Russian Brings Message
From Americans in

From Them by Their
Captors

with the American Army in
France, May 31.-A Russian prison.
err, who recently returned from Ger
many, has made a statement at Mos
cow, which is now available here. to
the effect that he saw American pr1s-
oners of war in a camp at Tuchel,
West Prussia. and that they asked
him to let it be known that they
were being treated brutally. The
prisoner said they were hungry and
penniless.
When the Americans arrived at the
camp, according to this account, the
Germans removed all their clothes.
They were particularly anxious to
have the Americans shoes. They told
the prisoners they should not wear
expensive clothing and shoes while
working and that their property
would be taken care of until their
return to America. The Russian
said, however, that everyone knows
what that means.
A consul. the Russian was not
sure whether he was a Swiss or a
Spaniard, visited the camp. Com
plant was made to him by the Am
ericans and their clothes were re-
turned. but as the consul seldom vis-
tied the camp, the Germans had OPP
portunity to practice many inJus-
tees.
The Russian said that eight Amer
icans who were captured several
months ago reached the camp at
midday and, being very hungry,
asked for bread. They were told
bread was distributed only in the
morning. They were placed in a hut
with Russians. after being forced to
stand in a square, where Germans
were given an opportunity to insult
them.
The huts in which the Americans
are living, the Russian said. are
damp, cold and unfit for habitation.
Some Of the Americans became i'll.
Two of them were in hospital, and
had an opportunity there to talk
with the Russian, and it was through
them that he had obtained informa-
ton on which his statement was
based.

SUMMARY OF The WAR

The German crown prince is now
striking westward with all force,
with the apparent purpose of forcing
the elimination Of the Montdidier
salient and ultimately pushing In be-
low Amiens to cut off Paris from the
north.
So far, his progress has been small.
Between Scissors and Chateau
Thierry on the Marine, tho French
have been impetuousIy counter at
taeking and at points the enemy has
been forced to give ground.
This was notably the case inmedi-
ateIy south of Scissors. Further
south the Germans had taken Chau-
dun. The French drove in here,
however, and reeaptured the place.
Ground also was won from the Ger
mans just below, near Vierzys
Still further south the German ad-
vance had progressed to total of
something like four miles. Paris re-
ports, however, that new German at
Itacks here, in the region of Chouy
and NeuiIIy, were broken up, the
French maintaining their lines east
of these towns. The Germans seem"
IngIy have made no attempts TO
GROSS the Marine, and they have not
yet taken the important railway
junction at Chateau Thierry. EIe-
rnents of their advance, however,
have spread out slightly further
eastward along the north bank of the
river, and they are now occupying
this bank for the distance OF ap-
proximateIy twelve miles in an air.

from Noyon TO. Rheims. In the CEN
Ser, German detachments have
reached the Marine between Chateau
Thierry and Dormans, while on the
east the Franco British line stands
firm.
After the retirement to the line
through Blerancourt and Epaany,
the French halted and in a series of
furious attacks and counter attacks
have held the enemy forces. West of

for some ten miles south of the town
they have not advanced more than
several hundred yards, in spite of as
sauIt after assault against the
French defense. Along the oureq,
the Germans gained near oulchy-Ie-
Chateau and threaten Chateau Thi-
erry, an important railway center on
the Marine, 46 miles northeast of
Paris.
In the center, where email enemy
forces have advanced southward 70

past few days apparently have been
to retire until the line of the Marine,
of heroic memory, could be reached.
Rheims still holds out. but little
hope is entertained that it's defend

attacks. North Of the city the Ger
