be somewhat remarkable in view of
the many grave injuries treated.

In closing I may say that there is no discrimination or
segregation among the patients and that certain French patients
with whom I spoke expressed, likewise, their appreciation for
the care and attention given them.

CREFELD.

At Crefeld Mr. Michelson visited the camp for interned officers. Of
these interned 137 were British. The general statements of the
Commandant "were afterwards independently confirmed by the one interned
British medical officer, Captain Benjamin Johnson, who said that as a
physician he had no complaints to make or improvements to suggest. He
did, however, complain on the score of being held prisoner, but the
Commandant and the German medical officer, and I with them, feel that

"The bath room which I saw has a floor space of about 1,500 square feet,

favour of the orderlies, for the orderlies were fewer in number and less
crowded than the soldiers. Although exercise is not compulsory, there is
ample space in the central rectangle for out-door games of all sorts and
for walking. No appropriate form of exercise, recreation, or amusement
