Scattered throughout tent camps or Germany, in open-ai- r squat concrete, barracks are' some 3.500.000 prisoners of war, the remains of the French territorial and colonial armies, the lolish troops vanquished a year kgo, and the British expeditionary- forces which escaped annihilation at Dunkerque. Soldiers, sailors, fliers black, white and yellow, from all quarters of the globe, are Incarcerated in Germany, some' of them working In farm or field, some even in factories, but most of them idle, awaiting the end of the war and freedom. In a medieval castle towering on -a mountainside-abov- evalley- in the Hessian hills are 175 British ofand ficers and 39 tent city are lies.

These, four places were visited by a New York Times writer recently y in a trip, on invitation of the German high command. The experience of these visits furnished a graphic picture of life in a German prison camp as it is lived by captured officers and men of the enemy armed forces. Have Flower Garden. The prison wall surrounding 175 British officers in the ancient Hessian castle are thick and high, and" a deep, dry moat contributes fur- ther to making escape well nigh impossible. On the outer ramparts surrounding the moat sentries pace by day and night with bayoneted rifles. The only entrance to the castle Is a huge old drawbridge guarded by a massive belfry. Just outside the heavily armed drawbridge Is a little garden. Here the senior British officers are permitted to grow flowers and vegetables a favorite pastime of many of them.

Life at the castle is usually quiet There are seldom any Incidents calling for punishments such as arrest or withdrawal of. the smokjng privileges or- - canceling of the weekly walks. According to the Geraian commander, the behavior of the prisoners is generally very good. Their state of health perhaps In e mountain parttecausetf air is excellent. The only complaint' the prisoners have to make is of the scarcity of cigarettes and tobacco.

It Isnt necessary to go beyond the announced figures of hls new deal to understand why he took the step he did rather than sign the ngyv contract which was offered him at Notre Dame. A man with family responsibilities doesnt have to think twice about $20,000 a year. No coaching job could have paid him that much. Perhaps typical of professional football la the fact that the Thin Man found himself in the middle ef a controversy before the Ink on hls contract had dried.

They have nothing to carry but the clothes on their backs, so there is no packing or unpacking. Just the same, it usually means a whole lot of work. You see, most of them build their own houses. That means jf they have to move from where they have been living they cannot go out and find another house all ready for them to move Into as you and I can. They have got to build that new house. There are a few, just a few, who are not particular or at all fussy and are willing to live In old houses left by other people, but even these have to be fixed up a little usually. So most of them wont move, particularly In the middle of the season, unless they feel that they must. Old Man Coyote felt that he must. He felt that never again would he have a moments peace of mind ao long as he continued to live In his present home in the far corner of the Green Meadows. Old Granny Fox had led Bowser the Hound to it, and Bowser had led Farmer Brown's Boy to it, and the latter had set traps all around it To be sura, he had come that very day and taken away those traps. Old Man Coyote had watched him from a hiding place and had wondered at what he saw. Of course, he couldnt knowthat Farmer Brown's Boy had had a change of heart that he had begun to realize how ternbiy unfair and cruel traps are and so had g. have made no difference. Old Man Coyote would have been afraid that Farmer Browns Boy might take-I- t Into his head to try to dig him out and kill him or hide near by to shoot him with his terrible gun.
