BERLIN NOT IN CLOSE
 TOUCH WITH WAR PRISON

LONDON, August 1, Correspond ence).-Admission that the treatment of German war prisoners in Great Britain was superior to the treatment received in any other country. was made by the chief German delegate to the recent conference of British and Germans on war prisoners, ac- cording to a statement made by Bar on Newton, one of the British dele gates, in the House of Commons.
 One impression he derived from his intercourse with the delegates was that, in spite of the German powers of centralization, Berlin headquarters did not know a great deal of what went on. That impression, he said, more or less confirmed what James W. Gerard, the late American ambas- sador at Berlin, used to tell him, that there was less centraization than was supposed and that the control at Ser lin over prisoners of war was nothing like so effective as in this country. He had a strong suspicion that a great deal went on in various German camps of which the central German admin istration knew little.

ACCOUNTING FOR 'MINNIE"
 NEAR YPRES
When Trench Guns Get Too Active Along Comes Artillery Expert
 Exit Gun
REHIND- RRITIsH LINES IN

BEHIND BRITISH LINES IN FRANCE, Aug. lG, Correspondence O, The Associated Press).-"1Hnnie" is a very forward young lady who lives as a rule in German front line trenches. She has no pretensions at all to beauty. She is for use, not for ornament. She is a trench gun, and her projectiles remind one of plum pudding attachment to sticks. They fly very irregularly but burst very regularly in that part of NO-Man's Land furthest removed from lIinnie's temporary lodging.
 Just before the latest push around Ypres, there was a particular Minnie located a few miles from Ypres, which was more than usually a nuisance. The British trench was not well sited, nor very well protected Consequently, when Minnie was active, she made things very uncomfortable for the oc- cupants of that British trench. More over, she had no regular habits, she worked on no plan, ladylike, she did just about as she wished
 The young British subalterns hated her with a persistent, pervading ha- tired, and concocted many schemes for her undoing, but to no avail. But one night, chance brought into the trench a very irritable old artillery officer just as Minnie was active. One of lIinnies buildings soiled his boots, and thereby aroused in him a grim determination to devote himself to her destruction.
 He stayed in the trench all that night, studying lIinnie's location and characteristics, and on the morrow he returned, followed by his orderly, un- coiling wire as he walked. At the trench end of the wire a temporary telephone was fixed. The far end of the wire led back a mile and half to a battery of filed artillery.
 Along about noon Minnie opened up for her midday srafe. Promptly the artillery officer verified his observa- tions of the night before and spoke a few figures into the telephone. A minute later loud boom announced the arrival of a British shell just across on the other side of No-Man's Land. The British officer swore soft ly, and spoke again into the telephone. The first shell had been at least thirty yards off. The second was perhaps twenty yards on the other side. Again the officer spoke into the telephone, and for the third time the gun spoke Bulls Eye" sang the officer into the telephone, and packed up his belong ings in business-Hke fashion. Minnie was deceased.
