American soldiers prisoner" today's
official statement announced.
North American soldiers" doubtless

NO ANNOUNCEMENT
FROM WASHINGTON

Washington, Nov. 3.-Announcement
by Berlin today that North Americans
were among prisoners taken on the
Marne- Rhine canal created much spec
ulation at the war department. No
reports from General Pershing have
announced the capture of any of his
men at the front.
The state and war departments both
inclined to the belief that the captured
troopers were probably among mem
bers of the French foreign legion.
Official announcement was withheld
pending word from General Pershing,
The view was held that the German
statement purposely said North
Americans" to fool" the German peo-
pie into believing United States troops
had been captured.
IF United States troops We're taxi
en-, the Germans would have recog-
nized them as such Immediately" said
one official. Their statement that
the captives were North Americans is
camouflage."
One result Of the announcement from
Berlin, however. is to be an effort to
get Pershing and Admiral Sims to
speed up word of any happenings In
which American naval or military
forces are concerned, so that Wash
ington will get the word before and
not after the cables have brought the
news unofficially.
