In England Where Officers Of
the German Army Are in
Custody.

| Correspondence Of the Associated Press.)
LONDON, Jan. 17.-Next to Downing
ton Hall, Holypoft is the most import
ant German officers prison in England
and for the first time the authorities
have permitted unofficial neutrals to
visit the camp.
Most OF the prisoners have their
quarters in the large building OF the
JIolyport army preparatory school,
but with an increase in their NUMBERS
1t has been necessary to supplement
this with temporary wooden structures
built in the school yard. The chief
school building was erected by Charles
II as residence for his farorite, Nell
Gwynne. 1t has been restored FOR
school purposes, and, while architec-
turally ugly in appearance, forms q
comfortable roomy building for It's
present use. The temporary huts
| are built close about the main build
ing and the whole group. which does
not occupy more than three acres. Is
surrounded by fence in the form OF
barbwire entangiements. The COM
lmandant Of the prison with his assist
ants are quartered In large brick
residence at the gateway Of the school
grounds which probably served as q
lodge when the place was used as a
country home. The company OF SOL
diers guarding the prisoners occupy
the stables, and laundries Of the school.
These quarters are In the rear Of the
barbwire enclosure, which Is entirely
devoted to the quarters Of the mpris-
oned officers, and their orderlies.
Big Athletic Field.
When the party Of neutral cores
pondents arrived to inspect the camp
the prisoners were preparing, to leave
the house for the eighteen-acre athletic
field. Twice weekly the prisoners are
compelled to seek this field where
they take whatever form OF exercise
they desire. Every day the prisoners
have the privilege Of using the, field
for two and one half hours, but the
half hour period twice weekly Is COM
pulsory. In the summer the tennis
courts were in almost constant use,
but this form Of sport at which the
Germans were particularly keen, has
now ceased on account Of the weather.
Football and hockey are now played
with the officers prison orderlies tax
ing a lively interest in the erst named
game at which they have become quite
adept.
A few minutes before the arrival
Of the recreation hour an armed pa
troll Is stationed about the wire fence
which encloses the field, The ofh-
GERS then stroll from the house II

place within the prison. Differences
Of rank and social position are sharp
ly accentuated and only broken down
! in the event Of a general celebration
OF some sort. Among the prisoners
is a number of navy officers and
cleayerage between the army and
navy is particularly apparent in the
relations Of the officers.
Brilliant Garrison Uniforms.
The visit to the camp was made on
wintry afternoon when the vivid
and picturesque uniforms OF the Of
ficers gave touch of color to the dis
NAL surroundings. The presence
among the officers Of SO many brill
liant garrison uniforms is account
ed for by the fact that whenever q
German reserve officer was seized
from ship enroute to Germany, he
was permitted to send home for his
uniform. The officers actually cap
tured in action wear the usual Ger
man field grey uniform while the
naval officers, most Of whom were
captured at the battle of the Falk-
land Islands, wear blue uniforms
which differ little in appearance from
those Of their captors.
While the officers were In the re-
creation ground the visitors were con-
Quoted through their quarters. The
bathing department Is well equipped
with bath tubs from the school, which
while hardly mans size are plenti-
fully equipped with hot water. Dur
ing the summer the officers had the
use Of the school swimming tank,
but as there is no means of heat
ing the water, the winter has COM
PEELED them to give up this pleasure.
Lounging Rooms.
The ground floor Of the house con-
tains several large rooms used as
smoking and lounging rooms by the
officers but these are seldom occu-
pied, as the prisoners seem to prefer
the small sitting rooms. which they
have partitioned of from their bed
rooms by the use Of screens. The

second and third floors are given up
to bed rooms In which FROM one to

crate heaped with coal each room
has one or more coal oil stoves and
with every window closed these
rooms seemed sitting to the visitors
who had become accustomed to the
inadequate heating of English hous-
es. The bedrooms are furnished with
very comfortable cots, each Of which
is covered with a clean bedspread.
Some Of the naval prisoners have
equipped their rooms like the state
rooms Of a warship with one bunk

Jeffrey Quad Solves
Army Transport Problem

Just below Casas Grandes. in Mex
leo, Is the "Hairpin Turn" below
which the United States army officers
expected to revert to the four-mule
army escort wagons for supply trains.
To their great delight. the Jeffrey
Quads were able to make the turn
with ease and safety. due to the four
Winchester feature OF the Jeffrey
Quad. which not only permits the
short turn. but eliminates the danger
OF making II. All the driver had TO
do was to watch the front wheels OF
his truck and keep them on the mar
row trail. The rear wheels took care
OF themselves, for they tracked with
tho front wheels.
This Is one OF the reasons why a
number OF Jeffrey Quads are supply
ing the advanced postS of the United

Wheat. Brakes should always be APP

necessary to pull UP your car within a

is the proper manipulation OF the clutch.

should be treated properly.
