ed during the summer months." The inspector finds
the hospital accommodation in this case "very crude." There were about
thirty cases of sickness which should certainly have been removed
elsewhere. The morning meal seems very small for the morning's work. It
consists of either soup or coffee with 300 grammes (say 10 oz.) of
bread. Altogether it is plain that improvements here were urgently
needed. Dr. Ohnesorg, however, says: "All of them (the British
prisoners) appeared to be in good physical condition.... The work is not
hard, and they are permitted to take it leisurely.... They informed me
that their treatment was good, they were not overworked, and practically
the only complaint they had to make was that a more substantial meal to
begin the day on should be given them." At Wahn the food was complained
of, and the most unpleasant feature is that the Commandant did not seem
on good terms with the British.

BLANKENBURG.

As regards the camp for officers at Blankenburg, Mr. Jackson writes:

The house itself is as comfortable as any of the places where I
saw interned officers in England.... It is surrounded by
attractive, well-kept grounds, in which a tennis-court has just
been made.... There are several modestly furnished mess and
recreation rooms, and a terrace which is used for afternoon
tea.... The Commandant is interested in his work, and evidently
does all he can to make conditions agreeable.

There were 110 officers, of whom nine were British.

SENNE.

At Sennelager Mr. Osborne reports:

The situation of the camp is good ... on very dry, sandy soil,
surrounded at a few kilometres by pine forests. The buildings
are good. Though there were the customary complaints about the
food, more than half the men I spoke with expressed themselves
as satisfied.... The men looked healthy, and they all stated
that the general health of the camp was excellent.... There are
shower baths with hot and cold water.... The men said they were
well treated by the Commandants and the German soldiers and
N.C.O.'s in charge of them.

The camps at Sennelager are large ones, and include more than two
thousand British prisoners. Games, concerts, and theatrical performances
help to pass the time. A play given by French prisoners was entitled:
_Avant et apres la guerre._

MAINZ.

Of the officers' camp at Mainz, Dr. Ohnesorg reports that "The quality
and quantity o
