HATED BRITISH. [ .g o I PRUSSIAN BRUTALITY TO PRISONERS OF I WAR. RUSSIAN CONSUL'S ORDEAL I I Petrograd, Monday.—Fresh evidence of 1 the bitter hatred of everything British prevailing among the Germans is given; by a Kusaian doctor named üVla.genLwU, viio has just returned to retiograd after: nearly three months' captivity among the I .Germans. Dr. Ziviagentzeif was arrested in a motor at Staiuponnen, in iiiast Prussia, the chauiieur being killed and the doctor him- self being wounded, lie was taken to a femall isiand off Stralsund, where several British subjects were being kept; ill solitary confinement, whereas the liussian prisoners, although they were practically ti-eiied as convicts, had at least the con- j filiation of companionship. On one occasion, relates the doctor, two British officers, during exercise, chanced to meet near the hospital. This was re- ported to the German commandant, who reprimanded the officers in question in the most abusive language, and also accused the Russian doctor in insulting terms of having arranged the meeting. Consul's Ordeal. ) Among the latest arrivals at Odessa is the Russian Consul at Erzerum, who was arrested three days after the declaration of war. The Caucasian frontier is only 100 j versts (about 66 miles) distant from; Erzerum. Nevertheless, the Consul, his wife, and the Vice-Consul were compelled to make a journey of 3S days, partly on foot, across Anatolia to Constantinople, whence they proceeded to Odessa via. 5 Rdumasia. In an interview with a journalist the Consul describes his terrible experiences, The party started at night without having been given any indication as to their destination, and journeyed on for days, taking but little rest, and that iaostly in the freezing open air or in stables. To add to their discomforts their luggage was stolen, while the people in all the villages through which they passed Vvere strictly forbidden to wash their jclothes, which, consequently, the party I were unable to change during the whole 38 days. I A Terrible Option. I The Consul's wife fell ill, and the Turkish guards gave her the option of remaining alone in a wretched village where there were no Christian inhabit- ants, or crossing a pass 13,000ft. high in a i blinding snowstorm. She chose the latter alternative. The snow was so thick that 40 soldiers were barely able to pull the cart on which the party were travelling through the frozen drifts.—Press Associa- tie".
