Germans Feel America Snatched Vic
tory From Their Grasp
As we went through the grounds l
began to realize that there was strong
reason for the sharp and biting wit
of the American prisoners | had met.
The place is miserable beyond deserip-
tion and the attitude Of the German
guards is the true reflections of all Ger

American nation for having entered the
war at the critical moment, Snatchiug

absolute reach,
During my visit to the prison camp
grounds l interviewed nearly sixty
American prisoners. l found them en-
dowed with the some spirit a spirit
which l would term "a deep hatred
of German ways and methods, but
which the Germans themselves term
''Americau arrogance and mdcness. "
Real Americans
After having gone through the camp
grounds | also learned that when AM
eriean war prisoners were first brought
to these camps a very serious attempt
had been made to separate the Amcri-
cans with TeutOnic origin from those
who are of Anglican or other eXtrac-
tions. But to the credit of those who
had Teutonic blood in their veins, these
advances failed. These men refused
special considerations offered to them
by their German guards, inspired by
the Berlin propaganda bureau.
On my return to Berlin | was honor
cd with visits from many prominent
Germans who wished to learn about the
exact morale of the American prison
ers. l was surprised to learn that there
were still thinking Germans in Berlin
who laid great significance on the NOR
ale of the Americans. They had been
made to believe that the Americans
had been driven to the war by their
pro-English president and that they
did not have their hearts set on it. My
report of my impressions was really
disquieting to my visitors

their number, who appeared to be their
leader, shout: "0h, come on. YOU are

doesn't have to pass over that road. ="
The officer in charge informed me that
that man was a college man. He said
that when that man first came to the
camp he tried to be friendly with him
but the "arrogant" American had
repused his advances with the rude
statement that he "would prefer far
ness to fayors."
The German officer complained that
these Americans idea Of humor was
rather peculiar. When he had asked him
why the Americans always referred to
their country as "Uncle SAM this |
man replied: "Because when he gets
