Articles on u. s.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-All Spain is

can effort in the war appearing in "A,

day by the Committee on Public lnfor-
nation from its representative in Ma

The articles are contributed by Joe
Martinez RIM, novelist and literary
critic, who is she first Spanish writer to
visit the American front. Only his
preemincnt literary position has infiu-
enced the paper to publish the arti-
cles, says the dispatch, and the writer
is being violently attacked by other
pro-German papers.
RIM, who uses the pen name "Azo-

dispatch, that he will use the full
strength of his pen to make his coun-
try know the truth about the United
States" He added:
''In 1898 we suffered a disastrous

ignorance. 1t shall not occur again if

is bound up with the future of America

u. S. Prisoners Are
Not Complaining,
Says Dutch Writer
Visits Americans in Camps
at Darmstadt, Lirnburg
and Giessen
" Strapping Fellows "
May Be Envied, He Says, for
Luxuries Of Red Gross
Parcels

THE HAGUE, Aug 5-A Dutch cor
respondent of the "Nieuwe Courant,' -
of this city, has written for that paper
an account of a visit which he made, in
company with an American correspon-
dent, to the American prisoners of war
at camps in Darmstadt, Lmburg and
Giessen.
The number of American prisoners,
he says, in a letter dated july "a at
Coblenz. is mot particularly large" in
any one Of these three camps, and none
OF the prisoners was an officer. They
were mostly National Guardsmen, he
reports-fine strapping fellows. he calls
them-the majority of whom had been
captured in early June near Chateau
! Thierry, a few only of them belonging
to mixed detachments which had been
stationed not far from Nerdun. Some
+ OF them had arrived in France as far
back as last November, while others
had reached this side in February.
Red Cross Supplies Parcels
The Americans, continues the CORE
spondcnt, have not yet been educated
up to the highest estate of prison life,
contrasting in this respect with the
French, who have quite brilliant ora
tors to convey requests or complaints
TO the prison authorities. The Ameri-
cans, however, he comments, may be
envcd for their weekly parcels from
the Red Cross, containing peace-time
Injuries, with everything of excellent
quality The bread they receive, he
says, will shortly, for practical reasons,
be given in the form of biscuits.
The question of the prisoners cloth
correspondent reports that they wore
caps Of the various Entente armies, and
sometimes French trousers with Brit
sh tunics.
The spondent seems amazed at
the fact that of every score of Ameri-
cans with whom he talked there were
always some of European birth. With
the exception of an engineer, a law
student and a bookkeepcr, none of
those he met belonged to the profess
sional classes.
Faced Machine Gun Fire
A few of the men. the writer de-
clares, complained that they had been
rushed forward to face whitening
machine gun fire. while one badly
wounded man in a hospital said he had
been wounded by the artillery fire from
his own side.
1t may be questioned whether the
correspondent is spontaneously respon-
siblc for the statements he makes that
none of the Americans complained of
i'll treatment by their captors and that
no excessive sympathy seemed to exist
between the Americans and the British
