GERMAN NEWSPAPER DIS-
 CUSSION.

New York, March S.-Disclosure of the German governments terms of yelled annexation of Russian pro- vinces and the threatened rupture of negotiations with the Bolsheviki at Brest- L5tovsk furnished the princi- pal topic of editorial discussion in German newspapers of the early part of January, which have been received here. The spirit which lead to the subsequent strike in protest against the government and the German dele gates at Brest-Litovsk already was evident, the socialists and labor lead CTS declaiming vehemently against the attitude of the German negotia- tors as calculated to prolong the war and pointing out the farcicality of the pretended acceptance of the term "Right of Self-Determination" as ap- piled to the border nationalitics of Russia when the Russian negotiators were required to accept as binding ! and as a preliminary to all negotia- tions, votes of separation from Ras- sia by Gcrman-made bodies whose right to speak for popular will was highly questionable and whose decis- ions were not known even in Ger many.
 | As to the competence of corpora tions of German landlords in the Bal tic Provinces, whose resolutions ia voring a German protectorate fur nished the excuse for German de mands at Brest-Litovsk, 0 speak for the people of the provinces, Hans Worst, the Berlin sTageblatt's Russian expert, pointed out that these repre-
 sented only small minority of the
 population and that the great bulk were undoubtedly against separation and in favor of entering Russian l federative republic.
 Chancellor Von Hertling's avowal in the Reichstag Main comittee thai
 Germany was standing in the nego- itiations at Brest-Litovsk upon it's position of might" was criticised by
 the socialists, who attempted to SC
 cure reaffirmation of the Reich |stag's peace resolution of July 19, 1T
 an endeavor to pin the government
 down to an actual basis of peace with out annexations.
 Prince Von Beulow, the stormy petral of German politics, appeared
 in Berlin January 5, at the height o1
 the crisis over peace negotiations al
 Brest-Litovsk, but found Count Vor
 Hertling seated most firmly in the chancellorship.

HE LIKES THE TRENCHES.

With the American Army in France, Feb. 15.- Correspondence of The Associated Press s)-Here's an incident that happened in little shell-spattered town in the rear of our lines which shows how the aver age American soldier feels about life in the trenches. It was just at dusk. A lone sentry was walking up and down in front of an abandoned church, upon the door of which was little printed sign conveying the in- formation that in the event of gas alarm the church bell should be hung for a minute. It was the sentry's duty to pull at the bell rope, should occasion arise.
 He was plastered with mud from head to foot. A substance not un- like red mortar was ground into his putties. There was a dent in the canteen swung at his waist, the top of his shrapnel helmet bore red, muddy stains; his face was covered with a growth of about three days of hair.
 Failing to see a passing captain of artillery, he did not salute. The cap tain asked him few pointed ques- tions, gave him a few pointed in structions about saluting and passed on.
 "Good Lord," remarked the sentry, ''I have been out of the trenches days now and am going back to- night perfectly happy. There used to be time when I thought trench was about the last place on earth to spend a week or so. But I have changed my mind. There is that officer; for instance. I ran into him upon the line not long ago and he was as nice as could be. Now because l did mt sec him I catch h..
 .Yes sir, give me the trenches ev- cry time. I like 'em. I would rather be in front line trench than any other place I know of in France. There is something doing there all the time and a man is man and knows it.
 Next time we are relieved I think I'll ask if I can't stay with the relief. don't want to come back here again and stand guard over the end of bell rope where there is nothing go- ing on. Nearly every other man l know feels the same way about it. They would pick the line every time"

democracy and social equality. And
so each side selected as guests 10 Of
ficers, 10 commissioned officers,
and 10 privates. 1t was the same for
the navy. The English also came In,
officers and men on the same basis.
And thus this international gather
ing of social equality was carried out,
American French and British generals
and admirals mingling Familiarity
with American bluejackets and SOL
diers and French and British tars.
There was no patronizing spirit of the
higher ranks over the lower but
real getting together in a common
work In which all ranks were doing
their part.
The mayor of the city was deeply
impressed with this manifestation In
which the newcomers from America
took the lead and the venerable
French admiral an officer OF the old
school, proved himself one Of the most
agreeable hosts of American sailors
and marines.
There have been some huge prob
lens to work out in making this such
an effective American receiving point.
At first there was no fresh water ex-
cept from a few uncertain springs
With hundreds of thousands Of SOL
diers on the way here safe and sure
water supply was imperative. Soon
there will be reservoir storing fifty
million gallons, capable of supplying
the army, the American naval ships
and transports, and the port itself,
for one month IL not drop OF rain
falls. Besides direct mains to the
army camps, there are 12-inch mains
leading right to the sea front, with
connections to our destroyers and
shipping in the harbor, pumping the
fresh water to ships at sea.
On the water front one notices that
the big American warehouses are Gov
cred with strange hyeroglyphics
These 1t turns out are shipping ad-
dresses and crate markings, as all the
lumber in this array Of buildings Is
from crates and boxes bringing army
supplies. Some of these crates car
rying cars were immense, with plank
, ing and heavy timbers. Every board
and beam was saved, for lumber Is
! very scarce here, and even the nails
} we're drawn and saved. And out OF
this waste lumber and nails have
] ihrisen most OF these mammoth build
j. ings marked from end to end with
{ shipping addresses.

The contention that it is illegal to use
the evidence obtained by censor to
convict the writer of letter of a
CRIME was raised in the federal court
here the other day. Evidence against
Gabriel Guerra, a lawyer, was OBJ
tanned in that manner and he was
convicted of using the mails to pur-

counsel contended that the censor's
office is a war measure only and
could not be used to obtain evidence
of ordinary crimes.
Apparently the jury disregarded the
legal point in rendering its verdict

are the people more enthusiastic over
the coming of Americans than at this
great receiving port for American sol
diers. German propagandists at first
spread the idea that the Americans
we're coming to take possession, set

has passed.
Along the country roads, the pass
ing of Americans is the signal for a
demonstration, with peasant children
scattering flowers and cheering "Vive

! It has required much diplomacy or
the part of the American commanders
military and naval, to preserve ant

MEN WHO UNLOAD SHIPS
SHOW SPLENDID SPIRIT

American Port, Western France,
Aug. 29.-The spirit which animates
ali Americans here Is the same as
that of the front line trenches, in the
words of the General commanding
It is an inspiration of intense eager
ness This is shown by the fact
that under the stress of haste to send
America soldiers to the fighting front,
the time required to unload the great
est of American transports bringing
70 900 troops, coal her and start her
hack to America, has been reduced
from four days to forty hours.
This is the best deep-water port Oh
western continental Europe with a
barbor capable of receiving the ma
vies of the world, and yet up to the
tima the Americans came here six
months ago it was practically unde'
veloped and unused. 1t was esD'
mated then that the facilities might
possibly permit the land OF 2o'ooV
men a month.
But with 25O,OOO men month copi'
ing from America, something had 10
no done on a gigantic scale and done
quickly. Fortunately the emergency
nroduced the men; an American brig
adler general who has planned ano
evecuted some of the great engineer
inc nroiects Of the west, and an Am
arican Admiral who has the reputa
tion of accomplishing large things in
ouiet way. Around them were
grouned men of the same talents.
Out of it has arisen this marvellous
receiving port of today, where one
,,dav's landing of $4,000 men has beer
followed the next day by 15,oOo-oo'
200 in two days or ate the unhear'
rate of 100000 month. And TN
.trange thing has been that the por
,os mt felt or even known OF tn
huge migration passing through 1t
Gates. so quietly and smoothly the OF
sanitation has functioned'
II is the same with the handling q
,,o immense stocks of war supple
90 n is with the handling OF troops
e., months ago it was estimated tina
5000 tons a month could be handled
Actually more than that is handle
