German Officers Gave Valuable lnfor-

the lives of the traitors was brought

Washington dispatch of Monday.
According to information here, the
mysterious prisoners who landed from
the steamship Agamemnon under
heavy guard formerly were German
officers of high rank, occupying posi-

Hindenburg. Before the inauSura-
ton of the American offensives In 1913
operatives Of the American military
Injustice corps prevailed upon them,
through inducements which have not
been divulged to deliver plans OF the
German general staff, covering the pro-
posed movements on the western mont,
probable lines Of retreat, points at
which stands would be made and other
detailed information Of inestimable
value.
With these plans before him, Gen

Certain Of their former associates had
become suspicious, however, and are
believed to have banded together to
mete out stern justice. Utmost pre-
cautions were taken even within the
Allied lines to protect the informers'
but as officials believed that as long as
they were kept in France their lives
would be in danger, orders were given
for their transfer to this country:
Preparations for the moving OF tne
prisoners were kept a close secret ana
it was only through the carelessness
of some clerk that they were included
in the roster Of the Agamemnon when
she left France.
The plan was to send the prisoners

these pesky little French kids. More
than once a Ford was missing and
several days later was traced to the
home Of some Frenchman living In the
village. Orders were issued by various
commanders prohibiting the little
Trenches from coming within the
areas occupied by troops. 1t didn't do
a bit of good; because they knew
nothing except to come and 80 az they

Caused Annoyance.
Tell the kids to "beat It," In French
and they would make of, making va
rious signs with their nose and fingers
as some bad little American boys will
some times do. Yet in q short while
they would be back again crying for
cigarettes and "chocoia," an they call
candy
There were three of these little ur-
chimes who used to cause me great
deal of annoyance. When first got
into LaPallice, I payed them a great
deal Of attention because I am natur-
ally fond Of little children. I was In
experienced with French children
tho agh and had I had previous eK-
perience with them would have sivea
them a wide berth. These three hung
around good deal and spent many
franc on them for candy and cigar
cites before I wished I hadn't. They
swiped my wrenches, they swiped my
clothes and they made life fairly miser
able for me. Every morning they
would come around and there was no
getting away from them. Finally one
day I decided I would take extreme
measures. purchased a plug Of
chewing tobacco-thick and black and
strong. Few French men chew to-
bacco, noae Of the women dc and none
of the kids.
The three musketeers hung around
me all day as usual, crying for cigar"
cites and "chocola-" I gave. theli
cigarettes and candy which they
greedily accepted, coming back several
hours later for more.
Then l took that plug Of chewing
tobacco out of my pocket and calmly
cutting Off generous slice for each,
handed it around. They knew nothing
OF chewing tobacco; but taking 1t al
a matter Of course that was giving
them more "chocola" proceeded to eat
that Browns mule quite ravenously.
Most Of II was swallowed before I saw
by their change Of facial expression
that they had discovered that the
"chocola" wasn't.
Of Course They Wore Mad.
Then they started splitting and
coughing and cussing me in French.
Considerable vomiting and writhing
and groaning was also on the pro-
gramme Of the evening and taken all
in all 1t was the maddsst trio of kids
have ever seen either in the United
States or Europe.
They soon beat it for home, balling
me out and making faces at me as
they went l was never bothered with
that particular trio again and think
they must have passed the word to
the rest Of the little arabs Of that vii
lage and vicinity to lay of Of me be-
cause the "chocola" l gave them
wasn't any good. / felt just little
ashamed Of myself later for my action
and yet l don't know that it was very
mean because those French arabs were

coolies were to some Of the rest Of us.
