Chester, England, Dec. 2. The con centration camp at Queensferry, ten miles from Chester, now contains more than 2,200. The camp is housed in a score of spacious factory buildings formerly occupied by a firm of boiler-makers. The buildings set aside for dormitory purposes are divided into "wardds," "blocks," and "bays." . All the build ings are solidly built, and the sleep ing and living quarters are by no means crowded, the number of men in each ward being dictatei". by the cubic feet of air space, with due. con sideration for matters of light, ventila tion and heating. A central heating plant, formerly the factory power house, furnishes steam heat and hot water for "all the buildings. There are wash houses with hot and cold showers at con venient points about the camp. The men have shown considerable interest in decorating their rooms. Some of the wards, containing fromi lour to ten men, are decorated in al leged imitation of familiar hotels, ships or streets. Sign boards, paint ed with more or less elaboration, di rect the visitor to "Villa Emden" an imitation of the famous German cruis er, "Stadt Hamburg," "Unter den Lin den," and "Windsor Castle." Each man is provided with three blankets and mattress for his ounk. There are a few "day rooms," fitted up for lounging and for indoor games such as checkers, dominoes, chess and cards. No gambling is allowed. The hospital contains provisions for twenty-five patients and is amply equipped with medical and surgical ap pliances. A resident medical officer is in charge, with two sanitary officers who continually inspect all parts of the camp. Every new prisoner is submitted to a rigid examination, and the medical officer keeps regular of fice hours, during which any resident may consult him without charge. Ev ery man whom he sees is given a card on which are entered his name, the nature of his complaint, and the pre scribed treatment. Cases of severe illness are sent to civil hospitals in London. The general health of the camp has been excellent. The camp postoffice handles about 2,500 outgoing letters each week, and a rather larger amount of incoming mail. All letters are read by censors, and outgoing mail is limited to two letters a man per week. No letter may be longer than can be written on two sides of an ordinary sheet of notepaper. The censorship of incom ing mail has caused some "annoying delays; letters from Germany are of ten in a handwriting difficult to de cipher. Letters from the United States are more satisfactory, a large proportion of them are in typewriting and many are of purely business char acter. Nothing relating to the war passes the censors. There is a camp library, from which residents may borrow books of varied character. Newspapers are forbidden m all the campu Facilities are giv en by the postoffice for the receipt of money, and all sums are accounted for and paid out as the prisoner di rects. Prisoners who have money can take full advantage of the "canteen," where special tariff lists for purchases of all kinds are posted. Much of the routine work of gov erning the camps is done by the pris oners themselves. There is a head captain for each "block," a captain for each "bay," and the various bays are again broken up into messes, under charge of petty officers. All these of ficers are chosen by vote of the men themselves. The captains and head captains hold stated meetings at which they consider and adopt regulations for the conduct of camp affairs. The commandant and his adjutant have office hours during which they ! may be seen on any matters which the captains wish to bring to their attention. Any prisoner is privileged to appeal for the remedy of griev ances. The occupations with which the men busy themselves are as various as the callings and trades represented. A number of men devote themselves to constructing models of steam or sailing ships, and derive some profit from their skill by offering their hand iwork to the highest bidders Cents A Week.

The camp has a brass band; an or chestra, and several glee clubs. Sev eral squads have been organized for gymnastic and military drill, and there are occasional exhibitions by prisoners of gymnastics and acro batics. Religious services are held on Sun day by both Catholics and Protes tants. One of the prisoners is a Ger man pastor. He was given a chance of release but preferred to remain, de-! claring that he could do better work within the camp than outside. Officers interned in the camp enjoy some special privileges, and are gen erally provided with servants, of their own nationality. They are paid in accordance with the provisions of The Hague Convention half the pay of British officers of the same rank plus a small rations allowance. Thus, as suming the pay of a British infantry captain to be three dollars a day, the German officer of corresponding rank at Queensferry receives $1.50 a day, plus rationsi The regulation ration of food daily in tlif oam-n is one and a half pounds of bread, half a pound of meat, two f ounces of sugar, one ounce of coffee or half an ounce of tea, eight ounces of fresh vegetables, two ounces of lentil peas, one ounce of butter or mar garine, table condiments, and one - tin of condensed milk to every twenty men. Lentil soup is occasionally add ed as the first course of the midday meal. Trained cooks prepare all ra tions under the superintendence of a chief steward. 4th Ward Home Insurance I Insurance !
