is presence and for the consideration he had kindly
given to the arrangement, whereupon the Baron said that he would
be very pleased personally from time to time to take part in the
meetings of the camp committee.

Baron von Taube then closed the meeting.

The secretary announced that he had laid a copy of the minutes
before the Baron, who had kindly accepted and signed it, and
had, with his own hand, written on it the words, "Have taken
note of the minutes and agree on all points."

The chairman greeted Mr. Fischer, overseer of hut 3, who was
present as delegate of the overseers. The meeting proceeded to
discuss the following matters:

LATRINES FOR INVALIDS.--At the last meeting the camp committee
had requested a member to procure information on this matter.
Mr. Fischer reported that the small latrine between huts 3 and 4
(which was formerly intended for women) should be used for this

probably be issued by the doctor or his representative. The
overseers had for a long time striven to obtain permission for
the sick to use the water closets, but these for the most part
were not in the premises which were at the disposal of the
military authorities, and therefore could not, even on payment,
be opened. He would again inquire if it were not possible to
obtain a closed water closet for the sick.

POSTAL MATTERS.--Questions concerning the postal regulations
and the censoring of letters were brought up. A member expressed
his intention of obtaining precise information and of reporting
thereon.

OUTBREAK OF DIARRHOEA.--It was announced that 78 cases had
occurred at hut 1.[20] Mr. Fischer was asked whether the number
of cases in each hut was known to the overseers. He replied that
they had furnished a report on the previous day. It was
suggested that in such a case the overseers might with advantage
seek the assistance of the delegates of the camp committee, and
especially in the present case, as the overseers were much
occupied with other work, and could not collect complete
statistics.

BREAD.--The question of the quality of the bread was raised; it
was alleged that bread insufficiently baked and bread which
consisted of remains insufficiently ground together was
sometimes distributed. As 2,000 of the
