the Germans almost entirely out of
the wooded area which they have
been so stubbornly defending. The

Slowly retreating, the Germans are
fighting stubbornly as they retire.
Persistent as was the German rear

most intense efforts to hold his lines
are still being put forth on his flanks

"The Germans are yellow when It

Such was the statement of Oscar

army in France. in letter to George
Bryan of Albuquerque. White gives
Ian interesting discussion of German
tprisoners. His letter follows in part:

when it comes to killing women and
children, but from what I can learn
Ethey seem to have horror OF fight

an open fight and only come out
when they are forced to do so.
Perhaps you have had some anx-
Iiety as to the outcome of the German
toffensives, but so far they have been
unable to break through the allied
nines and now are unable to make any
farther advances. In my opinion
|they have reached the limit of their
advance. The Germans can never win
