"The result was that the hoodgates

such energy that his assailants face

GERMAN DESCRIPTION OF
LIFE IN PRISON CAMP.

LIFE IN PRISON CAMP.
A correspondent OF the Cologne
Volkszeitung writes of life in the
prison camp for captured ally sol
diers at Buhlebon;
Il saw the prisoners running around
with much animation. They reminded
me Of schoolboys in a playground.
and Of sad or depressed faces / saw
no sign. Indeed. they have quite a
good time in the camp
IF there still be in neutral coun-
tries any persons who are anxious
about the condition of the civil
prisoners at Ruhleben. a glance at
the camp should set him at rest.
Wherever ! went, whether. in the hos
pital or elsewhere, the Englishmen
had made themselves extremely coy.
"One Of the apartments had the ap-
pearance of a good-class grocery
store. Reaching to the topmost walls
were rows on rows OF tins Of pre-
serves, jams, cakes, and every imag-
Unable dainty. Besides, this. the
prisoners have the free run of the
German kitchen, and well they avail
themselves of the privilege.
