A largely-attended meeting of members of Parliament, adopted a resolution deploring the serious failure on the part of the Central Prisoners of War Committee to supply bread to prisoners in Germany, thereby inflicting serious privations. It was held that the supply of medicines and comforts was inadequate and the despatch of clothing and boots should be hastened to reach prisoners before the cold weather, especially in Asia Minor and Bulgaria. LONDON. July 12.,

Lord Newton, speaking in the House of Lords, stated that the agreement arrived at by the British and German delegates at The Hague will greatly benefit many thousand prisoners. The British Cabinet has approved the agreement, but a detailed statement is not desirable until the Germans have approved the arrangement. >
