RUSSIA CLAIMS
 GERMANS ARE

A Petrograd telegram says @ letter found on an officer in the German gen eral staff recently killed contains the following
 "The day whom our position will be- come unendwable is drawing nigh, and we may be compelled to draw up peace treaty on terms dictated to us by our enemies.
 "3Ien who recently dreamed of con- Querlng the world think no longer of the capture of London, of Paris, or Petrograd. This task is reserved for our grandsons. and not for the splen- did German warriors who are laying down their lives every day on the limitless fields of Russia"
 Another member of the German general staff writes: It is terrible. We have no more men Do you know what that meansl The Russians have guessed our scheme in good time, and without accepting a decisive engage ment are retreating to the depths of the country, and in their retreat are causing us to suffer horrible losses.
 William has taken from Germany all that she can give, and now in the streets of the German towns you will find only the old men, women, and children. We have no more re. serves. Our losses are enormous, and soon we shall not be able to make them good. There was 9 time when the Russians had no shells. but now they possess them. As for our selves, soon we shall have nothing but the guns"
 A letter from general contains the following: "The only path of safety Hes in a speedy peace, and the Emperor has high hopes of this. He consents to evacuate the localities occupied by the German troops, and even to give up the colonies, but the Allies arc not anxious to meet him, and desire to parcel out Germany among themselves. This is horrible.
