went to the additional trouble and ex- pense of building the barracks for the intelligents.' "
 Excellent gravel-c covered streets run between the rows of buildings, and a small field railway connects all points needing that means for facilitating transport The entire camp is lighted electrically, has it's own water SUD- ply and sewer system, an elaborate system for fire protection, ornamental and vegetable gardens, and resembles generally a social settlement camp, an illusion which is quickly dispelied, however, by the presence of the guards and the ubiquitous wire fence.
 Expense of Maintenance.
 An officer connected with the finan- c;al administration was of the opinion that so far the Austrian government had disbursed considerably more than 23.OO0,OOO crowns for the Klein Muenchen camp, and that the keeping of Russian prisoners, had entalled an expenditure of approximately 1,loo,- 0OO,O0O crowns, and in Austrla-Hun- gary there are today thirty other prison camps.
 The recurrency of diseases is said to be connected with the failure of many of the prisoners to do the best Tor themselves hygienically. Though re- cent arrivals of prisoners showed no case of cholera, five cases developed about two weeks ago. One of the men died; four are on the road to recov- cry. Typhus and typhoid also appear occasionally and tuberculosis is ever- present, because many of the prison CTS were afflicted with the disease in a dormant state before they were draft ed into the Russian army. On Janu- ary 12 Camp Klein -Muenchen had 34 patients of this class.
 Very often Russians arc brought in whose wounds, received in actions prior to the one in which they were captured, need attention. On the day on which the Associated Press corre- spondent visited the camp close to hundred of such cases had either been disposed Of by operations or were un- fer observation. Usually, the trouble is due to a bullet of small fragment of shell in. the patients body, which some Russian surgeon apparently thought best to leave undisturbed.
 Of S0,000 men who have been in the camp, 5s0 have died. Most of the latter came to the camp sick or infected. They are buried in a pine grove. Graves are marked with a 1 black wooden cross bearing number. l The cross is later replaced by head ] stone cast of concrete. This head 1 stone is given the number formerly l carried by the cross. In the mortuary i chapel erected on the cemetery book 1 is kept in which by means of this 1 number the name of the dead prison CT may be found.

 It may be stated that while the daily bread ration of a, Russian prisoner of war is 500 grammes that of the Aus trian civilian is only 210 grammes and that of the Austro- Hungarian soldier at the front 400 grammes. Both how ever are able to get more meat than the Russian prisoner gets.
 The appearance of the Russian pris- oners of war did not indicate that they did not get enough to eat.
 Many attempts have been made. by officers to escape. The last one was undertaken by two room mates who dug a tunnel from the floor of their room and might have gotten out of the

RUSSIANS HELD
 IN AUSTRIA A. P. Correspondent Visits PriS- OnerS' Camp
ecorrespondence of The Associated Pressl

Correspondence of The Associated Press)
 Linz, Austria, Jan. 12.-Major Gen ereal Clemens Notes, commander of the Klein Muenchen camp for Rus sian military prisoners, looked over the motley array of men in Russian uniforms and Austrian suits of a semi military cut, who had lined up along the wall of the detention barracks which in the camp named houses Rus sian prisoners who have made at temptS to escape or who have violated camp rules
 M ost of these men," said the com mander to The Associated Press cor respondent, have been guilty of breaches of discipline. There are few however, who have made att tempts to get away. One of them has tried it twice."
 With that General Notes told one of his officers to bring over a certain man. The prisoner, a rather hand some young fellow of about 25, 5,stepped before the commander, halted with sharp thud of his heels, and then raised his hands to his cap, at atten- ton.
 They brought you hack,' com mented the grizzled general.
 
 The Russian said: "Da, with. the -faintest smile on his face
 General Nottes too, smiled.
 No doubt, you found it cold out in the mountains" he said. Tor the next sixty days you can think it over in here, and then you may be of a different turn of mind. Russia is a 1 long way off from here at present, and l wish to warn you that the next ] time you get away from the camp in l your Russian uniform, you may not 1 fare so we'll They may see you some | where, recognize you and do you 1 harm Our peasants don't like Rus sians. any too we'll just now.'
 Escape When You Can.'
 The fact that the Russian soldier was what may best be translated as hands of the Austrians gave him the right to reply to the comment of the camp commander.
 He said something in Russian.
 Very well'' said General Notes Please yourself! You say it is your right and duty to escape, if you can, That grant you. At the same time 1 1t is my duty to keep you here. I will see to it. that you are kept here" AS he walked on, General Notes eatted the Russian on the cheek Don't be foolish,'' he said. Its

constant improvement of it's wir streets and many gardens keep many of the prisoners employed. Severa- hundred men work in the shoe factor, and repair shop. A large overshoe made of straW-rOpe held in shape by ordinary wire, is made in one of the shops. The shoe is said to have prov en it's value in the trenches. In ad- d1t1on to protecting the shoe of the soldier 1t keeps the snow away from the leather and in so doing prevents many cases of frozen feet.
 Make Own Furniture
 There is a carpenter shop. The crude furniture needed by the prison CTS is made in this. A wood turning and cutting shop produces such ar ticles as inlaid wooden ciger and cigar cites cases, jewelry boxes, hand mir TOT back and frames, and toys. Much of this. is we'll done. It is sold in the open market. One-third of the money realized goes to a fund with which the prisoners buy the expensive woods needed for this sort of work new tools and other accessories. Another third the prisoners may spend as they think

 Much labor is needed to manage the camp. Several hundred Russians at tend to the wounded and sick in the hospitals and convalescent barracks. them are druggists and such "jnt G11lpPntS'' NyiIIinor n be- l come nurses. The orderlies too are Russians
 Efforts on the part of the Austrian officers to find something to do for the men leads often to ludicrouS situa- l tions. One of the officers said that at l another prison camp such a dearth of | labor had resulted at one time that it 1 became necessary to move q large | quantity of brick several thousand | yards piece by piece each prisoner 1 one brick at a time. It seems | that the men could not be induced to ] take exercise. It was procured for | them in this manner.
 Prisoners Complain.
 Many of the prisoners of war were asked how they fared in the camp. All of them complained. Some said
  he food was always the same. Others insisted that there was not enough Of t. Nothing definite could be learned of this highly debatable question: Austrian officers said that the Rus 'ians ate as we'll as did the Austrian soldier when in garrison.
 General Notes pointed out that a prison camp was not the place w nf vi 'trats could have their wishes met to atisfa ctiOn. He said to the Associa- ed Press correspondent that his roops in Galicia would have thought themselves in Heaven had they at any ime last year been well fed and housed as were the Russian prisoners The Entente wanted to starve the Central Powers he remarked and if in ,arrying out such a policy it's prison ITS of war were getting smaller loaf

On his way to Triest he travelled at night, hid during the day, and must have helped himself to food in a manner as yet unexplained" General Notes has been spending many months at the Russian front in Galicia, and like so many others of his countrymen is a thoroughly good sport. The daring of the man inn
 pressed him very much.
 At Prison Camp.
 The Klein Muenchen prison camp IS huge esta blishment. It covers
 and area of about five square miles,
 and its barracks are capable of hous- ing 500 men without crowding So far about 80,000 Russians and several thousand Italians have been quartered there, since the establishment of the camp in January, 1915, At present there a~e in the camp BOA Russian of hcers and about 1000 men, the re- 1nalnder having been detailed to do work on the Austrian farms
 The barracks are large wooden structures, covered on the outside with thlck tar paper, painted white Above the plne-board floor, two stories of platforms, eight platforms for each building, provide the space upon ] "hlch the straw pallets of the men l are spread out at night. Sixty men are so accommodated To the rear of the oarrack is the dining room, in which the prisoners gather for social purposes when fatigue" or work is over
 The barracks described are intend- "a for the ordinary Russian, the peas int, who, as rule, is wholly illiterate. nd with whom the Intelligent" does lot want to associate. The experi- nee has been that the two classes do lot mix well, and rather than have constant strife between the prisoners. he Austrian government decided to separate them.
 Better Barracks Available. .
 For the 'Intelligenz Klasse,'' a diff fertct sort of barracks has been built It resent bles the common barracks but instead of having eight sleeping platforms. it has two floors, upon which a sort of wooden field bed has been placed. This arrangement wastes 3 great deal of space. Only fifty "in- telligents" can be housed in a build ing of the usual size
 We try to satisfy, so far as we can, the wishes of the prisoners said General Notes. "In our own army we do not know such distinctions. We have officers and privates, and no oth- er class. But with the Russians it seems to be different. The 'intelE- gents are usually people of some re- finement to whom the constant asso- citation with the untutored peasant would undoubtedly be a great hard ship. One has to bear in mind that men in prison camps must associate with one another more closely than anywhere else. It is not our business to either reform Russia's social struc- ture, nor to make the enforced stay in our prison camps more irksome than confinement naturally is. So we
