UNDER WHITE FLAG
German Nurses Returned (Rec. 6.45 p.m.) LONDON, July 3. For a few minutes last evening the front in the Tilly-Caen area was strangely quiet as two American ambulances bearing a white flag drove toward the German lines to return six German nurses who voluntarily remained in Cherbourg to attend to German wounded, says the correspondent of the British United Press. A German major and captain met the ambulance, and as the nurses scrambled out the major remarked: “Hot day, isn’t it?” Someone agreed, but there was no further conversation. The ambulance then returned and immediately afterwards there was a terrific exchange of machine-gun and mortar fire.
