IRON CROSS NOT
 DESIRABLE NOW A German Prisoner Trades Emperor's War Token
 for Cigarette

British Port. October 24.-(Bv the As<oeiated Press. .l--German prisoners captured in the recent fighting. who have arrived here show surprising de- preciation of the once coveted iron cross. one or them traded his decoration for cigarette and an American officer who accompanied the captives from France. sad several of them spoke slightingly or the war token bestowed upon them by Emperor William.
 A marked change in the demeanor of the new prisoners was also noticea ble. Instead of the arrogant and almost in. soient manner which characterized fheir predecessors, when the Germans were sweeping everything before them the latest contingent seems humbla ana crestfallen. Almost every officer ana sgone in ten of the men wore the rihhon of the iron cross.
 The tobacco famine which exists amons the prisoners makes it easy for Ameri. can soldiers to collect souvenirs The Germans will part with almost any of their belongings for a package of cigar cites.
 American troops are leaving here for France daily with bands playing and flags flying.

 However, rifles were still being pack cd around. Nothing else had yet been issued on which to fix bayonets. The Yankees were willing to put some smoke on the grenades and try to cut the plate under instructions, but they rebelled against the mental exercise of trying how to forget how to shoot A ser geant told me of the report some the men brought back who had been billeted with the British. the story of a Tommy who sprinted half way across Elan ders dragging his rifle in his left hand and trying to catch up with a routed heinie raider so that he could hurl a bomb, The sergeant ended up, Say. believe me, remembering how to shoot has allowed us to forget lot of that trench stuff in short order"

CONGESTION WILL
PREVENT PARADE

Washington, Feb. 16-Ratlroad
freight congestion on eastern lines
and the necessity of moving the last
contingent of the national army will
prevent any extensive movement of
soldiers to cities for parades on
Washington's birthday, Director Gen
eral McAdoo explained today.
In a letter to Maj. Gen. John Bid
die, acting chief of staff, the director
general declared it would be impossi-
BILE to transfer the 315th infantry and
the 312th artillery, Pennsylvania na-
tional army troops, from Camp Aea[a
to Philadelphia for a Washington's
birthday parade.
Thousands of passenger cars and
locomotives will be required for the
movement of the last contingent of
the National Army to training camps
beginning Feb. 23 and these now are
being assembled in all parts of the
country. In some localities where
congestion is not serious troop move
ments for parade purposes will be
possible, particularly when camps are
only a few miles from cities.
The director general is eager to
provide for such movements wher-
ever possible and will instruct re-
gional directors to make every effort
to transport the troops. unless the
movement of more vital supplies
would be hampered.

STATE TEACHERS
co UPON RECORD
FOR PROHIBITION

Hartford, Feb. 16-The State
Teachers association this noon
adopted almost unanimously a resolu-
ton endorsing the national and state
movements for the prohibition of the
importation, manufacture and sale #
intoxicating liquors The resolution,
which came as surprise to the
greater part of the members, was in
troduced by Henry T. Burr of Wilt
mantle, second vice president of the
association, after addresses by the
Rev. DR.. Lyman Abbott, editor of the
Outlook, and DR.. George E. Vincent,
president of the Rockefeller founda-
ton. Neither of the speakers had
mentioned prohibition at any time
during their addresses.
Chairman F. A. Verplanck of the
meeting, which was a joint gathering
of the various teachers organizations
and of the state council of defense, in
troduced Mr.. Burr, following the
speech of Mr.. Vincent, saying that
there was one item of business that
should be transacted. Mr.. Burr said
that several men had consulted and
that the resolution had been agreed
on for submission to the teachers. He
read the document, as follows:
Resolved, That the teachers asso-
citation, in mass meeting assembled
go on record as indorsing the state
and national movements fer the pro.
hibition of the importation .nanufac-
ture and sale of intoxicating liquors.

MAIL SECRETS
Led TO ARREST
OF HUN AGENTS

Philadelphia, Feb. 16.-Switzerland
is the channel through which Adal-
bert K. Fischer, said to be an import
ant agent Of the German government
in this country, communicated with
friends in Germany.
Fischer, head of the firm of Schultz
& Koerting Co., valve makers. Phila-
delphia, now is interned in the Federal
prison camp at Fort Oglethorpe, Ga,
as a dangerous enemy alien.
Secret service agents made this
known today when they referred to
mail sent by representatives of Fisch-
er abroad. The mail was first ad-
dressed to persons in Zurich under the
seal of the Swiss government.
Other mail sent from here to Ger
man agents was mailed under the seal
of the Colombian governmtnt. Teu-
ton propagandists here believed their
information was secret, but the United
States opened the letters, learned the
contents and permitted them to pro-
ced on their way.
With the mail, however, and in fact
on the same boat, was a government
secret agent. What he learned when
the mail was delivered resulted in the
arrest in this country of many
German spies, whose names have not
been published.
