most insolent manner which character
lied their predecessors. when the Ger
mans were sweeping everything be-
fore them. the latest contingent seems
humble and crestfallen. Almost every
officer and one in ten of the men wore
the ribbon of the Iron Cross.

among the prisoners makes il easy

most any of their belongings for a
package OF cigarettes.
American troops are leaving here for
