LOSS IN MAN POWER
Captured German Off,
GERS Admit Situation
Serious

British Headquarters IN France and
Belgium. Aug. 3.-(By the Associated
Press).-German officers captured in the
battle in Flanders have discussed quite
freely both the military and political sit
uation as it affects the fatherland. Ger
manys loss in man power they admit to
be serious.
The interesting Information has been
volunteered by these prisoners that the
entire class Of 1918 recruits is now in the
field In its entirety and, what is more
significant. 1t is said that small elements
of the 1919 class already are at the 'front.'
although it Is claimed they are serving
ONLY as volunteers. This lie the first time
that any German officer has admitted
that any men Of the 1919 class were on
the battle front.
The whole trend Of the statements made
by these captured officers is that they
are beginning to fear that they may lose
the war More depressing than anything
else is the fear that there May be an
other winter campaign. Peace without
annexation or indemnity is endorsed by
all the officers who have discussed the
question, but most Of them have indicated
that they favor the annexation of eastern
Belgium and part of the coast Of Flan-
ders, II such a thing could possibly be
done.
The men are highly intelligent. An on
Ger who has made study Of economic
matters said the war already was cost

the situation.
Official Says Germany Innocent
/ Almost without exception the Ger
man officers still maintain that Ger
many is innocent of causing the war
and say there is "all manner Of doc
rmentary evidence to prove it."
Discussing the present battle the
German officers say that the British
! gas shell commandment on the two
nights preceding the op&ing of the
infantry charge was most effective
and that the Germans suffered heavily.
The Guard Fusiliers were heavily
gassed Sunday and Monday night.
Sunday night they were still in their
supporting positions. but the follow
ing night. preceding the battle, they
were in the process OF carrying out a
relief movement. The men wore gas
helmets, but the gas clouds from the
British penetrated the helmets and a
large number OF troops were over
come.
A German division which was be-
ing held IN support on the back line
crossing the Ypres-Menn road also
suffered severely. So disastrous was
the effect Of the gas at this point that
at least one battalion which was be-
ing rushed up to the relief Of the men
in the front lines never reached it's
| objective.
1t is the irony Of fate that E. was
in this section Of the front that the
Germans early in the war for the first
time in history inaugurated the use
Of gas shells.
