One of the sisters of mercy of the Russian Red Cross who visited the concentration camps of the Russian prisoners in Germany writes to say she will never forget the moment when she first came in contact with the sufferings of these wretched creatures, “the slaves of the Kaiser.” They cried out to her, “Sister, we have not enough to eat.” “Sister, they beat us unmercifully.” “Sister, look at this wound; the sentinel gave it to me with his bayonet.” “Sister, for mercy’s sake get bread for us; at the rate we are fed we shall not live to return to our country.” She saw the mud huts where many Russian soldiers had their limbs frozen, where they were devoured by vermin and contracted typhoid fever and cholera. She saw the wounds made by ferocious dogs. All these things well-nigh broke her heart and filled her with grief that could never be forgotten.
