General March corrected an err
roneous impression that the 27th
and S0th divisions, reported as
withdrawn from the British lines
had been designated for early return
to the United States. These two di-
visions, he explained have been re-
turned to Pershing's' command and
have not been assigned for trans
portation home.
Plans for bringing soldiers home.

from this division had been stationed
south of the Marine near Chateau
Thierry when the last German drive
toward Paris was repulsed. Ts... di-
vision Joined in the counter onensive
in the Marine salient in the middle
of the month and fought its way to

In the Meuse-A -Argonne assault of
the America army this division took
Chatel-Cherey in the action which
broke German resistance on this
front.
Reports from General Pershing
showing that American soldiers cap
tured by Germany are returning to
the American lines daily. General
March said, and the department has.
received no report of mistreatment
of them by the enemy. Most of the
men are entering the lines of the
American army of occupation, since
that army holds the front line.
The disposition to be made of
German or other enemy subjects
interned in this country, General
March thought, would be worked
out at the peace conference.

PROTEST RATE CHARGES

The Central Iron and Steel Com

YANKS LAUGHED
AT PROP PAGANDA
Harrisburg Officer, in Letter
Home, Gives Sample of AT
tempts 10 Weaken Mori.le

Lieutenant Albert II. Stackpole,
of the 18th Field Artillery, in
France in recent letter to the home
folks here enclosed a leaflet dropped
by q German airman over the
American lines He says:
The Germans are surely amusing.
so thick-headed. For instance, just
few moments ago cross mark ed
plane swept across at a very low
altitude and dropped a sheaf of
white papers. Several fell near. our
position, the ignorance and mis-
understanding of the pleas, amuses
me; it's so thoroughly Boche. They
have failed nightly in their inter-
probation of the American spirit and
character. It's rather surprising at
this time, too, after the fight we've
put up against them these last few
months. The boys Just laugh al
that sort of propaganda and pay no
attention to it,"
The leaflet heading and ALL is as
as follows:
THE BETTER PART OF
NALOR
Are YOU brave man or
coward?
1t takes brave man to stand
up for his principles. Cowards
stand behind leaders and die,
imagining that by so doing they
become heroes.
The motive, of an act is it's
measure. If you think the war
is hell and that you as citizen
of the United States of America
have no business to be fighting
in France for England you are
a coward to stay with it, If
you had the courage to face
criticism you would get out and
over the top in no time to Il
place where there is some like
lihood that you may see home
again.
What business is this war in
Europe to you anyhow? You
don't want to annex anything,
do you? You don't want to give
up your life fer the abstract
thing humanity
If you believe in humanity
and that life is precious, save
your own life and dedicate it to
the service of your own country
and the woman who deserves
it of you.
Lots of you fellows are staying
with ii because you are too cow
ardly to protest, to assert your
own wills. Your wills are the
best judges of what is best for
you to do. Don't ask any ones
opinion as to- what you would
better do! You know best what
is the right thing to do. Do it
and save your life! Germany
never did any harm to you, all
the newspaper tales of wrongs
were printed to infiame you 10
the lighting pitch, they were lies,
you know YOU cant believe what
YOU read in the papers.
If you stay with the outfit ten
chances to one, all you will get
out of it will be a tombstone in
France.
Lieutenant StaCkpole writes fur
ther: "One thing l do want and that
is to be a part of the army of occu-
patton which will go into Germany.
| know [ don't want this war to end
until |. have the satisfaction of seeing
German towns crumble to dust un-
der the fire of our guns, RACED to
the ground so that not one stone is
left standing-the present condition
of so many of these pitiful French
towns.
Have just been speaking to q
French officer, an Alsatan, very keen
and an ardent disciple of AN eye for
an eye policy Don't think he'll be
happy unless he can burn some Ger
man towns"
