By LEE G. MILLER Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.—Ten miles or less from New York State there 1s a place where the war is brought home to the privileged visitor even more sharply than the rattling machine guns and driving planes of Canada’s training centers can do it. Within the moated, thick-walled confines of old Ft. Henry, an obsolete stronghold thrown up generations ago for the defense of Kingston, Ontario, against any future incursions from the United States, there live today some 600 German prisoners of war. An exchange of cables between Ottawa and London enabled American newspapermen to enter this well-guarded enclosure and to see its inmates.

Most Are Sailors

Almost all of the 600 are German merchant seamen whose vessels were .seized or sunk by the British. ‘Their spokesman, Hans Minck, of Berlin, was first officer of a Ger-

BRITAIN KEEPS CHILDREN HOME

Program of Evacuation to! Overseas Havens Is Suspended.

LONDON, Oct. 3. (U, P.).—The Government yesterday suspended the program for evacuation of children from bomb-shattered British cities to overseas havens because of the danger of winter travel across the ocean. The program was suspended until further notice. “The Government reluctantly has come to the conclusion that during the winter season of gales and heavy seas it cannot take the responsibility for sending children overseas,” it was stated. . One child refugee ship, the City of Benarss, was sunk by a submarine during a storm in the North| Atlantic recently, resulting in loss of about 248 lives. It was understood the Government would not interfere with private arrangements for evacuation] of children, such as the American committees which may continue the! work independently. | It was emphasized that the pro-| gram merely was suspended and] not abandoned, indicating that it might be resumed next spring. Hundreds of British parents have continued to register their children | for the official evacuation program. | It was believed that increased | rerman submarine operations in| the North Atlantic were partly re-| sponsible for the Government's decision.

Minck was asked who he thought would win the war. He replied: “Germany will win, certainly. {thin a year.” He said every man among the! captives was equally convinced of! that. Someone asked, “then you consider the democracies effeminate?” “It is not so much a matter of democracy,” he said. ‘His demeanor throughout the in-| terview was courteous.
