SHOW GERMANY
TREATMENT OF
INTERNED MEN!
WASHINGTON, I). C., Dec. 2!>.
Photographs showing the comfortable
surroundings of interned German
prisoners in this country have been
forwarded to Germany by the war!
department in the opening of negotia
tions concerning the treatment of war
prisoners taken, respectively, by the
two nations in the present conflict.
The photographs wore forwarded
to Gorlin through the state depart
ment and a neutral agent. They are
intended to show that interned Ger
mans are well treated by the United'
States and to reveal the expectation
of the United States that similar con
sideration will be shown American
soldiers who may be captured by Ger
many.
Two ( lasses of Prisoners.
Two classes ui German prisoners
an* now detained in this country. One
is comprised of German soldiers tak
en into custody when the United
States interned various vessels at the
beginning of the war. The other class
is comprised of “enemy aliens ” civil
ians who have been arrested and are
now being detained under government
regulations for various reasons.
The principal detention camp is at
Fort McPherson, Ga., where approxi
mately 850 war prisoners are held in
custody of the war department. At
Fort Oglethorpe, Ga., there are 165
“enemy aliens,” who are not, strictly
speaking, prisoners of war.
At Fort Douglas, Utah, there are
517 prisoners of war and eighty in
‘orned aliens.

id aliens are now temporarily quart
