FRENCH SOLDIERS' SUFFERINGS. PARIS, 30th January. A Swiss who visited a camp of French prisoners in Germany reports that the men are badly fed, Deing restricted to 250 grammes (a little over half a pound) of bread daily. The vegetables aTe not cooked, and the supply of soup is inadequate They are compelled to work hard, and 1 when they stagger under their burdens are thrashed and set upon by their guards, like dogs. Their quarters are not heated, and a thin layer of straw serves as a bed. There is much sickness, and the death-rate is high.
