Explains German Losses.
1.-THE great carnage they suffered
during their advances is thus ex-
planned: In the early fighting the Ger
mans did not appear to mind their
great losses in the least. They did not
take into account the human element,
but regarded it only as machinery.
But now the, great mortality has
begun to tell on the morale Of the
Germans. The loss Of officers has been
terrific. At Liege. where. as Ger
man headQuarter official puts it: We
could not hold the Junkers back some
regiments lost 60 per cent of their men.
Whole companies did not have an Off
GER left"
Referring to the array of motor cars
and motorcycles being used by the
Germans, the writer says that of those
he has seen more than halt are of for
eign make. There are many automo-
biles of English and fe ,:of American
makes, he writes, while thruout the
German army he has seen large
nurnher OF English and American made
motorcycles.
1.-The military motor cas-" he con-
tinues, ARE almost without exception
equipped with wire cutters. A frame
work of light steel protects the lamps
and extends up over the heads of the
occupants of the cars thus protecting
them from wires that are often
stretched across roads at u height
where they will catch the motorists
across the throat

follows:
The countryside was fun Of our

ants must need shoot at our men as
they marched by from lurking places.
Day before yesterday morning the
PruSSian troops surrounded village,
put the women, children. and old peo-
pie aside and shot all the men. The
village was then burned to the
ground
The story OF the shooting Of boy
scout is given as follows:
"A traitor has just been shot. He
was little French lad belonging to
one of the gymnastic societies which
wear the tricolored ribbons. poor
young fellow, who in his infatuation
wanted to be a hero.
"As the German column was pass
ing along a wooded defile he was
caught and asked whethed the French
were about. He refused to give any
information. Fifty yards farther there
was fire from the cover OF the wood.
The prisoner was asked in French II he
had known that the enemy was in the
forest, and he did not deny 1t.
"He went with Arm step to ,tele-
graph pole and stood against it with
a green vineyard at his back and re-
ceived the volley Of firing party with
a proud smile on his face. infatuated
wretch! It was pity to see such
wasted courage"
