To Sir Walter's statement that the Germans on the whole treat their prisoners pris-oners decently, the Evening Standard replies re-plies by publishing a letter from an English En-glish officer prisoner now in Holland. "Thanks to the Huns' devilish brutality, brutal-ity, hundreds of thousands of their prisoners pris-oners have died," the officer says, "and hundreds more are broken bodily and physically for life. It shows the nature of the Germans when they can see this going on and not stop it. "The civilian camps are more or less hells. 1 remember at the beginning of this year the Germans brought a lot of women of good family from the occupied districts dis-tricts of France aa a reprisal. They put them in the civil camp at Holjn'mun-den Holjn'mun-den amonyst women alreariv ruined bv them and then gave them the option of starvation or submis-sion."
