Unable difference they can only ask
for greater efforts from the units that
are still intact and employ all sorts
of ~expedients to fill the gaps made by
their terrific losses.
How can these great losses be ac-
counted for and what were the contrib
uting factors in the systematic wear
ing away of the great German divi-
sions? Apart from tn highly efficient
intelligence bureaus of the allied gen.
eral staff, Swiss sources offer the next
best opportunity for learning facts
about the German army which are
generally not published. From n of
these sources was traced the history
since the beginning of the year of one
of the famous German divisions, the
One Hundred and Ninety-seventh. This
brief history may be taken as an ex-
ample of the overwork to which the
German troops are subjected and al
low us to form an estimate of their
losses.

HUNS USING Up BEST
TROOPS IN HARD FIGHT

The battle for the plateau north of
scissors has used up some Of the best
divisions remaining in the German
army.
This was evidenced Tuesday morn
ing by the fields being strewn with
the dead of the Prussian guards. They
are piled one on top of the other in
some trenches and long lines of them
show where the guards counter at
tackled five times in vain effort to
stem the tide of battle, which was
running relentlessly against them.
Both tanks and air sqadrons con-
tributed TO the rOut of the guards.
Aviators flying low over the field met
the attacking forces with a CALLING
machine gun fire and pursued the
shattered lines as they retired before
the unflinching French troops.
Tanks drove into the enemy's lines,

Germans May Not Hold Hindenburg
Line This Time.

The effects of the recent British
success are hourly becoming more ap-
parent. The enemy is steadily. but
surely going back. Successive minor
victories in Flanders. the application
of sustained pressure in the battle
zone south Of the Scarpe, the exploit
tation of the advances north of Per-
onne and the steady bombardment
from the British cannon are all help
ing the general movement.
The foes retirement is being marked
by the usual destruction. for fires and
explosions are reported from various
sections. especially the area in front
of the Hindenburg line from the Ba-
paume- Cambria line southwark. where
the torch seems to have been freely
used
It looks as if the Germans here were
going behind the line. with its great
system of concrete dugouts and de-
fenses. They are not in the habit of
destroying where they mean TO stay,
and, besides, the crushing defeat they
suffered when the Droucourt- -Queant
line was smashed makes this ground
exceedingly difficult. if not danger
Gus to hold.
On the banks of the Somme, south
of Peronne. the enemy is manning his
machine guns and trench mOtars
strongly and firing heavily on the
crossings and their approaches. ap-
parently fearing a British attempt to

ENEMY MORALE.

Mr. Becker. deputy attorney general
of New York. who has had charge Of
the investigation against DR.. Rumely
and The Evening Mail, has recently
made public the fact that in the fall
of 1917 the series of articles printed
in the Mail concerning mutiny in the
German armies and probable revo-
luton in Germany itself were inspired
from German official sources.
The articles in the Mail, supposed
ly written by that newspapers special
correspondent in Europe, really came
from the Berlin foreign office by way
of Amsterdam. They were a tissue
OF falsehoods and were sent out in
the hope that they would be believed
in the United States and would result
in a slackening of our war prepara-
tions.
The world is being flooded viii
similar stories today. German Off
GERS who are captured by the Englisf
and French are telling stories abou
the broken morale of their troops an'
about having to shoot some of thei
( men in order to make the others g
up to the front. These stories woul'
be important if true. but they ar
eloquently contradicted by the fac
that the German machine gunner
who are left in exposed positions, wit
instructions to tight to the last an
so delay the allied advance, are obey
ing those instructions TO the lette
Most Of them. according to French OIL
fcial announcements. refuse to b
captured and fight on until the las
r. man is killed
If there were mutiny in the Germa
ranks it is certainly unlikely tn;
German officers would reveal thi
fact to their captors. These stori'
are probably given out to gain tin
and in the hope that if they are b.
lieved the United States will not e.

BRITISH VICTORY CAUSE OF
POPULAR JOY IN LONDON

The sensational breaking of the fa-
nous Drocourt-Queant switchline
after a series of important allied adj
vances with great captures Of men
and material has made an immense
impression in London The eXpecta-
ton is general that the enemy will
make the most desperate efforts to re-
cover the position. since the blow is
regarded as one of the worst disasters
inflicted upon the German during the
whole war.
The belief is general that the
switchline is the main system of Ger
man defense and that there is nothing
equally strong behind it. Conse-
quently its loss. if it becomes final
opens the widest possibilities.
Its loss would involve the evacua-
ton of the French coal field. perhaps
even of the Flanders coast says the
Mail, "and would imperil the German
hold on Douai. Valenciennes and Cam
brai, which are essential to linden
burg for maneuvering his armies The
switchline is thus the pivot of the
whole German front and its breach
means that we have forced the enemy
to a struggle of man against man
which he had used all of his ingenuity
to avoid"
