PRISONERS ARE WELL TAKEN CARE OF IN ENGLAND Donning lon Hall, Erecled by Charles 11. as Home For His Favorites Being l T sed London, Jan. 18.—(Correspondence »f the Associated Press) Next to Donnington Hall, Holyport is the most important German officers' prison In England and for the first time the authorities have permitted unofficial neutrals to visit the camp. Most of the prisoners liave their quarters in the large building of the I lolyport army preparatory school, but with an increase in their num bers it has been necessary to supple ment this with temporary wooden structures built in the school yard. The chief school building was erected by Charles 11 as a residence for his favorite Nell Gw\ nne. II has been restored for school purposes, and. while architecturally ugly in appear ance, forms a comfortable roomy building for its present use. The temporary huts are built close about the main building and the whole group, which does not occupy more than three acres, is surrounded by a fence in the form of barbwlre entanglements. The commandant of the prison with his assistants are quartered ill a large brick residence at tlie gateway of the school grounds which probably served as a lodge when the place was used as a country home. The company of soldiers guarding the prisoners occupy the •ilables, and laundries of the school. These quarters are in the rear of the barbwiro enclosure, which is en tirely devoted to the quarters of the imprisoned officers and their orderlies. Must Exercise When the party of neutral corre spondents arrived to inspect the camp the prisoners were preparing to leave the house for the elghteen-acre athletic Held. Twice weekly the prisoners are compelled to seek this Held where they take whatever form "f exercise they desire. Every day the prisoners have the privilege of using; the field for two and one-halt' hours, but the half-hour period twice weekly is compulsory. In the sum mer the tennis courts were in almost constant use, but this form of sport at which the Germans were parti cularly keen, has now ceased on ac count. of the weather. Football and hockey are now played with the offi cers' prison orderlies taking a lively interest in the first named game at which they have become quite adept. A few minutes before the arrival of th%, recreation hour an armed patrol is stationed about the wire fence which encloses the field. The officers then stroll from the house in groups through the main gate of the prison and down a lane between a row of sentries to the field. Later their orderlies appear under escort of an armed guard. Tiie groups that reach the field remain intact, and according to the British officers in charge, this same grouping takes place within tlio prison. Differences of rank and so cial position are sharply accentuated and only broken down in the event of a general celebration of some sort. Among the prisoners are a number of navy officers and cleavage between the army and navy is particularly ap parent in the relations of the officers. The visit to the camp was made on a wintry afternoon when the vivid and picturesque uniforms of the offi cers gave touch of color to the dis mal surroundings. The presence among the officers of so many bril liant garrison uniforms is accounted for by the fact that whenever a Ger man reserve officer was seized from a ship enroute to Germany, he was permitted to send home for his uni form. The officers actually captured in action wear the usual German field gray uniform while the naval officers, most of whom were captured at the battle off the Falkland Islands, wear blue uniforms which differ little in appearance from those of their cap tors. Building Well Equipped While the officers were in the recre ation ground the visitors were con ducted through their quarters. The bathing department is well equipped with bath tubs from the school, which while hardly man's size are plentifully supplied with hot water. During the summer the officers had the use of the school swimming tank, but as there is no means of heating the water, the winter has compelled them to give up this pleasure. The ground floor of the house con tains several large rooms used as smoking and loungingvooms by the officers, but these are seldom occupied as the prisoners seem to prefer the small sittingrooms. which they have partitioned off from their bedrooms •by the use of screens. The second arid third floors are given up to bed rooms In which from one to six offi cers sleep. Besides the open grate heaped with coal each room has one or more coal oil stoves and with every window closed these rooms seemed stifling to the visitors who had be come accustomed to the inadequate heating of English houses. The bed rooms are furnished with very com fortable cots, each of which is' cover ed with a clean bedspread. Some of the naval prisoners have equipped GIRLS!

Most of the rooms are orna mented with attractive prints many of which are the handicraft of the lodgers. Some of the prisoners have improved the dull wall paper by using: their bright colored bedspreads as tapestry wall covering. Among the prints are many pictures of German national figures, the most popular be ing Emperor William, Field Marshall von llindenberg and Admiral von Spee, commander of the German fleet at the Falkland Islands engagement. Very Comfortable The quarters in the temporary wooden huts within the enclosure are equally comfortable. In the basement of the building are the kitchens, din ingrooms, schoolroom and dis pensary. The officers who are. paid a few cents more than a dollar a day conduct their own commissaria, which costs them about fifty cents daily. The, resulting menu provided by a typical looking German chef is varied, and sustaining. Within the wire enclosure the pris oners are left alone, for, except on occasion visits of inspection, no British uniforms are ever seen within the gates. Lieutenant Colonel Sir John Gladstone, commandant of the comp, has made as few rules as pos sible and left their enforcement to the Germans themselves. These rules are of the type to which military forces on active service are usually subject, and except that no liberty is over given beyond the bounds of the prison the officers suffer no great er restrictions than their captors in charge of the camp. The prisoners, who number one hundred and twenty-five army and navy officers with fifty-two enlisted men as servant orderlies, are under the command of their senior officer, Commander Bochamer, who was sec ond in command of the cruiser Gnei senau. which went down in the Falk land Islands battle. Sharp and cease less guard, however, is kept over the prisoners, for at the end of the war every German officer prisoner must make a statement of what efforts he made to escape, and the British cap tors do their prisoners the honor of believing that no chance will be over , looked by them to get away. Not a single prisoner has succeeded in do ing so thus far, but the guards dis i covered a tunnel which had pro , I gressed eleven feet of the sixty yards | necessary to reach underneath the barbwire fence. Outside of this fence armed guards are on constant watch, j and, apparently careless of the Zep pelin peril, the place is brilliantly .illuminated at night. ! The visitors were permitted to talk |to a number of the prisoners and , | among them the Associated Press cor- I respondent found several who call '(America home. Among these was j Victor von Borosini, a well-known so cial worker of Chicago who has long . been connected with Hull Hoyse. Like most of his colleagues who live in the United States, Von Borosini was eager to hear the latest news from his home i I city. Among other residents of Am | erica among the prisoners were Doc- I tor Arnold Kohlshutter, astronomer of , | Alt. Wilson Obeservatory, California, , j who finds much leisure in the prison I for astronomical research work; Dr. 1 I Friedensberg of New York, who was I connected with the Panama Canal at j one time in an engineering capacity: i Captain Kurt Beser of Los Angeles: j Mlllington Herrman, son of the presi | dent of the Deutscher Bank and con nected with the New York branch of j that institution. Among other noted j prisoners are Doctor Martin Luther, I surgeon of the cruiser Emden. and Doctor Lutz, an authority on South i American affairs. PI,AY STRING INSTRUMENTS BY PUKSSING IUT TONS An electrically operated tremolo at-, tachment for banjos has recently been j invented which enables a musician to | play this and similar stringed Instru ments by pressing a series of push but l tons instead of doing the customary | pick work. The apparatus, which is j illustrated and described iu the Novem- | bet- Popular Mechanics Magazine, la ! mounted on a table and is supplied with a rack In which the banjo is held I firmly. The tremolo device, which is I partly incased in an aluminum hous j ing, consists of a series of small shafts, 11 at the end of each of which are fixed ; three fiber picks. These rods, corre sponding in number to the strings ! which they parallel, are actuated by a ■ motor and controlled by buttons fitted in the front side of the case, which ' when pressed move the picks in con i tact with the strings, heavily or lightly Ij as the player desires. The speed of , i the rods is regulated by a rheostat j | which allows a variation of from 600 : jto 2,000 picks a minute. >! .
