GERMAN'S PREPARED FOR
GREATCARNIVALOf PILLAGE
HAD DRIVE SUCCEEDED
Orders to Pillage Were Issued
with Initial Sfccess On
West Foat
By Henry BVood
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
With the French Armies in the Field,
April 22, (By Mail). Declaration
made, by German prisoners-render it
quite apparent that if.tlte allied armies
had not checked the German advance
the world would have fcritne&acd one of
the most astounding campaigns of pil
lage the world has yet produced. So in
tent were the Germans on this form
of satisfying their lUst for conquest
that orders to- pillags were given as
soon as they resdhedj Noyon, despite
the fact that that village had been sack
ed to the last mouthful of food and the
last articta of value just a year ago.
Even the small amount of foodstuffs
and household' furniture which the iu
habitants, largely through the help of
various American charities, had beea
able to get together since Hindenburg 's
retreat in March, 1917, was not spared.
A typical declaration on this subject
of which many have been made by Ger
man prisoners, is the following one by a
soldier of the seventh. German -reserve
division. !
STEADY STREAM OF TROOPS
FROM AMERICAGOING ACROSS
British General Staff Officer
Tells of Help of United
States In War "
London, May 18. "A. steady stream
of American reinforceiueats Is flowing
into France faster and faster, swelling
tho allied reserves. The Germans pre
tend to belittle American aid, but we
do not think the German general staff
docs otherwise they would not have
hazardod their' e'.itire future on. this big
attack."
This statement, made to the United
Press by a representative of the British
general staff authoritatively represents
the views of that hody.-
"The Americans must buy their ex
perience, like everyone else," continued
the officer, "but they are good business
men and will buy it at the cheapest
market and sell it at the highest pries
to Geffnany. The Americans will make
good. They will never lot go until they
do.

Immense crowds cheered the pres
ident every step of the way from
Eightieth to Twenty-Third street,
where )io entered the reviewing stand.
He was far ahead of the Red Cross
parade by the time he reached the
stand.
President - Wilson motored to the
starting point of the procession and

quite unexpectedly. This proceeding
was not on the schedule, but the pres
ident 'hanged the plans at the last
minute sad determined to march with
the 75,000 men and women who are
aiding to launch the Red Cross drive
for $100,000,000.
There were 20,000 women in line, in
cluding 2,000 Bed Cross nurses. Forty
hands marched.
Among the prominent persons in line

"The moment we had passed St
Quentin, tlv pillage began," he said
"All of the abandoned houses were
ransacked aud entire stocks of provis
ions were carried away. In many places
old men and women still remained and
these pleaded that they not b allowed
to die of starvation. But the soldiers
pushed them back ana carried away
the silverwarebreaking everything that
could -not be taken awaywith them.
Clothing was torn from the bureaus
and wardrobes and tables and furniture
was smashed, while mirrors and pic
tures were snatched from the walls and
destroyed.
Ia the cellars and wine eaves, all the
wine that eoXild not be drunk, was pour
ed out on the ground.
"Captain Deterner, commanding on.3
of the battalions, gave the order to a
number of soldiers to go to Noyon for
the purpose of pillaging it. They return
ed with a huge amount of booty, includ
ing thousands of cigarettes and cigars,
marmalade, preserves, win.0, chocolate
butter, potatoes, handkerchiefs, soap
and many other things.
"Each soldier received for his share
twenty English cigarettes, 300 to 400

"During the past week in France a
series of minor operations have been in
our favor. Wherever Germans broke in
we drove them out. This is satisfactory
because the Germain are extraormnsrtijr
good at infiltrating, holding and improv
ing positions, due to the good twining
of their regimental oficers, subordinate)
and staff. ' . -.
"The airfighting 'tdstf hs resulted
satisfactorily to us. From May 9 to 15
seventy one German airplanes were
brought down, while only nineteen of
ours were missing. Our air situation it
infinitely better than last year,' and
was a considerable factor in halting the
first phafe of the German offensive;
"Tho Germans are now oiling up for
a real effort. The longer they wait the
more troops they can put in. If they
wait a little longer they can renew the
offensive on as big a scale as they be
gan it a fifty mile front. However,
the longer the Germans wait, the more
time it gives us to prepare.
"Regardless of the changes in ter
ritorial position, the situation will be
very anxious all this summer."
