which had been squeezed out when the
front line was shortened. The men were
nicely settled. Every office and house
was covered with German signs which
no longer are regarded as souvenirs be-
cause of their commonness.
The German houses were exception
ably comfortable. They had constituted
the boches winterquarters for rour
years and had many improvements such
as Russian stoves, reinforced wells and
roofs and the very latest in military
kitchens.
The officers quarters were luxuri-
Gus. They were inhabited by dough-
boys tonight. One headquarters mess,
which few days ago was German
divisional mess, was in bomb proof
structure. An American orderly was
Iextracting the snappiest kind Of rag
time from German piano, while the
iofficers ate. This outfit had been on
short rations, on account of the trans
portation difficulties and was dining
on German supplies.
J Some Of the doughboys in one Of the
houses were discussing the first days OF
the Franco American advance.
"Any one who saw boche could
take prisoner, said one. "The Ger
mans 'kamerad' without giving US a
change to fight

German unit.
Another group which had taken ovel
boche kitchen kept the German chef
cooking for them four days before in
terning them. A lone boche was cap
tured behind the lines. He said he was
looking for some ore to surrender to
day. When placed at the head of the
line of prisoners mareing to an intern
mcnt cage, he grinned and thanked tht
guard, saying: "Nach Parisi" (Tt

proved to be exceptionally bright chaps
They hated the Germans worse thar

not attack anywhere but would fight il

told til. Hungarians that machine gun

who retreated. The Hungarians ther
