I:ritish and German Prisoners to be
Chartered at The Hague,


The Hague. Netherlands. Nov. 25---
(Correspondencc) Seven to eight
thousand British prisoners-of-war
from Germany shortly are to take up
their quarters at The Hague and in
the neighborhood, constituting a
fresh strain on the sorely tried hous-
its envirOns. A like number of Ger
man prisoners from Great Britain are
to be quartered in other parts OF the
country, and preparations are afoot to
provide for them.
Both Great Britain and Germany
have sent over representatives to CO.
operate with the Netherlands author
tiles in the matter. Special hospital
aocomnodations are being provided
for the numerous invalids. as only a
!imitcd' number OF cases can be plac-
ed in existing civil and military hos
pitals. Tho British and Netherlands
Red Cross societies are joining efforts
in this task.
site, has been offered by the
city council Of the Hague, in the i'm
mediate neighbOrhood of the British
quarters, for the erection Of work
shops. Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation huts and the provision Of foot
ball and cricket grounds. Following
the example set in Switzerland, spe-
cial care is to be devoted to training
men for useful avocations. With
view to avoiding competition with
native labor, in accordance with rules
laid down by the authorities. the en-
ployment provided probably will take
the form of constructing movable
houses or cabins for use in Belgium
after the war, and making furniture
for the same purpose, work that is
already occupying many Belgian in
termed soldiers and refugees
TO accustom the German prisoners
to regular employment and give them
a certain amount of confidence in the
future. workshops are to be erected
in the Wolfhezen camp. Raw ma
terials are to be brought from Ger
many, where the finished work will
be in due course exported in order to
avoid competition with Netherlands
workmen. According to present plans.
some of the men will be put to work
on the land. while students will be
given facilities to continue their
studies at Netherlands universities.
