STUDY GERMAN AS RELAXATION

Energy, Officers Assure Correspondents.

“By JACK FLEISCHER United “Press Staff Correspondent A PRISON CAMP OUTSIDE LUCKENWALDE, Germany, Dec. 9 ~(U. P.).—There are 1,410,000 war prisoners in Germany and most of them, for lack of anything else to do for recreation, are studying Ger ‘man, their German guards say.

An officer at this huge camp 30

miles south of Berlin said that studying German provided ‘one of

the most favorable and most prac- :

tical outlets for energy.”

There are more than 6000 pris- ; oners, all French, at this camp and | §

today they were preparing to put on a Christmas show—in German.

Have you ever heard a Frenchman |§

- sing “Noel” in German? There is a certain charm about it.

Preview Is Given The Propaganda Ministry brought a group of foreign correspondents here to show them conditions in what was said to be a typical Ger-

man prison camp. When we arrived the prisoners were permitted to give “us a “preview” of their Christmas pageant. An all-prisoner orchestra directed by the former director of the Lille Radio Station Orchestra, was tuning up and a group of several hundred prisoners. were practicing their songs in German. The program included several selections by the orchestra, a chorus singing “Cantinque de Noel’—first in German, then in French—a recitation (in German) and a sketch based on the birth of Christ. .- The prisoners seemed enthusiastic. Their appearance was anything but natty, a far cry from dress parade neatness. The * German officers explained that this was common to all war prisoners. They said it was not so much because of a lack of facilities to keep neat, but because “they lack incentive.” "

40,000 In Sub-Camps

The prisoners the foreign ’¢orrespondents saw were only a small portion of those registered in the camp. Almost 40,000 more were assigned to sub-camps in the vicinity, most of them working as hired hands in the fields. The prisoners in this vicinity were only a small fraction of those in Germany. Among the 1,410,000 now in camps are French and English prisoners, 8 few Poles and others distributed among 120 camps throughout the Reich. There are as many as 70,000 in one camp. Officials said that 1,189,000, or 70 per cent, are now ‘gainfully employed under the conditions of the Geneva war prisoners’ agreement.”

' Barracks ‘Warm

The layout here was neat. There were well constructed .and warm barracks, 4 modern kitchen, adequate infirmary and—most important of all for prisoners—large post office. Prisoners like to receive mail even -though it is censored. . Hard work has helped keep the prisoners healthy, according to camp officials, but the chief problem is to provide adequate recreation. Bad weather has kept most prisoners indoors so, officers said, they have taken to studying German—on a voluntary basis. Plenty of instructors are provided. ~ The prisoners this correspondent talked with had two chief interests: . 1 They wanted to go home, They wanted to know what the United States will do.

A major event of the local photographic year is the current hanging of the Indianapolis Camera Club’s annual fall salon in Block’s Auditorium. The show, which will remain there until Dec. 21 is international in the pattern of its prints and in the method by which they were chosen. Entries were limited to four prints from eacH person and at least one of these was accepted. The 70 prints submitted by 36 of the club’s members, include landscapes, portraitures, abstracts, and industrial and architectural shots.

Three Men on Jury °

The three-man jury, George Tomlinson, club president; Earl Robert son of the L. S. Ayres & Co. :photography department, and Howard Cradick of the Indiana University Medical Center photographic staff, chose three winning °prints and three honorable mentions. W. H. Beck’s “Life Along the Bayou” won first award. It is a diaphanous wintertime scene of -a Southern field worker's cabin along a quiet stream. In the center foreground is a horse team with a driver. It is a chloro-bromide paper negative. . Second award was given to. Allan C. Raup’s “Reverie,” a bromide print showing a meditative figure seated on ‘a sand dune under a scrawny wind-torn tree. “Two Pioneers,” by Walter W. Bonns, won the third award. This bromide print of the George Rogers Clark memorial at Vincennes was enlarged from a 2%-inch negative taken with a Rolleflex. It is a splendid example of contrast and composition. The great, white Clark statue fills the left foreground while in the right. distance is the dark, spired church thtusting up from the surrounding trees.

Each Print Is New

Each print is a new one, rules of the salon banning prints which have been hung in any other salon. The show is the culmination of the Camera Club’s 13-year history. About a year after it -was formed, the: club began holding monthly shows. They continued for four years but interest was so lax these were stopped ard a quarterly show policy was begun. This spring these, too, were abandoned in favor of annual spring and fall salons. It was a good move. These larger and lzss {requent hangings brought added interest and finer prints. In style they follow any of the international salons held in the United States and are second. in importance only to the club’s annual invitational shdw at John Herron:Art Institute,

SEES U, S. ARMY OF 4,000,000

Foreign . Policy Group Is Concerned Over ‘Gap’ in In Plans, Performance.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9 (U. P.)— The Foreign Policy Association saw indications today that the War Department’s munitions program and the conscription system envisages

eventual creation of an army of 4,000,000 men, The Association’s conclusion w. stated in its Dec. 1 report, published today, entitled “The United States Army in Transition.” It was written by David H. Popper. The report traced the quick revision of War Department plans for an initial protective force from December, 1939, when former Secretary of War Harry H. Woodring told a Congressional committee of plans for an initial force of “450,000, 500,000 or 600,000.”

* Need Is Increased

By July, 1940, the army program was based on a protective mobilization plan providing for about 1,200,000 men, while critical items of

equipment were being sought to maintain an army of 2,000,000 men. . In -August, the report: said, the 000. men

for defense of the Northern Hemis-phere-and the Caribbean. .“To- protect the integrity of: the entire Western Hemisphere,” the report: said, “the General Staff believes ‘we may require 3,000,000 men, 4,000,000 or more, because our obligations are scattered in so many. directions.” es : 3 : ‘Grounds for Concern’

The report found “grounds: for concern” in “the gap which separates proposal and performance” by the Army, adding: ‘In materiel and personnel, it is and must remain deficient for many months to come. For this, responsibility must be divided between Congress, the Bureau of the Budgef, and the nation on the one hand, and the War Department on the other. . .”

The report suggested the need for a national defense commission composed of both civilians and representatives of the armed ‘services to formulate the military program in relation to our foreign policy.

‘HOPES AMERICA

“Vichy Needs Market for Nickel and Chrome.

~ NOUMEA, New Caledonia, Dec. 9 (U. P.).—Ecoriomically starved since it broke with the French Vichy Government to join the “Free French” movement, the Government of New Caledonia today looked to the United States as a market for its vital nickel and chrome, its coffee and copra. : ; Governor Henri Sautot has asked Gen. Charles de Gaulle, leader of the “Free French” forces, to prevail upon Washington to send a consul for ‘a commercial attache to Noumea at the earliest possible moment to pave the way for trade between the countries. - : Left High and Dry " New Caledonia, lying between the

‘| Fiji Islands and the northeast coast

of Australia, and on the Pan-Amer-

‘| ican “Airways route between the

United States and New, Zealand, is in a difficult economic position resulting - from its sudden ' political severance from totalitarian Europe. Sautot, named by De Gaulle as High Commissioner for all French oceanic possessions, including Tahiti, pointed out that New Caledonia |was left high and dry by, the surrender of the Vichy Government to Germany, > Depended on France Before the war New Caledonia was an exploited colony, operated by Paris capital on behalf of European shareholders. The white colonists here were dependent on the French colonial trade which now has ended. Thus Gov. Sautot is particularly anxious to develop a market in the United States for the colony’s products. In exchange he seeks gasoline and agricultural and mining machinery, Such a move would give tremendous satisfaction and confidence to the ‘colony and - would tend to cement pacific relations, as well as to develop the ‘air traffic with America which already is ending the isolation of New Caledonia, he said.

Englishman Knows His Life ~ Not Worth .a Penny, Press Snarls.

BERLIN, Dec. 9 (U. P.).—The newspaper Lokal Anzeiger asked and . answered a question. The question: “How can the people of London withstand it? Is

ed or are the dwellers of English cities mass heroes?” The answer: “That which appears to the world as English power is nothing more than the nature of the English masses. The average Englishman, from the proletariat to the limits of the lower middle class, is fundamentally a fatalist. He takes the world as it offers itself to him and is not troubled by any wish to alter it. . . . The English have become native serfs, a herd of will-less creatures who have but one interest —to eat, sleep and marry ... for his own life an Englishman would not give a penny for he knows it is not worth that much.” Voelkischer = Beobachter said: “War mongering bears golden fruit. Thus British plutocracy profits by its war. There were huge profits in the armaments industry in the first year of the war. The (German) air attacks on their commerce now collide with their reckoning.”
