 YANKEE PRISONERS

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, Nov. IA, 7:15 D. m.-CBy the Associated Press)-Twenty Americans taken prisoner by the Germans recent ly were freed late today and reached the American lines opposite the first army. More than 500 Italians, whom the Germans had employed as road workers, crossed the American front. They asserted that the Germans told them they had better start southward immediately if they desired food
 As further indication that the Ger man withdrawal has begun, came re- ports today from various parts of the front that explosions were being heard. It is believed that Germans are destroying their old shells and ammu- milton dumps, in excess of the ammu- milton which is to be turned over to the allies according to the armistice.
 The 32nd division reported explc- sions in the direction of Muzeray and two heavy explosions in the direction of Etain, which were followed by lighter detonations. Other explosions were heard beyond Merles and in that region this afternoon.

 WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-Ex- tension to November 30, of the time in which Christmas parcels will be accepted for mailing to members of the American Expeditionary forces in France, was announced tonight by the postoffice and war depart ments. The extension was due, it was said, to the fact that the men of several American divisions which were in combat recently have only been able to fill out the parcel labels, without which, pack ages from relatives and friends in this country will not be accepted by the postal authorities.
 The postoffice department an- nounced however, that to insure delivery by Christmas, parcels should be mailed as soon as pos sibIe.

Silent On Fifth Loan.


 AIr. McAdoo did not refer to the fifth war loan, which probably will be floated next spring. but his calculations indi- cated this might be around S5,0O0,000, 900, to make up the difference between s6, 000, O00, 900 of taxes plus s6,S66 100000 gathered from the Fourth Liberty loan, and the s1S.O00, 100000 of expenses.
 The senate finance committee tomor row will examine MT. McAdoo's pro gram, and will examine him in person when he appears before the committee late in the afternoon. Chairman Sim mons, after studying MT. McAdoo's let ter, said in the main he approved of the secretary's recommendations. He add ed they were along the lines he and the secretary had discussed at repeated conferences.
 After reporting that government ex- penses for July, August, September and October this year, amounted to s6,6S5, 000,00O, or s1,650, 100000 a month. MT. McAdoo's letter said:
 Expects Expense Reduction.
 There seems every reason to antici- pate a large reduction in the govern ment's expenditures during the balance of the fiscal year. How great that re- duction will be it is impossible at the moment to estimate. It seems reason able to suppose that decrease in gov ernment expenditures cannot be very rapid, if a wise policy of readjustment and transfer of activities from a war to peace basis is followed.
 "The United States will be the for tunate possessor of foodstuffs, raw materials and manufactured produts, of which Europe and tho rest of the world are in dire need. Not all of the oll fr1ll rvNfd for have little and others none to spare. nor in commodities, during the period of re- construction. for some of them will not so soon be able to resume normal ac- tivities; and the United States must be prepared to continue, therefore, to en- able the governments of the allies, or some of them, to make purchases on credit, I shall promptly ask the con- gross for authority to continue to estab- fish such credits and make loans within reasonable limits to these governments for purposes growing out of the var.
 Imports For Exports. "lt IS of the utmost importance
 that such foreign loans should be
 held down to minimum, and as soon as may be, discontinued, and that every reasonable argument
 should be pressed upon the govern
 ments of the allies to prepare them
 selves and their people to make payment for their exports from the
 United States by imports into the United States; that is, in effect, to
 make cash payment instead of pay
 ment by credit.
 This is not only the policy which is actuated by a proper desire to be help l flil to the governments which, with Us, have borne the burden of the war and i to their peoples but is also the policy of enlightened seifishness.

 WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-ReIief for the suffering millions in bol- shevik- controlled central Russia is furnishing a problem which the al- lied and American governments have as yet been unable to solve. In fact one official said today that not even method of solution has been determined upon.
 It is now regarded as practically certain that 1t will be i'm possible to get food to the 40,000,000 people in this territory this winter. With food now scarce and anarchy ram pant, officials here fear that fam inc IS inevitable and that the toll of death may reach astounding fig ures.
 In their efforts to find some way to aid the people, statesmen of the associated governments are work ing on the conviction that the boI- sheviki are not representative of the Russian people. As long as the bolsheviki remain in power, how ever, it is admitted there is little probability of getting even the very necessaries of life to them.
 Way Only Thro' Germany.
 The way to Russia IS through Germany, one official said today, and until that way is opened, there is no chance of aiding Russia. As yet, however, the American and aI- lied governments have not deter mined upon the advisability of sending a military force into cen tral Russia. even if the situation in Germany becomes stable enough to permit the passage of troops through that country. It also was said that no addition to the allied and American forces operating in Siberia and northern Russia in conjunction with the loyal Rus sans and Czecho- Siovak army is at present contemplated.
 Officials said that conditions in Siberia and northern Russia were rapidly improving. while in Bessa- raba and Ukrainia good order is being maintained. The Ukrainians are said to have virtually cleared their country of Germans, while Bessarabia, by plebiscite, has de- ternnined to become a part of the Rumanian empire.
