HUN PRISONERS
EXPRESS DESIRE
TO LIVE IN U. s.
Germany's Plans Call for
Ending of War Next Fall,
They Say.
(By Associated Press.)

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Jun. 1.-THE excellence of
the American artillery fire was largely
responsible for the capture by Ameri-
can marines of approximately four
hundred prisoners in the fighting
which resulted in the clearing out of
the Belleau wood, northwest of Cha
teau Thierry.
The Germans, who had been told to
avoid capture because the Americans
would torture them, started to run
after the American machine guners
had made the wood untenable, but the
artillery barrage was so perfect that
the Germans were cut off from escape.
Among the prisoners are six officers.
major, a captain and four lieuten-
ants. All were poorly clad and some
had pieces of bread tied to their uni
forms with string. The prisoners
said they were glad to be captured and
several expressed desire to go to the
United States after the war to live.
All of Germany's plans, they added.
called for ending the war next fall.
The prisoners were told, they said,
that among the Americans were many
negroes.
The scarcity Of officers in the Ger
man army is shown by the ct that
one of the prisoners, first sergeant,
commanded company. He said this
was a comon 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.
Comparative quiet prevailed along
the Marne sector today.

LONDON. British Admiralty per wire
less press, June 13-Private letters
from Germany which have come into
allied hands indicate that heavy
weight which the war has imposed
upon poor in that country. Anxiety
for peace finds frequent expression
as well as anger with the militarist
element in the nation.
I'VE hope that peace will come
soon,' writes a man from Berlin" for
II the war lasts much longer then the
people here will make peace. Twice
already there have been small riots
but when the third comes, it won't go
well with the rich people. For the
poor there is so little food that they
can hardly live. while the rich people
have stores laid up for years. Poor
people are only fit to be shot. The
men in the fields suffer for the ricn
and we have to go hungry"
Along the same Inc man from
central Germany writes:
IF the rich had nothing to eat, as We
poor people have, the war would soon
come to an end"

key and the Trans Caucasian govern
ment. says a telegram from Constan-
tinople.
Previous to the signing of the Brest-
Litovsk treaty between Russia and the
central powers, which ceded the pro-
vinces OF kars, Batum and Erivan to
Turkey, a separate government had
been formed in the trans-Caucasus re-
gion with a capital at Tiflis. After
the Brest-Litovsk treaty Turkey pro-
posed separate peace to the Cau-
casus government and it was announc-
ed that Turkey would recognize an
autonomous government in the Cau-
oasus.
These negotiations were begun early
in May but simultaneously the Turks
began an advance into the territories
claimed under the Brest- t-Litovsk
treaty. Batum, Van and other cities
were occupied and thousands of Ar
menians were massacred. Peace ne
gotiations were then broken off for
several days, owing to the Caucasus
governments refusal to permit Turk
ish troops passage to Persia and TO
cede the city Novo- Rossysk, on the
Black Sea coast. Apparently, the diff
ferences were settled and the nego-
t'ations carried to completion.
a Constantinople dispatch received
in Washington on May q through Ger
man channels declared that the aim of
the peace negotiations between Tur-
key and the Trans Caucasus govern
ment was the subjection of trans Cau-
casus TO the quadruple alliance, as
was the case with Ukrania, Poland
and Rumania

Vienna, Wednesday, Dec II tby the
| Associated Press Count Czernn, the
former Austro- Hungarian foreign minis

correspondence with former Emperor
Charles, as was shown by letters which

Czernin today. One Of the letters, writ.
ten in April, 1917, gave the emperor
warning that the central powers were
nearing defeat. 1t read:
Il am thoroughly convinced that the
smashing point has been reached. Ger
many as well as ourselves, has reached
the end of her resources. Responsible
political authorities do not deny it, but

will sweep all for which our brothers
have been fighting. Perhaps months will
elapse before America can throw the

factor. The central powers cannot hope
for new reinforcements. Delay is to our

to Vienna. The field marshal said. ae-
cording to the letter, that England
