Camps For War
Prisoners Are
Being Prepared
International News Service (:

WASHINGTON. March 20. - The
war department is perfecting plans
with the department OF the interior
for the use of several big reclama-
ton projects in the west as possible
internment camps for persons TO be
arrested upon the outbreak OF war.
The reclamation projects are de-
clared 10 be ideally situated. The
ones counted upon for camp use are
isolated in the sage brush desert.
They would require a minimum Of
guarding because il would be prac-
tically impossible for a person to
escape unaided across the miles Of
desert
Under the plan the several gate
ways Of the reclamation projects
would be securely guarded and all
trains leaving the camps would be
searched. Beyond the heavy guard
at such gateways a mounted patrol
would be sufficient, il is believed by
officials in charge Of the plans. TO
prevent the escape of informed per
sons into the open desert.
