Germans LOath
to Die in Fight
Continued from Pare One

'foh oHt
have been II formidable undertaking to
assault it frontally, hence the scheme
of attack in the dark.
The enemy was utterly surprised.
L know that from prisoners from this
village. One of them, a fine-looking
man, with a blond beard, described
what had happened.
I'VE were startled" he said, "by
heavy fire-fire from the British guns
and some of us expected an attack
and were afraid of being killed, but
our officers told us not to be alarmed
because it was only a demonstration
by the enemy's guns and would no,
last more than two hours, during
which we should be perfectly safe If
we went down in our dugouts.
I'VE had good dugouts under VIII
lers.OutreauX, and we all went down
and huddled inside them and listened
to the bursting shells above. Some of
us talked of the peace which had been
asked for by the Kaiser. None OF us
wanted to die if the war were going
to end soon.
$50 two hours passed, and, as our
officers had said the drumflre ceased,
but jus tas we were beginning to feel
safe for another few hours, at least,
we heard the shouts of English SOL
diers and knew then that we were
lost, because they We're all around our
dugouts. We could do nothing; our
machine guns were useless and we had
to surrender"
II was Monday afternoon that German
soldiers heard for the first time of the
new peace proposals. Their officers
came to them and announced the news
formally. saying that "our Kaiser has
- f4, htlGi ig
of President Wilson'S demands. and
Austria and Turkey have joined with us
in this proposal
This statement was circulated among
the men, and they were stirred to their
depths. according to the statement OF
prisoners, by the joyful thought that the
war would be over in a few weeks. One
Of them, widely Travelled and highly
educated man. said there would be the
most profound emotion in Germany at
this hope for relief from the dreadful
nightmare of war. and that the l>aiser's
submission to the inevitable would be
followed by strong action by the Social
Democrats upon a popular basis of peace
in order TO satisfy the terms of President
Wilson's latest demand
lie believed that the association of
men like Erzberger and Scheidemann
with the Government would undoubtedly
help things in this way and would in
sure the alteration of the Brest-Litovsk
treaty, which still stood in the way of
peace.
To me this was intensely interesting to
get this first opinion OF the German
army upon the new peace proposals
SO soon after the beginning of today's
battle, and, indeed, so soon after the
nnhlipa tim nf tho that
some of our own officers of the line,

there in strength, holding each village

II was ugly ground to attack, but the
Americans were in good heart and very
confident and started we'll at about ten
