No Prisoner Would Leave the Camp
Under Any Indueement Less Than
Declaration Of Peace-Have
All the luxurieS.
BY HAYDEN TALBOT.

London.-If any belligerent country
ever conducted an enemy internment
camp as this country is running the
make-shift prison into which the old
islington workhouse has been trans
formed. the worlds historians have
deprived their readers of a tale at the
same time amazing and amusing.
Surely that greatest of all British hu-
morists, w. S. Gilbert. would be able
to write a classic satire around Is
hngton workhouse. were he only alive
to do 1t. Except his, no pen can do
Justice to the facts.
To begin. there are upwards OF 700
Germans and Austrians interned at Is
ifngton. The guard-altogether un-
needed-is comprised OF one police
sergeant and four P. C's, who are in
America plain policemen Not one Of
the seven hundred odd prisoners
would leave Islington for any consid-
GRAFTON less than a declaration OF
peace. The waiting list OF alien enc
mics now interned in less-favored
camps exceeds five hundred.

is the dearest wish of every German
and Austrian now in Great Britain

are still enjoying their full liberty.

But the British government doesn't
stop with taking this money. II
spends it on the dependents of those
interned. AS all the inmates OF the
lslinston camp are married men. many
OF them with English wives and al
most all of them with wives resident
in England, this fund may be said to
purpose. In any event. the govern
ment applies it all to the assistance
OF the enemy prisoners dependents.
But that is only part Of what the
government does for these enemy
aliens There is a lawyer appointed
by the government and paid BY the
taxpayers. whose sole business is to
take care OF the prisoners legal trou-
bles. He has been busy ever since
the camp was started.
One German had been in partner
ship with an Englishman. Could that
partnership be legally dissolved? The
English solicitor promised to do his
best to prevent the dissolution.

he might collect damages from some

instituted suit for damages against

Every day this harrister transacts
business in the financial district for
