Stories o f Barbarous Cruelty Reach%
Italy From Austrian Concentra­
tion Camps—Many Dying.
Italian Army Headquarters — Ex­
changed Italian prisoners, who have
just arrived from Austrian concentra­
tion camps, tell of almost unbelievable
cruelties practiced against prisoners,
particularly Serbians, who are reported
confined in cages and fed through bars
I like animals. An authoritative sum­
mary o f the statements of these re­
turned prisoners says:
“ The treatment of 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 of 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
of weakness. They are put like ani­
mals in cages with
wooden bars.
Through these bars the keepers throw
them scraps of 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
tion.’ ’
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 of Hungar­
ians, who are declared to be particu­
larly hostile to the Italians.
They received a small loaf of 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
prisoners coming back alive.”

positors of the Bank increase, the volume of deposits of the Bank increases.
It is therefore wise and prudent for the Bank to Assist the people of this vi­
cinity to increase their money and property. To this end the most cordial
relations between the officers of the Bank and its depositors are encouraged.
