I THE HAGUE, Netherlands, Dec: 2$.
i i —Seven to eight thousand British
j prisoners-of-war from Germany short
. iy are to take up their quarters at
The Hague and in the neighborhood,
, constituting a fresh strain on the:
, sorely-tried housing accommodation of]
the-city and its environs. A like num-|
her of German prisoners from Great
, Britain a re to be qua rtered in other I
r parts of the country, and prepara
j twins are afoot to provide for them.
Both Great Britain and German
haze sent over representatives to co
operate with the Netherlands author-j
ities in the matter. Special hospital j
accommodations are being provided j
for the numerous invalids, as only a
limited number of cases- can he plac
ed in existing civil and military hospit
als. The BVitish and Netherlands Red
Cross societies are joining efforts in
, this task.
| A site has been offered by the city
■ council of the Tague, in the Immediate
neighborhood’ of the British quarters,
for the erection of workshops, Young
j Men's Christian association huts and
! the provision of football and cricket
I
j | grounds. Following the example set
|
I in Switzc-land. special care is to be
I
devoted to training men for useful
vocations. With a view to avoiding j
] competition with native Tabor, in ac-1
| cordance with rules laid down by the I
; authorities, the employment provided [
I probably wilT* take the form of con-1
j structing movable houses or cabins j
for use in Belgium after the war, and
making furniture for the same pur
pose, work that is already occupying
many Belgian interned soldiers and
- refugees.
To accustom the German prisoners I
I to regular employment and give them j
a certain amount of confidence in the j
future, workshops are to be erected j
in the Wolfhezen camp. Raw mater- j
■
ials are to be brought from Germany j
where the finished work will be in
due course exported in order to avoid
competition with Netherlands work
men. According to present plans,
some of the men will be put to work
on the land, while students will he
given facilities to continue their stud
ies at Netherlands universities.

The difficulties experienced by airplane cameramen in making photo
graphs of enemy movements below has brought about the invention of a n.-v
device, the pistol-camera, which greatly facilitates their work. The Gemini
airmen originated the pistol-camera, and the one shown in this British officin
photograph was captured by a British aviator.
