CReuter' s.)-The French and Ameri-
can troops have evidently reached a
line beyond which the enemy consid-
ers they cannot be allowed to advance
with safety to his defenses, and he
has thrown himself against this new
line with an energy which discloses
the arrival Of fresh troops.

Sept. 10.-The enemy heavily shelled
towns in the Woevre sector behind
our lines this morning. One Of his
patrols attacked the American out
posts but was easily driven off.
There was considerable patrol &C.
tivity in the Vosges district last night.
One encounter took place, the enemy
retiring with one wounded man. COL
ored troops have occupied one Vosges
village in which French civilians were
held prisoners. The Frenchmen on
coming through to the American lines
declared that the Germans were con-
siderably excited at finding them
selves opposed by negroes Of whom
they are afraid because of reports
that the American troops cut off the
ears Of their prisoners.
The negro soldiers in this sector
recently had an example Of German
treachery when a German patrol att
tackled after shouting "Kamerad".
They are now thoroughly determined
to have their revenge.

OF prisoners of war by the Germans is
described by wounded British prison

have arrived at The Hague. All
prisoners are badly treated and are
on virtually starvation rations. The
prison camps at Soltau and Crossen,

particularly evil condition.

most numerous in the camp at Sol

the object OF inducing the Belgiaus
to side with Germany. They, how
ever, stoned these ernissaries and
made things unpleasant for the COM

whole camp was visited with punish

The condition OF Russian prison

from which these British prisoners
had come, is declared to be pitiable.

perform the tasks imposed on them.
Several OF the British soldiers
came from StraIkowo, in the prov

80 Americans arrived there.
At the camp at Cgossen, in Brand

Many OF these men suffered from

erous deaths occurred. ...
At one time there were in this
camp 140 British prisoners captured

In May. They were compelled to

rails and pushing trucks for ~

Nelson Morris, American minister to
Sweden, said today in reminding the
American people that every energy
must be put into the war.
Mr.. Morris said his statement re-
garding the food situation was based
on many reports from reliable
sources which had reached him at
Stockholm. It was prompted by
many published reports regarding
conditions in the German empire
which had come to his attention
since he recently returned to the
United States.
There can be no question:" the
minister said, that there is a short

but to state that this borders on the

misleading. There Is no doubt that
