HUN PRISONER SAYS YANKS
FIGHT LIKE WELL-FED MEN
London, Aug. 2. Fighting of the
most bitter nature marked the Amer
ican advance east and southeast of
Sergy on Thursday, says Reuters
correspondent on the American front
Bellevue farm, north of Cierges, was
the German strong point, and their
gun nests about it were concealed
cleverly in the ripening wheat. The

correspondent says: "Two divisions
opposed to the Americans were the
Two Hundredth Jaeger division,
which seemed to be composed of
stout fellows from the various Ger
man states, and the Two Hundred
and Sixteenth, which was brought
from Kemmel front in Flanders.
They did not appear to be such good
material as the other divisions. One
youngster of 19 said he had been a
year in service, but that this was
his first fight.- He avowed with,
tears that he did not like it. Other
prisoners, being asked why the
Americans were beating them, re
plied: "The Americans have good food,
in their stomachs, while the Ger
mans only have poor stuff that no
one could fight upon.
"Not far from this front, a some
what pathetic group was found.
There were five Germans and an
officer on one side and four Ameri
cans on the . other. It had been a
fight to the finish, and the last
American to survive had thrust hb
bayonet downward into the earth to
signify that he was the last one to
see it through."
YANKEE PRISONERS
"WELCOME GUESTS,"
HUN PAPER STATES
Amsterdam, Aug. 2. Referring to
the projected exchange of Ameri
can and German prisoners of war,
the Weser Zeitung of Brennan makes
the sinister remarks:
"We are able to contain our Joy.
American prisons are welcome
guests for whom we have sufficient
employment on the 'eastern labor
market and in our agricultural en
terprises behind the front. They may
be sure of getting, with Teutonic
punctuality, all they are entitled to
under The Hague convention and
more if they prove good workers al
though they must thank Anglo
American starvation measures if
their diet falls below the home flesh
pots." The newspaper continues:
"It will do the Americans a pow
erful lot of good to acquaint them
selves with kultur for the fountain
head." The newspaper urges that
full coupter value be expected, and
above all. that civilians like Carl
Buenz, the general representative of
the Hamburg-American Steamship
company at New York who is now
serving an eighteen month sentence
in the United States prison at At
lanta, Ga., for conspiring to defraud
the United States government, should
be the first to be released. It is
added that the staff which served
under Buenz in New York should
be included in this category.
