BRITISH PRISONERS BASTINADOED AND FORCED TO EAT 



VERMIN. 



In a despatch from Constantinople (dated the i2th inst. 

 and received! ytesterday), Mr. G. Ward Prjlce describes 

 the condition of British prisoners who are being collected 

 there. He has spoken with men from Kut, from Gallipoli, 

 and from Palestine. Their evidence fully bears out the 

 stories told in yesterday's " Daily News/' 



" In the worst Turkish camps British prisoners were 

 bastinadoed on the bare soles of their feet. One Turkish 

 officer, to punish a man for having lice on him which 

 was unavoidable under the conditions in which the 

 prisoners were living made him eat the vermin found 

 in his shirt."
