_Canteen._--The regulation food of the prisoners being ample, the
canteen plays a very minor part in the feeding arrangements. It sells
tea, coffee, and light refreshments. A cup of sweetened tea costs 5
paras, or about one-third of a penny. The canteen also deals in letter
paper, post-cards, thread, needles, buttons and other small odds and

The men receive 2 ounces of tobacco free every week. They never get
alcohol.


_Clothing._--Each prisoner is supplied with two complete sets of
underwear: shirts, drawers, and socks. The uniform consists of trousers
and coat of dark blue cloth. The brass buttons give it a military
appearance.

All the men wear the red fez. They are allowed to wear their
decorations. That they are prisoners is shown only by their having on
them a white metal plate about 1-1/2 inches in diameter, bearing a
registration number and the two letters P.W. (Prisoner of War). In our
opinion this kind of medallion is a more judicious form of indication
than the bands, armlets or large letters used elsewhere. In summer the
cloth uniforms are replaced by linen uniforms of the same cut and
colour.

All men wear indoors leather slippers of the Eastern kind. Shoes are
used only by prisoners engaged on gardening, and by non-commissioned
officers.

Linen, clothes and footwear are renewed on fixed dates or according to
