The forâ€" tunes of war have placed them where they are but it is evident on their own testimony what can be done.â€"to mitigate their lot is done. The free and genial air fostered under our democratic SY§â€" tem permeates even the confines of their prison camps, and the humanity and kindliness of their temporary jailers contrasts strikingly with . what they could expect ,under similar conditions in their own‘land. Deeply impressed by the skill and care given to him while he underwent an operation one appreciative prisoner had "at all times the feeling that everyâ€" thing was looked after well and that I personally could not have arranged matters better." Constantly iterated in the letters is the refrain, "Do not send me any food. The food they give us here is excellent and plentiful." This is varied someâ€" times to, "Do not send me any more parcels, as I do not need anything." Kanaskis Internment Camp prisoners are particularly emphatic in their asâ€" sertions that the wants of the inner man are fully taken care of. One of them received in reply a letter stating: ‘ I am glad to know that your huts are nice and warm and that your offiâ€" cers are very nice to you. I must say that in Germany they would not be so nice to us. You know how they are treating us at home (Germany) in the police station. They shout at us over the least little thing." His evidence is supplemented by anâ€" other who, thankful to be able to write in German, assures his people: "We get 3 good meals a day and enough also. If anybody should complain about the treatment, I would say that he is a big liar." "I am hoping to be able to return my thanks to you by service to maintain order in this camp." "I have to give the authorities a lot of credit for the treatment they are giving usâ€"all of them from the Comâ€" mandant down to a private are as pleasant as possible. Food is good and for sutre better than we had it at home in Germany during the last war. Clothâ€" ing also sufficient." "The treatment is very kindly and the food very good and .be sure many got not so good to eat as they have here." Ancother assures his relatives: "Here in the camp we are looked after all right. We have enough decent food and everything is going on smo0othly. We are free all day to do what we like, either go for a walk or while away the time in the recreation hall. In some respects we are better off than the Militia as we have a German cook. Of course it is not as nice as to be with my darling«â€"however, it is not too bad at all." One of the prisoners at Pelawawa knew something of the last war and of the conditions then prevailing in his homeland, as this excerpt shows: One letter from a prisoner in the internment camp at Petawawa epitoâ€" mises the sense and feeling of numerous cthers however much the words may differ. He writes: still retain their G¢rman nationality, Extracts from their leiters to their friends are the best proof of this, and incidentally, corroborate that, in this country the Interrational Convention Relative o the Treatment of Prisoners of War is interpreted in the broadest and most humane spirit.

The men spend one month on shore for every two on board. Toâ€"day there is still a lightship there with the name of her station painted in huge letters on her side. Every lightâ€" ship carries the name of its station, and on its mast, has a symbolâ€"usually a huze hollow gloveâ€"showing that it i# a lighthip. So there can be no question of mistaken identity when such a ship is attacked.

But on this ocâ€" sasion the bomber dived suddenly and ; sprayed the deck with machme-gun! bullets and later dropped nine bombs, the last .of which hit our ship." The Prime Minister has .escribed this as an act "of pure gangsterism."
