Documents Relating to Mr.. Bris-

A. Mitchell Palmer. custodian of
alien enemy property, has sent to
the Senate judiciary subcommittee
appointed to investigate the pur-
chase of the Washinton Times by
Arthur Brisbane through the finan-
cial assistance Of the brewers the
documents which he has in the case.
It is understood that they are the
same as those which he sent to Scna-
tor King of Utah. a member of the
subcommittee, before the investiga-
ton was ordered by the Senate, and
which were made public at that
time.
The subcommittee is still waiting

Department of Justice has, showing

machine gun nests being met with.
These and ordinary snipers have been
troublesome, although unimportant, in
view of the general operation.
One detachment of engineers south
of Montfaucon. being hampered in
their work. dropped their tools long
enough to clean out one German ma
chine gun nest. The gunners who
were not killed were captured by the
Americans.
The prisoners carried in dozens of
machine guns and automatic rifles
which were captured with them, and
the cages in the rear resemble small
arsenals. A majority of the prisoners
expressed pleasure that the war has
ended for them.

Press).-Among the prisoners taken
today by the Americans were fifteen
soldiers Of Hungarian division
whose position was astride the Meuse
river.
To the east of the Meuse. more than
100 men from the Hungarian division
were captured by the French who
were cooperating with the Americans
in the drive.
Upon many German prisoners cap
tured by the Americans was found
American propaganda. which had been
cropped behind the German lines a
week ago by American aviators. These
leaflets told of the actual treatment
afforded to German prisoners taken by
Americans as an offset to the report
that German officers were telling Ger
man privates that the Americans kill
ed all prisoners after torturing them.
Most of the American leaflets were
found in the pocketbooks of the pris-
oners together with letters. keepsakes,
paper money and photographs.

cesses against Turkey and Bulgaria,
the Germans are being pressed back
vigorously on important sectors of the

and opinion here is that the Germans
are getting near the last ditch.
The vigorous onslaught OF the Brit

points of the German front. and comes
rapidly after the victories gained by
