PRISONERS CODDLED?
NEW YORK, Nov. 30.
Complaints that the United States army is coddling German war prisoners are being made by the Paris Press, says the New York Post's Paris correspondent. French journalists who visited two prison camps near Paris were amazed to find that German prisoners get meat twice daily. The civilian ration is three-quarters of - a pound of meat a week—when there is meat. The prisoners get more bread than the civilians and they are given such luxuries as coffee with milk, cocoa with sugar, and butter and other things which are only wistful memories to most Frenchmen. The journalists said the American officers insisted that they were only observing tl»e Geneva Convention governing the treatment of war prisoners.
