GERMAN OFFICERS DRIVE
MEN TO BATTLE.

AFIELD, May II. '(By MaiD - I'm
less the unexpected happens few here
look for early peace Generals speak
of plans for spring and summer of
1918 quite as if the war is to continue
for years, so out of dozens of CONVEX
sations the keynote impression is that
the United States should push her
preparations with as much dispatch
as is consistent with efficiency.
The most recent German prisoners
offer visible and audible proof that
German troops are not to be spared
if their sacrifice can help the Hohen-
zollerns.
Lean-faccd prisoners tell of insult
ficient food, of brutal treatment by
their officers, of being driven to the
attack with automatic revolvers at
their backs Casually the men accept
kicks and blows with a mere inward
promise to make their tyrant pay in
full after the war. A priest in
French village recently retaken from
the Germans told me he had seen
many cases of bad treatment of men
by their superiors. One day at his
house a German officer had told him
he said. that German soldiers had to
be driven like cattle and just to IL
lustrate his point he called an orderly
to him, struck him a powerful blow in
the face, so hard in fact that the SOL
dier's eye was black for days after.
wards, telling him to fetch something
from the kitchen. The soldiers only
reply was a quick click of the heels
and a rigid salute.
"That's the way we keep them in
hand" said the officer to the priest.
A prisoner just taken from a Gren-
adler Regiment told of being present
in cabaret in Confines with 90 or
30 other Saxon troops who were sing
ing ribald songs when six officers en-
l'itu' MS lHt SlHg luS htIll up pHe
of the officers objected whereupon
the tune was changed to shouts of
"Raus NIT him"
In the main soldiers let themselves
be driven without protest. The Prus--
sian ruling classes are daily drilling
into the masses the idea that the
world wishes to annihilate the Ger
man people. Such is the situation in
the German army today as one views
it after talking with German prison
ers.
On the other side of the picture one
sees the British and the French dog
gedly determined to fight to knock
out if it takes another twelve months
or any number of months.
SO the war promises to be long un-
less the German people suddenly see
the light. And the United States
must hold her part of the line. By
summer of 1918 the American army
should have taken over third of the
French front.
