GERMANS
HARD
PRESSED
PARIS
German
prisoners
cap-lured
by
the
Allies
tell
of
hardships
they
had
to
suffer.
They
had
to
march
all
the
way
from
Germany
to
the
Somme,
thirty
miles
per
day,
and,
although
utterly
exausted,
were
sent
into
their
soldier
to
the
front
rather
than
riding
them.
These
stories
lend
some
support
to
the
expectation
of
some
military
observers
that
the
German
forces
may
crack
in
complete
collapse
If
the
present
pare
is
kept
up.

PARIS
A

said
today
that,
if

arise
and
it
is
not
expected
that
It
will,
Paris
will
be
defended
"to
the
last
man
and
the
last
house.'"
That
Is
the
official
decision
of
the
French
government.
The
defence
will
be
without
consideration
of
art
treasures
or
population,
government
would
"rather
Paris
rated
to
the

than
that

should
