The reports on the holding of prisoners of war published in the Tagoszeitungen and eagerly awaited are the main topic of discussion for the German population. The evidence of the culpable behaviour of the English people is described as incontestable and the countermeasures drawn from it as just propitiation. At the same time, however, it is often added from the German side that this German-English dispute in the question of prisoner-of-war treatment is in itself very distressing, since the treatment of prisoners is a purely human problem, which cannot be solved by violation or non-compliance of the Gonfer agreements, regardless of whom the guilt takes place. The British's debt account had risen in such a way that, in the present case, Germany was not left with any other way at best.
