BRITISH KNOCKOUT
FOR OLD HIGH COST
Prisoners Being Housed and
Fed for 50 Each Per
Week.

DOUGLAS, Isle Of Man, July TO-
Correspondence of The Associated
Press)-As an experiment in commun.
al feeding, the Brithish Governments
camp for war prisoners at Knockaloe
is the biggest and most successful
thing Of its kind ever attempted in
the British Isles, Here $4,000 pris.
oners are housed and fed at a figure
which averages only 50 per man per
week.
The capital cost of the camp, which
was built on farm land in the north
of the Isle OF Man, was S1,250,0 900.
This figure covers the building of all
the barracks and administrative Off.
ces, kitchens, streets, sewage, water
and electricity plants, telephones, and
all the other essentials of modern
city. On basis of a population of
$4,000 the cost of building this priss
on camp city figures out at about $50
for each inhabitant.
The question OF food as related to
health has been a prime considerat.
ion with the British officials from the
start. Our dietary, explained the

to be wondered at when it is remem.

some of the finest chefs OF the big

The health of the prisoners bears
testimony to the adequacy Of the food

only 70 deaths in two years-a yearly
