ed on Thursdays and Sundays by an extra
dish and cake of some sort. We examined the day's provision in the
kitchen, and found it wholesome and appetising. When pork is included in
the menu, which happens rarely, this item is replaced, in the case of
the Turkish prisoners, by a dish of eggs and vegetables.

A second kitchen staff, installed in a separate room, prepares a special
menu which the prisoners can have by paying for it. The commandant
himself authorised the reservation of this kitchen to provide for such
prisoners as possess ample means.

Here is the extra menu for January 5, 1917:
_Lunch_: Italian dumplings; roast veal; salad and gherkins.
_Dinner_: Soup "parmentier"; fish croquettes; braised beef with cabbage.

The meals are served at:
Breakfast, half-past seven.
Lunch, one o'clock.
Dinner, half-past five.

Three canteens furnish all kinds of commodities to the prisoners--ham,
sausages, preserves, cakes, chocolate, fruits, wine, beer, etc. The
prices are exactly the same as in the English army canteens. A shop, run
by a Bulgarian merchant, is permitted for the sale of tobacco, cigars
and cigarettes. Besides this there is a Viennese who makes cigarettes in
the camp itself. On Christmas Day the commandant made a generous
distribution of cigarettes to all the interned men at his own expense.
They can also obtain at the bar tea, coffee and other drinks. In point
of fact, we made sure that the camp administration has organised the
commissariat in a manner that meets all needs.

_Clothing._--The men arrived in camp in their own clothes. When these
began to wear out the administration furnished a new outfit, which
consists of two flannel shirts, two knitted pairs of drawers, a vest and
trousers of blue cloth, an overcoat, a police hat or a fez for the
Turks, socks and slippers. The Mahometans receive Turkish slippers. All
prisoners have a red scarf and two handkerchiefs. A well-found shop
sells under-clothing at moderate prices, and articles of outfit, scent,
post-cards and watches.

_Hygiene._--Drinking water, abundant and wholesome, is brought from the
mains of the town of Alexandria. Besides the toilet lavatories, there
are 4 bathrooms supplied with hot water and cold douches always
available. The prisoners go in parties to bathe in the sea near the
camp, under guard of British soldiers.

The prisoners do their own washing, numerous wash-houses being provided
for the purpose.
