(By. Associated Press.)

Amsterdam, Oct. 7.-MinIster OF
War Won Stein today in a speech be-
fore the Reichstag, sad that the men
in the armies must be enlightened
concerning the real causes of the war.
Minister Won Stein declared that the
army command did not permit polit-
ical agitation within the army. This
caused a stir and cries of "Oh, oh!'
from the left. Ghcreupon the president
pointed out the impossibility of fur
ther debate under such conditions
and begged the deputies to resume
their seats.
Minister Won Stein, in continuing,
said:
THE explanations given in the army
are CT quite different tendencies and
purport. In view of tie enemy's les,
which are circulated all around the
world, it is clear that our soldiers
must be enlightened concerning the
real causes of the war and the
enemy's Intentions and the conse-
quences if we lost.

The war minister then charged that
enemy agents were endeavoring to in
duce dissension and vacillation among
the German people, therefore prin-
ciples had been laid down for 'he
army in the field and the army at
home. He declared that the enemy,
too, has his army propaganda to up
hold to insti:l the spirit of victory in
their ranks.

spirit of our army at the level with
which it entered the campaign" he

FoIIotte for His Actors in
Worrying the Cov-
er7ment.

Bishop Homer Sturtz, occupying
he pulpit of the First Methodist
church Sunday morning, was ap-
plauded at the beginning of his dis
course when he SAID: "Any man who
hangs on the flank of his go ernment
and worries it-Whuther he be a
Brutus or a La I'ollette-deserves
execration.'
"The Kingdom and True National
ISM" was the theme from which the
bishop drew inspiring utterances.
Our nationalism is i'll pursuit OF
high ideals, and the spirit of our ma
tionalism is manifested when we send
our sons to the camps and when we
buy Liberty bonds. Ours il ma
tionalism that gives all for the up
building of the world and for that
kind of nationalism you and should
feel proud that we live under this
flag. Our nationalism stands for lib.
erty ami righteousness for all the
race. Let us rem cmber that every
soldier in the ranks today is fighting
for something dealer than his life.
We should be willing to make any
sacrifice to support this great ma
tionalism of ours said the bishop.
All in Common Cause.
Continuing: Never before in the
history of the world have so many
high-type nations been allied in a
common cause. They are united to
suppress the only remaining tyrannl-
cal government and the result will be
triumph of true nationalism which
will be followed by a federation OF
nations, clearing house Of righteous
ness and human rights.
"If we can help Our president, our
soldiers and our diplomats to keep
our nationaIism clean, then indeed we
will have played a part i'll overthrow
ing tyranny and establishing righte-
business in the world.

The reason the Germans are slow

Play Secondary Role.
Dig gun actions are in progress
along the Flanders front with indica-
tions that the Germans as usual IN
this form OF combat are playing the
secondary role.
Field Marshal Haig's report on Fri
day nights activities mentions only
the increased fire from the German
artillery. Press reports, however,
show that the Germans are suffering
heavily from the effects of the British
artillery fire. Some of the advanced
positions to which they were still
clingng after Thursdays attack have
become too hot to hold and British
reconnoitering PARTIES are hnd'ng
them evacuated.
Frightfrl Carnage Among Germans.
The Germans suffered severely in
the British attack Thursday and trip

bodies OF German soldiers in the

were wounded sometimes under pile
of corpses, which the British stretcher
bearers had not been able to reach.
Along one section of the Australian
front | 600 bodies were counted, A
little farther south there was another
lot Of 700. One officer of the Prussian
Guards, who was captured near Poly
gon wood. said that British she'll fire
did te!rjble havoc among his men.
German Morale Poor.
The manner in which the German
command conducted the defense
Thursday is significant. In accord
;nce with their custom they threw
in various units proriscuously along
the whole battle front in an attempt
to stem the advan :e, but a striking
feature was the mixture of the units,
the lack of cohesion between them
and the confusion arising as a con-
sequence. This tends to indicate lack
of organization.
Br tish Eager For Sammies.
The British morale and organiza-
ton on the other hand has never been
at higher pitch than at present. On
every side one hears the comment:
When spring comes and the
American are in the line with the
allies, nothin, can hold us back"
