IN CONCENTRATION CAMPS

BRITONS’ TREATMENT IN PARIS [U.P.A.-By Electric Telegraph-Copyright) LONDON, sth December. 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 one is St. Denis. Even the septuagenarian Colonel Shaw, for many years honorary president of the British Red Cross in Paris, was hustled off to camp and released only after a week of unhappy treatment. A changed German attitude to American citizens has been noticeable in recent weeks. German officials are continually inspecting their property and houses, and are also 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, despite protests of the American doctor in charge of the hospital.
