ENGLISH PRISON TO
 BECOME BARRACKS

Correspondence Associated Press)
 Plymouth, England, Feb. 2S-The famous Dartmoor prisons at Prince town, on the Prince of Wales Duchy estate, are to be emptied of their con- vict inhabitants and turned over to the war department as barracks for a regiment of conscientious objectors, who will be employed on some ambi- tious agricultural schemes which the Prince of Wales is to institute on his property.
 Dartm0or prisons are of peculiar interest to Americans, for they were built just over century ago to ac- commodate American war prisoners captured in the war of 1872, as we'll as a few French prisoners from the Napoleonic campaigns. The American prisoners, chiefly sailors captured at sea, were landed at Plymouth and in- termed at Princetown until the end of the war.
 Twice in their history as war es- tablishment the Dartmoor prisons were the scene of serious mutinies one by the French and another by the American prisoners. Both were due to complaints about the bread rations issued to the prisoners, and in the more serious outbreak by the Aneri- cans seven of the mutineers were shot down and great many wounded.
