Prisoners Taken Indicate That the
Morale OF German Forces Is

BY WILLIAM PHILIP sIMMs.

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN
THE FIELD, Feb. 9.-The Germtn
tro ops cup of pessimlsm is overflow
ing at the possibility Of the United
States entering the war, British Of
ficials declared There is a notice
able discouragement TO be seen in
the attitude of recently taken Ger
man prisoners. The general view
pcint is-"what's the use" These
prisoners declared that the news of
the American break with their gov
erament filtered through to the
front very slowly without any details
beyond the bare announcement Brit
ish officers say the German spirit
is steadily waning. The evacuation
Of Grande Court without any fight
ing by them is q strong example of
this sort OF decreasing morale.
The British forces are nov astride
the Ancre and are steadily pushing on
toward Miramount. Since Tuesday
they have taken 1900 yards of Ger
man held territory and u considerable
number OF prisoners against remark
ally protected positions. A year ago

disputed such an attempt by the
British forces.
Almost all prisoners admit that
the German spirit is much lower
than formerly. the British officers
sad. The British system OF contin-
uous raids. policy Of sudden attacks
at unexpected times and places
each one different in style and exc
eution--and the continual hammer
ing away by the British artillery
have all told heavily on the Germans,
Then came the prospect os America
entering the war on the side of the
allies,
German wireless dispatches recent
ly claimed the retaking of the Pu-
sieux trench which the British cap
tured by moonlight last Saturday
night. This position is on the slopes
Dominating Grande Court. The evac-
uation OF Grande Court is the answer
To these wireless claims.

Ry ROBERT !. BENDER.

WASHINGTON, Feb. a.-WhiIe
the United States hopes almost
against hope--and prepares for any
e, entuaiity---a tremendous sub-sur-
face movement TO keep this country
at peace is now proceeding. What is
believed to be Il secretly tacit but
wholly informal sanction of this gov
ernment to the movement has deyei-
oped along three lines, namely:
First, the effort of neutrais, con-
fined now to almost all neutfals ex-
cept the United States, TO have con-
vention called to meet at Madrid with
a view OF confirming the war to the
present limits and ii possible, get the

many that although she will not re-

she will agree not to harm American
or other neutral rights.

the German barred zone warfare.
Ii is expected that Ambassador
BernStorff viii make an effort to
preserve peace between Germany
and the United States after he
reaches Berlin, provided no overt
act has been committed by Germany
by this time. This apparently is
an independent move on Bernstorff's
part. though it is admitted that it
will scarcely fail to meet with this
governments approval. The belief
grows here that ii the expected
overt act does come the countries
viii merely drift into state Of war
without a declaration Of hostiiities
on either side.
