GERMANS PREPARED FOR
GREAT CARNIVAL OF PILLAGE
HAD DRIVE SUCCEEDED

"The moment we had passed st.
Quentin, the pillage began" he said.
can Of the abandoned houses were
ransacked and entire stocks of provis.
ions were carried away. In many places
old men and women still remained and
these pleaded that they not be allowed
to die of starvation. But the soldiers
pushed them back ana carried away
the silverware, breaking everything that
could not be taken away with them.
Clothing was torn from the bureaus
and wardrohes and tables and furniture
was smashed, while mirrors and pie
lures were snatched from the walls and
destroyed.
In the cellars and wine caves, all the
wine that could not be drunk, was pour
ed out on the ground.
"Captsin Deterner, commanding one
of the battalions, gave the order to a
number of soldiers to go to Noyon for
the purpose Of pillaging it. They return

STEADY STREAM OF TROOPS
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

"During the past week in France a
series of minor operations have been in
our favor. Wherever Germans broke in
we drove them out. This is satisfactory
because the Germans are cxtraoroinsri,y
good at infiltrating, holding and improv.
ing positions, due to the good training
Of their regimental oficcrs, suborainatea
and staff. 4
"The airfighting also has resulted
satisfactorily to us. From May 9 to Is
seventy one German airplanes were
brought down, while only nineteen Of
ours were missing. Our air situation 10
infinitely better than last year, and
was considerable factor in halting the
first phase of the German offensive.
"The Germans are now oiling up for
a real effort. The longer they wait the
more troops they can put in. If they
wait little longer they can renew the
offensive ON as big scale as they be-
gan it-a fifty mile front. However,
the longer the Germans wait, the more
time it gives US to prepare.
Regardless of the changes in ter
ritorial position, tho situation will be
very anxious all this summer.n

British General Staff Officer
Tells Of Help Of United
States In War

London, May 1s.-"A steady stream
|of American reinforcerAeLts is flowing
into France faster and faster, swelling
the allied reserves. The Germans pre-
tend to belittle American aid, but we
do not think the German general staff
does-otherwise they would not have
hazarded their e,.tire future on this big
attack"
{ This statement, made to the United
Press by representative Of the British
general staff authoritatiyely represents
the views Of that body.
"The Americans must buy their ex.
perience, like everyone else, continued
the officer, sbut they are good business
men and will buy it at the cheapest
market and sell it at the highest price
to Germany. The Americans will make
good. They will never let go until they
do.

Allies Have Downed One
Hundred Enemy War
Planes In Week

With the British Armies in France,
May 17.--Summer weather shimmers
across the battle fields, while guns
thunder lazily as if about TO doze off
completely.
Now and then they awake with a sud-
den jump and blaze furiously for few
minutes. Then they nod again.
The sky has turned from deep blue
to sizzling grey, making the grey
bellied airplanes well-nigh invisible
But their everlasting drone floats to
earth, while on occasions a terrific aer-
ial battle with machine guns proves the
sky riders arc on the job, though prae-
tically out of sight. Air fighting has
been very heavy during the past three
days, the infantry doing little outside
of routine warfare. There is an ocacs-
ional raid, or a clash with patrols which
get through, breaking the otherwise
complete immobility.
