rached the mark.
When the three lifeboats were about
five hundred yards. from the steaher
the men saw the submarine. 1t was
more than two miles from the Rochester
and at that range fired ten shots at
her. TWO of the shells were distinct
hits and the vessel went down quickly
Capt. Kokeritz said that the sub,na-
rine commander made no attempt to
communicate with them. I'VE soon
saws three submarines signaling to
one another. 1t was dark then and
when the shooting commenced the life
boats had separated.
My boat. which contained twenty
two occupants. came on without seeing
any ships until 10 o'clock Wednesday
morning. November Z. when We were
Picked up by Il British patrol near
Tory Island. The crew suffered ter
ribly from cold and some of the men
in the other boats died from exposure

NEGOTIATIONS WITH GERMANY
FOR WELFARE OF PRISONERS
United States Transmits Exhibit of Good
Treatment Accorded Enemy Detained
America-Pay for Little Work.

The principal detention camp is at
Fort Mcpherson. Georgia. where ap-
proxiamtely $50 war prisoners are heid
in custody of the War Department. At
Fort Oglethorpe. Georgia there are i6o
enemy aliens, who are not, strictly
speaking. prisoners of war. At Fort
Douglas. Utah, there are 517 prisoners
of war and so interned aliens.
Small detachments of other interned
aliens are now temporarily quartered
at Army posts throughout the country,
but their number is relatively small.
In addition the Department of Labor
has in custody several hundred Ger
mans. members of the crews of mer-
chant ships. This group is divided be-
tween the immigration station at Ellis
Island and a detention camp at Hot
Springs, n. c.
Prisoners in America.
Altogether there are 1854 actual
prisoners of war in custody of the War
Department and about 400 interned
enemy aliens held at the request of the
Department of Justice. OF this num-
ber about three score are located on
TaboSa Island, Panama. 1t is estimated
that Germany is now holding $50
sailors taken from American ships by
commerce raiders and other German
vessels. besides the first prisoners taken
from Gen. Pershing's forces.
A representative of the Swiss lega-
tion, the wartime diplomatic repre-
sentative of Germany in this country.
recently inspected the detention camps
at Forts Mcpherson and Oglethorpe.
Conditions at both camps were report
ed as satisfactory by the Swiss repre-
sentative.
The detained Germans. wherever To-
Gated in the United States, are consid-
erately treated and are not given on
erous tasks. The duties assigned are
strictly in accord with international
law. Their work has been confined to
construction of barracks, the cleaning
up of grounds about the camps and
light road work about their barracks.
Some of the German prisoners at Fort
McPherson are engaged in making toys
IN their ample spare time.
Reading and recreation facilities are
provided. Photographs collected from
the several detention camps show Ger
man prisoners going through outdoor
gymnastlc exercises and staging anna
teur plays on improvised stages and
In the recreation rooms. The quarters for
German prisoners are much like those
provided in the cantonments for the
American soldiers.
The set of photographs transmitted
to the German government shows both
exterior and interior views of the de-
tention camps. The sleeping quarters
are roomy and clean and the sanitary
arrangements, from kitchens to bath
rooms. are modern and not unlike those
provided by the United States at the
National Army cantonments
Evening star., 1917-11-11

The United States has opened negotia-
tfons with Germany for an agreement
to govern the treatment of prisoners OF
war taken by either nation. This Is being
done with the hope of securing the best
possible conditions for Americans taken
prisoner on the battle front. and to show
Germany how well German prisoners in
the United States are being treated.
Already. through the Red Cross at
Geneva. the United States has begun
forwarding food and otner necessaries
to Americans held in Germany, of whom
there are now more than 100. 1t is real
tied that, as the American troops IN
crease in numbers on tho battle front.
more prisoners are bound to find their
way to the German prison camps
Prisoners Fed Last.
A nation pinched for food for itself
probably will feed it's enemy prisoners

hardship of prison camps Will: AT the
same time. alleviate the sunerinS OF

Recently one of the prisoners, sending
a letter to his prospective wife in Ger,
many. wrote that the pay ne wouid
accumulate during his Imprisonment
would not only permit him to retlre
from the navy. but would set them up
in a little business as well.
Photographs on Exhibit.
Photographs showing the comfortable
surroundings of interned German pris-
oners in this country have been fof-
warded to Germany by the War De-
partment through the State Depart
ment and a neutral agent. They are
intended to show that interned Ger
mans are well treated by the United
states. and to reveal the expectation OF
the United States that similar consid-
Grafton will be shown American SOL
diers and sailors who may be captured
by Germany.
Two classes Of German prisoners are
detained in this country. One is com
prised of German sailors taken INTO
custody when the United States in
termed various vessels at the beginning
of the war. The other class is COM
prised Of enemy aliens. civilians, who
have been arrested and are now being
detained under governmental feSula-
lions for various reasons.
