As a general rule the camp prisoners look well, have a good colour and
are well nourished.

The prisoners were inoculated in Turkey against typhoid fever and
smallpox. All who no longer showed traces of vaccination were vaccinated
immediately after being captured. They were also inoculated against
cholera.

There is no typhoid fever in the camp, nor exanthematic typhus, nor any
other infectious disease.


_Work._--The prisoners have no regular work to do. No prisoner is
employed in workshops outside the camp. Even inside, except for ordinary
camp fatigue duties, and some light gardening, no labour is exacted.
During our inspection we saw the digging for a water supply through the
camp being done by Arab workmen, not by prisoners.

In any case, corporals and sergeants are not allowed to work.


_Religion and Recreation._--The prisoners are quite free to follow their
own religious practices, which are performed thrice a day ordinarily,
and six or seven times daily during Ramadan. Music and singing are
permitted; prisoners have manufactured several guitars and violins.


_Correspondence._--Most of the prisoners brought money with them; some
have received sums of money from their families through the Turkish Red
