ATTICHY, France, Aug. 17.—The American army's school near here for 7000 German boy prisoners of war ‘teaches democracy in practice as well as in theory. Inmates of the two “baby cages’—areas where young former soldiers of Hitler's armies are segregated from older men in the huge prison camp—are learning self-government

Slips of paper-were distributed to ‘he boys, who were told to express their choice by writing “yes” or “no,” and then to drop their ballots, unsigned, into the box.

Five youths were chosen to count the ballots. » ” ”

ABOUT 80 per cent of the boys voted. Two-thirds of them wrote “yes” on their ballots, signifying that they wanted the study of Eng-

Jurors — 12 for each case tried — are drawn from a panel approved by the American staff. An accused boy is allowed to select his own defense lawyer from among his | fellow prisoners. ” SERIOUS ones are. surpris-| ingly few.

Since you have shown by your votes that it is the will of the majority, here in camp, instruction in English will be introduced for all of you, beginning next Monday.” Americans here are not too certain of the significance of this election.
