BELGRADE LAKES
Much Interest Shown in BOWLING

The stormy weather of Monday
brought one of the largest gatherings
Of the season to the Acme bowling al
leys. and competition for this weeks
prizes was especially keen.
The real reason for the increased
interest is undoubtedly due to a new
system of awarding the prizes, which
has been inaugurated this week for
the first time. The two ladies' prizes
will hereafter be awarded one to the
best string made by a summer WISH
tor. the other to the best string made
~ a resident of the town. The la
dies have not taken so much interest
in the sport before this. because two
residents of the town have secured
the prizes week after week through
out the summer.
The prize winners for last week have
not yet been determined, because three
or more have been tied in every class
and all of the roll offs" have not yet
been completed.

clusters of trees, a few busy wind
mills and high sky. all Of them sug-
gestive Of the liberty that is near at
hand but which is barred by double
row of wire fences, both above and
under water, and a series of armed
Dutch guards. At night the entire
zone OF barbed wire and rifles is light
ed up by strong arclights, giving the
OLD fort an appearance something like
an American amusement park on a.
summer night. But when approached
closely it is seen that mosquitoes and
bats are the only ones to enjoy this
beautiful glare. The occupants of the
fort are safely locked up for the night
and at II o'clock they are sent to bed.
For year now these men have been
in prison which really is not a pris-
on. If they were prisoners of war they
could be treated severely and could be
punished for the breaking of any rule
of the camp. Since they are interned
foreign soldiers and have not given
their parole that they shall not try to
escape. they are al perfect liberty to
walk away the moment they can.

the next morning and unless they act

there is no way in which to punish
them for the trouble which they have
caused all around. AS a matter Of
fact. the Dutch boy. who is standing
guard, is not going to burden his con-
science with the death Of an excellent
fellow with whom he has played games
for many months and against whom he
has nothing but friendly feelings.
AS for the daily routine of the in
termed officers it can be we'll compared

BOXING NOTES

The first heavyweight ring battle in
Maine for several years will bring to-
gether George Kid Cotton of Boston and
Dave Mills of Australia, now in this
country as sparring partner for Sam
McVea of California, on Labor day after
noon in the new Airdome arena, Bidde-
ford. which has a seating capacity OF
more than 1909, making it the largest out
door enclosure devoted to boxing in New
England. Two six round bouts will be
fought, and, while no decision can be
given, the fact that these men are rivals
for battle with Sandy Ferguson at the
Atlas A. A, Boston assures a bout well
worth looking over.

|NTERNED OFFICERS
SOMETIMES ESCAPE
FROM THEIR PRISON

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
The Hague. Netherlands. Aug. 15.-

schans where are interned the British
officers of the Antwerp relief expedi-
ton which was forced by the Germans
to retreat into Holland a year ago.
occasionally loses some Of its khaki
clad guests, Notwithstanding that the
Dutch profess to guard the place thor
oughly. The British officers, like many
of those interned in other camps in
Holland, refuse to pledge themselves
against trying to escape to England to
rejoin the fighting forces. and once
outside the fortress these prisoners
find the Dutch people disposed to make
things easy for them. The guards at
the camp are under orders to shoot
any escaping prisoner. and it is true
that they do shoot at them. but there
is often something mysteriously poor
about their aim. In fact if it were not
for the constant arrival Of ship-wreck-
ed aviators, the quota Of prisoners at
Wierickerschans would not be long
sustained.
The fortress is an interesting place.
~
lines, nobody seems to have been
aware OF its existence until the war
brought it to notice. 1t is surrounded
by cluster Of green trees and a broad
moat, which makes it virtually an is
land. Even the farmers who live near
by know so little Of its origin that,
with the historical generosity Of the
indifferent. they vaguely refer to the
castle as dating back to the time of
the Romans. AS a matter Of fact. the
fort was built by King William of
England, the Stakeholder of Holland,
and cannot be older than the year 1872
1t was in that year that King Louis
XIV Of France invaded Holland and
marched right up to Amsterdam. The
country was at once flooded and sew
eral Notifications were built in this
impromptu sea to guard the few high
roads which could not be submerged.
The deep and broad moat which sur
rounds the fortress is now used for
fishing and swimming purposes by the
IS British officers interned there. In

Fine Fishing

The fishing has been steadily good.
The biggest trout Of the season was
caught last week by DR.. Wilson in
Long Lake. a handsome square tail
weighing II pounds. Schools of white
perch are numerous in Great Lake,
and nearly all the anglers are bring
ing them in every day. The White
Lodges. the east side Of Hoyts ISL
and, and the west side of Allen Point
seem to be the most frequented spots
for perch.
Nearly all Of the fishermen have
noted the appearance of a new fish
in Belgrade Lakes this year, the yell
low perch. They seem to be plentiful
around the bogs and marshes and are
all very small, about the size Of a
smelt. They are used extensively at
present for trout bait.
