FORWARD DEFENSES
OF GERMANS ARE
MUCH DEMORALIzEO

British Headquarters in France and
Belgium, Oct. 2.-(By The Associated
Press) The badly punished German
troops east of Ypres today were large
ly resting on their arms after re-
verses suffered yesterday When they
attempted a series of fierce counter
attacks to drive the British back. Pos
siblv the designation resting" is a
misnomer, for the enemy wa sitting
under a terrific bombardment from
hundreds Of big guns which were dc
luging his back and forward areas
with high explosives and turning his
fastness irto twisted masses Of Gefris
which formed the graves of he de-
tenders.
Captured Germans say that their
forward defcnSes have been greatly
demrralized by this ceaseless pound
ing. Relief and ration par les venture
out to be turned back or to make
their miserable way forward by cir
cuitous routes to the men holding the
advanced shell holes. WHO often have
been compelled to hold on without
water or proper food. Badly needed
Ammunition has frequently never
reached its destination.
Every approach to the German lines
Is covered by British guns. making
tie movement of enemy infantry an
arduous process. Naturally the cues
ton arises wfat effect all this il hav-
ing on the morale OF the German
troops. It is generally admitted
among the prisoners that the morale
of their men has deteriorated since
the beginning of the battles in Flan-
ders
Meanwhile. the spirit Of the British
troops is daily climbing higher

PROTECT THE MAINE
deer THIS YEAR

While Is states will have no big
game hunting this year because deer
have been exterminated or because the
stock has been so reduced that the
season is closed. there are 80 other
states, according to the I. 5. Depart
ment OF Agriculture, which Will nave
an open season for deer hunting. raie
season ranges from four days IN New
Jersey and six DAYS in Massachusetts
and Vermont to two months or more
in some OF the Southern states. These
seasons will open in August in Oregon
and in most parts of California; IN
September in the rest of California
and in Idaho South Carolina. and VIZ
einia: in October in Maine, New
Hampshire New York, Georgia, Mon
tana, Wyoming, Washington, Nevada,
Arizona, and New Mexico; in Novem-
Der in Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin
and several of the southern states:
and in December in Pennsylvania. In
about one third of the states the law
allows the hunter one deer a year, and
in most others two.
The Department Of Agricuitur.
urges all persons to cooperate to Sc
cure the best possible protection or
deer so as 10 get the maximum amount
of venison as a source of meat. 1t is
estimated that about $4,000 deer are
killed legally in the United States each
year. These produce nearly 10000. 900
pounds of venison. The Biological
Survey of the L. s. Department OF
Agriculture says that this number Of
deer can be very largely increased
since only two or three states proauce
more than 10000 deer a year and many
less than 1000, When 100 deer are
obtained in a state as densely popu-
lated as Massachusetts 1t should, not
he difficult. says the Department. to
increase the total in the other states
by at least 25 per cent Every pound
of venison brought in from the woods
should be made to save pound Of
beef. mutton or pork raised on ranch
or farm.
The cooperation of game commits
sionerS. conservation associations and
other organizations is requested by the
Department as an aid in securing ac-
curate reports Of the number of deer
killed in each state this year Such
reports should prove Of value for com
parison with the returns from other
years and may tell whether the mum
her Of deer annually taken in anv
state may be increased without i'm
pairing the breeding stock.
