WASHINGTON-I is authoritative
ly stated that the United States sent
no communication to Japan on the ac-
ton to be taken in Siberia. If any
United States views are expressed they
will probably be conveyed to Great
Britain, through which the United
States received all its information on
the subject
Further, it is stated that the United

change of any written communication
Japan already understands the United
States friendly attitude and it's dis
position to take no part.

The Germans now have sixteen di-

The Star-Mirror is today privileged
to publish letters from three Moscow
boys who were on the ill-fated trans
port, Tuscania, which was torpedoed
and sunk by a German submarine
off the Irish coast on the night OF
February 5. The letters are full OF
interest and thrills. They follow:
Charles J. Munson, of Moscow, re-
ceived a letter from his son, Oscar,
who was in charge of company on
the Tuscania when it was sunk, and
has given the letter to The Star
Mirror. It is very interesting as it
tells of the sinking of the transport
and how the soldiers behaved in time
of danger. The letter is written on
English Y. NJ G. A. paper but does
not give the location of the rescued
men. The envelope bears one-penny
stamp and the post mark of Belfast,
Ireland
Dear Folks:
l have just received my first taste
of the kaiser's "kultur." After being
on the ocean 13 days (unlucky num-
ber) we got submarines torpedo in
midships at $50 one evening, just af-
ter dark. We had eight destroyers
guarding our fleet but it was no fault
of theirs that we got it. You could
not see your hand before you, it was
so dark. was on 3 deck of the
ship when the explosion came and only
so feet from it. All lights went out
I picked myself up off the floor and
started up to deck D, then to G, then
to B, and then to my life boat posi-
ton on deck A. Most of my men were
already in line in their squad positions
as per boat drill. AS many of the
ships crew were killed (here
several lines have been deleted by the
CENSOR. ........
Most of us had never seen the
ocean before, so imagine our task OF
doing something we knew nothing
about. The davits got clogged, the
roper snarled and twisted and it
seemed that the boats never would
come off, 1 kept my men lined up
the entire two hours and 10 minutes
it took for our boat to come over. The
boat hit the water square. My men
started down the life lines but mob
on deck B directly below us jumped
into the boat and into the water
around it and our boat was filled in
less than minute and less than six
Of my men got in.
There was with about 40 men and
no boat. It seemed that death was
certain. No boat and the water SO
cold you could not keep alive in it.

THREE MOSCOW SURVIVORS Of
T(JSCAN|A WRITE TO HOME FOLKS

Well see IS we can't find something
that will float" I said and they fell
into line behind me. That was what
I was doing when I saw a dark OBJ
ject swerve around the stern and a
destroyer pulled alongside. We grab
bed some ropes off the deck, curled
them, threw the coil and tied the
rope to our rail and slid to the well
come decks Of the destroyer.
At 2:3O that night we arrived in
town, wet, cold and hungry, but, oh,
how glad to get on land. A hot bowl
of soup and hot stove dried out my
hunger and my clothes but, my God,
T couldn't forget the sights and walls
of the forepart of the night.
The country we are in is the most
beautiful country I was ever in and
the people so hospitable. They have
done everything possible to supply us
with tobacco, grub, entertainment, etc.
And talk You can't get away from
them. They want to know all about
the states; about us and about every
thing else, and I acknowledge we are
just as curious about them.
Our boys had an awful time with
the money. One of our fellows will
say, "Give me some of those cookies, y
and then will pull out handful of
coins and the storekeeper helps him
self. We don't know whether he gets
one cents worth or $5 worth.
With love, OSCAR.
From town 1 we were shipped to
town 2, and then to town 3, where
I am now.
Mrs. E. J. Armbruster received the
following letter from her brother,
George Fox, who was rescued from

REV. DAVID HAND
GIVEN FREEDOM
FORMER MOSCOW PASTOR RE.
LEASED FROM PRISON
!, AFTER FIVE YEARS

BOISE.-The board of pardons to-
day paroled David Hand, Moscow
minister, who has served five years
on the charge of criminal assault. He
was given consideration by the board
because of the dependency Of his aged
parents, and is released so that he
may care for them.
The Hand case was one of the most
sensational that developed in north
Idaho. At the time the charge was
filed and at the trial there was state
wide interest in the case.
Hand was convicted of wronging a
young girl
The case will be remembered here
by Moscow people as one of the most
sensational ever tried here. The min
lister was very popular prior to the
discovery of his guilt. He was pastor
of the Baptist church and had a large
following. He has paid an awful price
for his sin; he lost his wife, his
friends, his freedom, and the respect
of those who knew him.
The petition asking that he be par
oled was signed by many Moscow
people, while many others opposed it
bitterly. Mrs. Hand stood by her hus-
band until he was convicted and SEN
fenced and then secured divorce and
is said to be living with her parents
in California

FRENoH PRAISE AMERICAN VIM
Allied Lines Stopping Furious At
tacks Which Pour Against
Them-Believe They
Can Stay.

Paris, March 27.-The allies are
holding the line and the big drive IL
halted. Fighting is now In the open
on the west front and it expected
that the armies will soon be entirely
above ground.
Tho allied lines are holding and
stopping furious attacks which con-
tiinue without break. The German
efforts are centered between Roye and
Noyon. ss ei
Hugo German losses are admitted.
Stories told by prisoners indicate
nearly SO per cent lost by some Ger
man units.
The French praise the vim Of the
American troops who are in the thick
of the fighting. The advance Is held
nm all along the line and 1t is be-
lieyed that the Germans cannot go
farther.
British Front in France, March 27.
After six days of terrific lighting,
the German offensive in France Isl
beginning to show signs of losing its
momentum. The progress of the
enemy has materially slackened and
the form of the dent made in the
allied line west of Cambria has be-
gun to resemble the familiar wedge
like salient instead of the broad
straight forward movement OF an OF
fensive which carries all before it.
Official statements issued at Lon
don confirm the report from Berlin
that American forces are engaged in
the struggle. They are reported as
fighting shoulder to shoulder with
the French and British in the region
of Roye, on the south side of the
salient driven into the allied front.
There has been no official report sent
to Washington as to the identity Of
these troops who are taking part in
this greatest battle in history.
Each succeeding day reveals the
plan of the Germans absolutely to
crush the allied lines west of Cam
brai, terrain which could not be de-
Tended by Won Hindenburg a year
ago. Each official report shows that
this sector is valueless from a mill
tary standpoint and that the Germans
have paid a terrible price for their
advance to the lines established by
the allies during the first two years
of war. 1t is officially reported that
seventy German divisions or $4,000
men have taken part in the fighting
and that troops have been moved
from every part of the western bat
tie front to re-enforce the armies
which have been forcing the British
