WITH THE AMERICAN TROOPS
NORTH OF SCISSORS. Sept. THAT
most unusual among German prisoners
one who was quite willing to discuss his
opinions and hopes, gave us an inter
esting insight to-day into the present
status of the German mind regarding
American affairs.
The interrogation Of our prisoner
was dramatic. The Tribune CORE
spondent was present. Coming down a
shell-swept road under the guard of a
single doughboy. he entered an open
stone quarry where an American sat in
the darkness for the purpose of the
first interrogation of the prisoner.
A flashlight was thrown TO: & second
on the young prisoner and showed he
was an under officer. The converse
ton which followed told that he was
a highly educated member of the mid
die class, of the type of German citizen
who thinks. But. however, it was per-
fectly clear that the subtle justification
of Germany's case in the war as argued
by the German government and states
men was indelibly fixed in his mind.
What Germany Is Told
In an hours interrogation, punctuat-
ed frequently by the near explosions of
shells, we followed the points outlined
at length by the prisoner: Germany be-
licves that the submarines are sinking
more ships than America and all the
Allies are able to build; that the Ger
man navy SO far has accounted for
100000 tons of Allied shipping,
whereof 100000 is British; Germany
knows that America is building many
chips, but that the building programme
is hampered by growing sullenness in
England for fear America may emerge
from the war with an overwhelming
merchant marine, thus menacing Eng
lands supremacy in this direction

"Do you call marching on Paris

the American officer. This question
was unanswered.
All Prisoners Questioned
American officers interrogate all
present aims and feelings. The in
tcrrogation of hundreds by one Ameri-

that Germany's inner morale remains
strong and that any hope of German
interior breakup so far is without
foundation.

before we reach the Rhine. In these

cific reasons, which it has stated.
Those reasons are, in brief, the neces
s1ty for saving labor and material IN
the manufacture and sale OF Christmas
gifts and OF saving the transportation
and delivery facilities necessarily in
volvoG in the large volume of Christ
mas purchases.
After conference with representa-
tiyes of leading industries and retail
interests concerned, it is found that
the manufacture of goods for the COM
ing holiday season has been substan-
tally completed, that the transporta-
ton of goods to the point of sale is
also largely done and that much of
the material used for Christmas pur-
chases, especially in the manufacture
OF toys, is the waste material derived
IRON prior processes of manufacture
The retail interests represented at
the conference have agreed not to in
crease their working forces by reason
OF the holiday business over the aver
age forces employed by them through
out the year and not 10 increase the
normal working hours of their forces
during the Christmas season. They have
also agreed to use their utmost efforts
to contine Christmas giving, except for
young children, to useful articles and
to spread the period for holiday pur-
chases over the months of October,
November and December.
I'm order to relieve the transporta-
ton facilities of the country from a
congestion in the latter half of Deem
Der, which would be SO hurtful to the
interests of the nation that it cannot
be permitted. the retail interests repre-
sented at this hearing have agreed to
cooperate further in the campaign here
tofore and now being carried on under
the auspices of the War Industries
Board to restrict deliveries and to in
duce customers to carry their packages
wherever possible.
