Ottawa, Sept. 6

The following official memorandum was issued today:

It was hoped, some time ago, that one shilling a day would be paid Canadian prisoners of war in Germany, but as the Army Council have decided to allow only one shilling a week to British prisoners of war, irrespective of rank, and as it is absolutely necessary to treat British and Canadian prisoners alike, the Canadian government has asked the War office to arrange for Canadian prisoners to get this amount also. Prisoners, when required to work, are paid 11 cents a day by the German government.
