PRISONERS PUNISHED.
REPORT FROM TOKIO RADIO.
NEW YORK, May 2.
The Tokio radio said that appropriate punishment had been imposed on 25 American Army and Navy officers and men, and seven British sailors, who allegedly posed as civilians when interned in the Philippines. The broadcast asserted that they discarded their uniforms after the fall of the Philippines, but confessed their military identity when one of them, an American private, gave the names of all 31 because he feared the disclosure of “a love affair which had caused a scandal among the internees.” The radio added that the seven British sailors were the survivors of the transport Tanttalus, sunk in Manila Bay.
