BRITISH PEOPLE IN PARIS
HUSTLED INTO CONCENTRATION CAMPS NAZI ATTITUDE TO AMERICANS CHANGING LONDON, December 5. A correspondent of ' The Times ’ who was lately in France declares that all British subjects in Paris to the age of 65 are gathered in concentration camps, of which the principal is at St. Denis. Even a septuagenarian, Colonel Shaw, who was for many years honorary president of the British Bed Cross in Paris, was hustled off to camp and released only after a week of unhappy treatment. The changed German attitude to American citizens has been noticeable during recent weeks and German officials are continually inspecting their property and houses, and constantly visiting the American hospital in Paris, where there are 60 French and 20 British soldiers. Several of the British wounded have already been taken to prison camps in spite of protests by the American doctor in charge of the hospital.
