the German officials commenced systematic
wedding out; women and children we're re-
leased, and on two days each week train ac-
commodation was provided for specified num-
her to leave for Holland or Switzerland Men
who were over military age or unht for SER
vice were also allowed to leave if they had no
civil or military title But woe betde the man
whose vanity had induced him to add some
courtesy title to his name! A man Of seventy,
deaf and nearly blind, was held because some
fifty years before he had been colonel in some
show regiment. However, after the adjust
ment of matters things were not so difficult;
those who had money TO pay for accOmmoda-
ton were allowed sufficient liberty to spend it.
In some places women and children remained
behind because the husband and father could
not leave; those who did were not interned but
were required to report daily, or in some cases
twice daily, to the local police. Even Germany,
which in other respects was prepared for war
like very complete and perfect machine, with
every part oiled and ready to move when the
Kaiser pressed the button-even Germany did
not have adequate provision for the innocent
alien enemies within her borders. For Eng
land and Austria be it said that no women
and children have ever been interned even for
a day.
Gradually all the countries at war have
adopted similar system of taking care of the
interned civilians, the camps being similar TO
those of the military detention camps. The
biggest camp in Germany, just outside Berlin,
is in essentials arranged Ike the big civilian
camp at Knockaloe, in the Isle Of Man, or the
military camp in Austria, where there are co.
600 Russian soldiers. 1t is in this same camp
near Berlin that all Americans remaining will
be informed if war T. declared, for it is fore
gone conclusion that Americans will be in
termed since Germany has now interned prac-
tically every male citizen Of an enemy nation
still in the country.
In times of peace this camp is racetrack
Being surrounded by a high fence, it is like
walled town Of the olden time, the difference
being that the old towns had walls to keep the
enemy out, and in this the wall is TO keep the
enemy in. Men who have money are allowed
to draw a specified sum weekly, which can be
spent for "luXures" at the camp canteen. At
first German prisoners in England were per-
mtted to receive sausages and other dainties
from Germany, but since the censor discovered
that a sausage or cigar might easily be used
to cover uncensored mail. that even the ker-
nels of an English walnut might be removed
