adults as wei as boys and girls, who
have not yet lent their cooperation in
the splendid work of gathering nut
shells and fruit stones for the purpose
of making carbon for soldiers gas
masks they most certainly should heed
the admonition contained in Governor
Graham S proclamation setting forth
Saturday Nov. 8, as gas mask day.
This gathering of nut shells and fruit
stones may seem like a very small mat
ter. but it really is quite important
and, moreover, quite essential. The ear
bon for placing in the gas masks must
come largely from these materials, so
we are Informed, and it takes great
amount of the shells and stones to
make the carbon. Therefore. it is ur-
gent that everyone join in the duty of
saving these waste materials SO that
me collections can be sent through the
agency of the Red Cross to the proper
destination. The comparatively few
shells and stones which each one of YOU
collect may be the means of saving the
llfe of soldier exposed to the danger
of gas.

GERMANS STRIP

Exchanged Russian Reports
Americans Are Left Hungry

effect that no saw American prisoners

Prussia. and that they asked him TO
let 1t be known that they wero being
treated brutally. The prisoner said
they were hungry and penniess.
When the Americans arrived at the
camp, according to this account, the
Germans removed all their clothes.
They were particularly anxious to
have the Americans shoes. They
told the prisoners they should not
wear expensive clothing and shoes
while working and that their prop
erty would be taken care OF until
their return to America. The Rus
slans said that every one knows
what that means.
A Consul, the Russian was not sure
whether he was a Swiss or Span

was made to him by the Americans
and their clothes we're returned, bat
as the Consul seldom visited the
camp, the Germans had opportunity
to practise many injusticos.
The Russian said that eight Ameri-
cans who were captured several
months ago reached the camp at mid
day and. being very hungry. asked
for bread, They were told bread was
distributed only In the morning They
were placed in n hut with Russians.
after being forced to stand in a
square, whore Germans were given
an opportunity TO insult them.
The butts in which the Americans

GERMAN-JAPA PANESE
PACT IMPOSSIBLE,
ASSERTS PREMIER
Relations With Entente VIII
Remain Unaltered, Says
Count Terauchi.

LONDON. June There Is little
present possibility OF an alliance be-
tween Germany and Japan. Premier
Count Teraychi told the Toxic CORES
pondent OF the Daily Mail in an inter-
view.
Il feel very earnestly that under
the present circumstances such a con-
tingency as a German-Japanese alli-
ance is impossible" the Japanese
Premier said. Al the same time
Count Tersuchi emphasized his be-
l'ef that Japan's relations with tho
Entente would continue unaltered.
The Premier said the Japanese peo-
pie attached the utmost importance to
international loyalty and that he was
convinced nothing would lead them TO
sin against this principle. He added
that the japanese. so far as his OBJ
servation went, were as loyal to Great
Britain now as before the war and
that, whatever might be the opinion
OF the individual. the Japanese as a
whole could never under existing cir
cumstances imagine themselves pro-
German. Continuing, he said
"Japan's future Is just as dependent
upon the victory OF the Entente as is
Great Britain's future. Japan has
striven to do her duty by her allies
in such directions as guarding the In
dian and Pacific Oceans and sending
warshlps to the Mediterranean.
I'VE are convinced that our future
depends upon the outcome OF this
war and we realize that II the Ger
man power in the Far East cannot
be broken Japan's future will be seri-
ously menaced. 1t would be unfair
to ask II Japan entered the war
solely because OF the Anglo Japanese
Alliance. There was the further con-
sideration that the outcome of the
war would affect Japan's future.
Had we merely been content TO carry
out the terms OF the Anglo-Japaneso
Alliance there might have been just!-
hcation for criticism from certain do
nestle quarters that under the terms
OF the Alliance we were not called
upon to send ships to the Medlterra-
mean"
Count Terauchi after further en-
phasizing the Importance OF the
Anglo-Japanese Alliance said:
II have every faith in the final vim
dication Of the principle for which in
common we all are fighting"

HIGH PRAISE GIVEN
TO AMERICAN TROOPS
BY BRITISH STAFF

7 ONDON, June 1.-The British

situation had this to say OF the
Americans:
mo review of the past week
would be complete without men
tion OF the fine exploit of the
American troops in the capture
OF Cantigny. 1t was an extreme
ly well conducted operation and.
in view OF the fact that che
troops were uAtried. II is notable
that they not only captured their
objective but held II.
at Is always much more din
cult to consolidate and retain a
position than to capture 1t, and
the performance OF the Ameri-
cans shows the very high
standard as well as their train
ing. bravery and lighting qual-
