u. S. is HOPE OF
OPPRESSED HUNS
German Prisoners Would Like to
Come TO America

viii the Huns invade America
after the war?
Some Of them hope to make a
peaceful invasion, so disgusted are
they with the Fatherland. Nina
Larrey Duryea, president Of the Dur
yea War Relief, tells about it in Har-
per's, as follows:
In the Somme the French govern
ment loaned five Boche prisoners for
heavy work One of them, Fritz,
aged 28, was uncommonly intelligent
and even porused Daudet during the
hour of rest among the few bushes
not uprooted in the garden, where
trees had been cut down and the well
polluted It is forbidden to hold con-
verse with prisoners but a lenient
commandant permitted discourse with
Fritz, whose confidence was gradu-
ally won by hot coffee, sugar and
American chewing gum.
One day he was asked: "What do
you really think of the Kaiser?"
An odd expression twisted his fea-
lures and slowly he turned his face
to the right and-spat! once.
That reply not being quite clear he
was asked: "What do you thipk of
your crown prince?"
Slowly he turned his head to the
left and-spat! twice.
l replied: "Ah, now l understand,
Fritz! We are of the same opinion.
Tell me what you really think of the
situation?"
1t was like taking cork out of a
bottle of champagne. He ran to
peep over the wall for listeners, and
then, casting aside his sullen stolid-
ity as though a garment which had
too long disguised and encumbered
the actual man, Fritz spoke, fists in
air, with vlgor.
Madam, in yonder prison across
your alley there are 348 men. Not
one of US knew till we came to
France that we were the only army
trained by system of personal insult
and abuse. We did not know thai
there we e officers who led their men
over the top. We are driven with
an automatic at our backs. |, Is
years old, have had to stand and sa-
lutte while & boy officer slapped one
side of my face and then the other
kicking NE from his presence as
Though l was the swine he called me
8Eecause tie edge of my cuff was
fs0iled. Perhaps madam fancies me
| a traitor TO my country. No! I an
no traitor to her, but I curse hel
methods al q those in power whc
grind US 10 the dust that they ma!
rule They will cause the ruin O.
my beloved fatherland where no MAI
lis free save those at the top. M.
comrades and I speak much of tn,
future, for now we have to live, be
ing prisoners; but not many Of u
will ever return to the fatherlan'
unless that, are changes there. Yo1
TASK what We will do? | know not
but we deS re to go to America"
And so the soul of Germany is no
quite so dead, for it has been quick
lened by the soul of France.

LEARNING GERMAN
Want to Speak 1t When They Reach
Berlin

With the American Forces in
France, Sept. 30.-(Correspondence
Of the Associated Press.)-Many
American soldiers in France have
taken UP the study of the Grman Ian
guage. Some say they are eager to
talk to the German prisoners, and
others explain that they desire to be
prepared TO speak German when they
reach Berlin. Nearly every Amer
lean company has one or more indi-
viduals who speak German, fore OF
less, and the boys study German dur
ing spare moments. After two or
three months in France many Amer
lean soldiers are able to speak some
French.
