Condition of German Camps In
England Not as Good as Might Be

By Carl w. Alderman, United
Press staff correspondent
BERLIN, April 3, by mail to New
York.-England, on the whole, treats
the Austro-G German prisoners she has
interned ''as good as couldrbe expect
cd under the circumstances, accord
ing to report made to United States
Ambassador Gerard by John b. JACK
son, an American, who visited Eng
lish prison camps. The sanitary con-
ditions in some OF the British camps
were bad, Jackson reported. The
British commanders promised him,
he said. that these conditions would
be improved.
On February lst Jackson reported,
England had interned 26,o00 Germans
and Austrians. These men were con-
tined in thirteen detention camps and
on nine ships. Generally speaking.
the food and health OF the prisoners
was good, according to the report TO
Ambassador Gerard.
The Germans complained principal
ly OF the monotonous bill of fare anil
OF their treatment after arrest, jack
son reported that several Germans
brought from South Africa swore they
had been insulted and robbed while
others testified that they owed their
lives to British soldiers who protect
ed them from mobs in France, while
they were being transferred from the
front to Great Britain.
The new camps are better than
the ones first used said the report.
Lack OF organization and prepara-
ton would account for most of the
hardships that prevailed at first ABB
solutely nowhere did there seem to
be any wish to make conditions any
harder or more disagreeable for the
prisoners than was necessary.
On the ship Royal Edward Jackson
found l,400 Germans. Some of the
prisoners were locked below decks At
night, he said. This caused some
nervousness, because OF the fear Of
German attacks. In the camp at
Stratford, in the eastern part Of Lon
don. Jackson declared the prisoners
were permitted to have their own
government The men elected a
senate" the members of which were
given certain authority over other
prisoners.

Reports Circulating of Very Rich
Placer Discovery Near Hawthorne

If the rumors and reports that have
been circulating about Carson the
past twenty-four hours prove true,
Western Nevada is in line for
placer boom the like OF which has
not materialiZed for many year

wonderful mineral resources OF the
Sagebrush State.
According to the information at

thorne, in a gulch covered with wash

of thousands of dollars in gold
The present find, is it stated, was
made otter going through the wash
for a distance OF III feet and on bed
rock lies material that is reported
to run as high as SIS to the yard,
the gold being as coarse as grain
of wheat and in many instances mug
gets worth two or three dollars are

Bobby Burns, formerly shift boss
at the Halifax mine in Tonopah.

However, the secret leaked out
about Monday of this week, but not
until Burns man had taken up all
the surrounding land. Then it was
announced and a rush was made for
the new "diggins," and placer loca-
tons were made for miles either way.
Johnny Miller, one of the owners of
