But Three Prisoners.

Just three German prisoners, there
fore, came out of that wood. The
others died fighting. That was typical
of the Jaegers. Many of them came
from the regiment composed entirely
of .,"ski troops, mountaineers with
mighty thighs, who leap with their
skis over the toughest country and
who are accustomed to taking des-
perate chances.
Yet, even these found the Ameri-
cans fine fighters. and one of the
prisoners apologized for the fact that
they had been beaten by saying that
they had only bread and water to live
on for several days. where the Ameri-
cans were well fed.
: There are tales, too, of three Ger
man companies refusing to counter
attack the Americans because they
had learned to dread them, where the
Saxons frankly say that opposing US
sends cold shivers down their spines
They are continually cursing the
Prussians for prolonging the war and
forcing them to fight us.

|SCORNS CLAIMS
OF DEMOCRATS
Madden Speaks Bitterly in
House of Campaign
Fund Letter.

A letter from w. 3. Jameson So
liciting campaign funds for the Demo-
cratic National Committee was the
subject of a bitter speech delivered
in the House yesterday by Repre-
sentative Martin Madden of Illinois.
Mr.. Madden charged that the letter
sought to convey to the country the
impression that the war belongs to
the Democratic party" and that only
Democrats are contributing to the
success of II.
The letter, which was written by
Mr.. Jameson to John White. Of
Lexington, Ky. was read into the
record by Madden In the letter Mr..
Jameson wrote:

Of the letter most severely. He de-
clared that there had been no time
when the Republicans had not sup
ported the President. and added
Il want TO ask have the Republicans
been in sympathy with the policies OF
