France has issued a warning to Germany that for every building destroyed Germany will in kind and that the German people and the German officers this destruction will be held criminally and financially many has notified the United States that she will be soldier captured with pay who order responsible. Germany executes every American a shot gun in his possession and Secretary Lansing has replied that America, not Germany, is taking prisoners and that for every American executed several Germans will pay a like penalty.
Cations are that the allies will soon be on German soil when the burning and destruction of property will be carried on by the allies.
