MUST CONSERVE MEN
German Officers Say 1t Is Of
Supreme Importance.
Saving Of Men for First Tlme Ack-
n~owledged to Be More important
Than Munitions.

With the French Armies in the
Field, Oct. 10.-For the first time since
the war began Germany's military
chiefs are beginning to talk about econ
omizing the nations human material"
German army orders, signed by
Quartermaster General Ludendorff,
have recently been taken from pris-
ouers, emphasizing the need for this
economy.
Ludendorff's order from the copy
taken on a German prisoner declares:
The consumption of munitions has
remained constantly very high recent
ly in the fighting on the front In spite
of the fact that the activity has gen.
orally diminished. In particular, the
consumption Of shell and mortar and
heavy field howitzers Is much greater
than the production.
This is serious. However, the su-
perior direction of the army cannot
Issue a new general order for a furth-
err restriction in consumption OF mu-
n~itions, because our losses on all the
fighting fronts continue to be very
high and could become even higher IL
further general restrictions YER
made.
Economy in men is even more i'm
portant than economy in munitions.
To this end it is necessary to use mu-
nitions as carefully As POSSIBLE"
