NTERNED CREWS
OF GERMAN SHIPS
BUILD A VILLAGE
Scarcely Six Months in the Mak
ing It Attracts Wide
Attention.
LITTLE GERMANY IN ITSELF
Three Hundred Little Model Houses
and Othor Structures That Go to
Make Up a Village Are Con
utructed From Scraps.
Norfolk. Va. At the Portsmouth
navy yard, near Norfolk, Va., there
Is a village of almost n thousand per
sons thnt hns been scarcely six months
in tho mnklng, which Is attracting at
tention throughout tho country. Visi
tors to the yard vie with one another
for the precious and somewhat rnre
passes which will ndmlt ono to the
peculiar place, and thousands of post
cards showing scenes within Its lim
its nro sold dally.
Tho vlllago Is unincorporated and
without legalized form of government.
Its residents, though filled with civic
pride rare In Its Intensity, nre abso
lutely opposed to Increasing the popu
lation. They toll and spin In the vil
lage only ns It pleases them, yet they
cat regularly, sleep regularly and nre
assured of a comfortable existence, nt
least, until the end of the great Euro
pean war.
And, now thnt war has been men
tioned, you have tho key to the iden
tity of this strange municipality In
the making. It Is the village built by
the Interned crews of the Kronprlnz
Wllhelm nnd the Prlnz Eltel Friedrlch,
German war vessels, which ran Into
the Virginia capes within SO days of
"ach other for safety, about a year
ago, and since have been Interned by
tho United States government for tho
duration of the war.
Build Wonder Village.
Cast Into the waters of a neutral
country and realizing thnt their stay
probnbly would be long, these sturdy,
blond Teuton sons did not sit on tho
decks and mourn their fate. Instead,
they sprang upon the land, grabbed
every scrap of wood and mctnl and
cloth nnd leather nnd every drop of
paint thnt camo their way and began
the construction of their wonder vil
lage. From scraps gathered from hither
and yon in tho navy yard and out of
It, more than 800 little model houses, n
windmill, a, chapel and other. struc
tures that go to make up the vlllngo
have been constructed. Thoy line pret
ty streets
Their front yards bloom with flow
ers and their bnck yards are filled with
'ardon truck. Nor is the end yet. To
day you see a load of old boxes or dis
carded ends of boards going into tho
Hinge nnd tomorrow a new house, of
hlch they will be a part, will be un-
'er construction. Building operations
'lvn,vs nre under way.
The start of the village came with
(ho granting of the use of the east end
f the yard, nenr where the great In
f rned ships He, by the commandant
i) the Interned men. It Is composed of
several acres cut off from the remain
der of the yard so completely that it
eonis it little Germnny within Itself.
On one side In the Potomac river He

(1 now by the immense United States
jollier O'Ryan, In the mnklng. Green

the other two sides.
Must Have Pass.
The village must be approached
through gunrds from the O'ltynn col
'Icr side; so, unless you have a pass,
here Is little cliance of seeing It. The
- voentlve officers of the lnterned-shlps
iie the passes, regular navy yard of-
' -ers having nothing to do with them.
(ho village grew It became ob-
'is that It was planned with Infinite
'.ill. Not only were there houses nnd
irds lnld out, but even streets nnd
irks were added. The owner of each
niece of property was made to realize
1 '.tut he would be held strictly respon-
1 iiblo for his place being kept neat and
'lenn.
When wnnj of the bulldlns progress
that was being made reached tho out
side world German sympathizers be
.iu to lend a hand. Contributions of
various kinds poured In, and when, a
'cw weeks ngo, the first formnl open
ing was held, visiting crowds marveled
it the wonders tho Interned crews had
.'.orked with their poor material and
few outside contributions.
That opening dny was a proud one
for the residents. The band from tho
-hip and It Is a good one played;
tht men inarched nnd showed visitors
about the village, nnd a regular carni
val was stuged. With all of the busi
ness acumen of Ynnkee horso traders,
the Germans arrested persons for al
leged violations of their village laws
and fined them before magistrates.
All paid their fines willingly, for the
money went to tho German Bed Cross
fund for the benefit of blinded soldiers.
Every prisoner was permitted to assess
his own fine. Where fines were too
low or tho prisoner was good natured
ho was arrested again.
All of the usual attractions of nn
amateur carnival were at hand. There
were cold drinks, hot dogs and mu
fioums to soothe the pnlato and ease
tho eye. Frequently the mnyor, or
Dorfschulze, would post a new bulletin
on Uls bulletin board, and Immediately

the crowds would flock toward It and
rend with as much Interest us If It
had been the work of a regular mayor.
The houses are occupied only In tho
daytime. When sundown comes tho
men board their ships for the night
During tho daytime they enjoy them
selves on land nt will, drinking coffee,
playing cards or reading within the
houses.
Besides killing' time by Improving
the village, the men hnve a great num
ber of pets, and they also Indulge In
athletic games. They have dogs, chick
ens, birds nnd cats which they treasure
as children would. On the athletic
field they hold turnvcrclns, boxing
matches and nthletlc games, ns well
as swing Indian clubs and play medi
cine ball and football. All of the men
nre in splendid physical condition as
n result of their outdoor play. If
called upon to return to the sea tomor
row they would be none tho worse off
for their enforced vacation.
Their Chief Interest
War news, of course, forms tho
greater part of their Interest. They
follow every detnll closely, and when'
ever anything of great moment hap
pens, or Is reported to have happened,
the folk of the tldewnter country
anxiously inquire for the German vil
lage view of It And for persons in
terned as they aro they havo wonder

His Plans.
Silver Creek, N. Y. The greatest of
all miracles has occurred right In this
village. "Lew" Keith Is worth a for
tune. It Is hard for people to believe
It, buta It's un actual fact So far as
ho carl recall, "Low" never had moro
than five dollars at one time In his life,
nnd now he Is worth $60,000.
"Lew" Is the modern BIp Van
Winkle. He Is about sixty-five years of
age. He was born here, but moved
away soon ufter the war, with his
folks, and passed a few years in Mis
souri, returning again to remain the
rest of his life. A good many towns
have characters like "Lew." Ho can
recite Shnkespeare by the week. He Is
a philosopher with a qualntncss of ex
pression which mnkes him highly en
tertaining. He hns always in tide his
living "tinkering." He can make a
motor boat, a violin, n camera, a
threshing machine in fact, he can
make anything or mend anything thnt
anyone ever dreamed of. But ho
never tried to make any money. He
never wanted nny.
But listen to what has befallen him:
A few weeks ago John B. Webster,
vlllnge president, got a letter from Se
dalla, Mo., asking If "Lew" Keith wero
alive, nnd If so to furnish proofs of his
Identity.
"Tell 'em I'm nllve, all right," ,was
"Lew's" nonchalant comment.
Mr. Webster did. Back came a let
ter from tho vice president of n trust
company In St. Louis. This Is, In sub
stance, whnt It said :
In 1878 n mnn named Carter, living
In Sednlla, was ut work on u machlno
to separate zinc from ore. He was un
able to perfect his device. "Lew"
Keith, a young man, happened in and
tinkered around till tho machlno was
complete. "Lew" moved away. Mr.
Carter patented the machine and mado
n fortune out of It. Many times during
his life ho started to hunt up "Lew"
Keith, but never followed out tho no
tion. When he died, Mr. Carter, a very
happen In tho war, and which comes
true, frequently can be traced back to
tho village.
When the Deutschland successfully
eluded the allied cruisers recently the
vlllngo celebrated. But it did not cele
brate tho decision In the Appnni case
which would return the captured ves
sel to her English owners.
That Appam caso recalls the state- I
ment previously mnvje that the village i
has no desire for Ooro Inhabitants,
There Is some fear that the Appam
crew may bo added to the village, If It
should bo decided that It was the dutj
of tho United States as a neutral tc
Intern the men. And thnt Is not do
sired by the Germans. Every man wh
passes Into the vlllngo Is one more lo,1'
to the Germnn service during the wm
Hence to gain In population, u tiling
ardently desired by most villages
means a loss to the fatherland, which
Is not to be desired now.
Inside, the vlllnge is very, very Ger
man. They speak the German lan
guage, they sing the Germnn songs,
they follow the German customs. But
If one tires of thnt, he soon can turn to
things that are American. For In
stance, just outside the village there Is
n long row of ns fine sunflowers ns
are growing anywhere in the state of
Kansas, and running n and out of the
navy yard there are some taxlcab driv
ers who surely are direct descendants
of some of our pioneer American road
agents. ,
wealthy man, provided in his will that
$00,000 should he set aside to provide
an Income for life for "Low" Keith, in '
enso he could be found. '
The receipt of this Information
caused some comment and surprise In
Silver Creek. It didn't bother "Lew"
much. One day ho was observed wend-'
Ing n somewhat unsteady course from
one hotel to another, nnd he was asked
wherefore. '
"Nothln', only, I've been somewhat,
staggered by the news," he said.
It's nil true. Lew says he was In
Sednlla in 1878. He snys he worked
for Mr. Carter and helped him with the '
mnchlne. I
"It wasn't anything to worry over, '
though," he snys. "All Carter needed
was a suggestion or two, and I had
the suggestions that's all there was
to It"
A few dnys ago a check came from
the St Louis trust company, nnd with
It a letter asking that "Lew" Journey
to Sednlla to establish himself permit- '
nently in his new Income. "Low" has
gone. Word has come back that "ev
erything Is all right."
Tho trust fund provides nn Incothe
at the rate of six per cent or $3,000 n
year. This Is roughly $08 a week. Con
sidering that "Lew" has never earned
more than ten or ilfteen nltnough he
might enblly have earned many times
thnt If he had applied his Ingenuity,
this weekly provision Is worth mention
ing. "I shall build a bungalow myself,"
snld "Lew" the. other day. "I shall '
have It lined with shelves. One shelf
will contain a demijohn so visitors '
shall not depart unrefreshed. The oth
ers will contain books, and I'll spend .
my time reading. I'll read my heart
off. There Is one observation I would
like to mako: One never knows how
many friends he has till he has a for '
tune left to him. I have received ten
Invitations to dinner already from pet I
pie who hadn't spoken to mo In thirty
years. It all proves that vlrtuo Is Its
own reward."
