Camp Wadsworth, Spartanburg, s..
C.-There Is someone at all times
omong the soldiers guarding German
prisoners here who can understand
German, paying strict attention to
their conversations, to detect any plots
that might be Matched to escape, and
secure other information.
But 1t would seem that such pre-
cautions are hardly necessary. The
prisoners have repeatedly expressed
themselves as being very well content
to remain here until the end of the
a They realize that 1t would be
foolish for them to try to escape, as
few of them speak English and they
could not get very far before being de-
tected. They have been heard to ex-
press the hope that they will never be
exchanged for American prisoners In
Germany.
The prisoners ere willing workers,
and they do a great deal of work about
camp. They are given humane treat
ment, get plenty to eat and the same
medical attention as Is given to SOL
diers, but they are not by any means
treated as guests Of the nation, as has
been done at some other prison camps,
according to stories which have been
printed in the newspapers. The Ger.
man prisoners here more than earn
their keep.

FRENCH Confident
OF ALLIED VICTORY
Plan Triumphal Roadway From
Paris to the Forest Of st.
German.

Proof that France has never enter
tanned doubts as to ultimate victory
is shown In plans. conceived some time
ago and just made public, for the Gre
alton of a %triumphal way leading from
Paris to the Forest OF Saints German
as a monument to the victorious peace
of the allies.
* IS proposed that 1t should start
from the Porte Maillot. The statue of
the defense Of Paris, commemorative
1870, crowns the long rise leading
from that gate. This statue. consid-
cred by many as unimposing, would
be replaced by a great triumphal arch,
thus completing the highway from the
Tuileries arch, along the Champs
Elysee. to the Arc q Triomphe at the
Etoile, passing along the Avenue de la
Grande Armee. and through Porte
Maillot and the new arch to Saint
German.
An electric railway running down
the center of the triumphal way, over
400 yards wide, would carry Parisians
10 Saints ermain In 10 minutes along
the finest road In Europe.
1t is said that a French, English and
American committee has been formed
to carry out the project after the war.
1t Is estimated that the work would
require two years.

GERMAN TRAP FAILS

The Germans paid dearly for UNDER
estimating the shooting qualities OF
American aviators In France, according
to the account of a recent engagement
near verdun, on the western front,
where the enemy made an u~nsuccess-
full effort to trap some of Pershing's
flyers.
Three dummy balloons were sent up
by the Germans, and at the same TINA
a squadron of seven German machines
was planted" In the clouds.
The vigilant Yankees guessed the
plan and three planes were sent to at
tack the dummies. Twenty-four add.
tional machines arrived at the scene
two minutes later. The German avn
ators descended upon the three Amer
leans and almost simultaneously "a
Yankee ~battleplanes pounced upon the
enemy's machines. -Four German
planes were officially brought down In
flames, and then the Americans shot
down two genuine balloons before re-

Serves With King Albert.
IS STRONG FOR AMERICANS
Brother-in-Law Of Emperor Of Aus
tria Tried First to Get Into French
Army, but Rule Prevented Accepting
Him-Has Won Promotion and Been
Decorated With croix de Guerre for
Distinguished Services.

The Prince Sixte de Bourbon, de-
scendant of the erstwhile royal house
OF France, brother-in-law of the en-
peror of Austria and officer of the Bel
gian army, thinks Americans are
"epatant."
The prince, who some time ago re-
ceived that now famous letter from
the head of the house of Hapsburg
regarding possible peace terms in
connection with the Alsace-Lorraine
question, has nothing but praise for
Americans. He Is a great admirer of
President Wilson; he applauds the eff
forts America is making to fight the.
war to a victorious conclusion; he is,
delighted with the American soldier,
and he cheers the fighting qualities
which they have already so ably DEM
onstrated.
In a talk with Father w. A. Hem
mick Of w Ellington, d. c., who is now
In France as an officer In the American
Red Cross, the prince paid a glowing
tribute to the United States. With
Father Hemmick he went to school in
Austria, where they became intimately
acquainted.
Although Prince Sixte has spent
much Of his time in Paris and, despite
his illustrious origin, his name was
m unknown to many French before
Premier Clemenceau made public the
letter which he had received from
Emperor Charles.
He first came to Paris to live in
1905 when his father, Duke Robert of
Parma, sent him here to study.
"Paris," said the duke, contains the
best and the worst. Choose"

The prince Immediately began a
course in the Ecole de Droit and the
Ecole des Sciences P%olitiques. Then
In 1910 he began a series OF tours to
Tripol.. Egypt, the Soudan, Mesopo-
tamia and Syria.
In 1914 the prince was In Austria
and when the war broke out he had
only one thought-to return to France
and serve the country over which his

here he encountered obstacles; his
sister, Zita. having married the heir to
the Hapsburg crown and one of his
half brothers, Ellie, having married an
archduchess and serving in the Aus
TRAN army as a major, and the SYM
pathies Of his mother not being all on
the side of France. The news, too, of
the first weeks, coming from Berlin
and Vienna was to the effect that
France had already been beaten.
Good or bad" said the prince, Il
throw my fortunes with France"
And he LETT with his brother. Prince
Xavier.
In France he found other obstacles
to his plan to serve his country. For
he was opposed by the law which
prevents princes from serving in the
