Hun Prisoners Show Disregard For

prisoners captured i'm the recent fight
ing who have arrived here, show q
surprising depreciation of the once
coveted Iron Cross. One of them
traded his decoration for cigarette
and an American officer who accom-
panied the captives from France said
several of them spoke s1ightingly of
the war token bestowed upon them by
Emperor William.
"a marked change in the demeanor
of the new prisoners was also notice
able Instead of the arrogant and
almost insoIent manner which char
acterized their predecessors, when the
Germans were sweeping everything
before them, the latest contingent
seems humble and crestfa1len. Al
most every officer and one in ten of
the men wore the ribbon of the Iron
Cross.
The tobacco famine which exists
among the prisoners makes IL easy
for American soldiers to collect SOU
venirs. The Germans will part with
almost any Of their belongings for a
package Of cigarettes.
American troops are leaving here
for France daily, with bands playing
and flags flying.
