Amsterdam, Holland. Jan. LILLE

war tax; the feeding Of German troops
has cost US a million and a half while
the city's damage from bombardment

the mayor of Lille to Gen. Won Heind-
rich, the military governor, begging to
be excused from paying an additional
war tax of 100000 francs, which the
governor had demanded
The governors reply, according to
the Lille Bulletin. which is now pub

havior of the population I will allow
the payment of the remainder to be
postponed for a week" The governor
declined to recognize any obligation on
the part of the Germans to feed the
citizens, and recommended that the
mayor import corn from England

"UNITED STATES IS SAVING
U.s." SAYS ANTWERP COUNCIL

Antwerp. Belgium. Jan. 1.-THE
help Of the United states is literally
saving US states a resolution of graft
tude adopted by the intercOmmunal
council of Antwerp.
The resolution reads:
"Our cordial thanks are due to the
American commission for relief in Bel
gium. Our nation was on the brink of
starvation. Famine was being added 10
the horrors of war. In this great city
of Antwerp a short time ago, it was i'm
possible to distribute bread, and now
soup and other food are being given
daily to the poor.
THE help of the people of the United
States is literally saving us. We are
contracting a debt of endless @ratitude
to them It is a general consolation
that, in the midst of the sufferings
which our people are enduring, the men
and women of the greatest of modern
democracies are in such a splendid way
standing by one of the smallest nations
in the world, which is suffering hOr-
ribIy because it elected to be true to
its duty and its honor"

DETAIL SURGEONS TO MAKE
REPAIRS ON MARRIED FACES

Havre, France. Jan. 1.-THE French

eminent surgeons, professors Tufflier
MOrestin and Sebilean, to make "aes-

tions from the faces of those wounded
in the war.
If a man loses his nose or any part
or his face, or a Disagreement is caused
by a wound. the face will be repaired
by skin grating. and the latest dis
coveries in surgical science will be
used to remedy the deformity.
Several cases have already been sue

RUSSIA STOPS
RELIEF PARTY
WithhoIds Permission From
Missionaries Who Were
to Aid War Prisoners.

Washington, D. c., Jan. '1l.-Russia's
approval of the relief expedition for
German and Austrian prisoners in 81
IBERIA camps, headed by American mis-
sionaries at Pe6in. China, which was
taken by officials here Is granted, has
been withheld, it was learned today,
and the whole project awaits further
negotiations. The American Red Cross
learned today that the expedition has
been held up at Hardin.
Coincidentally came an official dis
patch to the Austrian embassy contain
ing a pointed intimation that unless
Austria's prisoners in Siberian wastes
in Servia and in France were better
treated, there would be retaliation
upon prisoners in Austro- Hungary. s.
Austria's Communications Ignored.
Two requests forwarded by the state
department to Petrograd from the Aus
Hungarian government demanding
better conditions have been unan-
swered. The Vienna foreign office,
after declaring that the Spanish am
bassadOr there had testified that Aus
trials prisoners were maintained in full
accordance with the demands of inter-
national law and the dictates Of hui
manity, intimated today that Strlcter
methods would be put into force un-
less some assurances were forthcoming
from Seryia and Russia that the prison
camps in these two countries were rem
dered more habitable.
AIeEe Camps Unsanitary.
1t was stated at the embassy here
that conditions in French detention
camps also were bad, especially in the
south, where American inspection had
not been permitted. A special case, the
death Of a personal friend of DR.. Dunn
ba. the American ambassador, which, 1t
is alleged, was caused by unsanitary
conditions, has been laid before the
state department Although the de-
tention camps in England, Germany,
Hungary and parts of France
have been open to neutral inspection,
the officials in Russia and Servia, the
Austrian embassy says, have ignored
requests for similar examinations.
Hope to Extend Relief.
In Pekin Austrian and German off
Gals appealed to the Russian legation
and received a promise of cooperation
for alienation of conditions in 81
IBERIA. After a consultation be-
tween Mr.. Reinsch, the American
minister to Pel1in, and the Russian
minister at that capital, the American
Red Cross financed a committee of
missionaries of mixed natiOnalities to
convey supplies O. medicine, food and
clothing.
Officials here hope and expect the
Russian government will give its con-
sent as soon as it realizes the earnest
uesire of the American missionaries to
extend relief.

of the embassy. They went close to
the battle line west of the city.
Mr.. Baker, in recOunting details Of
the experience, said:

presents, including war sweaters and

GERMAN MINE
BURIES FRENCH
Explosion Annihilates One
Force and Rattles An
other Badly.

Hamburg. Germany, Jan. 11.-Har-
rowing and exciting details of mining
and blowing up trenches are told by
German officer in a letter to a local
newspaper, describing in particular the
capture of a strong position held by
the French in the Argonne forest. Many
of the French soldiers were killed and
the others were captured. The crown
prince sent blankets ana VINE 70 the
men who accomplished this feat. The
letter follows:
by the first. of December our COM
pany had been under fire for the fifth
time. and the distance between our
trench and that of the French had de
10 feet But the company on our left
was seDaraUed from the French by a
vale, on the far side of which the enemy
had laid out three lines of trenches.
I'VE had come to consider the posi-
tiOn as impreSaable But progress had
to be made somehow. Our pioneer de-
tachmenr, therefore, decided to mine
the French trenches near the position
of our company.
Fear French Mine.
Some of us feared that the French
would be doing the same thing and
would try to blow US up first Our
men worked hard for this reason. At
1920 in the morning our first trench
was cleared of men, and at 1915 all of
our companies advanced through
actly 11:19 when the pioneer lieutenant
placed his thumb on the electric but
ton.
In front of US shot up a large, black
column of earth and gases It was fully
600 feet high and when it collapsed a
rain of earth fell down on us Our
men had taken cover in the woods, and
it was well that they had done so. For
about two minutes it rained great
chunks of earth and rock.
Many Buried Alive.
when it was safe again in the open
for our companies advanced through
the hole which had been blown in the
French position. The first trench was
full of dead soldiers and some who
had been buried alive. In the second
and third trenches the French were
so ratified that they surrendered easily.
Inside of half an hour we had taken
the entire force of the three trenches
eight officers and 378 men. Two Off
GERS were among the dead.
I'VE also took three mine catapuIts
from the French. Our losses were three
dead and seven wounded But we were
lucky indeed. Among the French
prisoners we took were some pioneers.
who told US that they had mined our
trenches at eight points, but had not
been able so far to place the mines
They had attempted too much and had
lost"
