German formations in training which were intended to supply Won linden burg with his next army "are being broken up to supply the reinforce ments" needed on the western front.
 "A division has recently been strengthened by the addition of a considerable number of these young lads of 19 years. Their training is insufficient. although their morale appears to be good and they are phy- sically fit"
 Among German troops which have been at the front for a considerable time "the war weariness is spread ing" the despatch says, with their morale lowering as their faith in the U-boat as a means to victory" dies out.
 The despatch asserts that "as the man power fails Germany Is turning more and more towards machinery" l" in the use of which there has been an increase.
 Letters found recently on Germans indicate. the despatch says, that sol diers, themselves on scanty rations. have here and there been sending food home to their families.

which responded to the alarm, met op- position from the convicts, who used bricks and tools stolen from the inn plement house as weapons. There were some knives among them also.
 The buildings fired include the rat tan and chair factories, which are of considerable size, and the chapel.
 The first work of the soldiers was to clear the convicts away from the blaz- ing buildings so that the firemen could work. This was quickly accomplished and then the soldiers began heading them toward the cells. The infantry men were instructed not to shoot un- less to save their own lives.
 MT. Bowen. temporary warden, yes terday issued orders that no visitors except relatives would be received at the prison. This is said to have in censed the prisoners.
 1,2oo Convicts in the Prison. There are about 1,200 convicts and the situation soon got beyond the con- trol of the 50 guards. The temporary warden telegrap aphed to Governor Low den for military assistance.
 For some time there have been re- ports of lax discipline at the prison, and conditions were the subject of a recent investigation by a legislative committee. Warden Zimmer resigned some time ago voluntarily to accept another position in Chicago. His sue cessor has not been appointed and Mir. Bowen has been acting temporarily. Yesterday, in the interests of disci- pline, he instructed that hereafter no visitors except relatives would be ad- n1itted to the grounds.
 Anger at the order first made itself apparent at breakfast today. Dishes were hurled at the guards, tables over turned and the convictS surged into the grounds, shouting and making threats. They seized what missiles and weapons they could and obtained more from the implement house. They set fire to the rattan shop twice, the first blaze having proved abortive. Other fires followed. Bremen from this city responded to an alarm, but were op- posed by the convicts, who threw vol leys of bricks at them. Chief Royce was knocked down, but was rescued by his men. The battle was proceeding briskly when the soldiers arrived
 The troops were ordered to hold their fire, and although outnumbered tack with bayonets and cIubbed rifles In the course of the fighting Peter Waters, guard, was injured, and three convicts were wounded by bayo- net thrusts.
 Capt. H. C. Ridgway of E company was guarding solitary" when he was attacked by a big convict. There was a terrific encounter for a moment un- til the soldier knocked his assailant unconscious with a blow from his pis- tol.
 The soldiers gradually forced the scattered groups of convicts to a cor ner of the yard. The work was ham pered by darkness caused by the smoke of the burning buildings. Acting on the order of their commanders, the soldiers fred several volleys, aiming

During ne afternoon the work slowed up to one extent but after o'clock things began to pick up. When the work trains came into the city a number of the men rushed to the building. and these gave the registrars some work for a while.

 During the afternoon F. L. Shattuck, who was acting as a registrar, had chair slip from under him, letting him down to the floor. In the fall MT. Shattuck struck his head on the side of the building and cut his scalp. The cut was given treatment and MT. Shattuck returned to his work.
