A Russian prisoner ho recently
returned f:om uernunv, has made a
ttaieuient at Moscow which U now
'available fcete. to the effect that he
saw American prisoners of war in
camp at Tuchel. west Frussia. and
that they asked him to let it be
known that they were being treated
brutally. The prisoners said they
were hungry and penniless.
When the Americana arrived at the
ramp. ac:ordin to this account, the
Germans removed their clothes. They
were particularly anxious to have the
Americans' shoe.. They told the pris
oners they should uot wear expen
sive clothing and shoes while work-
i init and that their property would be
taken care of until their return to
I America. The Russian said, however,
thnt everyone knows what that
means. A consul, ine uussiaa was
not sure whether he was a Swiss or
a Spaniard. vUited the camp. Com
plaint was nude to him by the Amer
icans and their clothes were returned,
but as the consul seldom visited the
camp the Germans had opportunity
to practice many injustices.
The Russian said 'ht American?
captured seveial months aso reached
jthe camp at midday and being very
hunsary. asked tor bread. They were
told bread was distributed only In the
morning. They were piaeea tn a nut
with Russians, after being required
to stand in a biia.ire where Germans
were given an opportunity to insult
them. The huts in which the Amer
icans are livin?. the Russian said, are
jdamp. cold and untie for habitation.

Careful measurements of two holes
made by a single shell in passin;
through two awnings in a Paris fac
tory enabled French artillery officers
to locate the great German long
range suns by a feat of mathema
tics. To Chester M. Wright, a mem
ber ot the American labor mission,
whieh has just returned from Europe.
French officers explained how the di
rect ion and distance of the gun was
figured.
The two awnings were several feet
apart and the relation of one to the
other gave perfect data on the course
which the shell had taken as it ap
proached the earth. After the aper
tures had been measured to the one
thousan 1th part of an inch and the
direction of the shell's fall exactly
established, the earlier career of the
shell became a problem on paper.

divisions of the Cror. n Prince's Army
were massed against the seven of the
Allies. On ?il ether portions of the
front the Allies held their ground
and even made gains. Hut it was
the drive for the Maine that was the
feature of the wek in the war and
its quirk consummation that marks
the week as the' best Germany has
had. There can be no longer doVbt
about the German intention to march
on Paris and the closing situation of
the week indicated that the German
commanders will throw their forces
in the direction of Montdidier, Al
bert and Amiens, iu an effort to split
the British and French and make a
way to Paris. The German front on
the west bank of the Maine covers
a distance of ten miles, and within
24 hours of having arrived there the
undertaking to force a passage was
attempted. In this, however, the Ger
mans were unsuccessful, having been
driven back. The Germans advance
on the Chateau-Thierry sector has
been checked by the French and the
German hurled backed to some ex
tent, and the French are holding
much recaptured ground. One war
correspondent thinks that the Ger
mans, having reached tiie Maine,
will now dig in there and await a
more favorable opportunity to renew
the drive, but this is improbable, Ger
many has been meeting with too
much success to make a nautius
movement probable, unless halted by
force.
One German paper evidently
speaks "straight" when it says that
this is not a new attack, but is a
continuation of the German war plans
when halted In the first drive, and
that it has been broadening and de
veloping exactly according to the Ger
man program. This same paper gives
some significant light on the situa
tion and in which there may be found
explanation for the success of the
drive so far a3 it has gone. It is
because while the Germans have been
concentrating their attacks on a short
section of the Allied lines, General
Foch's main Army has been disposed
to the region north of Amiens and
has not been engaged against the
Germans. This German authority
speaks, futher, of the difficulties in
store for the Germans in their future
