PENANCE, NOT TENNIS

The _Daily Chronicle’s_ correspondent at Amsterdam telegraphs as

follows:

“The Cologne _Gazette_ says: ‘A thousand English soldiers are now

prisoners of war at the Döberitz military exercise ground near Berlin.

“‘It is proposed to give English officers facilities for tennis and

golf, but this plan is opposed by the _Gazette_, which says that men of

the nation which plunged Germany into the war will be better occupied

sitting down thinking of their country’s sins.’”
