KAISER PLANS TO END WAR
In FALL SAY PRISONERS
ASSOCIATED Press.)

With the American Army in France,
Wednesday, June 1.-THE excellence
of the American artillery fire was
largely responsible for the capture by
American marines of approximately
400 prisoners in the fighting which re-
suited in the clearing out of the Bel
ieau wood, northwest of Chateau
Thierry. The Germans, who had been
told to avoid capture because the
Americans would torture them, started
to run after the American machine
gunners had made the wood untenable,
but the artillery barrage was so per-
feet that the Germans were cut off
from escape.
Among the prisoners are six officers
"a major, a captain and four lieuten-
ants. All were poorly clad and had
some pieces of bread tied to their uni
forms with string. The prisoners said
they were glad to be captured and sew
eral expressed a desire to go to the
United States after the war to live.
The scarcity of officers in the Ger
man army is shown by the fact that
one of the prisoners, a first sergeant,
commanded a company. He said this
was a common thing now. All the
prisoners expressed admiration for the
fighting qualities of the Americans.
The barn in which the prisoners
were confined today in the rear of the
American lines held more prisoners of
war than the United States has had
in one building at any time in more
than fifty years.

President S Message to
Mrs. Cats Given Out

Washington, June 13.-The full text
ply to the memorial presented by a
delegation of leading suffragists on a
visit to the White House, in which he
declares for political freedom for
women, is as follows:
MY Dear Mrs. Catt--May / not
thank you for transmitting to me the
very interesting memorial addressed to
me by the French union for woman
suffrage under date of Feb. 1 last.
"Since you have been kind enough to
sive message to me, will you not be
good enough to convey to the sub
scribers this answer:
"I have read your message with the
deepest interest and l welcome the op-
portunity to say that'I agree without
reservation that the full and sincere
democratic reconstruction of the world
for which we are striving, and which
we are determined to bring about at
any cost, will not have been COM
pletely or adequate attained until
women are admitted to the suffrage,
and that only by that action can the
nations of the world realize for the
benefit of future generations the full
ideal force of opinion, or the full hu-
name forces of action.
1.-The services of women during the
supreme crisis of the worlds history
have been of the most signal useful
ness and distinction. The war could
not have been fought without them or
it's sacrifices endured. 1t is high time
that some part of our debt of graft
tude to them should be acknowledged
and paid and the only acknowledg-
ment they ask is their admission to the
suffrage. Can we justly refuse It? AS
for America, II is my earnest hope that
the senate of the United States will
give an unmistakable answer to this
question by passing the suffrage
amendment to our federal Constitution
before the end of this session"

London, June 13.-The Germans, at
severe cost, continue to push down the
Matz valley, where an abundance of
small woods afford maximum protec-
ton for French machine guns and ar
tllery, says Reuters correspondent at
French headquarters. telegraphins
Wednesday Further west the French
have pursued their progress on the
Merry plateau and have pushed the
enemy off the eastern slope into the
valley.
This position" the correspondent
adds, ION which tie enemy believed
himself firmly established forty eight
hours ago, was of great importance to
his advance on the center, as it over
looks the Matz valley and commands
the junction of the main roads between
Montdidier and Beauvraignes, through
which the enemy troops and supplies
for the front in the river valley must
pass. The French thus have an OBJ
versation post overlooking the German
center, which must already become a
source of grave embarrassment to the
enemy"

Here's One Method Adopted

Their Operations.

With the American Army in
France, June 12.-Here is the latest
news about New York and the
submarine scare" as it drifted
across our lines this afternoon in a
German toy balloon carrying sheets
of propaganda. This Is what the
imaginative Germans had to say
about it:
Thousands of Brooklynites are
sleeping in cellars, fearing a night
bombardment. Some of the wealth.
lest are moving towards Chicago.
The few Wall street brokers who
must remain downtown in Manhat-
tan are engaging cots in Turkish
,aths in the Woolworth building and
other skyscrapers. Atlantic City
and other seaside resorts are no
ticeably shy of bathing nymphs on
account of fear of submarine
shells"

Distinct Gain to Allies.
tassociated Press.)

Paris, June 13.--There was plenty OF
fighting yesterday. but it did not af-
feet the general situation. AS the
Germans are fighting against time. this
result is a distinct gain to the defense.
The Germans, it is true, made slight
progress on their left toward Com
piegne, from which at Melicocq they
are now only five miles away, but so
did the French on the other wing in
the region of Merry. AS the nature of
the ground around Merry provides the
French with excellent gun positions
behind the hills from which they can
pound at short range the road by
which all supplies must pass to the
German center in the thrust toward
Compiegne, the French can claim an
advantage in the day operations, for
they also stopped the German efforts
south Of the Aisne against The forest
east of Villers- -Cotterets.
