GERMANS IN FRANCE
iN DESPAIR WHEN ORDERED TO RUSSIA. A REFUGEE’S STORY. “I was in France when the news of the entry of the United States into the war became known. The effect was extraordinary. Everyone remembered the last war when the Americans helped us to win.”—The refugee from France who told the foregoihg said that many Germans in France begin to think they are going to lose the war. He more than once saw German soldiers in teal’s when they received orders - to return td Germany before being sent to the Russian front. Some soldiers he declared had committed suicide.
“Frenchmen are suffering,” said this refug'ee, who was in France not long ago, “and they have not enough to eat. They see the German soldiers with far superior rations, who in fact- have no need of rations, lor they requisition whatever they take a fancy io.
“But the French believe in Allied victory, and when the day comes they will do everything to help.”
