GERMANS SEEK NEWS. Ask Russians When They Think War Will End. Petrograd, May 12.---An officer serving in East Prussia gives an in- teresting account of a recent Friend- ly talk between Russian and German soldiers during a three hours' armis- tice for the collection and burial of the dead who lay between the tren- ches. The Germans were glad to exchan- ge cigarettes and chocolate for bread and butter and sugar. They said they were kept very short of these and were often hungry. The Russian soldiers in their warm greatcoats pit- ied many of the German shivering in the bitter spring wind. The Germans were wearing different kinds of uni- forms. Some were well clad, while others were insufficiently protected and had no smartness left, while their self-arsurance was ail gone--a great change remarks am officer, from the attitude even of the prison- | ers since the beginning of the war. Several German soldiers asked eagerly. "When will the war end?" | Officers as well as men gathered | round to hear what the Russian cap- tain thought. His reply, interpreted | | by Poles acquainted with both Rus-| sian and German, was --* Not before | August at the earliest." This caused | reat disappointment, 'and one | lung his helmet despondent anger. i { ~The Germans were surprised to! hear that the Russian trenches were | | well and regularly supplied with | | newspapers, and said they were not | | allowed to: receive any themseives. | The character of the information | | supplied to the German army may be judged from their belief that only | 40,000 Austrians were captured at | Przemy:l.
