The Hague, Netherlands, Aug. 26. - (Associated PreBs Correspondence.) -The ancient fortress of Wlerlcker schana where are Interned the Brit ish officers.of the Antwerp relief ex pedition which was forced by the Germana to retreat ii Ko Holland a year ago. occasionally lose3 some ot its fc'iak'-clad guests,' notwithstand ing Mint tile Dutch profess to guard the place thoroughly. The British officers, like many of those interned in other camps in Hold 3 nd. rofuso to pledge themselves agati?t trying to escape to England to rejoin the fighting forces, and 1 once oute.de the fortress theso prisoners find Mic Dutch neople disposed to make tilings easy for them. The (guards at thc camp are under orders to shoot any escaping prisoner, and it is true that tiley do shoot at them, bnt there is often something mysteriously poor about tho'.r aim. In fact fcf it were not for thc constant arrivai of ship wrecked aviators, the quota of pris oners at Wlerlckcrschans would not be long sustained. The fortress is an interesting place. Although visible from two raliway Hues, nobody seems to have been aware of its existence until the war brought it to notice. It is sur^ rounded -by a cluster of green trees and a broad moat, which makes it virtually an island. Even the farm ers who live nearby know sn littlo of Its origin that, with the historical generosity of the indifferent, tiley va guely refer o thc castle as dating bock to the time of the Romans. AH a mattet* of fact, bhe fort was built by Fling William Cf England, lue Stadholder? cf Holland, and cannot bc older than the year 1G72. It was in that year that King Louis XIV, of Franc?? invaded Holland and marched night up to Amsterdam. Thc country was at once flooded and aevcral for tifications <were built in this impromp tu sea to guard tho few high roadc ,whlch could not. be submerged. Tho deep and broad moat which aurrounds the fortress is now used for fishing and swimming purposes by thc 45 British officers interned there. In the distance there is a pretty Dutch landscape, with red roofed bouses, dusters of trees, a few busy wind mills, and a high sky, all ot them suggestive of the liberty that ls near at hand but which is barred by a dou ble row bf wire fences, both above and under water, and a series ot arm ed Dutch guards. At night the en tire tone of barbed wire and rifles'' is lighted up by strong arclights, giv ing the old fort an appearance some thing like an American amusement park on a summer night. But when approached closely it is seen that mos-' qultocs and bate are the only ones to enjoy -this beautiful- glare. Tho occupants of the fort are safely lock ed, up for the lttgvit and at eleven o'clook they are sent to bed. For a year now these men havo boen in a prison which really is not a prison. If they were prisoners .ot war they could be treatrd severely and could ibe punished for thc break ing of any rule ot the como. Since they are interned foreign soldiers and' have not given the'.'/ parole that they shall not try to escape, nhey aro at perfect liberty to walk away the mo-' ment they can. When they are caught they are brought bock but they may renew their efforts the next morning and unless they actually destroy gov ernment property there ia no way in which to punish them for ehe trouble which they have caused ell around.. As a matter of fact, the Dutch boy, who ls standing guard, ls not going to burden hos conscience with the death of an excellent fellow with whom he has played games for many months and against whom he hos nothing hut friendly feelings. As ./jr tho daily routine ot the In terned officers it can be well compar ed to a rather quiet watering place.; The men have rcviived the games of their eairlly schooldays and a few times a day indulge in a mUd game of roun ders. The British government 1 baa' built, twp 'excellent tennis courts. The Dutch government has put up a jumping board and between eleven and on? allows the mea the liberty of tho moat.
