BOCHE PRISONERS
MAY WORK IN j. S.

Whether German prisoners taken
by Americans in France shall be
brought to this country for farm and
other labors will be among the prob
lens settled by the American-Ger-
man prisoner conference converting
today at Berne. This conference will
be followed by similar sessions with
alternate delegates, il present plans
carry.
The question of transporting Ger
man prisoners to the United States
has long been under discussion. No
tonnage would be required to supply
them il they come here, while they
can also be doing needed labor.
Other matters to be considered are:
General treatment of prisoners: pay
of officers; exchange of i'll or wound
ed captives; supplying food to Amer
lean prisoners in Germany.
The American conferees are headed
by Minister Garrett, OF the Neither
lands. and included on the board is
John w. Davis, newly appointed am
bassador to England.
These delegates will make their
arguments, as far as possible, along
lines of fair play. II these arguments
do not prevail the Americans will be
in a position to show Germany that
the balance in number OF prisoners is
constantly growing against her and
that 1t behooves her to give the
Americans proper treatment.

HUNLAMENTS USE
Of GAS BY ALLIES

A picture OF Germany horror
stricken at the use of gas in war
fare, and a pious regret that the
allies, by first using 1t, should have
forced Germany to such a practice
this is the picture carried in the latest
TeutOn affront, a reply to the inter
Dstional committee OF the Red Cross
use OF asphyXiating gases
in war time.
Entente diplomatic cables reported
this today as zone of the greatest
monuments of German impudence."
The French and British only made
use of gas long after the Germans
began using 1t in Flanders in the
spring of 1915. Germany, preceded
her actual use of gas in warfare by
sending out reports that the allies
were spreading gas during their at
lacks, IL is said.
NeutraIs refuse to be convinced by
Germany's reply to. the Red Cross
inquiries. Swiss papers are quoted
as saying that Germany will not make
anyone believe she was not the FIRST
to use asphyxiating gas.

Tell That to the Marines" his

at the Marine Barracks last evening
before an audience of hundreds OF
marines, for whom he wrote the song

Gen. Pershing, who. 1t was said by

of Capt. Feinler's work among the
soldiers would be counterbalanced by
his German name.
Evidence against Capt Feinler. who
was arrested a week ago. and has since
been held incommunicado, was said to
have been largely obtained through the
use of Photographic device. Aside
from this evidence, it was said, mill
