PEOPLE
THANKFUL THAT
WAR WAS
ATTENDED PEACE CONFERENCE
THS GIVES
ENDED
This Fact Is Made Known by
- Sergeant f4uttray of This City,
Who Acted as Translator.
PRISONERS APPRECIATIVE
Treatment Which Captured Men
Received Alluded to in High
Terms in Letters Sent Home.
The German people were thankful
for the armistice. , They were dissat
isfied with the emrire.
.German prisoner of war appre
: elated the treatment they received
from their American captors.
These facte are made evident by let
ter ftent end received by Oerman. "pris
oners of war after the signing of the
"armistice and brought -back to the
- TTnUd States. In translation, by Ser
geant John F, Muttray, a Portland boy
who "was .Interpreter for the American
committee on public Information at the
peace conference, and before' that, in
rharfr of German prisoners' mail for
the prisoner of war information bureau
or the A. jo. jr. , .
.' "Mxnk nod. the war is ended at
last." writes a nflsoner to his parents.
It hat lasted long enough. Now
nuf aaaif Germany is a republic, X have
really nothing against that.
PEACE TERMS EAIB
' "Only the kaiser should have ab
dtetated ion ago. Perhaps you stlU
remember, my dear father, what I wrote
i- About Verdun in 1911. I did
nttt trlah to sacrifice myself to the
ambition of the crown prince. It is
horrible that so many people were
compelled to die. our present govern-
ment.will. I -hope, strive to get for us
a. lasting peace."
- "Our enemies are exacting conditions,
; hut with iustice writes a German
mother to her on. "We have been
itftfi tn - and cheated for four and a
hair venrs. The ftullty ones have fled
and we poor people have to suffer the
consequences.", She complains or pov
ertr and disorder in Germany, but all
would be bearable' "if we may have you
back with us."
"The murder of people is at last at
an end." writes enotner prisoner
'Meh who have had nothing against
each other were compelled to slaughter
one another. An Aherucab- pastor to
dav delivered a very touching sermon
on this subject. Many a tet eye could
be seen among our comrades. If
X were not married I would go right
iwav to America."
' An amusing German -view of PresW
: dent "Wilson is shown in the following
letter to a prisoner from hie uncle in
Cheimnlts: -
XJEBMAIf VIEW Of WILSOJf
"Even though I acknowledge that
Wilson is a notable man, I have but one
' great wish, and that is t write hinv-a
letter -explaining the wrong Impressions
under which he is laboring In dealing
with the actions of the German people.
This gentleman has received from his
advisors an entirely false view of Ger
'. many, her desires and intentions. Every
-German says to the other: 'My God,
hotf this man will, wonder when he
finally learns the truth.' One.
! should show this letter to him. Would
1 he read It It is told here that he never
reads foreign newspapers.' never re
ceived a letter which did not praise
- him, would not allow-any good advice
- to be given him, but always believed
. that he could do the right thing. Such
" a thing I can hardly expect of a man
of education, for in that case he would
, not be suitable as a judge. Dear-God,
aive him the light of truth."
- Hardly less interesting is an account
of the life of the German - prisoners,
-written bv on of their number:
( .''Everybody up.' is heard in a clear
- -voice on our- floor and the reveille bell
3s rung. I awake. My bed, a
wonderful wooden bunk, with a. clean
white " straw sack, as- well as . three
v - BDlendid lars-e blankets, is my pride.
. raise my blankets and look to the right
and to the left. My neighbor, A on
; year soldier from Dusseldorf, is , still
snoring in his sleep of the Just
wake him up.
CALLS ANOTHER FBIEUD
"My second friend, who occupies the
- bunk above me, is still asleep. Hello.
' I call to him. and wet his eyes-with
little water. He is startled. I
shake my bed sack, arrange my blank
'ets. end wash myself. Someone is call
tng 'Line up for mess.' Oh, how the
tnessklts rattle, for the beautiful Amer
lean things are like aluminum and
make an agreeable sound. Now we go
to the kitchen where we get warm soup
"with coffee and bread. Oh, what a
' lovely smell ! "
- Sergeant Muttray, who translated all
these interesting letters, was formerly

-the office of the Port of Portland. He
came here in 1911.
, He enlisted voluntarily, in spite of

yesterday - morning. The educator has
learned the absurdity of old' fashioned
notions about courtesy to women.
Treat em rough" Is the order of the
day which has dawned with the home
coming of Director Thomas.
A young woman, a reporter on The
Journal staff, chanced to find Director
Thomas tn the office of School , Super
intendent -Grout and asked him cour
teously whether he had filed bis re
port of the expenses of his trip. - "It's
none of your business, replied Direc
tor Thomas with heat.
: Ha was ramtnded that he had stated
at the school board meeting Thursday
evening that the expense account would
be filed Friday. , "That don't make
any difference." roared Director Thorn
as, adding that he was '.'through with i
The Journal" and didn't ever want the
reporter "to ask htm anything again."
" Grasping her courage In both hands
the young woman asked whether he
did not intend to file the expense
account a promised. Jumping from
his chair Director Thomas shouted
that she was an "Infernal little liar,"
and ordered her to "get out of the
office.' He added that if she "didn't
quit coming around the office" he
would see that she "wouldn't be a rep
resentative of The Journal any longer."
School Superintendent Grout, who
was present durjsg the Interview, un
doubtedly acquired, much beneficial ex
perience which will serve to rulde him
in dealing with the women who teach
in Portland's schools.
