GERMANY'S TROOPS
LONGING FOR PEACE
CANADIAN HEADQUARTERS

CANADIAN HEADQUARTERS
IN FRANCE, October 1 (by Cana
dian Press).-Reports that tho
rank and file of the enemy troops
have a great longing for peace are
confirmed by every prisoner cap
tured. One Of their chief griev-
ances is the failure of their high
er officers to take risks. Even
company commanders freely de-
pute to the underofncers their
duty while in the trenches and
remain well back from the front.
This is SO different from the re-
lati0ns between our officers and
men that 1T fs freely impressed
on the minds Of the Germans on
every occasion when there h
hand-to-hand fighting. in which
our officers invariably lead their
men, while the German officers
seldom do SO. They are not nc
tuated by fear. and 1T must be as
sumed that they are Obeying
orders in thus hanging back.
Very great losses Of the German
officer class early in the war may
have made it necessary to con-
serve their leaders. Whatever is
the reason for their failure to
tnlSe risks MS great as those to
which their men are subjected,
the latter are deeply discOntcnted.

OYSTER SUPPLY STILL SHORT.
Down-River Demand Keeps Many
Cargces From Coming Here.

The oyster supply at the wharf mar
ket continues short, though the dealers

From Friday last up to this morning 1t
is stated that but one vessel with oys-
ters aboard had arrived, and she has
sold out and sailed. Yesterday after
noon there was not an oyster to be had
at the wharf market, except in the
shucking houses, but number of oys-
ter-running craft are on their way here
and may arrive at any time.
The tongers, according to report. are
making good catches. but the demand
for oysters by the bay boats down river

BRITISH FORBID SHIPPING
AMERICAN GOLD TO SPAIN

Chicago. Jan. 2S--The British gov
eminent has warned United States
ship brokers that they must not ship
American gold to Spain This was
the words brought to Chicago today
by a steamship man who has been in
conference with ship brokers at one of
the Southern ports of entry
Investigation he said showed that
several heavy shipments of American
gold were held up as the result of the
British order. The ship owners fear
the blacklist or even confscation of
the shipment. he said.
The apparent reason for this or
der" declared the informant Of tho
International News Service. "Is the
unwilIingness of Great Britain to re-
lnouish the stranglo- hold which he
fore the war il had upon the money
markets of the world
The present conditions regulating
international EXCHANGE make ii profit
able for American bankers and Span
ish business houses to trade in Anaeri-

standard and to collect the high fixed
rate OF exchange which would be lost
