The Germans, for instance, have "Hundsrose," and PIiny tells how a Roman mother was moved in a dream to send some roots Of the wild rose to her soldier son in Spain: They arrived just after he had been bitten by mad dog. He took them and was preserved from hydrophobia, as were others who adopted the same treatment And from that time the wild rose became the 'sdOg rose."-London Chronicle.

tors do their prisoners the honor of
believing that no chance will be over

single prisoner has succeeded in do
ing so thus far, but the guards dis
covered "a tunnel which had pro-
gressed eleven feet of the sixty yards
necessary to reach underneath the
barbwire fence. Outside of this fence
armed guards are on constant watch,
and apparently careless of the Yep
pelin peril, the place is brilliantly
Illuminated at night.
The visitors were permitted to talk
to a number of the prisoners and
among them the Associated Press cor
respondent found several who call
America home. Among these was
Victor Won Borosini, a well-known So
cial worker of Chicago who has long
been connected with Hull House. Like
most of his colleagues who live in the
United States, Won Borosini was eager
to hear the latest news from his home
city Among other residents of AM
erica among the prisoners were Doc
tor Arnold Kohlshutter, astronomer of
Mt. Wilson Observatory, California,
who finds much leisure in the prison
for astronomical research work; DR..
Friedensberg of New York. who was
connected with the Panama Canal at
one time in an engineering capacity;
Captain Kurt Beser of Los Angeles;
Millington Herman, son of the presi
dent of the Deutscher Bank and con
nected with the New York branch of
that institution. Among other noted
prisoners are Doctor Martin Luther,
surgeon of the cruiser Emden, and
Doctor Lutz, an authority on South

warship with one bunk above an
other. Most of the rooms are orna-
mented with attractive prints many
of which are the handicraft of the
dodgers. Some of the prisoners have
improved the dull wall paper by using
their bright colored bedspreads as
tapestry wall covering. Among the
prints are many pictures of German
national figures, the most popular be-
ing Emperor William, Field Marshall
Won Hindenberg and Admiral Won
Spec, commander of the German feet
at the Falkland Islands engagement.
Very Comfortable
The quarters in the temporary
wooden huts within the enclosure are
equally comfortable. In the basement
of the building are the kitchens, din
ingrooms. schoolroom and i:s-
pensary. The officers who are paid
a few cents more than dollar a day
conduct their own commissaria, which
costs them about fifty cents daily. The
resulting menu provided by a typical
looking German chef is varied, and
sustaining.
Within the wire enclosure the pris-
oners are left alone, for except on
occasion visits of inspection, no
British uniforms are ever seen within
the gates. Lieutenant Colonel Sil
John Gladstone, commandant of the
camp, has made as few rules as pos
sible and left their enforcement to
the Germans themselves. These rules
are of the type to which military
forces on active service are usually
subject, and except that no liberty
is ever given beyond the bounds OF
the prison the officers suffer no great
er restrictions than their captors in
charge of the camp.
The prisoners who number one
hundred and twenty-five army and
navy officers with fifty-two enlisted
men as servant orderlies, are under
