To Entertain the Lonely.

The influx of thousands Of men and
women to Washington to engage in
war work led to the formation Of the
society. A number of these are not
provided with the proper entertain
ment. one Of the reasons being that
prices are prohibitive. 1t is also main
1ained by organizers Of the society
that newcomers. because Of the crowd
ed conditions of the city, experience
consequences in their FREQ hours. Suit
able entertainment provided by artists
Offering worthwhile programs would
help alleviate conditions.
It is planned to hold organization
meetings every Sunday morning. and
the entertainment would be given Sum

Several halls have already been

Dutch Correspondent Writes Of
Visit to Americans in German
Prison Camps.

THE HAGUE, August 6-The Dutch
correspondent OF the Nieuws Courant
Of this city has written an account Of
. visit made. in company with an
American correspondent. to American
prisoners Of war at camps in Darn
stadt, Limburs and oiessen- The
number OF American prisoners. he
says in . letter dated July "a. at
Coblenz, is mot particularly large" in
any Of these camps. and none of the
prisoners was an odicer. They were
mostly national guardsmen. he re.
ports-hne, strappins fellows. he calls
them-the majority Of whom had
been captured in early June near
Chateau Thierry, . few belonging to
mixed detachments, which had been
stationed not far from Verdun. some
had arrived in France as tar back
as last November, while others had
reached this side in February.
The Americans, continues the cor
respondent, have not yet been edt-
Gated up to the highest estate Of
French, who, for instance. have quite
brilliant orators to convey requests
or complaints to the prison authori-
ties. The Americans, however, he
+ comments, may De enV1eo 1or their
weekly parcels from the Red Cross,
containing peace-time luxuries, with
everything Of excellent quality. The
bread they receive, he says. will
shortly, for practical reasons. be
given In tho form of biscuits.
The question Of the prisoners cloth
ing has not yet been regulated. and
the correspondent reports that they
wore caps Of the various entente
armies, and sometimes French trou-
sers with British tunics.
The correspondent seems amazed
at the fact that Of every score Of
Americans with whom he talked
there were always some Of European
birth With the exception Of an en-
gtneer, q law student and a book
keeper. none belonged to the profess
sional classes.
A few Of the men. the writer de-
c1ares, complained that they had been
rushed forward to face = wfthering
machine gun fire, while one badly
wounded man In hospital said he
had been wounded by the artillery
fre from his own side.
It may be questioned whether the
correspondent 10 spont4neously re-
sponsfhle for the statement he na11ees
that none, Of the complain
ed Of M-tre&tment by their captors,
and that no exceestve sympathy
seemed to exist between the Amert-
cans and the British.
