Bothe the Germans, said the ser
geant, feared for their lives if they
should come Into the power of their
countrymen. Even a'ter the armistice
was signed, he said, this fear remain
ed, and the men from time to time
remarked that even in America they
would be in danger of being murdered
by German secret service agents.
From the sergeant's account it ap
peared that one of the ' prisoners,
Adolph Scholtz, was captured during
a raid on the American trencher Just
before the St. Mihiel drive. He was a
private in a Prussian infantry regi
ment. "I know both the men who came
here on the Agamemnon," he said.
"I am surprised that the mystery
which enshrouded them at our head
quarters is still maintained. Any num
ber of men in the A. E. F. must know
all about them by this time.
"One of the prisoners was en en
listed man in the aviation service,
who was captured when his machine
came down behind our lines in the
Argonne. I didn't know him so well
as I did Scholtz.
"As I remember Scholte was brought
into headquarters while we were at
Ligny, a good many kilometers be
hind the lines. He came with a lot of
other prisoners. We captured almost
the whole raiding party of forty that
time, and what first attracted atten
tion to him was his neat appearance,
as compared with the others.
