YANKS TAKE so PRUSSlANS
Americans Near Fismette Find Enemy
Machine Gunners Waiting to Be
Taken Prisoners.

With the American Army on the
Vesle Front, Aug. 21.-Sixty Prussians
have been taken prisoner by the Amer
leans near Fismette, north of Fismes,
without either side firing shot. The
Prussians were machine gunners and
all that remained of a company which
had been in line less than a month.
American attachments went out
few nights ago, the location OF the
machine-gun positions having been re-
ported by prisoner. According to the
Americans, the Prussians were waiting
to be taken prisoner. The intelligence
officer who questioned the Prussians
asserted that they nearly all had
agreed to surrender if the slightest
opportunity arose.
The Americans who took the prison
ers do not claim any credit for the
capture, declaring that the Prussians
virtually deserted their posts.

POOR DWELLING PLACE, THIS
British Naval Base of Wei-Hei-Wei
Has Decidedly Few Attractions
for European Residents.

Wei-hei-wei is the bit of Chinese ter
ritory that the British hold under lease
as q naval and commercial base. 1t is
Just across the breadth of the Shan
t,Ing peninsula from Kiachow. Wei
hei-wei lies partly on the mainland,
partly on an island, where the dock
yard, the coaling station and the rest
of the machinery for a naval base are
located. Most of the civilian pOpula-
ton live on the mainland, and patron
iZe a little steam launch that plies
across the intervening sea when they
want TO go shopping; for with an eye
to getting the British jackies' trade
when warships put in to coal, the
shops of Wei-hei-wei are out with the
docks and the coal yards.
The island seen from the steam
launch is barren, sandy hill, ridged
with gullies that the hurrying rain wa
ter has cut in it's course to the sea.
The sand of these hills is one Of the
omnipresent features of the colony;
every wind that blows carries it about
by pounds, and only the cheapness of
Chinese servants makes it possible to
keep European household busted.
The mainstreet on the island has the
characteristic British colonial look,
with a British post office, British
steamship booking office, and British
shops. On the short side street are the
Chinese shops, which are only opened
at certain seasons when visitors are
plenty, or when a warship puts in to
the harbOr.

War Department Plans to Have 5,ooo'-
600 Troops in France Next Year
Baker Says There Will Be
No General Exemption
for Married Men.

Washington, Aug. 2O.-Eighty Amer
lean divisions of $4,000 men each,
General March on Monday told the
house military committee. SHOULD be
able to bring the war to a successful
conclusion in 1919" This is the num-
Der the war department plans to nave
in France by next June 30.
For the present it is planned to SEND
100000 men monthly to France, Gen
eral March said, adding: But we
hope to increase that in the spring.
May Go Beyond the Rhine.
Representative Kahn said it might
be necessary to go beyond the Rhine
and asked if any accurate estimate
could be given of the number OF men
that finally will be necessary to win
the war.
Replying, General March said that
when the Germans began their spring
offensive they were superior in rifle
power.
eff you put so divisions of Ameri-
cans in France of approximately 49,
900 men to a division" said General
March, "you will give us marked SUI
periority in rifle pOwer-more marked
than was the Germans and we should
be able to bring the war to a success
full conclusion in 1919"
II think the war will be won or lost
On the western 'front.'" General March
added
General March read an official state
ment showing that on August l the
American army numbered 3,O12,1l2
men, as follows:
American expeditiOnary force and
en- route overseas, 1901, 742.
In the United States and insular pos
sessions, 1882, 7O6.
Called in the August draft, 277,664.
In addition there are about 1000
marines with the expeditionary force.
Need Every Glass Man 10 to As.
TO put 80 divisions in France before
June, 1919, General March declared:
eve shall need every single man in
class 1 between eighteen and fOrty-five.
We must not delude ourselves with
the idea that those in the eighteen or
nineteen calls are going to be deferred
any length of time. They will have to
be called early next spring in order to
get their training in time to get to
France"
The S0-division plan, General March
said, depended upon shipping facili-
ties, but he added:
81 might as we'll say right here,
frankly, that the program of Mr..
Schwab will take care of the army pro-
gram and gain on it,"
Baker Explains Draft Bill.
No general exemption of married
men simply because Of their married
status is contemplated by the war de-
partment in preparing for the proposed
extension of draft ages, Secretary Ba-
ker declared in statement before the
house military committee on the new
administration man power bill. Mr..
Baker said his previous remarks on
this subject had been misconstrued,
and that married men who do not sup
port their families and who are not
engaged in useful occupations will con-
tinue to be called.
General Crowder said that the new
program is expected to raise 100000
men by June 80, 1919, and that it is
proposed to call 100000 men by that
time.
