AMERICANBOYS
ON EXHIBITION
IN HUNTOWNS
COBLENZ, Feb. 15 (by mail).—How
it teels to be exhibited in Germany
will be told when Joseph Brown and
Charles Knowlton, both ot the 165th
infantry, get back to New York, where
they lived before the war.
Both have rejoined their reglmenl
after imprisonment in Germany since
May 5, when a patrol they' were In
went out in search of Germans who
were needed for the information they
might give. The patrol got the Ger
mans but the German army got Brown
and Knowlton, and until a few days
ago the 165th infantry knew nothing
more about them. Both had come
through the German lines after the
armistice.
After the German intelligence of
ficer had despaired of getting from
them any accurate information about
the Americans both men were sent
out on a tour of Germany. In city
after city they were exhibited as speci
mens o£ the new enemy. To make
them appear as excellent examples ol
the weaklings the Germans had told
their people the Americans were, they
said they were half starved and other
wise brutally treated for a month oi
more, when they were thrown into an
ordinary prison camp, remaining there
until the end of the war.
HINTS OF DISAGREEMENT
AMONG HUN GENERALS
BERLIN, Feb. 16 (by mail).—Dis
cussing the silence of Field Marshal
Von Hindenburg in the face of per
sistent attacks on General Ludendorl
and the suspicion that he will throw
the quartermaster 'general overboard,
the Tagi Zeitung declares that it is
informed that the contrary is the case,
and that Marshal Von Hindenburg will
stand by General Ludendorf and all
the other men who were associated
with him in the conduct of the war
for Germany.
“In agreement with the field mar
shal,” the Tages Zeitung adds, “there
is now being prepared a memorandum
which will set forth all pertinent facts
.and illuminate the charges made
against General Ludendorf. Delay in
the publication of this document, how
ever, suggests that certain influences
are at work to prevent its issuance.”
MISCHIEF FOR
IDLE HANDS®
greater™
i
LONDON, Feb. 9 (Correspondence
of the Associated Press).—Crime has
been on the increase in England since
the signing of the armistice, and in
official quarters, particularly Scotland
Yard, it is attributed to a great extent
to soldiers on leave. It is the natural
result of idle hands, the officials say.
Attendants at centers where leave
men congregate seem to be of one
opinion as to why soldiers now com
mit petty crimes. They say the bear
ing of the soldiers has changed since
hostilities ended. When they obtained
a brief respite from the fighting they
still felt that they were engaged, still
had something to do and something
to think about. People who are at
Young Men’s Christian Association
and Red Cross centers say that now
there is no interest for the soldiers
at the front and li*le they can do in
the cities, as few have much money.
They are idle mentally and physically.
There has been a tendency to blame
overseas men for much of the crime,
not Americans, as comparatively few
of them are on leave in England, but
a Scotland Yard official has stated
that the English troops are as much
responsible as their colonlel brothers.
“I am afraid there will be little
abatement in the outbreak until de
mobilization has been considerably ad
vanced,” he said. “If In the meantime
the military authorities could devise
some scheme for keeping the men
more in the country districts and less
in the cities things might be better
than they are. City lounging invari
ably has a worse effect on a man than
country idling.”

EVIDENCE ACCUMULATES
OF BULGAR BRUTALITY
NISH, Serbia, Feb. 10 (by mail).—
Cumulative evidence has been given
the correspondent of the Associated
Press by many Serbian mayors or pre
fects of a studied attempt by Bulga
rians during their occupation of Serbia
to exterminate part of the civilian, pop
illation. *
In the town of Bela Planca the num
ber who fell victims to Bulgar massa
cres is placed by the chief of police
at three hundred. At the invitation
of this official the correspondent vis
ited the scene where many of these
murders were carried out. He saw
heaps of human bones, skulls and
fragments of clothing. No effort ap
parently had been made by the Bul
gars to give their victims burial, and
their bodies were left exposed to dogs
and wolves.
Among the Serbians killed here was
a 70-year-old monk.
The Bulgars posted a special guard
about the place of slaughter, which is
situated high on Lemon hill, and for
bade any Serbian going near it under
penalty of death.
