Huns Tired of Fighting,
Says Wounded Prisoner

American Field Headquarters in
France, Oct. SO.-The big majority Of
the German army-the privates-are
weary of war and yearn for peace.
The officers, getting good salaries and
able to keep about the first-line
trenches, do not care how long the
war lasts.
These statements were made by the
American expeditionary forces first
German prisoner just before he died
from the wound he received when he
failed to halt at an American patrols
command. This prisoner, who was
barely 10 years Of age, was called to
the colors a year ago and had been
fighting in the frst-line trenches in
this sector most of the time since.
The German expressed the greatest
surprise that he had been taken pris-
Oner by Americans. He said that he
had heard there were a few American
soldiers in France, but didn't dream
they were on the fighting line. The
officers. he said. never impaired such
information to the men.
Asked about conditions in the in
terror OF Germany, the prisoner smil-
ed wanIy and said he was sorry, but
he didn't know.
1T has been nine months since 1
have heard from folks at home" he
told the Americans.
The German was acting as a mail
carrier when he was captured, He
said he had started for some distant
trenches. He was unfamiliar with
the trench system in that sector and
found himself out in NO Mans Man."
The Americans. who were out on a
scouting expedition I'm front of their
own barbed-wire defenses, spotted the
German at the same moment he saw
them. The American command to halt
rang out, but the German started to
run. The two Polish-Americans, one
from Chicago and the other from Mil
waukee. who get credit for the cap
tuTe. both fired, and the German
dropped without a cry.
Several Americans rushed forward
and picked the wounded man up. He
was rushed at once to an American
field hospital not far behind the lines.
He was conscious, but very weak.
One bullet had shattered his left arm
and the other had pierced his alb
domen. A young American surgeon, a
graduate of the University of Pennsyl-
vania and formerly a surgeon at the
Philadelphia General Hospital, op-

his life that he would If handling a

IF he had only not got the wound

He was a nervy little chap. While
he was being operated on he looked

Rooms on Wednesday evening, not
only did the officers congratulate
themselves on the work thus far
done, not only did they decide that
DR.. Magnes' suggestion that
the $4,000 be raised to $4,000,
but one of the most conservative
men on the committee proposed
that before the 6 months are up, an
effort be made to raise the sum Of
100000!
How is this to be done? The
original workers on the committee
will continue to do their share.
The large contributors, (and the
smaller ones, too) are, we believe,
good for SO per cent of their pledg-
es. How about the others? In all,
our lists contain about 700 names.
Assuming that each name stands
for four individuals, we have at the
utmost, only about three thousand
Minneapolis Jews accounted for.
What of the large majority who
have not yet been heard from? Un-
questionably, the rest Of the work
of the campaign will be devoted
largely to getting them to give.
Now, the poorer ones, have in the
last two and a half years trained
themselves to give as generously as
they could to the-house-to-house
collectors, or to bring even their
small sums to the Rabbits or to the
Sub-treaSurers.
But, what about you, Mr.. Bust
ness-man, who gave neither at the
luncheon or at the mass meeting?
What are you going to do? What
must we do to get you? We, of the
committee, also have to work for a
living, some of us at least are as
busy attending to our own affairs
as you are with yours. You know
how to reach us. If you don't,
here's the information: The treas
urer is John Friedman; checks can
be sent to the Financial Secretary,
David Goldblum, 1O7 N. 9Th St., or
to the office of the Relief Commit
tee, 416 Minnesota Loan and Trust
Bldg. Just you send your contri-
button, and it will reach us. If nee
essary, we'll be glad to call on you.
But why make men who are just as
busy as you come after you one,
two, or half a dozen times? True,
you didn't hear DR.. Magnes. Whose
fault was that? Besides, the loss
is yours, for DR.. Magnes is speak
er worth going to another city to
hear, not merely to the auditorium.
DR.. Magnes appealed to everyone in
whose heart there burns even the

Strong, when an international scheme
may be perfected along lines suggest

some other form that will put an end
to all war and yet protect the weak
nations against aggressions of the
strong and establish right as against

national rights and liberties and ter.

treasure until such time arrives.
