NEGLECT IN PRISON CAMFS. GERMANS FLEE FROM TYPHUS. LONDON, June 3. Dr. Dumas, in an article in tho British ''Medical Journal," says that when typhus appeared at Stendal camp the Germans fled, leaving the I 1 rench and Russian doctors with tho sick within a barbed wire enclosure under most unfavourable conditions. Several of tho medical men fell victims to tho criminal want of forethought of those entrusted with the camp. The Government took stops only when the disease was spreading among its own people, isolated huts~ built disinfectors and baths, an introduced anti-typhoid inoculations which were ostentatiously carried out on a large scale.
