trousers of blue cloth, an overcoat, a police hat or a fez for the
Turks, socks and slippers. The Mahometans receive Turkish slippers. All
prisoners have a red scarf and two handkerchiefs. A well-found shop
sells under-clothing at moderate prices, and articles of outfit, scent,
post-cards and watches.


_Hygiene._--Drinking water, abundant and wholesome, is brought from the
mains of the town of Alexandria. Besides the toilet lavatories, there
are 4 bathrooms supplied with hot water and cold douches always
available. The prisoners go in parties to bathe in the sea near the
camp, under guard of British soldiers.

The prisoners do their own washing, numerous wash-houses being provided
for the purpose.

The latrines are partly on the English and partly on the Turkish system,
1 to every 10 men, cleanly kept. They are disinfected daily. The floor
and the lower part of the chambers are treated with cresol; the upper
part is whitewashed. The sewers discharge into the sea. The sweepings
are burnt in a special stove.


_Medical Attention._--The sanitary condition of the camp is inspected at
regular intervals by the Colonel, medical director of Hospital No. 21,
Alexandria. Captain (Dr.) Dunne is resident in the camp; he pays a
medical visit each day at 9 o'clock. Eight to ten prisoners out of the
total in camp may present themselves for treatment, among them 1 or 2
Ottomans.
