HUN MAJOR IS CAUGHT

WITH THE AMERICANS, June 13 - Excellent American artillery fire IS largely responsible for the capture by the Marines of 400 prisoners in fighting which resulted in clearing Bel eau Wood.
 The Gclmans said that they were told to avoid capture because the Am orleans torture them. They started to run but were cut off by barrage of fire.
 One Major and four lieutenants are among the prisoners. They are all poorly clad and were glad that they were captured. They want to go to America after the war.
 The Major of the forces said that Germany plans t oend the war by next fall. The barn in which the prisoners are confined holds more prisoners of war than the Americans have held in one building for 50 years.
