ALL NATIONS LOVE
IN GERMAN PRISON
CAMP DESPITE WAR

MAINz, Germany, Oct. S.-A visit to
the officers prison camp in the Won
derful old citadel here, and talk with
the English, French, Belgian, Russian
AS well as German-officers COM
pletely destroys the impression that
personal antagonism and hate exists
among the actual fighting men in the
war.
The Mainz camp, which is enc of the
best war prisons of Germany, at pres
ent has population of $50 officers, 60
of whom are Bditish. The balance is
almost equally divided between Rus
slams and French and Belgian. Some
thing over 100 common soldiers de-
tailed as servants are quartered there
in addition.
Both sides recognize in the other
honorable opponents who have had
Individually nothing to do with either
the causes or the conduct of the war,
and whom misfortunes of honorable
conflict either have Stunned or hit.
Before the war the citadel of Mainz
was a barracks. Its rooms and it's
quarters was emptied late last sum-
mer, and after being gone ever by the
were turned into a camp. It's myriad
rooms were found easily available Off
comfortable quarters for officers. Many
of the higher and older men have in
dividual apartments, and in none are
more than a dozen men.
. The buildings are in the form of a
square about huge enclosure, in
which tennis courts have been built,
and which serves eXcellently as an ex-
ercise ground for the officers. The
scene at almost any time of day is one
of kaleidoscope variety as the red
trousered Frenchmen mingle with the
khaki-clad Englishmen, and the bril-
liantly-uniforme Belgians walk with
the Russians.
One of the largest buildings has
been turned into mess where the Off
GERS eat. Four meals a day are served
with the customary con-
tip entail breakfast of bread and coffee,
q charity dinner at noon, a lighter
meal late in the afternoon and a
lunch or supper before bedtime.
Until dark the men are allowed the
liberty of the entire camp after that

may keep lights burning until II. At
7:45 in the morning they must be up
and out By a sort of government
system two officers in each building
are put in control or command each
week and upon these rests the re-
sponsibility of getting the men out
promptly each day and of enforcing
the rules regulating the life of the
camp.
The men with whom an Associated
Press correspondent had opportunity
to speak recently agreed without ex-
ception that the food was good and
sufficient in quantity. Twice a day the
men are allowed half bottle of wine
or of beer with their meals, and in ad-
dition are able to purchase almost any
variety of eatables, things to drink
and to wear, as we'll as Injuries, at
the camp canteen.
Sport figures prominently in the life
Of the men at Mainz, and scarcely a
week goes bp without a football or
cricket match, tennis tournament or
some similar event. The Englishmen,
despite their numerical inferiority, are
as usual the leaders in all games and
outdoor exercises.

FALL OF PRZEMYSL
IN PICTURES IS BIG
WONDER INSPIRER
Six Reels Of Motion Pictures of
the TeutOniC Advance Against
and Subsequent Capture OF
PrzemySI, Is Wonder Show.

Slightly pro.Teutonic, in that the
subject is covered from that stand
point, but highly entertaining and ILL
uminating to,the extent Of being phe-
nomenal. is the picture now playing at
the Royal-The Battle and Fan of
Przemysl. This feature will be shown
at the Royal again today and this
evening and viii also be shown at the
Lowell this evening, the films being
rushed from one playhouse to another
as fast. as used.
The American mind, regardless Of
its breadth. of its ability to assimi-
late huge questions, can hardly real
ize what is tranepiring in Europe.
Only those who have been fortunate
enough to see the war at first hand
can realize what the slaughter a.
mounts to; what its end will be. and
the machinery with which it is
wrought.
When the Russians were pounding
away at the Carpathian passes and
threatening the plains of Hungary,
the world stood aghast and wondered
how long Austria would continue to
see her lands ravaged and her people
butchered But the tide turned and
the Teutonic forces, under the com
mand of Field Marshal Won Macken-
sen, and dominated by the German
efficiency and thoroughness, which
has characterized that nations every
move in the present conflict, swept
back. They drove the Cossack and
his little brother headlong through
the passes and into the gates of Pre-
mysl The balance of that flight is
too fresh i'm the minds of the reader
TO dwell upon.
Actual scenes, depicting that rush
which has carried the Russians into
eastern Galicia and along the Dvinsk-
Petrograd railway, are now to be had,
however They consists of six thou
sand feet of film taken by three Am
erican and two Austrian war cores
