GERMANY IS UNFAIR IN
EXCHANGE OF PRISONERS

Germany IL looting Russia even in
the exchange of prisoners, according
to a letter received in Boise from
Y. w. c. A. secretary who is in Rus
STA engaged in Blue Triangle Club
and welfare work for Russian girls.
In return for physically at Ger
man prisoners. Germany is sending
back Russian soldiers who are pita-
BILE wrecks Of humanity, she writes.
The letter continues:
Germany has COMMITTEE Of 500
men here choosing their own prison
ers for exchange. They choose only
the most at, yet they VIII not grant
this privilege of selection to the Rus
SLAMS. So the exchange 10 very un-
fair"
THE condition of the returned
Russian soldiers is appalling. They
are skeletons and physical wrecks,
over seventy per cent dying of tu-
berculosis."
These poor fellows are stunned by
the changed conditions in Russia
How they are scoring Russia for not
doing her part. And they want tC
go back and fight Germany. Theil
return is doing much to arouse th'
/ Russians once more to action"

SPEED OF AMERICANS
DUMFOUNDS GERMANS.

With the First American Army In
Lorraine, Sept. 20.--With feverish /
energy the German high command Is
seeking to repair the havoc rent in |
what 1t had come to consider an i'm |
pregnable part of it's front by the ra-
pier thrust of Pershing's First Army.
The few reserves which Ludendorff
feels he can spare from his western
sectors and the even fewer units avail
able in Alsace are racing to the Hin
denberg line i'm Lorraine. This series
of positions extends from the Mouse
north OF Verdun through the Woevre
plain, then south of Fresnes and
Chambley to the Moselle.
Don't Know When TO Stop"
The offensive so triumphantly con-
cluded was never intended to assail
this line, Pershing's purpose being
merely to erase the st. Mihiel salient
from the map. Having been cogniz-
ant OF the detectives our divisions
were expected to reach in two days
and actually did reach in less than "a
hours--I can state that with complete
assurance. But the enemy evidently
feels, as a Prussian sergeant put 1t to
Secy. Of War Baker, that Americans
don't know when to stop" and is
taking no chances of being driven
back still further. Trains are pouring
into (deIeted), chiefly from the east,
most, Of them carrying Austro-Hunga-
rian units.
The elements of two of Emperor
Charles divisions surrendered to the
Americans north of St. Mihiel and
without displaying much desire to re-
Hist. Ludendorff, however, can no
longer pick and choose, so the Aus
tro-HunRarianB must be used to hold
the Hindenberg lines in this sector.
I'VE have the most circumstantial
evidence that German militarism col
lapsed under Pershing's body blow
as II has never done before.
Officers taken prisoner have ad-
mitted this and have roundly cursed
their superiors. They say that while
the Imperial general staff were ig-
norant of the exact date and hour al
which we meant to strike they were
certain II would come and should
have made adequate provision to es-
cape disaster.
There was no excuse, they insist fol
not having prevented Pershing from
nutting a cork in the neck of the bot
tie formed by the Mouse heights and
st. Mihiel, Montsec and Nonsard. NJ
effort should have been spared, &C
cording to Germans whom we have
gathered in hundreds, to prevent the
junction Of the Franco-American fore
90 advancing eastward from the Els
parges sector and those heading
northward from the Seicheprey-Fey
en-Haye line.
1t was the establishment OF contac
between these two groups of divisions
that cooped up many thousands O.
Germans in the territory roughly
bounded by Vigneulles on the north
Nonsard and Montsec on the east, Ap
remont Forest and st. Mihiel on thu
south and Lamorville and Dompierre
aux-Bois on the west.
