GERMAN TALKS
 ABOUT ENGLISH
TELLS OF THEIR FIGHTING QUALITIES AND DESCRIBES
 THEIR METHODS,
(By The Associated Press.)

BERLIN, Dec 28.-English soldiers are good fighters and resOurceful, an editor of the Zeitung Am Mittag who is serving as first lieutenant in the German army, writes his paper in an account of the engagements around Ypres.
 "Full of fight and confident of easy victory" he says, "our young regi- ment started to march against the enemy. We were quite certain that Providence had endowed the English with long legs to facilitate their run ming away the faster. Thus we ad- vanced by long and short marches through Flanders, the great cemetery. We were delighted with the beautiful Flemish landscape and with the inhab- itants, whose language we soon mana ged to understand, even as they speed ily came to understand ours.
 eve thought of the English soldiers as the comic papers are wont to port ray them. There were a few who warned us against possible underesti- nation of the enemy, but their mis- givings were quietod by our pointing out that these were mercenary troops, hired at a few pence day, bare of patriotism and incapable of sacrifice.
 Sooner than we thought we were upon the enemy. First We came upon dead Englishman, then two wound ed English officers, then an English prisoner. The prisoner naturally was of great interest to our soldiers Wonder if the mercenary can shoot 9 ' We asked ourselves. An hour later some of his comrades gave us an an swer to that question. They gave us a clear, practical demOnsuotion-such a clear demonstration that our bat talion was reduced to half its orig inal size in a few encounters. We suddenly realized that the English mercenaries could not be routed with mere hurrahs, and that these smooth faced gentlemen used the long legs not always for running away, but sometime for desperate and dangerous charres
 : "The English infantry which oppos- ed us at Ypres must be considered among their best troops. They de tended their positions with energy and skill and when driven back tried again and again to recover the lost ground In these endeavors they were support ed efficiently by the fire of their artil- lery. They had also transported heavy naval guns to Ypres, and the English

to say that it is not much more dead.

the railroads are entitled to the stats
tical proof Of what they have already
done to lower the rate Of mortality.
That by the fairest possible stats.
tical comparison the rate Of mortality
yet Is higher in this country than In
Europe does not absolutely prove that
the railroads are less Jealous In this
country to protect the lives Of passen-
gers. Owing to tho differences In
equipment 1t is impossible for the
European travellers to take the volun-
tary risks which American travellers
take. Before European train starts
every passenger is tucked away In
his apartment. There is no such thing
as tardy one running to overtake
his train. 1t might be argued, too,
that the risk of travel increases faster
than the distance, but that, of course,
is an abstraction.

FEAR THE SLEEPY OPERATOR
Train Dispatchers Realize the Danger
Of Men at Lonely Stations lndulg-
ing In "Cat Maps"

One Of the annoyances Of train dis
patchers is sleepy operators. At lone
ly stations where only two or three
trains pass in the night time, and
there are no people about. 1t is a hard
matter for the operators to keep
awake-particularly so if they have
been out hunting during the day, or
have otherwise cut short their sleep.
Often they allow themselves a
short nap, relying on the call Of their
Office on the telegraph sounder awak-
ing them. as would their name spoken
in a buzz Of conversation. One night
an operator on the Northwestern Pa
cific awoke and heard a rumbling in
the distance. It was belated farm
er's wagon. but the operator reported
No. by. and was severely reprimand-
ed by the dispatcher, who knew No. 3
was not due for 20 minutes.
