LONDON. April 14-Reuter's
correspondent at British headquart-
ers in France sends the following:
The number of guns and nowitzers
captured by the British is now be-
lieved 20 be 200. The loss Of these
weapons must considerably weaken
the German defensive power. Train
ed teams of artillerymen now ac-
company the infantry in every ad-
vance in order TO make prompt use
against their former owners Of any
guns taken.
The great patches Of prisoners
in the cages are causing some an
uoyance because they disregard en-
tirely their own officers and non
commissioned officers. This absence
of discipline is regarded as signi-
hCant because nothing like il has
been observed before among Ger
man prisoners. II seems indicative
OF "a change of mind in the German
army German officers and nom

experts as TO the wise course in
the present emergency, the war de-
partment was compelled to reverse

The department had planned to
draft into federal service only ex-
listing units of the guard plus such
auxiliary troops as Hnight be need

permission TO raise new regiments,
however, and Sec'y Baker ordered a
new study Of the national defense
