JAPANESE CRUELTY
(Rec. 6.30 p.m.) NEW DELHI, May 25. Questioned about Japanese atrocities in Burma, Lieutenant-General Joseph W. Stillwell, the American officer who commanded the Chinese troops in Bunna, said: “The Japanese behaved with their usual savagery. Prisoners taken from the 17th Indian Division in one place were, tied in houses, which were then burned down. The Japanese in another place carried out bayonet practice on British prisoners until they died. This story was confirmed by a prisoner who escaped.”
