'Wireless) Correspondents "of British
.' newspapers, who entered Lille with the
V allies, have received revolting- details
' of the treatment to which British prison
' on of wsr have bee subjected.
, V t The Rev. Mr, Moore, Brltlah chaplain
ln Lille. .says:
' "There were momenta when I thought
my mind was oins when I saw the
suffering of our men who were slowly
' starred tn Lille and I would awake In
; ' the morning and thank Qod that X was
still sane. ,
I "All the Britten prisoners (at one time
there wers 2000 of them concentrated
here) wers kept without food for three
days sod nights after their capture, de
i' Uberaielv to break their spirit. .
i "German authorities at first would
not permit me even to bury British dead.
t "X have seen famished men raking
through piles of rubbish tn the streets
' of Lille, picking out nits or cabbage
' - leaves and other refuse."
; I British correspoadests also have re-
eslved authoritative information con-X-
cernlnf the treatment of women tn Lille
i.The correspondent of the Manchester
Ouardian wrote:
i "Just after Easter, till. 000 young
women of Lille were forcibly seised and
' sent away to work tn fields hundreds of
relies from their homes.
t "Different quarters In town were
chosen for this conscription of girls.
- and machine guns were posted at each
emd of the streets. Families were or-
tiered, to rather in the doorways. Oer
man officers then made an arbitrary
V choice, saying to one girl. Tou," and
i v to another. "Tou." and then ordering the
men to take them.
I "Some of the girls were dragged out
Of their bads and carried screaming
away. There were girls in all conditions
Of life. It was to be a life of misery
and horror to any girl of decent in
Stincts.
"One of them, who was taken and
' spent six months in this forced labor,
told me that she had no change of linen
'. In that time and slept on a truss of
. Straw in an old barn.
Cannot Torflv Cruelties
, "Twelve days later. J2.000 men and
boys were sent away, farther into Ger
many, so that their labor should not
be given us."
, j- "5ie Times correspondent. In his ac-
: - count ox me ireauneni 01 uiiie women
say:
'After their selection, all the women
(were assembled at the station and there,
herded together, they -war 'Intimately
examined by German army doctor to see
If they were In good health snd un
diseased. There seemed no detail which
could have made the whole thing vile
and repellent to every civilised Instinct
Which was omitted.
"It was the Sixtieth regiment of Qer
man Infantry which carried out the
hideous work in Lille, and to do some of
them Justice, some of my informants
told me of seeing men in the streets the
next day haggard and almost sick with
the horrors of their preceding night';

"Two officers are said to have been
punished for refusing to do their part.

trla and of Hungary. This right of self
determination insures two kinds; of
changes. One . fraction or the subject
races will seek to join with the major
portions; of their respective races out
side thedual monarchy f the other will
seek absolute Independence based upon
the complete unification of their race,
which is now a portion of, the Austro
Hungarian empire. - .
Many Baee Seek Liberation
The races which desire to -join their
kinsmen outside the . Hapeburg empire
are the Poles of Galtcla, the Roumanians
of the Bukovina, the Banat and TransyL
vanta, the Jugo-Slavs of Camlola, Dal
matia, Croatia. -Slavonla, Bosnia and
Herzegovina, the Italians of the Tren
tlno, Trieste and the coast landa These
desire, respectively, to unite with Poland,
Roumania, Serbia and Italy. Any other
solution will be out of accord with the
desires of the people and in conflict with
the principles affirmed by all the allied
nations and the wise policy for the
future, which must look to the erection
of strong states across Germany's path
way of aggression. "
In addition, the Czecho-Slovaks of
Bohemia, Moravia and the highlands
of northern Hungary have already de
clared their independence and seek to
erect a new state. Their legitimate am
bition has' already been approved both
by our allies and by ourselves. Equally
unqualified approval has been bestowed
upon the -Polish aspirations, both with
respect of the Poles of Austria and
Russia, and also those of Germany.
Dual Monarchy May Disappear
Such a transformation will leave two
well-defined groups of subjects of the
Emperor Charles, who should also be
permitted to follow- their own desires.
These are some 1,000,000 of German
and 10,000.000 of Hungarians, It the
Hungarians persist' in their demand
for Independence, then they naturally
will be permitted to erect a new Magyar
state, which will include all the prop
erly , Hungarian - districts .of the dual
Monarchy. Almost inevitably the Aus
trian Germans will : thereafter " rravl-
tate to ; the German empire, in which
they logically would constitute one more
state, like Bavaria and Wurtemberg.
Germany would thus acquire consider
able new territory, and add S.000.000 of
Germans to her population, which would
more, than compensate for any sacrifices
made In Alsace-Lorraine or- Prussian
Poland.- - .: .
On the . other hand, before this hap
pens, a desperate fight-will be made
both by the Austrian Germans and the
Magyars to preserve some fraction .of
their ' old control over subject traces.
