GERMAN PRIVATE
SOLDIERS LONG
FOR END Of WAR
Prisoners Captured Express
Much Dissatisfaction Bel
cause Officers Refrain Front
Taking Risks, |

Canadian Headquarters in France,
Oct. 1.-RepOrt that the rank and file
of the enemy troops have great long
ing for peace is confirmed by every
prisoner captured. one of their chief
grievances is the failure of their high
er officers to take risks. Even com
pany commanders freely depute to the
under Officers their duty while in the
trenches, and remain well back from
the front.
This is so different from the rela-
tions between our officers and men
that it is freshly impressed on the
minds of the Germans on every occa-
sion when there is hand to hand
fighting, in which our officers invar
iably lead their men, while the Ger
man officers seldom do so. They are
not actuated by fear and 1t must be
assumed that they are obeying orders
in thus hanging back. Very great
losses of the German officer class
early in the war have made it neces-
sary to conserve their leaders. What
ever is the reason for their failure to
take risks as great as those to which
their men are subjected, the latter are
deeply discontented.
