are reserved which open upon a veranda. Each contains three beds. These
comfortably fitted-up chambers are assigned to elderly prisoners or to
those in weak health. The rest of the camp buildings are occupied by the
administrative quarters, the kitchens, refectories, canteens, etc. The
English guard is lodged under canvas in a special section. The camp is
lighted by electricity.


_Bedding._--The bedsteads are iron provided with a wire-spring
mattress, a squab of vegetable fibre and a sufficient number of
blankets. All the bedding is kept scrupulously clean.


_Food._--The commissariat is supplied by a private contractor. A
committee presided over by the camp commandant, and composed of
delegates from among the prisoners, arrange the menus for each week. The
kitchen is very clean, and the prisoners do not provide the personnel.

Here is the menu for Friday, January 5, 1917,
the day of our visit:
_Breakfast_: Porridge; milk; chocolate; butter; bread.
_Lunch_: Haricot soup; ragoût of beef and potatoes.
_Dinner_: Rice soup; hashed meat (moussaka), with vegetables;
eggs; tea.

The prisoners' menu is extended on Thursdays and Sundays by an extra
dish and cake of some sort. We examined the day's provision in the
kitchen, and found it wholesome and appetising. When pork is included in
the menu, which happens rarely, this item is replaced, in the case of
the Turkish prisoners, by a dish of eggs and vegetables.
