GERMAN CAMP NEARBY

Federal Government Looking Over Land in Towns of Berne, Coeymans and Westerlo for Farm for Interned Germans — May Raise Food Stuffs for Mobilization Camp.

That the government is planning to establish in Albany county camps for the interned German sailors in this country became known when a representative of the federal authorities went to the office of the county clerk last week and investigated the titles of property in Coeymans, Westerlo and Berne. It has been known that the interned sailors of the seized German merchant ships have been a problem to the government, and it was freely hinted that the authorities were on the lookout for a spot where the sailors could all be interned, and, if deemed necessary, where they could be put to work at farming.
