better food than the German popula.
tion had seen for years, and better
clothing.
THE effect was irresistible, and
spread over all Germany. 1t became
a source Of embarrassment to the
German officials, and we were even
told we were sending more supplies
than We're necessary and asked to re,
duce the quantity We were Informed
officially that the prisoners received
50 much food that they were using
their canned vegetables to play pass,
BALI with. OF course, using a can of
corn to toss around a circle instead OF
ball didn't hurt The contents any
but it made a profound impression on
the Germans to see good food used in
such Il apparently reckless manner.
Secured Better Treatment.
Because the American prisoners
were sent food, clothing and toilet
articles to enable them to maintain
their health and selfrespect, they
were respected by the Germans. On
the contrary, italian and Russian
prisoners who received no supplies
were starved and in rags as a conse-
Quence and were treated like dogs"
Bands and 0rchestras were organ,
lied among the American prisoners,
and entertainments given. Mr.. Den
nett tells of band music, sent from
America, including such selections as :
"Just Like Washington Crossed the
Delaware, PerShing viii Cross the
Rhine" Its a Long Way to Berlin
But Wen Get There" etc.
Rather than deprive the American
prisoner bands Of these pieces, the
titles were clipped off and the music
forwarded. Thus the German guards
and prison officials were serenaded
by Yanks with these tunes, and re-
turning prisoners were amazed to
learn the words sung TO them at
home

Another point of disagreement has
been In regard to the termination OF the

be released II they receive orders detach-
ing them from Annapolis. Landlords
have held that they cannot be expected
to take this risk. but have usually per-
mitted officers called away under such

officer unable to do this has, Of course,

the permanent kind will be erected at
the same place. The permanent quar-
tiers Of the academy have not for long
time been able to accommodate all the
officers of the station. and II lie claimed
that rents in the city of Annapolis are
exorbitapt.
The inadequate accommodations for
officers at .theSacademy are due in part to
the fact thar the Federal Government
did not acquire all the land intended
when. the academy was enlarged about
the time of the Standardization war
and the number of quarters was cur
tailed, and partly to the fact that the
number Of midshipmen, and consequently
officers, has been increased SO fast that
accommodations could not be provided.
1t is Understood that the academy
grounds will be brought In a short time
to the size originally contemplated by
adding an area now formed by three
blocks in the city of Annapolis. and that
some additional residences for officers
will be built. Even this however, will
not afford an adequate supply OF quar-
ters and more must be built near the
Marine Barracks and hospital, across
College Creek and at some distance from
the regular academy grounds and build
