Official dispatches were still de

be gauged. It was regarded as prob

general operations were hampered
when someone in an American uni

was not necessary and that there

Thi-5 was probably a German in
some captured American's uniform.
The unit was advised to kill any
one suggesting surrender and all
American troops are following the
same plan. This means it will go
hard with any German propagandist
attempting to injure the morale of
our soldiers in battle. German pris

American propaganda which is
thrown into their trenches.
