GERMAN PRISONER SHOOTS TWO ENEMY SNIPERS.
A German prisoner captured 'by the Americans on the Vesle front, says the Exchange correspondent with . the American armies, was shot at' and wounded by a German sniper, while helping to carry in, at his own request, American wounded. This so angered him that he took a captured German machine gun and fired on the positions of two German snipers, which he knew, and brought them both down. • - Later in hospital he told the correspondents that the Germans did not know the quantity and quality'of "the American troops. “But,” he said, “they will learn soon ,they will learn. If they knew what I have seen, they would quit now. They would surrender to get American food like I have had to-day.”
