Valor of His ArEnv

AMSTERDAM, Jan. 5.-The German
Grown Prince, in New Years order
to his army, praises its valor in the
battles of the year just closed The
order, as reproduced in the Dusseldorf
'Nachrichten," reads:
"The year 1917 has gone down into
history, and with it the deeds of arms
OF my army. The French army stood
ready on the Aisne and in the Cham
payne to deliver a great, decisive blow.
An overwhelming superiority Of men.
arms and ammunition was counted
upon to force victory for the enemy
The assault sanguinarily collapsed
before your faithfulness and bravery.
You thereby broke the enemv's
strength and paved the way to victory
for the German arms in Russia and
Italy.
I'm tenacious struggle, relying
only upon your own strength and YOUR
self-sacrlficc and courage, in difficult
battles on the Chemin- des-Dames, in
the Champagne and on the blood sod
den ground Of Nerdun, you protected
the rear of the advancing armies in
the east and the south. In loyal com
radeship you also fought in Flanders
and near Cambria for Germany's honor.
PROUD, and with a thankful heart. I
behold you, my brave, resolute leaders
and my heroic troops. With an I'M
stained shield and sharp sword we
stand on the Threshold of the new
year around the imperial war lord,
ready to strike and win. God with u.s."

ITALIAN ARMY HEADQUARTERS
IN NORTHERN ITALY, Friday, Jan.
1.-THE officer commanding the 1,400
Austrian prisoners captured in the re-
cent French success on Monte Tomba
gave the correspondent an opportunity
to-day Of going among them and talk

war conditions and what the enemy
still could do in carrying on the strug-
GLE
A more miserable lot of human be-
ings would be difficult to imagine. The
officers were in even worse condition
than the men. Their clothing was
ragged and the tinselled ornamental
ton on the uniforms was gangrened
with rust.
They had not been shaved for a
week. Their red hands looked like
pieces of raw becfsteak. None had
overcoats, as all were wearing light
trench uniforms when the French
swept around them. Yet, despite this
misery, they put on surprisingly bold
front. and any one thinking they are
crushed is closing his eyes to facts.

where they are being rounded up pre-
paratory to being set to work or sent

were stretched along the road for
some distance. each group being guard

carried spades and picks instead Of
guns.

A coating of trench mud made them
look worse than they really were, for
they had stout boots. leggings and
overcoats. Some had shawls and
blankets. Their headgear consisted
of battered helmets and caps with
heavy hoods.
AS the officers came from their
quarters it was seen they were chiof-
ly Hungarians. with some Moravians
and Dalmatians and one Galician. They
were very cold and their first request
was for warm food.

Asked about the war, the officers gave
Americas entry into it as an instance
that all the world was against the
Central Powers. One officer said the
was better off in Hungary than in
Austria. They thought, however. that
Austria Hungary could hang on. Asked
about the ragged condition of their
uniforms one officer said:

tramps. but what does that count in
fighting?"
The officers were very anxious to
know when they would be removed to
prison camps in France and seemed
gratified to learn that they probably
would 20 through Paris within two
weeks. After taking turns in getting
warm around the camp fire. the officers
returned to their quarters.
A German artillery officer, who was
captured was quartered separately.

Heavy Thrust by Combined
Forces of French and
British Likely

LONDON, Jan. 5-Therc are indica-
tions that the principal activity on the
Italian front has definitely shifted
from the mountain sectors to the
plains Of the Pave Valley. Rome Off
cially reported to-day that the enemy
artillery was showing increased activ-
ity along the middle section of the
river.

Allies Active on Pave
Along the Piave, however, the initia-
tive is no longer entirely in the en-
emy's hands. Both the Italians and the
British are showing activity here that
may presage greater things soon, with
the French ready to thrust into the
elbow of the foes line in the Tomba
sector.
The Rome official statement to-day
mentioned no important infantry OPP
erations. In the Seren Valley, enemy
troops on the march were surprised
and scattered by artillery fire. Teuton
patrols attempting to advance at the
head Of the Calcino Valley were driven
back by rifle fire before they reached
the Italian trenches.
Big Guns Active in Asiago
There was special artillery activity
in the eastern sector of the Asiago
plateau front and astride the Brenta
Valley. Berlin also mentioned this,
saying there was heavy firing between
the, Brenta River and Montello.
The aerial activity goes on day and
night both behind the lines and over

BUSCH ESTATE SEIZED
Property Valued At Millions Taken Over By Custodian Pallner-St. Louis Brcyyeries Included.

Washington. June 1S.-The entire Busch, widow of Adolphus Busch, the millionaire brewer Of St. Louis, has been taken over by the Government under the alien property law. These facts became known in connection with the return to America of Mrs. Busch. who has been living in Ger many for several years, or practically since the death of her husband.
 The Government has not yet ap- praised the property, which consists largely of breweries in St. Louis and other cities, stocks and bonds, and real estate in New York, but it is be- ieved to be worth many millions of dollars.
 Alien Property Custodian Palmer announced that the seizure of the estate was made some months ago. and that the Union Trust company of St. Louis had been named as deposi- tary and has been operating the prop erty for the Government. Under the law, which permits the Governmen to seize the property in this country of any person resident in Germany, ti- tie to the entire estate has reverted to the Government, and unless the Attorney General rules otherwise it will be held subject to such disposi- ton as the Government may choose to make of it.
 Mrs. Busch, who is "A years old was in Havana over Sunday on her way to the United States from Ger many through Switzerland and Spain.
 Mrs. Adolphus Busch. of St. Louis, returning from a long stay In Ger many, is. held temporarily at Key West. Fla, for examination by the Imni grafton authorities and agents Of the Departm ent of Justice. She is chief owner of the great brewery and other properties ordered taken over yesterday by the Alien Property Gus
