German Morale Is
Crushed by Defeat

British Front in France and Bel
GUM. Sept. 23.-By the Associated
Press. THAT phase of the battle of
Flanders that occurred last Thurs
day and which has been character
lied as the battle Of Menin road was
today largely matter of history.
Hard local fighting was still in pro-
gress at a point west Of Gheluyelt.
known as Tower Hamlets, but not
withstanding the determined efforts
or the Germans to regain the ground
they lost here, they were unable to
dislodge the British troops.
The German military code in the
past has taken little count of losses
in men, If results could be achieved
In the present instance the German
counter attacks have not only been
costly, but useless. for the British
artillery has in a majority Of cases
torn the advancing columns TO bits
and driven the survivors back in
hasty retreat.
The battle Of Menin road has fur
nished further evidence of that de-
terioration In the fighting qualities
which has been going on In the Ger
man lines for some time. 1t must
not be assumed for this statement
that the Germans are in a demoral-
lied state. During the last few dsv
they have fought with great determ-
nation and sklllfully. but they are
not 30 good as they were.
In this connection q change ha,
been noted in the attitude of CAP
tured German officers, Apparently
thoy no longer have faith In the fu-
lure and have abandoned hope of
success In the western theatre. Ths
