10 HUN LEADERS ARE I EAGER TO LEARN AROUT U.S. ARMY Teuton Soldiers Instructed to j Obtain All Possible Infor- ; mation About Sammees By Associated I'ress With the American Army In Prani'r, Sunday, March 31.—German j urmy leaders are exceedingly anx- ' ions to obtain information concerning j the most minute details of the Amer- I ican Army. This is disclosed by a j captured German document issued to ] the Fifth Bavarian Eandwehr infan- j try brigade and which instructs ev- 1 cry observer and patrol to do his or its best "to bring in information j aboui the new enemy." The results | obtained are to be added to official i reports. The captured document starts out : fcy giving details that are known, j such as those regarding the Amer- j ican uniform, and adds that the In- j fantry is equipped partly with En*- j lish rifles and that the artillery I l.tobably ha's French guns. It says American troops still continue train ing in France, adding: Nothing Known of Method* "Nothing is known as yet about 'he methods of fighting or leader ship." "From the preceding meager de tails," it continues, "it is evident that sectors K and M have the honorable task of obtaining as much informa tion as possible on particular fea tures of American fighting and out post tactics. This will then be used for extending the information bulle tin. Any observation or identifica tion. however insignificant, may be of the greatest value in connection with the information at hand." Attention then is drawn to "self evident questions." which observers, patrols and outposts are expected to find answers for. Under the heading. "The Enemy's Security," the docu- ( ment says: "Are sentry posts sentry posts or j stronger posts? Further advanced ! rcconnoitering patrols? Manner of challenging? Behavior on post dur ing day and night? Vigilance? Am bush tactics and cunning? "Do they Rlioot and signal on ev ery occasion? Do the posts hold their ground on the approach of a patrol or do they Jail back? Do they give barrage fire signals? When are the reliefs and what is the behavior during them? Have they any light signals other than French ones?" "Kiiemy Patrols'' Under "Enemy Patrols." the docu ment asks details on 'strength, methods' of advance, behavior on meeting and initiative." These ques tions come under information on gen eral behavior: "Are the Americans careful and cautlousV Are they careful or noisy? What Is their behavior during smoke | tcreens? What is their behavior at j meal times? When are these? Can j concentration be observed? Is there j much reconnoitering? How is the j behavior day and night? Is there j much gun firing? If there is more ' or less transport of material than I formerly?" The Germans also want to know I whether during reliefs there are ; more troops In the rear than is cus- | ternary with the French and what are the times and sounds of reliefs, l! is said that used Infantry and ma chine gun bullets, unexploded shells nnd shell splinters are of special val ine. The Germans want to know whether the copper rotating bands have sharp Incisions, indicating new or worn-out guns, the caliber of 1 which can be determined by the curvature of the splinter, according to the document. Wlile Information ltenlrcil Information regarding the color and outside appearance of projectiles fired by the Americans also Is de sired. The German soldiers are or dered to keep fuses, splinters of shells and shell bases having factory initials and numbers. Under the heading, "Enemy Shelling," they are asked the American peculiarities compared with the French, what ob jectives are preferred and whether dugouts are shelled. The document asks also that it be determined 1 whether the Americans employ bursts j of fire or single shots at fixed In- ] tervals and what Is the normal firing jate when observation Is good. Many of the above Items while ap parently trivial, it is pointed out by intelligence officers. Indicate why the censorship has been oblged to delete certain matter from press dis patches. Since the captured docu ment was Issued the Germans nat -1:rally have found answers to many of the questions, but about the others the American expeditionary force be lieves It Htill has the enemy guess ing. Vienna Paper Prints Real Facts About Hun Entrance Into the War l.omlon, April I.—The cold, hard, unpalatable truth was ever as pain fully Inimical to the Hun as salt to tile slug. Here Maximilian Harden. A on Gerlacli and Dr. Naumann have tried again and again to drive home to the Teutonic mind some elemen tary facts, but their missionary ef torts have not penetrated beyond their own' special circles. The Arbeiter Zettung, of Vienna, the only Germanic journal which neither Kaiser Wlllielm nor Kaiser Karl can kill, publishes an article on the real cause of the world war which must be gall and wormwood to the fire-eaters of Hunland. "It Is a fatal mistake," it says, "to suppose that it was commercial envy that caused 'Kngland to place herself in opposition to Germany. Indeed, Kngland at first tried most • rergetlcally to conclude a compact with Germany. "It was only when Germany coldly declined all Kpgllsh approaches, when (iermany constantly added to her gi gantic fleet, when a wild nationalism was Inflaming German civilians into n hatred of Kngland and plunging tliem Into the most extravagant to lessen the pressure on French.

AMERICANS WILL HELP FRENCH AND ENGLISH TO STEM GERMAN DRIVE Paris, April I.—"The French gov- , ernment has decided to accede to the desire expressed by General Per shing in the name of the United States Government." says an official note issued Saturday, dealing with the operation of American troops with the French and British. "The American 'troops will fight sine by side with the Britisn and French troops, and the Star Span gled Banner will float beside the French and English flags in the plains of Picardy." With the American Army in Franco, March 30 (delayed).—By The Asso ciated Press.—All the American troops have been turned over to the allies for such use as they see fit to make of them. American troops may soon be fighting side by side with their British and JFrench allies in BRITISH AND FRENCH HOLD HORDES OF ENEMY AS FIERCE FIGHT WAGES By Associated Press Paris, April I.—The battle con tinued with extreme violence last night in the sector north of Mont didier, large bodies of troops being thrown in by the Germans, the war office announces. The French anil British troops broke up tlio assault ing waves. Further south the fighting was no less violent, the Germans making incessant attacks in an effort to cap ture Griveshes. The French retained possession of the town and inflicted heavy losses 011 the Germans. The statement follows: "Yesterday and last night the bat tle continued with extreme violence north of Montdidier.

March 31. —King George, , on returning to London from his visit to the battle front, sent a mes sage to Field Marshal Haig, in which I he said: "Though for the moment our i troops have been obliged by sheer | weight of numbers to give some ground, the impression left on my | mind is' that no army could be in better heart, braver and more con- \ fident than that which you have the! honor to command." HUNS FEVERISHLY ENTRENCH AS THE ALLIED PRESSURE GROWS [Continued from First Page.] crushed by the French who wiped out an .enemy force which tried to establish a bridgehead on the southern back of the river. North of the Sommc where the Germans were thrown back with severe losses by the British Saturday the enemy made no further attempts Sunday and the fighting activity has been moderate. An April Fool Joke If Field Marshal Von Hindenburg intended to spend April 1 in Paris he must have meant some other year than 1918. His troops are still more than 50 miles from the French capital and in eleven days of fighting and under tremendous losses they have not even reached the Paris-Amiens railway, tlie principal route from Northern France to Paris. Indeed they are getting ready to defend themselves against the Anglo-Franco America forces under General Focli. The boastful utterances of the German leaders much in evidence in the early days of the present campaign also have ceased. In north Italy the artillery firing is increasing "in intensity and a large scale- American patrols continue active northwest of Toul. •The German lines arc under bombardment.

The Daily Telegraph says: "In conferring this authority the allied governments have come at length to what from a purely mili tary standpoint is the incontestably right thing." The Daily Xews declared Premier Lloyd George's 'statement on the ap pointment puts an end to a contro versy which never should have been allowed to arise. The king recited how he hacl seen the units recently withdrawn from the front and the entraining of fresh troops, "eager to reinforce their comrades." He said he hail listened with wonder as officers and men had narrated their incidents of the stubborn fighting. The king also told of a visit to a casualty clear ing station where "the patient cheer fulness of the wounded was equaled only by the care and gentleness of those administering to their wants."
