[Footnote 3: Bishop Bury (_My Visit to Ruhleben_) writes: “Again I was conscious of just the same spirit of privation—extraordinarily pathetic it was—about people and places....” (p. 79) It is to be feared that some who “profess and call themselves Christians” can see nothing pathetic in the sufferings of an enemy people.] [Footnote 4: _Comité International de la Croix Rouge, Première Série._] [Footnote 5: The number of prisoners now (October, 1917) in Germany is probably nearly three times as great.] [Footnote 6: _Comité International Rapports_ (Première Série, p. 31).] [Footnote 7: l.c., p. 60.] [Footnote 8: Reporting on March 9, 1916, Mr. Jackson wrote that, though, “owing to its situation and character,” it could never be made “an entirely satisfactory camp,” yet “there had been a marked improvement in its general ‘atmosphere.’” (Misc. 16 [1916].)] [Footnote 9: Dr. Ella Scarlett-Synge (M.D., D.P.H.) visited this camp on December 17, 1915. She reports: “The prisoners of war are housed in well-built, well-drained barracks having excellent ventilation. Each man has an iron bedstead with two blankets (or a thick quilt), a straw mattress, good pillow and sheet....”] [Footnote 10: These indulgences can also be paralleled on this side. A writer from a British internment camp says, during “a great sports week”: “There are already a lot in hospital with broken legs and arms.”] [Footnote 11: It is astounding how extremely rare are responsible accounts of the worser ill-deeds by those who have actually suffered them. These stories have almost always been heard from someone else. (Cf. pp. 156, 157.)] [Footnote 12: “The Common Cause.” October 16, 1914.] II. CIVILIAN PRISONERS. RESIDENT ENEMY NATIONALS.
