or "open." There is not much differ!
ence between the two. During the
continuance Of either state the indi-
vidual thus affected can only leave
his quarters for purposes OF exercise
in barracks or camp. He is not per-
mitted to enter the mess. and his
meals are served in his own room or
tent. AS he is not allowed to come in
contact with his brother officers, one
of them is specially told of to take
charge of him until such time as he is
finally realised or otherwise dis
posed of. Another regulation is that
he must always wear uniform. with
the exception of sword. belt and
spurs.
The work of the Women's Auxiliary
Army Corps in France is greatly
praised by all American soldiers who
have come in contact with these Brit
ish lasses who dare death that the
Hun may be defeated.
The Man Of Mystery" in the various
allied armies fighting against the
Hun on the western front, is the field
cashier. OF him one soldier writes:
"Once a week he comes to the lit
tie French town where I am billeted.
There is always queue OF ofhcers
awaiting him, and never twice the
same queue, yet he always manages
to satisfy their pecuniary needs
theirs and their mems as well:
Everybody recognizes this element
of mystery about the field cashier.
I'm his sanctum reigns a cloister-
like calm. Even the tones of the
senior major are hushed. and the
voice of the adjutant is not heard in
the land.
1.-The field cashier is generally
lieutenant or a captain; yet colonies
bow before him. for he has the goods
and the delivery thereof.
There are many mysteries about
the field cashier. You approach him
timorously and hand him a requisition
for 1896 francs to pay your company.
Within ten seconds, by some leger-
domain, pile of notes confronts you.
Like a dog with a bone, you retire to
a convenient corner to count them.
After a laborious ten minutes you
find that the sum is absolutely cor

A new method Of fighting the U

wake Of the torpedo can usually be
seen quite clearly. When the depth

premature explosion of the torpedo
or else diverts the deadly missile from

by accident. A ships officer in his

which were expected to smash our
lines. Other-second-rate
were to follow behind, exploit the
breaches made and hold whatever
new fronts might be established. The
system worked fairly well SO long
ing. The fifty shock divisions I'M
doubtedly did excellent work. but as
soon as the successive drives were
checked and the front stabilized the
inferior quality of the second-rate
units set to hold the line was i'm
mediately evident. While there are
some particularly distinguished divi-
sions in the French and British ar
mics there is no clean-cut separation
into first and second rate. All our
divisions are shock divisions. So
soon as we began to attack our SUI
periority was manifest
Try to Correct Mistake.
The Germans seem to realize that
they cannot hold defensive line
against hrst-rate troops with second
rate troops. They are therefore now
endeavoring to undo the work done
prior to March 81. They seem to be
making an effort to distribute the
good men generally throughout the
units with view to improving the
quality of the army as a whole at the
expense of the famous "Stosstrup-
PEN" But. as a French officer with
whom I was discussing this point,
said to me, 1T is too late. Once
division begins to consider itself
second-rate it is almost impossible
to improve it. From a number of
baskets you can pick the best apples
and make one or two very superior
baskets, but when these begin to go
rotten you cannot restore them by
putting back the good apples. What
happens is merely that the good ap-
Piles also go rotten by the contact"
1t is a little problem in military
gardening of which I gladly leave
the solution to the German general
staff.

Germans Meet Peril of Con-

i portant Measures.
ORGANIZE FOR DEFENSE
BY PAUL SCOTT MowRER.

BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER.
Cablegram to The Sunday Star and
Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1918.
WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES, Sep.
TENDER 27.-Four important measures
seem to have been taken by the enem!
to meet the danger occasioned by oul
unremitting attacks. First. he has has.
Itened to shorten his line; second, the po
sitions to which he has retired are the
highly fortified organizations known as
the Hindenburg line, which will consid-
erably increase the difficulties of our as
sault: third, he has taken radical steps
TO raise the soldiers shaken morale
end. fourth, he has begun to reorganize
his divisions on a defensive basis.
VIII discuss each of these four measures
il: some detail.
Result of Five Offensives.
First-In the five great ofensives in
the Germans have exhausted most of
their reserves. When they lost the mi
,lative and found the new positions
threatened on the TANKS by our deter
1nlred drives, it became to their interest
TO retreat in as good order as possible
on new positions. The effect of their
successive retreats trcm the Marine,
Amiens. Flanders and ST. Mihiel salient
has been to shorten the line of front by
$50 kilometers (ninety-five miles,. This
means that fewer troops are required
for the actual duty of holding the line.
The German reserves must have been
swel1ed by at least fifty additional divi-
sions by this movement
Our reserves naturally have in
creased in the same proportion. but as
we now have Slight numerical SUI
Ieriority. it is to our interest to make
the enemy use as many divisions as
possible. while it is to his interest to
economize as many as possible Less
divisions are required to hold quiet
4 sectors than active ones. Thus far
we have been obIigins Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg to throw his spare
divisions back into the line almost as
fast as he has taken them out by eX-
tending our attacks and turning sec
The Germans, therefore. undoubtedly
would like to shorten the lines still
more if they could do SO under favor
able conditions
1t is my opinion that the recent
peace proposal to Belgium was made
with this in view. The Germans GER
I. tainly thought that this proposal. I'M
| like their general peace proposition,
stood chance of being accepted.
With Belgium out of the war the
front would extend merely from Lux
cmburg to Switzerland. The Germans
have enough men to defend a short
line like that for long time. whereas,
the front from Switzerland to the
North sea offers far greater difficult
ties.
