We are constantly reading in the newspa- /pers and Magazines accounts of the relief and / joy of the Germans upon becoming the pris- / oners of the Allies. They seem to know that / they will be well cared for while in the hands / of their enemies. The Allies would like to feel / as certain of the kind treatment by the Germans, / but authentic tales of heartlessness and cruelty / too terrible to relate, makes the soldiers in the / allied armies rather meet death than be taken / prisoners.
