man prisoners captured in the recent
fighting, who have arrived ut British
port, show surprising depreciation OF
the once coveted Iron Cross, says an
Associated Press correspondent. One
Of them traded his decoration for a
cigarette. and an American officer
who accompanied the captives from
France. said several Of them spoke
slightingly of the war token bestowed
upon them by Emperor William.
\ marked change in the demeanor
Of the new prisoners was also noticea-
bic. Instead Of the arrogant and al
most insolent manner which charac-
terized their predecessors, when the
Germans were sweeping everything
before them. the latest contingent
seems humble and crestfallen. Almost
every officer and one in ten OF the men
wore the ribbon OF the Iron Cross.
The tobacco famine, which exists
among the prisoners, makes 1t easy fol
American soldiers to collect souvenirs
The Germans will part with almost any
Of their belongings for a package OF
cigarettes.
American troops are leaving fol
France daily with bands playing and

MONTSEC HILL.
II Was Impregnable, But Was Surren'
dered Without Defense.


AS the first Yanks TO take possession
there swept with their field glasses the
devastated land before them. what rose
ominous to the eye in the clear Janu-
AIRY air was that steep. bristling hill
some four kilometers to the northwest
II was the hill the French call Mont
sec, because its abrupt crest rises dry
and sandy from what used to be one
of the fairest and most fruitful vine
yards in all Lorraine.
Montsec, with its $50 meters, was
forbidding enough in itself. Through
the four years Of their unwelcome ten
ancy, the Germans had so fortified and
armored 1t that it rose very Gibral-
tar In the line from Switzerland to the
sea. To storm 1t from the front OF
even to surround and take 1t from the
rear would. the newly arrived Yankees
knew very well, be most bloody task
IL the assailants were stubbornly and
heroically met by such Il garrison as
the disemboweled old hill could easily
shelter.
Yet in the early morning of Septem
ber l2 the Yankee troops, sweeping
nonchantly past the hill, learned from
their equally nonchalant French
friends on the left that n reconnoiter-
ing squad had mounted Montsec with
carelessly slung Rosalies
1t had found the gun pits deserted
the tunnels echoing hollowly. the OBJ
servation posts abandoned. 1t had
found no living creature on all Mont
sec, save one affable internationalis'
setter, now variously known as Frit2
and Montsec, and four blinking rab-
bits. penned against a shortage in ra-
tions.
A disemboweled hill! There Is nc
other word for such human anthilI
as the Germans made Of the famous
Lorraine mountain.
Everywhere within the hill run tun-
nels. some we'll paved and shored, some
followed out in slovenly fashion. de-
pending on the calibre Of the resident
troops who did the work. Tunnels en-
tering from the bottom and meeting
