GERMAN PRISONERS IN
CAMP ARE SATISFIED
CORRESPONDENT VISITS FRENCH
MILITARY PRISON-INMATES
ARE ORDERLY LOT.

London, Aug. 26.-At Leigh, in the
County of Lancashire, I unexpected
ly came upon an internment camp
for German privates and, showing
my papers, had no difficulty in get
ting permission to visit It..
Leigh, although called a camp, has
no likeness whatever to the tented
field. The camp" ! found, is real
ly a weaving mill, which had been
finished but not yet used when the
war broke out and which was then
taken over by the government. A
few slight alterations have made 1t
into a very comfortable, airy bar
racks for 1000 prisoners of war.
That was the number of men which
found there, and as they all were
taken in the early stages of the war,
they were almost all men of splendid
physique. A very well nourished
crowd they looked, and those whom
| asked what they thought of the
food they received all declared it ex-
cellent and plentiful, though of
course. rather monotonous.
10 They declared that they got more
meat than they ever had been used
to before, and certainly more than
they got in the German army, where
the ration is about three-eighths of a
pound per man.
The prisoners came from all parts
of Germany, and there were many
of the famous Brandenburgers among
them. The average age of these men
was perhaps a little over 25 years
and there were not more than a doz-
en- men above 40 in the camp.
The commander of the camp, Col.
Blagrove. told me dicipline is very
easily maintained and that as mat
ter of fact the prisoners themselves
looked after that.
From the very first" he said, 81
have encouraged the sense of respon-
sibility and authority in their own
noncommissioned officers, who are
really splendid lot of men.
81 have allowed the feldwebels
(senior noncommissioned ofiicers)
certain small privileges and they
more than make up for this by keep
ing things running smoothly. Not
a single case of bullying has been re-
ported to me from the day the camp
was opened.
1.-THE prisoners have their own ed
vocational committees, and many of
the men have taken up the study of
English Others, less ambitious,
work at wood carving or play crick-
ct, a game of which they knew little
or nothing before they came here.
The men have also organized a fine
band, and we have two theaters,
where performances are given three
times a week"
Nearly all the men were in the
habit of receiving remittances from
home. generally in small weekly
sums, but many of them have now
written to their families that they
get everything they want and that ii
is absolutely unnecessary to send
them anything. Food parcels have
become a thing of the past entirely
which is of course quite natural, con-
sidering the scarcity and high prices
in Germany.
About 100 of the prisoners have
taken up gardening and have been
given small plots of ground, on which
some exceptionally fine vegetables
are raised.

Constipation the Father of Many Ills.
OF the numerous ills that affect
humanity large share start with
constipation. Keep your bowels reg
ular and they may be avoided. When
laxative is needed take Chamber
lain's Tablets. They not only move
the bowels but improve the appetite
and strengthen the digestion. OBJ

hind the war is now so strong that
the public would think nothing OF

throw away at the peace parleys the
fruits of our stupendous war eff

possible 1t is estimated that it will
take at least thirty days to complete
the work. A pair of improved hoist

Except for the fact that the coal
scales in the tipple were destroyed
and new scales have to be installed
and adjusted, the work of rebuilding
would not require as much time. On

GERMAN SUBMARINE PLACED
ON EXHIBITION IN THE
THAMES RIVER.
CREW DIVES OVERHEARD
Set on Explosives And Plunge Unto
Water but Mine-Layer Is Taken
To Britain.

London, Aug. ga curious Ger

about to lay mines off the East

In the Thames and viewed by hun
dreds of thousands of sightseers.
This is not one of the fast. big
U-boats which have preyed on ship
ping, but is a little fellow without
guns or torpedo tubes, built solely
for mine laying.
Some weeks ago n British destroy
er was out exercising OFF the coast.
when she sighted this submarine.
the German boat was in difficulties.
II was misty weather. The destroy
err drew close and the English sea-
men noticed that all the crew of the
U-boat seemed to be on deck.
The British commander called out
for the Germans to surrender. The
latter hauled down their flag and
put their hands above their heads.
At a word from their commander,
they jumped into the water and swan
for dear life away from the ship.

Internal explosions followed and
nj the last and heaviest. cascade of
hammocks and other debries shot out
of the open coming tower to a height
of forty feet That was this vent for
the explosive forces probably saved
the ship, but as it was she took
good deal of water.
Altho the submarine had laid no
mines, two had been released by the
force Of the explosions and were foul
of the bottom of the vessel. Contact
with the horns" which jutted out
all around the mines, would have set
off enough high explosive to wreck
a battleship.
A young British officer now per-
formed a highly difficult and danger
our task. He went down in div
ing suit and made the mines safe by
detaching the detonators, afterward
securing the mines in a safe posi-
ton.

floating and 210 submerged. She
submerged by blowing out certain
tanks and by the use of hydroplanes.
Her length is ITO feet.
Mines Cost $500 Each.
Amidship is the coming tower,
with periscope and wireless mast.
Forward of the coming tower are
six chutes or air locks in which the
mines are stored, two to a chute.
The mines were discharged electri-
cally from the coming tower.
These mines weigh 1900 pounds
loaded and cost about $500 each.
When one of their horns is Jared

interior is broken, letting loose

the mine explodes with terrific vio-

The craft is propelled by Diesel

ulators charged before leaving port.
She crawls along at a speed of only
six knots.
Her officers and crew numbered
sixteen persons in all and they were
very uncomfortably crowded when
their boat was under water.
