Lord Fisher's daughter, Mrs. Neeld, is being detained in Germany under rather cruel circumstances, Mrs, Neeld and her husband, Admiral R. R. Neeld, of Twatly, Malmesbury, Wilts, went to Bad Nauheim for their healths some weeks before the war broke out, Mrs. Nerld is almost blind, and the Admiral hax serious heart trouble.
Both have suffered terribly owing to their treatment. To mak> matters worse, Admiral Neeld has been placed in a prison at Frankfort, and this has naturally intensified the danger to his health.
Representations have been made in influential quarters with a view to the release of Admiral and Mrs. Neeld, but so far all such efforts have failed. It has been stated by English ladies who have been allowed to return to England from Bad Nauheim that Mrs. Neeld was offered release if she would go and leave her husband behind, but she firmly refused the offer.
