BY WILBUR S. FORREST.

London. - Alexandra palace, Eng
lands largest single internment camp
for civilian prisoners Of war, corre-
spending to Germany's Ruhleben, near
Berlin, is the fascinating interesting
British military city l was permitted
to visit today. No other press repre-
sentatives were there; and this is the
first time a press man has been per
mitted to enter this camp.
More thar 5000 enemy aliens, rich
and poor, from all parts Of the world,
are living at Alexandra palace, North
London. Hundreds of Croats and
Poles from Pittsburgh and Detroit,
captured on their way home to fight;
well-known European musical artists
interned while performing in England;
Germans and Austrians taken from
ships in the Atlantic and the North
sea, and Austro-German directors OF
big British firms, together with alien
inhabitants of England, some of 80
years residence, make a unique and
remarkable colony-for the duration
of the war.
There is no social distinction in the
three battalions of a thousand men
each. Military discipline prevails. 1t
affects the English-German aristocrat
and the lowliest Pittsburgh steel
worker alike. A company of British
soldiers guards the palace, which in
peace time serves as a London Coney
Island, or White City.
There are benevolent societies, di-
rectors' meetings, institutes of paint
ing, drawing, sculpture; theater that
that would do credit to Broadway,
workshops for dozens of trades, fully
equipped hospital; schools post Off |
ces, football and swedish drill laun-
dries, mammoth spotless kitchens, |
stores and shops, commodious bath
rooms and dozens of other things in
side the baTbed wire inclosing this
multitude.
"Tbey are making the best of it
and 1t is my duty to let them enjoy
life to the limit of military possibill-
ties" remarked Col. Frood Walker,
British regular army veteran of twen-
ty years in the Orient, who is the com

"PLEASE FIND MY MATE"
Baby's Shoe Travels 5000 Miles in
Effort to Locate Its
Mate.

Ely, Mo.-A baby's shoe, which has
Travelled more than six thousand miles
through most Of the states of the
Union, arrived recently at the Office
Of the American express here, having
been sent by the agent of the company

The commandant's words voice the
British attitude toward prisoners OF
war, both military and civilian. It
considers the human side of those
forced to live behind wire entangle-
ments. Once a week the commandant
turns over his Office to prisoners who
have complaints. He hears the stories
and does what he can
Twice weekly the commandant per-
sonally inspects every one of the 1000
beds housed under the great roofs OF
the palace. These beds are neat and
clean, with four blankets and a soft
mattress for each.
There are eigl cooks for every
thousand prisoners The food is pre-
pared and taken to three great mess
rooms, each Of which can compare
in floor space to the main lobby of
New Yor,1's Grand Central station.
Here is the food allowance, per man
per day: One and one-half pounds Of
white bread, one-half pound of meat,
one-half pound of potatoes, two ounces
of peas, lentils, beans or rice; two
ounces of sugar, one-half ounce of tea
or two ounces of coffee, one ounce of
margarine or two ounces of cheese,
timed milk, salt and pepper. There
is afternoon tea with bread and but
ter
Each battalion has a large canteen
where a prisoner may augment his
food supply. The wealthier internes
freely patronize the canteens, but the
ordinary fare is better than the av-
erage Pittsburgh steel worker ever
had in his life. These Pittsburghers
aren't anxious for the war t0 close.
They're satisfied.
The American embassy, godfather of
all enemy aliens in the British isles,
works hand in hand with a special
of the Weather interned |
men to care for the special wants of
the poor.
Almost every prisoner looks for
ward eagerly to the weekly theater.
Here artists, some high in the pro
fession, perform vaudeville stunts.
Professional actors present the latest
plays. The theater will seat 1,500
persons. The scenery was painted by
artists who rank high in British and
German art circles, and is infinitely
better than that found in the average
London playhouse.
A smaller hall, for 500 persons, is
set aside for the evening musicals.
This hall is always crowded. At a
hight concert Herr F. Lorant, an
Austrian violinist, who will be heard
n America after the war, was the star
attraction.
