Baltimore, Md, Sept. 2S.-The ac-
tual work of the thirteenth annual

girl endeavored to assist him and was
struck by his flying body, the marks

of the boys shoe struck her
The children were found by some
cne who entered the powerhouse, the
boy dead, and the ,sirl nearly SO,

GERMANS
Use NIGHT
ATTACKS
UNITED STATES ARMY OFF,
GERS WONDER AT THEIR
AUDACITY.
.COEfUSES THE ENEMY
Requires Trained Troops in
All Of Kaiser's Regi-
ments.

Washington, Sept. 2S.--The night
attack employed by the German army
will prove greater terror than aero
planes or Zeppeiins, in the opinion OF
lile officers OF the general staff. 1t
was learned today that they are mar
yelling at the audacity of ',he German
commanders in using this movement
with large bodies Of troops.
Reading between the lines of the
reports sent from Paris and London
American officers have concluded
that the German commanders have di-
vided their forces into two sections.
One section is on the firing line dur
ing the day while the other organiza-
tions retire to their tents and sleep. :
When the days fighting is over the
night force is ordered to the front and
begin their operations under the cover
of darkness. After having been on
the firing line all day, some organiza-
tions, it is believed, are marched into
new positions at night so that the
lines of the German army are continu-
ally shifting. This is done to keep
the enemy's artillery from locating the
different mobilization points.
Latest Military Movement.
The night attack is the latest mill
tary movement Only few years
ago night attack problems were taken
up by the general staff of the army.
1t requires the highes. trained troops
and has not been undertaken by a
large organization.
Night maneuvers are Of an older
origin and were employed extensively
by the Japanese in the Russo.Japan-
ese war In this war troops were lin
ed UP. during the night for an early
morning attack Such movements
were employed by commanders in the
Civil war, but not as extensive and in
such a scientific manner as in the
Russo-Japanese war.
Made for Night Attacks.
The Japanese commanders made a
few night attacks, but they were me.
with disastrous result. Apparently,
the Japanese army had not reached
that high state Of efficiency which
made night attacks effective. They
proved more disastrous and democrat
izing to the Japanese troops than to
the Russians. But if the reports are
to he relied upon, the German COM
manders are employing an entirely diff
ferent system Of night attacks and are
relying upon them for their offensive
work in the present campaign.
In undertaking a night attack not
only the company commanders but
privates of an army must receive spe-
cial instructions every night The
commanding officers of the advance
guard are furnished with compasses
and pocket flashlights. They carry
maps of the line over which they are
