For months; American army men have been visiting: immense ‘prison’ colonies in Great Britain and throughout France. They studied the systems in use in both countries, and while they have found no pronounced defects in the British system: it is: undoubtedly the French plan which they will follow closest in’ preparing the American camps. This, it is explained, is quite watural, as the American government will be dependent on the French for location of the collecting stations, dis- tributing centers and the final quarters for the barracks. The French have three large collecting. stations in the {nterior.: It-{s more than likely that the American: forces will be’ alloted one of these’ stations for its war pris- oners until our own are completed and j A Great’ Experiment.

We should“fild it interesting: work, applying our vast knowledge and experience to‘a new and untque’ phase pf'social science,” said q high army of- @cial who has made a thorough study of: prison camp methods’ in Europe. He spoke of the handling of war pris- oners as being'a real humane’ problem, and while emphastzing'that a war-pris- ners’ camp was not a plienic groufd or a health resort,-it was at the sdme time not a black Hole for the breedihg: of diseases and the starving and tor- turing Df human ‘beings; ‘as seemed to Be: the Prussian idea.

German pemphleteers were busy several months, @go informing the*neutrals and their wn populations of the terrible hard- ships of German and Austrian prison- in ‘France and Great Britain. @witzerland sent investigators and ob- wervers to the French camps and'they came home,-not merely with reports of their observatiozs but filled with’ en- thusiasm for the system of treatrient, the food, sanitary sleeping’ and living quarters,hours of labor and opportuni- ties for recreation. The men who have found shelter in French camps are quite contented. Aside from the opin- ton of the neutral observers, the tes- timony of the prisoners themselves is the best refutation of Germany’s alle- gations. No prisoner has: yet been {found who complained. % ‘“The American, prison camps, com: bining as they will the best of the Brit 4sh and Freneh systems, are expected to‘ be a great ‘object lesson to the en- ‘emy in the human treatment of prison- ers of war.
