' FRENCH FRONT, Jan. 10.—German
soldiers from some of the towns of
Prussia are sent to the front under
armed guards "as criminals are led
to the executioner,” says a letter
found on a dead German soldier, who
was killed in a recent battle on the
French front. The writer had given
vivid description of the scene at
the departure of a detachment of re
inforcements from Saarloulse, a town
In Rhenish Prussia. The recruits
were intended to fill the gaps in a
battalion which had suffered heavy
losses. The writer says:
1 "The firBt battalion 1b ordered to
furnish a reinforcing detachment of
' 3ft men. To escort them to the Saar
louis station 300 men have been or
'dered tout, some of them with arms
iu march alongside the men going off
and others (o act as pickets on the
way to the station. The men were
all ready In the afternoon and hud to
wait some time for another squad of
comrades from the 1st company of
■convalescents, who eventually arrived.
“What a scene! Ahead marched a
squad of guards nnd to right and left
of each file two armed guards, while
another squad of guards brought up
the rear to guard these German sol
diers—our brave soldiers in field
gray who, according to the ntagnifi
cently phrased stories of the news
papers, dash forward full of joy and
sustained by love of Fatherland to
.destroy our enemies.
"The detachment moved off. with
a hand playing a inarch. The guards
were so numerous that there was one
for every two men of the departing
detachment. Is It not a scandal that
our children In field-gray should be
led to war to fight and shed their
blood tn the name was as criminals
are led to the executioner or, still
worse, like cattle to the slaughter
house? It was not sufficient that for
fcours beforehand—In fact from the
moment of the announcement of the
departure of the detachment—even
soldiers who did not belong to It were
prevented from going Into the town
by sentinels posted every five yards
No, It was considered necessary to
submit the men to the shame ol
marching to the depot under guard.
"Do not the magnificent mendacious
articles In our papers represent In a
false light our brave boys In field
gray going to fight and destroy ths
enemy for the love of the fatherland,
while such things as these are hap
pening? Verily It is a voluntary sacrt
flee!”

LONDON, Jan 10.—Another proof of
the German disregard of promises and
agreements has been furnished in the
British advance toward Cambrai.
Some time ago Germany signed a sol
emn agreement with Great Britain
providing that no prisoners of war
would be employed within 19 miles of
I he front line. But two Russian pris
oners were found by the British in
German dugout at Anneux, which was
barely four miles from the Hues as
they lay at the opening of the Cam
brai attack. Moreover, these Russians
had seen a party of 300 to 400 British
prisoners at work near Cambrai,
about eight miles from the old front
lines.
The Russians told a pitiful story of
ill treatment and suffering. They had
to subsist, under German regulations,
on half-a-pound of bread and some
grass soup daily. As punishment for^
minor offenses they were strung up,
to poles with their feet just touching
the ground, Men were bayonet'.ed or
shot for refusal or inability to work, I
until, from one cause or another, only
260 men remained out of a camp of
500 prisoners.

BERNE, Switzerland, Jan. 10.—Des
cribing the battle of Oamhrai to Ger
man readers, Lieutenant-General von
Ardenne in the Tageblatt says:"Those
who fought In the battla describe the
imposing impression Aside by the
British tanks which focetfed the at
tack on the widest front As they ad- j
ranced in masses, with very small in-'
tervals between them, they remind
ed one of Hannibafs battle elephantsj
or the sickle chariots of Pharoah. The
booming, rumbling attack was ac"Oin-1
ponied or rather supported front the
air by a veritable cloud of battle air
craft, while closely pressed masses
of infantry and field artillery follow
ed the iron wall, three cavalry divis
ions bringing up the rear.”

MANfiw\, Jan. 10.—Reformation of
the Philippine currency system is pro
vided for In a currency bill passed by
the Philippine house and which seems
certain of passage by the senate. Ct
must be submitted to the president for
final approval. It proposses to re
duce the weight of the bullion in Phil
ippine currency to the standard of
the United States, thus avoiding the
danger which menaced the Islands re
cently when the value of the actual
silver In the peso reached 20 per cent
j above the nominal value while the
bullion value of subsidiary silver coins
was dangerously near the face value.
The bill also provides for the issue
by the government of paper notes of
the value of one peso. The lowest
denomination bill heretofore Issued
by the government is of two pesos.
