WAR PRISONERS IN JUNGLE 'CHUNGKING, Sept. 14. The International Red Cross intervened v/ith the Japanese Government over the- treatment of 6000 white prisoners of war drafted for construction work in the jungles on the Thailand-Burma border on the new Bangkok-Rangoon railway. In consequence, says the British United Press, prisoners' food, quarters and medical attention have improved, but not before a number had died.
