Mrs. Steinmetz recounted an Incl
dent that occurred some time before
she left her native land, in which she
played prominent part. She stated
that while on a shopping tour in the
heart of Mainz one day, she noticed
four persons dressed as Catholic
nuns. She followed them and her sus
picions were aroused. She called the
attention Of four policemen to the
quartet and later met two army Off
GERS to whom she related the story
The four were Immediately arrested
searched and found to be Russian
spies. They were executed
she told Of a party of Russian pris
ouers she had seen march under guard
into the city. They were nearly
starved" said Mrs. Steinmetz. They
were camped near a soap factory
When the German bread wagon came
along. delivering bread to the prison
ers, they were so hungry that they
rushed to the soap factory, dipped
their bread into the soft soap and de-
voursed it with much relish"
In the opinion OF Mrs Steinmetz,
the attempt on the part Of England to
starve Germany is of little avail. She
says there is plenty of food and that
il is supplied from Norway, Sweden,
Holland aid some from Italy. The
prices, she asserts, are about the same
as during normal conditions.
The stories of the German and
French soldiers swapping stories, ci-
gars and wine at Christmas. engaging
in games and amusements when not
fighting, is true, but says that the
British and German soldiers are bit
ter enemies and that they meet only
to fight She says that Germany has
taken in all $4,000 prisoners and
merely laughed at the idea Of Ger
many having lost 100000 men in the
field already.
Her husband is now at home, hav-
ing been relieved from duty some
weeks ago. She states that when a
big battle is now pending, the married
men at the front are allowed to visit
their homes, being replaced by fresh
troops, but subject to call

Mrs. Steinmetz. She asserted that in
