FATE OF AMERICAN
PRISONERSUNKNOWN
BY J. w. PE0LER.

with the American Army in France.
Jan. 2.-What is the fate OF seven
American soldiers of the IL
taken prisoner by the Germans in their
trench raid of Nov. 8?
Thousands Of Sammies over the
American zone were left to draw their
own, conclusions today on whether the
Boches had murdered seven helpless
captives. The matter was called to
every soldiers attention in an official
division bulletin circulated today. The
article sets forth these facts
In the November raid the Boches
took IL prisoners.
Later, an illustrated German paper
printed photographs Of the first
American prisoners, surrounded by a
haunting crowd in Berlin--and the
photograph showed only five prison.
ers.
The bulletin makes no suggestions
as to the fate Of the missing seven, but
few officials are hopeful that they are
yet alive.
A certain famous major general,
commenting to the United Press today
on the German atrocities declared:
1.-THE Huns mistreatment Of prison
ers Is one of the most frightful chap
tiers of the war. The Sammies must
be warned and must be prepared to
sell their lives at the highest price; to
fight to death, even, in the face Of ov-
erwhelming numbers"
The traditional good humor of the
American soldiers was transformed in
to bitter rage when the Sammies to-
day read bulletins announcing the
German plans to treat future American
prisoners as persons of no intelli-
gence." and to place them under I'M
usual hardships.

SUSPECTED IN THE
FIRE AT NORFOLK
Spy Hunt Under Way by
Federal Agents Results in
the Arrest of a Number of
Foreigners.

Norfolk, Va, Jan. 2.-While SILVER
ing native patrols guarded the fire
swept business sections here today,
government and city officials sought
to learn if German plotting was the
root Of fires and explosions which yes
terday did about 100000 damage to
the Monticello hotel and other build
ings.
A spy hunt while the flames still
blazed netted Hugo Schmidt and H.
Leasing and a number Of other sus-
poets.
Winter winds stirred the flames
through the night in the ruins of the
hotel, CRANKY theatre and other struc-
lures, but the fire chief believed that
any serious spread was doubtful.
TWO OTHER FIRES.
Meantime the Hampton Roads dis
trict was the scene Of two other fires.
Several structures were destroyed by
fire in the vicinity Of Nelson and
Chestnut streets. Portsmouth, while
several negro shacks near Camp Stu
art were ruined. The camp was
alarmed by the proximity Of the blaze
and while 1t continued false alarm
from another nearby section was
sounded.
That the fires in the three sections
were part Of a plot to ruin naval es-
Establishments here is possible.
While the main fire was a consid-
cradle distance from the Norfolk navy
yard, it is regarded as possible by Of
ficials that German agents sought to

the navy yard and elsewhere.

acters, meantime keeping the closest
