Examination of German prisoners
brought an interesting incident One
little Hun had a mother in America
and had once lived there. When ask
ed by an American officer why he
was in the German army he replied
that he had to be. When asked
what he thought of the Kaiser. he
said the Kaiser could "go to hell"
1t was very evident this was done
for effect in an effort to captivate
his captors. But there entered a
German officer who had commanded
this Hun before both were captured.
The German private turned to the
officer and greeted him with a most
horrible grimace and a joyful taunt
This, one could see. was thoroughly
heartfelt.-From a Cablegram by
