HUNGER STRIKE
AT. FR0NGACH,
NORTH WALES

Dublin, November 16.-1t has just
come to light that there has been a
hunger strike on large scale in the
Frongach Camp, North Wales, where
the Irish prisoners are detained. The
strike was due to the desire of the
prisoners who were wanted for mill
tary service. In order to shield their
comrades in misfortune, the general
body of the Irishmen refused to answer
their names at roll call. For this re-
fusal 200 of them were punished by
being confined in South Camp, which
is so much dreaded on account of its
insanitary condition and its low-lying
situation. 1t was in this unhealthy
camp that several prisoners fell sick
and had to be removed to buildings
not so detrimental to health and
strength.
The 300 prisoners, who were penal
lied by being sent to South Camp,
retaliated by going on hunger strike.
They went without food from Wednes.
day to Saturday. On Saturday morn
ing the prison doctor certified that 109
of the prisoners were in very weak
condition, and Father Stafford, the
Catholic chaplain, then interviewed. AT
Father Stafford's request the men con
sented to take them food on the con
dition that they would not be asked
for their numbers or names or pun
ished in any way. This guarantee was
given by the prison authorities. and
the 200 men were returned forthwith
to the North Camp.
To the great surprise of Father Stat
ford and everybody concerned, it he
came known OH Monday that letters
and registered parcels, sent to the pris
oners, would not be given them. After
further consultation among the prison
! officials, the letters and parcels were
given the following day to the pris
oners.
