THE “U-BOAT HOTEL”
CAPTIVE GERMAN CREWS
AMENITIES PROVIDED (Elec. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (British Official Wireless.) Reed. 9 a.m. RUGBY, Oct. 7. German U-boat officers who are now in captivity in England are interned in a large country house in the beautiful Westmoreland Valley which, before it was converted into what is locally known as the “U-boat Hotel,” did service as a hikers’ hostel. The prisoners have the advantages of a large library to which a supply of German books is being added. Arrangements made for their indoor entertainment and outdoor recreation, including football, are being extended. All are fit and well and the commandant reports the discipline is excellent.
