Camp Davis today, and will be
ouartered in the recently erected
stockade in Maple Hill, Area A,

E. Potts, camp commander.
The prisoners, all selected for
GOOD conduct and willingness to
work at base prison war camp,
will be put to work Immediately
at numerous and varied tasks
which do not contribute directly
to the prosecution Of the war.
Two weeks ago yesterday, Felix
A. Scroggs, manager of the local
office of United States Employ
ment Service. stated that there
was a possibility Of getting some
additional prisoners of war assign
ed to this area, as the War Depart
ment seemed very anxious that all
prisoners of war be put to work
as soon as possible.
No Trouble
Scroggs also revealed, contrary
to many rumors in this vicinity
at that time, that there had been
no trouble what so ever with the
Germans. There has been no es-
capes or attempted escapes by the
men, and we are certainly proud OF
this record, he said.
Monday, of this week, law en-
torcement officers and officials Of
the prisoner of war camp on the
Carolina Beach road joined in a
blanket denial Of the hundred Of
rumors to the effect that German
prisoners are escaping from the
heavily fortified camp.
