Officials Do Not Doubt the
Truth OF The Dispatches
From Germany
REWARDS OFFERED
FOR II. s. SOLDIERS
Were Probably Taken Pris-
oners In Night Raid Be
tween the Trenches
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, Nov. 3. - None of
Pershing's dispatches received by the
war department up to this afternoon
says anything about any American
troops having been captured by the
Germans, but officials here have no
reason to doubt the Berlin announce
ment.
Capture, killing and wounding OF
American troops on the battlefront,
they say, will be one OF the inevitable
fortunes of war. Moreover, the Ger
man high command has appeared
very eager to capture some Ameri-
cans and recently the commanders on
the front offered special money re-
wards and other inducements to the
first German troops who should take
q. man in the American uniform.
Although the sector in which the
American unit is being hardened to
trench warfare is comparatively a
quiet one there have been night raid
ing, parties on both sides-in which
American soldiers participated-and
if some have been taken prisoners 1t
probably was on one of those
nocturnal exploits when the raiders
from the French trenches met up
with a German patrol prowling about
in No Mans Land.
Ine government mas LdhSh stSpS 10
be assured that American prisoners
in German hands win fare as well
as 1t is possible to arrange 1t and,
indeed, their lot may be better than
the average. Through the Red Cross
at Geneva the government has arr
ranged to provide food and clothing
for American prisoners so they may
NOT be forced to depend on the in
sufficient and constantly shrinking
bounty Of the Germans.
