Denies Charges of Bad Treatment by Austro Hungarians
A Vienna dispatch reports the Austro Hungarian government defending its prisoner of war policy amid Italian charges of mistreatment. It asserts POWs are punished under army regulations if needed, housing meets sanitary laws, and food rations align with central powers' constraints. The note cites no maltreatment and contrasts with Allied famine policies while praising officers’ conduct toward Italian captives.
