changed Italian prisoners, who hav«
just arrived from Austrian concentra

cruelties practiced against prisoners,
particularly Serbians, who are reported
confined in cages and fed through bars
like animals. An authoritative sum
mary o f the statements o f these re
turned prisoners says:
“ The treatment o f the Serbians is
even worse than that o f the Italians,
indicating that Austria intends to de
stroy the Serbians as a race.
“ As a result o f these conditions
there are up to now not less than 30,-
000 to 40,000 dead from starvation.
“ They are permitted to receive no
parcels and are unable to work because
o f weakness. They are put like ani
mals in cages with
wooden bars.
Through these bars the keepers throw
them scrap« o f uneatable bread, car
rots and turnips as their sole suste
nance. The mortality, already great,
is increased, as they are given no care
and there are no doctors and no sanita

Concerning the Italians, the state
ment says, they returned in rags after
suffering ill treatment and exposure to
cold while compelled to work on enemy
trenches under the guard o f Hungar
ians, who are declared to be particu
larly hostile to the Italians.
They received a small loaf o f bread
daily for division among them.
“ Conditions are so terrible, the re
port says, that they will result In not
more than one-third o f the Italian
