GERMAN OFFICERS
WON'T TAKE RISKS

CANADIAN HEADQUARTERS
IN FRANCE. oct. 2.-(By Canadian
Press) Reports that the rank and
file of the enemy troops have a great
longing for peace is confirmed by
every prisoner captured. one of
their chief grievances is the failure
of their higher officers 70 take risks.
Even company commanders freely
depute to the under officers their
duty while in the trenches and re-
main well back from the front.
This is 50 different from the re
lations between our officers and men
that il is freely impressed on the
minds of the Germans on every Oc-
casion when there is hand-to- hand
fighting, in which our officers in
variably lead their men, while the
German officers seldom do so. They
are not actuated by fear and it must
be assumed that they are obeying
orders in thus hanging back. Very
great losses of the German officers
class. early in the war, may have
made it necessary to conserve their
leaders. Whatever is the reason for
their failure to take risks as great
as those 20 which their men are sub
jected. the latter are deeply discon-
tented.

competitive field coal operators, dis

here of reimbursement of wage
scales, agreed Monday TO meet in
part the miners demands on con-
dition that the government increase

Their counter proposal will be sub

Both operators and miners have

A Garfield, the fuel administrator.
who is expected TO revise coal
prices upward so wage increases
may be paid. The chief point Of
differences now between miners and
operators is how much OF the in
crease If granted, shall be added TO
wages The operators declare that
unless price increases more than
meet wage advances they cannot
operate at a profit.
The miners demand wage in
creases ranging from % percent
upwards They seek to break a
contract made last April under
which increases were granted for
a year basing their demands on the
contention that miners are engas-
ing in higher priced work else
where. thus threatening quantity
production.
