The lot of the prisoner may nevertheless be mitigated, if those into whose hands they have fallen be animated by a warm compassion for their fate. The treatment of prisoners of war in Germany is based upon this sentiment. The unwritten laws of humanity, deeply inscribed in the heart of every German, also govern the conduct of the German officials in the treatment of prisoners, and the unbiassed testimony of numerous prisoners of war, as well as the photographs reproduced in this book and gathered from 69 prison camps, all demonstrate this as a fact, nothwithstanding the slanderous statements of the enemy to the contrary. Happy faces testify to the good spirits of the prisoners. Games und dances in the open, theatrical and musical performances tend to disperse oppressive worry. Practice at their trade, perfecting themselves in the crafts, advanced studies in science, provide that the time, spent in imprisonment, be not wholly lost to those whom, it is to be hoped, a release from confinement is awaiting at no too far remote day.
