These Included a double necklace, of pearls, which Kahn said had once belonged to the Csarlna and had been "picked up at a bargain as an In vestment," Kahn wanted the baroness to declare that these costly gemr were her own propertylntended for personal wear., but the Maybells refused on conscientious grounds, notwithstanding Kahn re minded them they had promised the American diplomat In Petrograd to do so. On arrival of the ship ,the baron related all the circumstances to the customs officials and the fcerles of arrests followed. Jt has been learned that as long ago is laot November Kahn sent a collection of oil paintings to America by a man named Macbeth. The collection was seized by customs officials.

He W their officers told colonel. Two of his men the other day,i,hem the Americans couldn't tight, while exploring over in the German po-j , ... . . sltlons, cane on a big dugout with two I "?? we kn8w J can fl'ht he " entrances. One American with baybnet'Pulnea- on his rifle took a position at one en-1 trance, while Into the other his com rade threw hand grenades. As the Ger mans came out of the other entrance the first American got them. The sys tem was working One, when the hand grenades gave out. The American grabbed a flame projector from a pass ing Frenchman and sent a ho,t message I thereupon the officers shot and killed to the remaining Germans, who came both his parents. It seems hard to be out quickly. These two accounted forlleve such stupidity, but we have seen forty-seven Germans, so the story goes. , enough boche treatment of human beings Another story had to do with a young j to believe any story of atrocities on the corporal who alone came on a oocne dugout. Calling to the inmates to come out, he threw In two hand grenades. Eight Germans, with hands up, above their heads, walked out. A few moments' later the corporal said to his captain: "I beg to report, sir, with eight prisoners." Then this lad told his commander It was a big dugout and he believed more Germans were there, and he asked for more men to help him get them. He got permission, and started over again, when a German 50 millimeter shell blew him Into pieces. The Germans held positions on this sector on an elastic line that has no continuous trench defense but dugouts' every 1B0 yards. " A sergeant at a listening 'post the,' other daV could hear no Germans mov ing. Taking two doughboys with him, he went forward and found twenty Ger mans with rifles stacked outside, asleep ln a dugout with their guard-also asleep. . Dispatching the guard with a bayonet, they called' on the twenty to surrender. When several Germans started toward the sergeant he threw In two hand grenades.- He and his men brought back five of the bodies as prisoners. The rest were killed. On'the way back a Ger man machine gunner.had .his gun -trained on the sergeant's party, when an, American .sniper 'got the boche through the head. These are samples of how the Amer icans keep the Germans busy In their sector. "Maektnake Division" A raptured German officer told an American general that the Germans have named one American division the Blacksnake Division." He alleged he meant that the Americans went crawl ing about No Man's Land all night and were a pest to the Germans. I have been talking with many dough boys, who despite some losses are in the highest spirits. A dozen of them ex pressed this thought: "The marines did wonderfully and you correspondents are right to boost them to the folks back home. But please don't forget us when our turn comes." "Can the enemy get through you If he comes this way?" I asked. "He can like hell," was the fervent reply. That Is the spirit of the American who has fought the German. He believes lie is a better fighting man than the German soldier, and he is. An instance of German acts that do much to damage the Americans' Innate spirit of fair play occurred today while I was at a headquarters here, A French airplane was approaching, flying low. Nothing was thought of It, until a moment later a file of American soldiers on their waV to relief at the front was raked byi machine-gun Are from the airplanes. A minute Jater four bombs werf dropped. It was. of course, a boche flying .in a captured plane or a boche plane dis guised as French. Because of the sur prise of the attack, the German flier got, away before the French aviator could catch him. Americans Get 1000 Germans The American forces on th Marne front have been straightening out their line following the capture of the Bols da Belleau. They brought In additional prisoners yesterday, making the total number of Germans captured by Ameri cana ln this section during the last week approximately 1000. It is impossible to picture the enthusiasm of the French people in the village through which prisoners of the Americans were taken. Word .was passed from mouth to mouth that the passing Germans had been cap tured by our soldiers, and on all sdes ope heard cheers for "les bons Ameri cans," The great majority of prisoners taken by our men are very young, most of them being about nineteen, I never saw happier lot of them than the 300 boches captured in the Bols de Belleau. They said 'their officers had told them to fight to' the death, because President Wilson had ordered the Americans to take no prisoners and to shoot all Germans. The doughhoys, instead of shooting the boche, zav him cigarettes and fed him well. There Is a marked difference in the attitude of German privates and Ger man pmcers.

I was present when three German officers were belnr questioned. An American ofneer said It; them: "You know, we Americans are not fighting the German people; we are fighting the German Government." Instantly the three officers said In unison: , "Das 1st elnes." One of these offleers before the war had been a school teacher. - -... ...m u .-r Lent The manner In which the German regl- ments have been cut up Is shown by' the f,ct that 'among the members of one company were men rearing uniforms of lx "glments.

He ssid last fall recruiting officers went to his home after him when his mother said he was not nine teen, but eighteen. Then he said his father objected, when the German offi cers told his mother she was lying. part of German officers. Although many men concurred In saying tha officers told them the Ameri cans took no prisoners, the Interesting fact Is that two letters from German mothers' were found on them, advising them to be captured by Americans, which would be better than throwing away their lives vainly lighting to the death for the Kaiser. The captured men were very glad to find that their mothers were right. All the captured men seemed obsessed with the Idea that the war would end. this year. The idea evidently has been well drilled into them by their officers. Get.fleriaan Artillery The fourdays' victorious fight for possession of the Important Bols de Bel leati, northwest of Chateau-Thierry, re sulted ln the capture, besides the pris oners mentioned, of two German field guns 77's and thirty machine .guns, besides some small mortars. This was the first capture of artillery of the Ger mana'by Americans, 1 believe that when the history' of the war Is written the American capture of the BoUxie, Belleau will' be ranked, among the neatest pieces of military work' of the conflict. Five 'dsVs.jise. after .the -capture of the town pf 'Boiiresches, the" Americans' Bols de Belleau from the Germans. In the rush at Bouresches they had been unable to secure the rocky strongholds In the woods and passed on. leaving many nests of machine guns there, which afterward kept, up a harassing fire. The Americans several timer made big raids Into the woods, clearing out part of the Germans, but the next day the Germans would reappear with a harassing fire. Despite strong artillery work, the Germans seemed able to stay there. On, Sunday a tain of extra heavy artillery fire began on the woods. Ttjls was kept up all Sunday night and Mon day, On Monday night the fire was re doubled and the "woods literally braked with lines of shell ftre. At about 3 o'clock Monday morning the marines started, as soon as the artillery- Are was stopped, to go through those woods. At the nearer edge of the woods, devastated by our shelf fin?, they encountered little opposition. A little further on the Germans made a small stand, but were completely routed ; that is, those who were not killed. -By this time the marines were fairly started on their way. They swept forward, clearing out machine-gun- nests with rifle fire, bayonets and hand serenades. Turned Guns on Boehes The Germans started In headlong flight when the Americans seized two mschlne guns and turned them on their opponents with terrific effect. The Ger mans soon tired of this, and those near est the Americans began, surrendering. In the meanwhile the marines kept up the chase.

There had been 1300 Germans In the woods, -With the exception of the prisoners nearly all the rest were slain. The prisoners said they were glad of the chance to surrender and get out of the woods, because the American' artillerv fire for three days had cut off their food and other supplies, and they had lived In U hell on earth. The Ger mans seemed deeply Impressed by the fury of the American attackl One of the captured officers, when asked what he thought of the Americana as fighters, answered that the artillery was crazy and the Infantry drunk. A little boche private, taking up his master's thought, pointed to three tousled but smiling marines, and said! , "Vln rouge, Vln blanc beaucoup vln." He meant, he thought the Americans must be Intoxicated to fight as they'dtd for that wood. Our boys took special delight In cor ralling the machine guns. Thtso gun's had been very well placed behind trees and In rocky caves and well supplied with ammunition. The Americans had nractlctd on a German machine gun pre viously captured, and knew just' how to1 use them against the "Helnes." The captured guns were cleverly camou flaged and were almost overlooked by the Americans. The mortars had been used to throw gas shells from the'helghts Into) the woods upon the Americans. Lew Msrale Surprises American There was the greatest surprlso among American officers at the evident low morale among members of the Fifth Guard division, thought to be one of the Kaiser's very best. The Germans had tried their best to get the Americans out of,the wood and to hold the valuable position. They had sent attack after attack there, always falling to gain complete free possession, but making things very unpleasant for our men. It was after four days of this that the marines got on their hind legs and went after the boches. An American general tonight charac terized the capture of the .Bols de Bel leau wood as the most Important thing the Americans at the front had yet ac complished'. Its possession straighten, our line, taking away from the German his protected wedge Into our positions and gives an excellent starting point for- runner operations. U. S. AVIATORS BOMB ...
