Camp Routine and Kapkeymailt.

Camp routine is simple and setne to be quite satie factory to the men. Reveille is sounded at BOVEN a.m. and breakfast is served at 7.30. At 8.30 all prisoners not excused for medical or other reasons are called for work squade and are required to work at various things about the oamp until 10.30 a.m. At noon dinner is served. From three to four o'clock in the afternoon all prisoners are expected to take whatever exercise they may prefer,- in the open air if possible. These are the sole require- ments of the camp and the rest of the time the prisoNE IS can use as they please in reading games or otherwise. The labor required of them has beca solely for their own benefit in improving the oaup. They have performed the labor necessary for draining the ground about their camp buildings, have leveled ground for recreation purposes, have constructed their own tennis courts and football grounds, and they are now leveling and otherwise preparing the additional recreation ground for football and similar games mentioned heretofore, The labor is precisely the same as that required of British troope in improving their own comp. When work was first required of them a few of the prisoners were disposed to refuse the service but I was told by Captain Hannig, senior prisoner, who has been the epokesman for the prisoners with the camp officials
