GERMAN SEARCHLIGHT
PLACED ON EXHIBITION
Captured in the Argonne by
Yanks-Engineers Explain Su-
periority Of American Make.

A German searchlight captured in
the Argonne by the Americans in
November. 1913, was placed on ex-
hibition by a contingent of the 56th
United States Engineers at noon to-
day on 18th street between E street
and Pennsylvania avenue. Washing
tonians purchasing Victory liberty
bonds will have an, opportunity Of
seeing not only the captured Ger
man light, but also one of the sixty
inch searchlights developed by the
American Army engineers for use on
the western front.
The superiority Of the American
light over the German will be dem
onstrated and explained by the men
in charge. The lights will be on ex-
hibition tomorrow also.
The German searchlight Is one OF
three used in the defense of Conf1ans
and Metz. 1t was put out of commits
sion by American fire. The American
searchlight has double the capacity
of the German, thus giving the Amer
leans a decided advantage in night
fighting and in picking up aircraft
The candle power of the American
light is 250,000. 900 and that of the
German light only 125.000,000. The
Americans were able to pick up an
enemy plane three miles away and
to keep it covered until five miles
distant, making them perfect marks
for American gunners.

SAYS "L0ST BATTALION"
WAS FIRED ON BY FRENCH
Gen. Alexander of the 77th De-
clares Maj. Whittlesey and His
Men Were Not Lost.

NEW YORK, May 5.-Much Of the
whitening fire to which the famous
lost battalion of the 77th Division
was subjected during it's gallant stand
in the Argonne forest was from
friendly artillery" Maj. Gen. Robert
Alexander, commander of the 18th, de-
clared in a statement last night de-
scribing the work Of Lieut.. Col.
Charles Whittlesey's men.
The French" he said. "in spite of
lery fire on the ravine in which the
men were stationed on October Z,
being quite convinced that the COM
mand had surrendered"
Gen. Alexander asserted that refer
ence to Lieut.. Col. Whittleseys men
as the lost battalion as well as
references to their rescue" were in
accurate.
Maj. Whittlesey Gater promoted to
ment. Conducted his command to the
objective designated for him by the
division commander, and held that
position until the remainder of the
division was able to move up to him.
He held it with the indomitable cour-
age which has characterized the work
of the American soldier wherever he
has been called upon to perform a
task. This command was neither lost
nor rescued.
Nor was it the only element of the
division cut off temporarily from other
portions of the line, he said. though
in point of numbers involved and
length of time during which 1T was
isolated i; stands out above the others.

PEACE PARLEy DELAYS
STIR BERLIN OFFICIALS
Public, However, Not Worrying.
Correspondent Scores French
Treatment of Delegates.

BERLIN. May (by the Associated
Press).-The delays in the peace ne
gotiations are not being welcomed in
official circles in Berlin. although the
general public does not seem to be
, worrying, having become accustomed
to the slow procedure. From the Ger
man standpoint the situation has
| been aggravated by the breakdown of
the two direct wires between Ber-
! lin and Versailles. slowing up trans
mission, or stopping it altogether at
times.
The peace department of the for
eign office, according to Count Won
Bernstorff former ambassador to the
United States. who is acting in an
| advisory capacity to the government
on peace questions. is being besieged
! by Germans of high and low decree
who are registering all sorts of crit
| icism. Some Of them think the dele
cation should be enlarged. while 9TH
ers object to its huge size Appar-
emily 10 one is satisfied with it's
ake-up.
Newspaper men with the German
peace delegation at Versailles are
sending generally conservative ac-
counts of their experiences but
Schuermann, the correspondent of
the German Gazette, who welded
tieHCHdHt, ollteF pen during the war,
does not disguise his disgust at the
treatment given the Germans by the
| French. He devotes the most of his
report today to "tha freedom of
movement" accorded the German
delegation. which he says is restrict
ed to limits.
He tells of a stenographer who
sought to purchase tooth power at
drug store and nearly caused a
diplomatic breach" the incident re-
sulting in her expulsion from the
store. The writer says that Ameri-
can correspondents. believing that
they could move about as freely as
they do in Berlin" tried to interview
a member of the German delegation
on its arrival but were sharply de-
MED the privilege.
Schuermann complains Of the high
prices, especially since the German
mark must be transformed into
francs. and says the charge for MAX
ing the exchange is exorbitant He
closes by saying:
"Frenchmen are neither too petty
nor proud to do cheap business with
enemv delegates"

Berlin View of Situation.

Munich. the gayest and best fed of
the capitals, has been given an am
plif1ed dose of communstic antics
when compared with Bremen. Ham
burg. Halle. Dusseldorf and Bruins
wick. The Prussisn. still mindful OF
the arbitrary export embargo main
tanned by Bavaria when Berlin went
rungry, today is marveling at the
lack of the vaunted intrepidity of the
Bavarians and their utter impotence
in the face of a handful of bolsheviki.
Now that the latter have apparently
been defeated and scattered. govern
ment circles in Berlin are not expect
ing insurrection in other sections on
an equally violent scale.
The reorganized political secret
service which the Lebknecht red
guards forcibly disbanded November
is at work again and is keeping
close scrutiny on bolshevik machina-
tions. In long discussion of the
situation today the chief of the
secret service informed the corre-
spondent that the communists are
now pretty well out of funds. as the
Russian ruble has been kicked out of
Germany.
The German bolsheviki," said the
chief. ARE pinning their last hope on
a possible failure in obtaining peace
and delay in the improvement of the
food situation"

Saxony Lacks Troops.

The chief added that Saxony was
the bolshevik's only remaining field
of promise, as that state is without
troops Leipsic at present Is the COM
munist headquarters, he added. as a
result of the first revolutionary cabi-
nets failure to check the radicals in
time.
The Berlin secret service is con-
tinuously conf1scating bolshevik liter
ature printed in Leipsic and shipped
to other sections Of the country.
The officials here do not believe
there will be more street fighting in
Berlin. as the government troops are
too we'll entrenched and because of
the utter Generalization among the
radicals, reaching from the left wing
independents to the small colony of
anarchists, led by Herr Rocker. who
returned recently from England.
where he was interned during the
war. In between are numerous boil
shevik party groups, all without suf-
flcient power effectively to put for
ward their supposed ideals. 1t is this
ragged party line up that encourages
the government in its belief that the
German bolsheviki no longer are able
to put up a united front.
