HUN PRISONERS
YANK SOLDIERS GIVE THEM
TREAT OF WHITE BREAD!

Sioux Falls, Oct. 1s.-"We gave
"a few of them German prisoners)
some American white bread as they
were marched back of the lines. You
should have seen them eat it." Thus
writes Elmer Kennard, a South Da-
kota boy, who is in the thick of the
fighting In France. He continues:
Some of the prisoners were only
IA years old. Can you imagine 1t?
They were all SO scared they could
hardly speak. They said they had
been told the American soldiers kill
ed every prisoner they took. OF
course, I couldn't blame them for be-
ing pretty shaky at the knees. TO
explain our feelings in real tight
places and under heavy lombard
ment is some job; in fact, 1t is al
most impossible.

ing in both the defensive against
Paris and the offensive the Allies
started on July Is. The marines
were some of the first troops to go
over the top that morning, and, of
course, we made one grand showing.
Il fully agree with what Sherman
said; war Is hell In its worst stages.

way for hours. which I have expert

thousands of them. Bunches OF 1000

A POET CALLED
NATIONAL ARMY MEN ARE VIG-
ORoUsLY DEFENDED.

Gregory, Oct. 1S.-Elmer Il. John
SON, a South Dakota boy who is at
tached to The headquarters company
of the 355th infantry, which for
some time has been on the fighting
front in France, in a letter to the
home folks defends the national
army men and pays a tribute to what
they are doing in the fighting zone
in France. The defense was brought
out by a poem which was sent to him
from South Dakota, and which cast
reflections on the men of the nation
al army, comparing them unfavor-
ably with the regulars. In his let
ter he thus refers to the fighting
qualities of the national army men:
The poet shouldn't have tried to
run down those national army men
until he had been up to the front line
trenches and seen them fight. IT he
could see what I have seen in the last
few weeks, when there was nothing
but national army men, how nobly
they fought. how those national army
men died. with their hands still
clinging to their guns; where men
with bullet holes through different
parts of their bodies still chung to

Washington, Oct. Is. - Germany
has decided to ask the Allied terms of
an armistice, according to informa.

semiotficial channels.
1t is reported that Berlin is dis.
patching a rejoinder to President Will
son accepting the armistice terms he
outlined "only under condition that
Germany's interests and those of the
German people are guaranteed"
From another source comes the re-
port that Germany will inquire of
President Wilson what guarantees of
good faith the United States and its
Allies intend to require the Berlin
government to give before an armis-
tice can be granted.
Foch to Name GUARANTEES.
The president in his note said that
Germany would be required to give
guarantees which would assure the
maintenance of the present military
supremacy of the Allies and that these
guarantees would be determined by
Marshal Foch and his associated com
manders.
The Allied supreme war council is
said to have decided that Metz. Cob.
len and Strassburg, the strategic keys
to Germany, must be occupied by AL.
lied forces before Germany could be
accorded an armistice. The surrender
of the German navy to the Allies also
has been proposed to the war council
as one of the guarantees.

PESTS DAMAGING
COTTON CROP IN
PARTS OF VALLEY
Two Species of Sucking Plant Bugs
Tarnish Bug and Stink Bug, Report
ed to Be Causing Some Losses
New Remedy Perfected.

While persons familiar with the sit
uation throughout the Valley admit
ted that some losses to the cotton crop
were being occasioned by two species
of sucking plant bugs-the tarnished
bug and the stink bug-no alarm was
expressed.
While the pests have been known
to cotton growers and entomologists
for years the problem of eradicating
them in this valley is new one.
The most important discovery in
this connection is the fact that flowers
of sulphur, when busted on the cotton
infested with the tarnish bug is very
effective.
The tarnish bug prefers alfalfa to
cotton, but does not seem to injure
thtat crop. A device has been con-
structed here, which is designed to be
drawn by two draft animals, which
rakes the foliage with a series OF
cumbs, catching the pests as they arC
disturbed.
Those desiring advice about THEN
crop troubles are asked to communi-
cate with L. A. McGregor, federal en-
'tomologist for the Valley, Box SO
