BLESSED QUENTIN:
You would be amused at the pets
they have aboard this ship. They have
two young bulldogs, a cat, three little
raccoons and tiny Cuban goat. They
seem to be very amicable with one
another, although think the cat has
suspicious OF all the rest. The coons
clambor about everywhere and the 9th
er afternoon while l was sitting read
ing, suddenly felt my finger seized
in pair Of soft black paws and found
the coon shifting at 1t, making me
feel a little uncomfortable lest Il
might think the finger something good
to eat. The two puppies play endless
ly. One of them belongs to Lieuten-
ant Evans. The crews will not be all
lowed ashore al Panama or else /
know they wond PICK up a whole raft
OF ctheripets there. The tackles seem
especially fond of the little coons. A
few minutes ago saw one Of the JACK
les strolling around with a coon percn
ed upon his shoulder and now and
then he would reach up his hand and
give it small piece of bread 10 eat.

Yesterday of two German prisoners

military Intelligence, Washington
d. c.
According to information here, the
mysterious prisoners who landed
from the Agamemnon under heavy
guard, formerly were German officers
of high rank, occupying positions of
great responsibility under Won Hind
enburg. Before the inauguration
of the American offensive in 1918.
operatives of the American military
intelligence corps prevailed upon
them through inducements which
have not been divulged, to deliver
plans of the German general staff
covering the proposed movements
on the western front, probable lines
of retreat, points at which stands
would be made and other detailed
information of. inestimable value.

eral Pershing was able to lay out
his campaign with great freedom and
it is believed that a result was to
cut the cost of the American advance
practically in half.
The German officers later surren-
dered themselves to the American
forces. Certain of their former asso-
ciates had become suspicious, how
ever and are believd to have banded
together to mete out stern justice.
Utmost precautions were taken even
within the allied lines to protect the
informers. but as officials believed
that as long as they were kept in

transfer to this country
Preparations for the moving of
the prisoners were kept close secret
and 1t was only through the careless
ness of some clerk that they were
included in the roster of the Aga
memnon when she left France.
The plan was to send the pris-
oners to some isolated Army post
where they might be given military
protection for a time. Eventually,
1t is supposed. they would have been
permitted to escape" to some other
country. there to begin their lives
anew Officials will not say whether
this plan can be safely followed now.
