Just as increasingly is carried in the capitals of the

"a. As you know. We were sent
by Rittmeister Haspel 10 the
village Of Strynkovo In order TO
watch the Russian civilians dur
Ing the harvest. Suddenly we
were surrounded by the Red
Army and captured. SIX of IN
who resisted were killed but we
surrendered.
I'm the first hours we were
afraid we'd he shot. but these
fears proved unfounded. At the
present time we're In . tenn
porary camp with many other
German prisoners. We're well
treated and well fed. We also
get smokes. We ask the COM
rades of our squadron 10 spread
the word that we're healthy,
cheerful and In good condition.
Our home addresses follow; ="
The pamphlet carries complete
names and addresses of five i'm
prisoned squadron members and
also a photograph Of them eating
a meal in a Russian camp. A
printed postscript at the bottom
states that names Of German pris-
oners are never published with
out their consent. Another pamph-
let of greetings to the home
folks reproduces autographed
signatures and addresses OF more
than 80 German prisoners in their
own handwriting.
Nazi propaganda In Hitler's
army has built up such a fear
among the soldiers Of being exc
cuted as soon as they are cap
tured by the Russians that these
personal messages from German
prisoners provide the most effect
i've way to make Fritz scratch
his head and think again.
WARNED OF WINTER
Full advantage n also being
taken OF the German soldiers
pronounced fear Of the Russian
winter. BY leaflet and by loud
speaker he Is constantly being re-
minded that another Russian win
ter il just around the corner.
and Of what II inevitably means
to the unfortunate Invaders
How many more winters Will
Hitler keep you here To freeze 10
death ?" he Is asked.
On this front the Russians
loudspeakers must be a partieu-
lar thorn in the flesh Of the Mani
high command because what the
German soldiers hear. night after
night, is based especially upon
what German prisoners say and
reveal. German soldiers in Rus
STA don't know anything about
Allied bombing raids on Germany
or the recent American bombing
visitation upon Lille. for instance.
But Germans IN Rzhev's front
lines get all such news very spe-
officially In their own language.
Any number Of German prison
ers have also admitted their un-
easiness over the fact that their
officers promised them that the
Nazis would capture stalingrad
early In September. The German
officers said that the war In Rus
STA would then be over. So the
Russians Ioudspeaksr says:
your own officers told you
your troops would capture sta
lingrad five weeks ago. But
you've lost scores Of thousands
Of men and you've stiii not
taken staiingrad. Why: How
many more winters do you want
70 spend In the trenches In Rus
sia.S
In this fashion the Russian
propaganda war Ia waged al
along the front and as increasingly
as the war Of shells and bombs
This is one Of the few places on
earth where the Germans have
any contact with the outside
world and this is one contact that
Hitler cannot shut off 90 long as
the war goes on The Red Army

liar onuortrluity.

is typical. He says:
Dear Oskar Hubert: We are
glad you are well. Yes, we had
heavy blow on the nights of
9th. 2sth and goth. If you were
here you would admit that you
had never seen anything like II.
The beautiful Alster pavilion was
completely burned down and sew
eral squares were badly hit. The
number of dead reached $40 per-
sons and about 1000 were in
jured. Near our neighborhood 500
bombs fell"
Although tens of thousands of
leaflets like Die Wahrheit are
scattered over German positions
by Russian planes, the Red Army
has a great variety of methods
for making sure that they reach
German hands.
TOSSED IN TRENCHES
At night Russian soldiers often
carry packages of pamphlets
across no mans land and toss
them into enemy trenches. Where
the lines are close, the leaflets
and news sheets are sometimes
shot from slingshots or are tied
to toy balloons put adrift when
the wind is in the right direction.
Then riflemen punctHe the bal
looms when they are above the
Nazi positions.
In some places, the Volga's
current will carry leaflets in the
shape of paper boats across TO
the German shore. Then there are
certain places between the lines
where the Germans reconnoiter
every night, so the Russian
pamphlets are deposited for Fritz
to pick up-and often letters
written by German prisoners TO
their families are posted" in this
fashion. In all these ways direct
approach to the German soldiers
is maintained.
II is a feature of the Russians
Cerman-language leaflets tn /
they are extremely personal They
contain a great many messages
from German prisoners and they
are usually addressed 10 specific
regiments, battalions or divisions
instead of being addressed 10 any
German soldier anywhere. A good
example is the following pamph-
let:

Found Chained

SCOTTDALE, Ga. July 81
(P)-Three small children were
given sanctuary in juvenile
detention home today after po-
lice chief J. T. Daley said they
were found in the shadeleSS
backyard of their home with a
3O-foot log chain padlocked
around their necks as parental
punishment for taking 80 or %
cents"
The police chief quoted the
father, Archer r. Burney, as
saying:
IL don't like to keep son whip
ping them so this is the method
l used to punish them. One of
them took 20 or 25 cents from
a purse / used to keep old coins
in. None of them would admit
who did it so l chained them
up until one would confess"
Burney, and his wife, along
with a 16-year-old son, A. d.
Burney, were charged with
cruelty and jailed under bond of
$4,000 each, Chief Daley said.
The charge against the younger
Burney arose from complaints
of neighbors that he had previ-
ously locked the children In a
garage.
The police chief added that
the children, Adolph, 8, Flour
ney, 10, and Marguerite, IL,
showed indications of having
been beaten with a heavy strap
before being chained.
Officers said the 15a pound
chain was locked around the
childrens necks with ordinary
locks-similar to those used on
garage doors. Burney had the
keys to the locks in his pocket
when arrested.
The older son, Chief Daley
said, admitted locking the chill
dren in the garage for day-long
periods without food on several
occasions at his fathers instruc-
tons. The father, the chief de-
clared, said he chained the chill
dren because IL was just trying

"ONE FOR THE POT"

/. Measure carefully amount

tea and one cup of boiling water
should be used for each cup Of

as this is the chief cause OF
waste.
2. It's customary with many
tea drinkers to put in an extra
teaspoon Of tea for the pot. AS
a special wartime measure, this
can be eliminated without seri-
ously impairing the brew. Each
teaspoon of tea thus saved means
another cup another day

Water not brought to the boiling

causes of waste. II must be boil

full flavor.
4. Brew the tea for at least
8 minutes before pouring. If q
weaker brew is desired, 3 min
utes is usually sufficient. Don't
be impatient, however, since tho
full flavor of the tea will not be
released unless il is given suffi'
