PEASANTS KNEEL
IN PRAYER WHEN
AMERICANS COME
Hid in Cave for Five Weeks
Under German Guard-Thank.-

By the Associated Press
With the American Army on the Aisne-

Marine Front, Aug. :.
Ninety French peasants, who had been
living in large cave near Nile-Savoye,
southwest of Fismes. were rescued by
tho Americans, after having passed
through two battles and remaining pris-
oners to the Germans for five weeks.
When discovered by the Americans the
peasants were nearly starved. their scant
supplies of food having been almost ex-
hausted before the last battle Of the
Nesle began.
The cave formerly was a quarry, and
when the Germans arrived in the neigh
borhOod. in the latter part of May. the
peasants round about Vile-Savoye as
semhled in the cave rather than leave
the vicinity Of their homes. The en-
trance to the cave was at the foot of a
hill. great layers Of rock and earth act
ing as "A "nyerng.
Many shells had struck close to the
roof. several exploding directly over
tn" place where the peasants had taken
refugee. but the thick rock and earth
roof was not damaged.
The peasants took all the supplies
possible from their farms, but finally
were compelled to appeal to the Ger
mans for additional food. They were
given an allowance so sCanty that they
were compelled to forage for sustenance
but this procedure was difficult owing
to the fact that the invaders allowed
them to seek food only within a pre-
sCribed area.
The refugees mainly were elderly men
and women, with a few children. When
the Americans arrived many of the
peasants knelt in prayer at their de-
liverance.

Hamburg Newspaper Argues

Amsterdam. Aug. 7.-Discussing the
proposed exchange of American and
German war prisoners. the Nachrichten,
Of Hamburg, takes II upon itself to ad-
yise the German Government TO reject
ali such overtures on the following
grounds:
First. the Americans by this agree
ment, would enjoy exceptional treat
menf which. besides being unfair to
the other prisoners, would enormously
hcilitate recruiting In America; second
I. assuming that the Americans have taken
fewer prisoners than the Germans. II
would be natural for the Allies of Amer
! tea to make up the requisite number
OF prisoners. which would indirectly
ENHANCE Americas reputed achieve
Uents.r
The newspaper further demands that
~as . retaliation for Americas dis
graceful entry into the war" the idea
0f an exchange should be entertained
only after all other prisoners are re-
nased.
A further condition Of this exchange

GERMAN PRESS VIEWS

Latest Comment of Recent
Events Shows Tone of
Dependency

London, Aug :.
The Respondent tone of the latest Ger
man press comments is empha sized daily
in special dispatches from Holland. A
dispatch to the Daily Mail from The
Hague today includes an editorial by the
Dusseldorf Nachrchten. which says that
nobody looking into the future can see
an end to the war.
For though it is true that the end
might come quickly" it adds. lit could
only be an end of terror. as in Russia .
The Norwaerts. of Berlin. says that
events of recent days a last have shat
tered the illusion. created by inspired op-
timism, that Germany is invincible. 1t
says:
The German people at last realize the
colossal gravity of the situation. Let us
have courage to admit that as long as
the war is not ended it is not won and
can be lost
