Germans Intermed -- | i rs of | Seventy More There Are Now 515 Prisone War In the Fort, Al present a large force of men is at work on the Petawawa camp grounds, * building a Qoncentration camp for German, Austrian and Turkish. suspects. Fort Henry is now nearly filled with prisoners of War, there being 612 over there. A lieutenant of the 14th regiment is daily detailed in charge and while there 'is practically king of Fort Henry. He is in full charge of ev- .erything. If prisoners arrive they are searched and everything in their pockets is taken from them. «They are given credit for the amount of loney that they turn over and if they want tobacco or other luxuries the cost of them is deducted from their money supply. The three lieutenants who take turns in com- mand of the fort are W, Swaine, J. Stagg and F. Smythe. Every morn- ing the guard of over a hundred men marches to the fort.and relieves the old guard. The sentries are station- eéd in several places around the buildings. There are also police- men who are actually in contact with the prisoners of war, They keep order and see that ne gather. ing is allowed that might lead to trouble. ' Seventy more prisoners of war ar- rived from Montreal on Saturday afternoon by Grand Trunk. They were brought down in. a special cay in charge of an escort.

The baron claims Warren, Ont., as his home and alse claims td own a farm near Sudbury having paid $6000 for it. The reason he was detained Montreal 'was because of a page lettér written in had on him addressed to Herman Ridder, whose articles in the New York Staats-Zeitung are well known for their proMierman nature and their bitterness for all things Bri- tish. He was caught in room among the aliens registering under new law that requires that all aliens must register before the 15th December. When asked his reason for being in the room after his sus- picious actions were noticed, he de- clared that he was inquiring about the German churches in Montreal rb ---- { AMERICAN PLAN Large, Airy Rooms STEAM HEAT AND ELECTRIC LIGHT The best yard accommoda- tion in the city First-class Cafe in connec- tion Frank McCue, Prop Anglo in seven: ierman he the waiting Soldiers Handled The Students.
