TREATMENT OF BRITISH WOUNDED. (Australian ana N.Z. Gable Assn.) Received Mav 2, 9.50 p.m. LONDON, May 2. Mr Beach Thomas writes that a section of Britishers captured a Hun basement fortress 30 feet deep under the second German line, which was impervious to shell fire. It contained 31 British wounded, who had been provided with coffee by the retreating enemy. The British responded to this unexpected humanity by asking their comrades to treat kindly any prisoners from this particular regiment.
