A Garden To Be Cultivated For Fur- nishing Vegetables For the OM. cers' Mess At Camp, As soon as authority is obtained from Ottawa the prisoners-of-war at Fort Heary will be given the addi- tional liberty of taking exercise and dcing work on the slope of the hin runing from the fort to the water at the side facing the Royal MHitary College. $ Since the first prisoner was brought in and confined, there have heen constant applications by tha priscners through every source for more liberty outside of the walls so that they could see the green fields jrjund trees and forget for a few min- lites every day the cold grey walls that keey them imprisoned. Now that nearly two years has ¢lepeed and -nothing has been done fur them, the case is getting serious a the prisoners should certainly oe Anewed out, under heavy guard of toLrse, Major P, G. C. Campbell, com- ii ndant, who has the welfare of te 'r.soners very much in mind, allow- ¢d them to shovel the snow on ..e 14 ad leading to the fort last wini.er. 'I1is brought joy to their hearts and every man including the officers, begged for the chance to be in the squad to be chosen every day. Major Campbell has already grant- ed thew the privilege of having a garden on the slope near the Mar- tello tower on the Royal Military College slope of the hill. This gard- en will be used for the furnishing of vegetables for the officers mess at the camp. This is all that Major Campbell can grant in this way but his recommendation to Ottawa for further liberties will undoubtedly be granted, He has asked-for authority to al- low the Germans to take exercise, garden and do work on the slope throughout the summer. There may be a barbed wire fence around them to prevent taking leave, and the usual guard wil} be maintained, It is all being done to take off souig of the burden of punishment that must be undergone by an in- terned prisoner-of-war. If the au- thority is granted the slope from Fort Henry to the water will be this Year covered with garden produce and flowers. tren ts News of Troops in the City (See also page 12.)
