HOLLYWOOD-A- CT writes
a letter:
Dear ErSkine:
The hottest spot in Paris for
the American CTS, and, for that
matter, all of the Allies, is the
Paris Canteen which opened eX-
actly a month ago. Officially the
place is called the Cabaret des
Troupes Ailiees. II is the for
mer Cafe Tyrol, on the Champs
Elysees.
AS the Cafe Tyrol, it had been
one of the favorite hangout of
the German brass hats during
their occupation of Paris. 1t had
been decorated to look like the
infamous Munich beer house
from which the Hitler gangsters
sprang.
None of that bunch of rats
would recognize the place now.
A famed French artist, Paul
Colin, redecorated the cafe COM
pletely TO eradicate all traces of
German Influence and the Tyrol-
can motif.
Although the Canteen has
been going for only 80 days,
enough incidents, dramatic, COM
ic and human, already have hap
pened to fill several books. Pro-
Queer Sol Lesser should have a
cinch filming his movie, Paris

opened when painters were
sloshing their brushes all over
the place, carpenters banging
away at the walls and supports.

obvious.

CODDLIkG PRISONERS

Althouqh many Of the stories now IN circulation
are folse il seems TO be true thot we ore treotn9
captured Germans with gentle consideration that
is in noorked contrast with the way the Nozs have
treated many OF our men.
In @ series of news column articles from NtA
Service it wos reported how German prisoners ore
treoted and fed at Fort Devens Mass, where it would
oppeor thot they are particularly we'll contented;
and the special situation that controls volunteers IN
Italian Service Units wos explained.
Provost Marshal General Lerch offers three or
oun1ents in justification Of the excellent core we
give to these prsoners
First he soys thot International Red Cross agents
report thot, up to the time the Reich began falling
oport under General Esenhower's blows the Nozls
were living up to their Geneva Convention obligations
toward Americans and Britishers, however cruelty
they treated other notionoites.
Second, he soys that word Of our kindness toward
prisoners, reached German troops, coused them to
surrender more readily and thus saved Allied lives.
And finally, he points out that the Geneva Con-
vention is the supreme law Of the land and until
it is amended he is dutybound to administer it un-
woverinely.
There seems to be very strong evidence that the
Nozis in many instances at eost not living up
crossed the Rhine - that, in many coses, our men
we're not getting either the food or the treatment
that General Lerch was told they were getting.
On the other hand, there is evidence that, up to
recently OF least, could have been considerably
more strict with prisonersofwor without offend
ina the Geneva Convention and still have made cop
tivity more ottroctive than beeerency to any Ger
man but q robd porty-mon.
But while American prisoners in Germany did not
get full benefit Of Geneva Convention rights it seems
that they really fed BETTER treated better, in
general, than any prisoners except perhaps Brtons
There is evidence that surrender propaganda
