WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, March 3.--A plan of attack iscluding a map of the American posi- tions indicating every dug-out, was removed from the body of the German captain who led the assault against the American positions northwest of Foul, and shows how completely the Germans prepare for their raids.
 The map goes into such detail as to show every machine gun emplacement and trench, and every depression of the ground within the American lines.
 The Germans rehearsed the plan of attack four times, according to the Ger man prisoners captured, who said they were glad to be prisoners, as they be- lieved the Americans would treat them we'll

] .pAEEG.ssHIIEEs A LUXURY IN
 HUN RIDDEN BELGIUM

A letter received by the Belgian In formation bureau says
 One does not dream of buying lin- en. The prices are entirely unapproach- able. More extraordinarily still. to mend or repair ones clothes has itself become luxury permitted to few, since spool of thread now costs 60 cents to $1." 55
 The following is from letter writ ten from Flanders:
 "How do we live? You can not form any idea of it. In whatever di- rection we turn we run against Ger. man pride which, provocative and se0rnful, eyes us from head to foot 1t is painful. We can not endure it. There are fines upon fines at a time when money Is so needed to buy in dispensable things.
 For all that, what is indispensable is still very difficult to obtain. We have too much to die, too little to live. We are becoming skeletons, but hope sustains us. For the rest, we let the days go by as God gives them to us.
 Now we have an opportunity to prove how admirable one people are. Our hearts break in contemplating all. the misery that we see about us; but we are proud, nevertheless, to prove that we can endure it all without hesi- tating or wavering.
 Germany is becoming more and more covetous. She plucks us and strangles us in every way"

dividuals are buying his notes on the imperial government.
 The claim has been advanced re- peatedly that von Eckardt, deprived of the use of neutral diplomatic wires in communicating with his government, was keeping in touch with the Berlin foreign office through letters carried on Spanish ships to the gulf of Biscay, whence they were sent by submarine to Berlin. It was stated that he was being supplied with funds via this route, but the enormous sums being spent by the legation seemed to make this claim untenable. Despite denial by the Spanish line involved, it is be- lieved here, that Von Eckardts letters are being carried on it's ships, that messages from the legation, sent in plain envelopes to reliable addresse in Spain, ultimately find their way ;0 Berlin, by way of Switzerland or some other route.

LONDON, March 4.-Contrasted with the German proclamation threat, ening punishment upon the women and children of Udine, Italy, if they failed to work in the fields for sixteen hours every day, under German dom, ination, the order issued by the British commander to the people of Jerusalem after the capture of that city, shows the different manner in which the entente and the central powers wage war The British order reads:
 "It ie-r4Ay desire that every person should pursue his lawful business With out fear of Interruption. Furthermore, since your city is regarded with affec- tion by three of the great religions of mankind. and it's soil Has been conse- crated by the prayers and pilgrimages of the deyout for many centuries, therefore be it it known that every sacred building, monument holy spot. shrine, pious bequest. or customary place of prayer, will be maintained and protected according to the existing customs and beliefs of those to whose faiths they are sacred"
