Russians were not so bady, the British were singled out for ill-treatment. "German sol- diers," said the French priest, "kick the British prisoners in the stomach and break guns over their backs. They force them to sleep out in marshy places, so that many are now consumptive. The British are al- most starved, and such have been their tortures that thirty of them have asked to be shot."
