 Huns Welcomed Armistice.
 In describing his experience in the Argonne, young Miller told of the delight with which the Germans learned of the signing of the armis- tice, and of his own good fortune in escaping with his life. "Men fell all about me-" he said. "My bunkie was shot in the neck and died the next day. I was picked up by the Ger man infantry, as the Germans had no Red Cross. we did not receive treatment at the first aid station, as the Germans were too busy caring for their own wounded. It was the next day before the American wounds received any attention" Miller said that the Germans were so disgusted and disheartened. they admitted that if the war had continued longer, the Americans would soon have driven through to Berlin.
