Berlin Press Pessimistic.
By g. F. STEWARD.

Correspondent London Daily News.
Rotterdam, Oct. 2.-There was a
wonderful transformation in the tone
of the whole German press today. They
had articles obviously preparing the
public for a great retreat in France.
An official message states that fighting
during the last few days has been con-
tinued with redoubled ardor around
Noyon, the action quickly taking en-
unheard of proportions. 1t continues:
1--WE may be forced to give up some
points of little importance, but the peo-
pie must reserve their judgment until
the result of the combined operations
is known"
This appeared in all the papers. The
Vossische Zeitung says the Germans
are making superhuman efforts to
break through the lines of the allies,
and in all probability the fights of the
next few days will be decisive. The
allies. it proceeds, r retreating a lit
tie, but at the same time are under
taking a gigantic attack. with Verdun
IS a center.
The Berlinger Tageblatt more frank
ly suggests that the Germans are far
from having their own way and are in
a difficult position,

fragment of the shell. The other old
horse was half falling, half leaning up
against the fence. MS fore legs
stretched out forward. his hind feet
doubled up on the sand beneath him.
Both had been killed instantly.
There was a faint odor in the air

given of by methylated spirits yet
mixed with a pungent smell of men

There vas no wind at the time,
the air being practically still. | should
like to have seen the gun, but this, as
well as the shells, was surrounded by
a canvas screen. That the experiment
made a deep impression on those pres
ent was quite obvious, and l was not
surprised therefore to hear that the
experiments had been repeated on a
much larger scale at the French per-
manent camps of Chalons and Mailly-
Behind Locked Doors.
Il am told that the experiments got
to the ear of the German general staff,
for it appears that various plausible
people, self-styled journalists, business
agents, and others, began to call upon
M. Turpin. After the war broke
out a special guard was placed outside
M. Turpin's residence to warn OF
all unauthorized persons. Within the
last few weeks, however, Mr.. Tur-
pin has taken up his quarters at a
magnetic factory in a populous Paris
suburb, where a number of men have
been engaged in preparing the COM
ponent parts Of the turpinite shells,
which are finished off in a private lab
oratory by Mr.. Turpin and two assist
ants, who work with the doors locked.
For special reasons, which it would
be unfair to divulge at the present
moment, 1 am strongly of opinion that
these shells have not been used to
any extent by the French armies in
the field. Probably an actual test I'M
der battle conditions has been made
once or twice, but no more. A num-
Der of people, however, have got wind
of the matter, and Imagination has
done the rest.
THAT this terrific explosive will,
however, be used in case of such an
eventuality as, say, an attempt to
take Paris by storm I have no doubt,
but l am convinced that, despite the
thousands of bombs now prepared and
the special ~apparatuses that are being
cast, this explosive, a single 56-pound
shell of which is able to killEso to
speak-to 'petrify' every living thing
in a space of 400 square yards, viii
not be used unless in very desperate
circumstances, and only with the full
consent of Frances allies"

HALF WORKS WHILE
OTHER HALF SLEEPS

LondQn.-The secret of the tremen
dous German dash through Belgium
and on the outskirts of Paris now ap
pears to be explained, according to {
British officer who has returnee
wounded to England. The German
army was organized as are the work
ers in a factory or a coal mine. THAI
is, they worked in two shifts. Through
out the advance from Liege half the
army was sleeping while the other
half was attacking or advancing, and
by these tactics they kept the allies
constantly awake and wore them ou
by sheer want of sleep.
The fall of Namur was almost en-
tirely due to the two shift tactics OF
the German army. The bombardmenS
of that town, it will be remembered
was continuous for three days-fron
Thursday, August 20. until five o'clocl
on the following Sunday afternoon.
1t is obvious that the German attack
ers must have worked two shifts to
have carried on such a bombardment
Even if the gunners we're beyond the
range of Belgian fire and safe from at.
tack, they could not have kept it up
for 70 consecutive hours. In the gar
rison of Namur sleep would have been
impossible under such a terrific can
nonade, and want of sleep is a
stronger engine of war than yen the
German 11-inch howitzers.
From Namur right down Through
the northwestern part of France the
German advance was conducted on the
two shift" principle, which means
that twice a day when the shift that
has just slept, comes up to the front
to relieve the shift. whose time for
sleep has come, the firing line Is re-
enforced to the full strength Of the
army and vast attacks car be
launched. These, it will be observed,
have been the tactics employed for
the great German dashes have not
been continuous, although the general
movement forward during that stage
of the wal was.
Only soldiers who have fought
through arduous campaigns can real
ize that sleep is a thing to which the
bravest soldiers must eventually sue
cumb. 1t is a struggle to beat off the
healthy approach of sleep only fol
"a hours; 70 hours is longer than mos
human beings can resist it, and BY
that time it is SO strong that it out
