American field hospital, having
been shot when he encountered
an American patrol in No Mans
Land in front Of the American
trenches.
He, with another German, was
discovered Saturday night by the
patrol and IVES called upon to
halt. The Germans ran; the pa
troll fired and one OF the enemy
was hit. The prconer wcs treat
ed at dressing station and re-
moved to a field hospital, where
the combined efforts of several
surgeons failed to save his life.
The prisoncd was mail car.
'rier. and letters Of some value
were found on him. He ex-
planned his presence near the
American trenches. saying he had
lost his way In the dark. He de-
clared that the German soldiers
did not know that Americans
were on the front or in France,
the officers telling them nothing.
