HUNS FEAR NEGROES
Offer Reward for Each colored
Soldier Captured.
Now Attract Great Attention in Occu.
pied Sections Of
Germany.

With the American Army Of Occu-
pation.--Wherever American negroes
have appeared in the area occupied by
the Americans they have attracted
great attention among the civilians.
In Treves, Coblenz and other places,
during the early days of the occupa-
ton, crowds assembled wherever any
negro soldiers stopped in the streets,
and it was necessary for the military
police to enforce the orders prohibit
ing gatherings in the public thorough
fares. Even yet in Coblenz and Treves,
where there are a number Of negro
soldiers, the negroes attract crowds of
German children every time they ap-
pear in the streets.
The German soldier also regards the
negro with great curiosity. According
to a discharged German soldier in
Rengsdorf, the German army, early in
the war, offered a reward of 400
marks for the capture alive Of each
negro. The discharged German soldier
said that throughout the war German
soldiers lived in great fear, and even
terror, Of the negroes, and it was in
order to overcome this fear that re-
wards were offered.
One evening on the front scouting
party, consisting Of ten Germans, in
Guiding the discharged soldier, encoun-
tered two French negroes. In a fight
which followed one Of the negroes es-
capped, the other being taken prisoner.
In the fight two of the Germans left
their comrades and ran to the protec-
ton of their own trenches, but these,
it was explained, were young soldiers
and unframed. The reward of 400
marks subsequently was divided
among the remaining six Germans for
capturing the French negro.
