MANY ARMY UNITS DANGEROUS
LY AFFECTED BY SPIRIT OF DE-
MOBILIZATION AND GENERAL
DISGUST WITH THE WAR

London, Sept. General demorali-
cation of the German population and
widespread and growing disaffeetion in
the German army, accompanied by
meeting and desertions are described in
a dispatch to the Daily Telegraph
from its Rotterdam correspondent un-
der date Of Thursday. The correspond
ent says that information reaching
him is so sensational as to inspire
skepticism, but declares that he has
received confederation from author
itative sources.
He asserts that the German army is
filled with dependency and seething
with a mutinous spirit, and alarming
outbreaks have occurred in several
units, principally Bavarian and Silesian.
One incident on the Arras front ter
minated in a whole Bavarian division
being disarmed and transported to Ba-
varia, where it was placed in pris-
on camp, and the mutiny of one of the
Silesian regiments resulting in nearly
100 of it's men being executed.
A huge number of desertions are
occurring, the correspondent says, and
IL IS estimated Iudb tiefe are hIoi Z
than 10000 deserters in Berlin alone
Large numbers are scattered through
out the country and the authorities
are having the greatest difficulty in
training deserters. owing to the con-
nivance of the working classes. New
ertheless. hundreds have been arrested
and generally thase have been SEN
fenced to IS years Imprisonment. a
great number of imprisoned deserters,
broken by solitary confinement have
been released and sent back to the
ranks.
Dfsobedience and defiance of officers
is common at the front, according to
the correspondents information. and
similar spirit is shown in the muni-
ton factories, where the workers de-
liberately are slowing up with the
result that the output has been SER
iously decreased.

country. His eldest son, Leopold

racy.
The other sons are, in the order

at Camp Shelby, and Bertram is at
Camp Johnston.

WAR SAVINGS STAMP
SALES SET RECORD
LATAH COUNTY CITIZ S
BOUGHT N RLY $4,000
WORTH IN PAST MONTH

Latah county has raised almost
one-third of its quota of $360,0OO for
war savings stamp purchases. Judge
Mofgareidge, postmaster of Moscow,
which office is the depository and
supply point for all post offices in
Latah county, reports sales of $45,-
078 in the county during the month
of July, which is nearly three times
larger than the best previous month,
June, which had broken all records
before that. This report does not
include more than $1,000 worth sold
by Moscow banks, nor does it include
any pledges. It is simply the report
of cash sales through the Moscow
post office.
This brings the total for the county
up to $104,818.77. If the remaining
months average with July the quota
will be reached before the end Of the
year. No genral driv was made until
July, and tn results for that month
have excelled the expectations of
those who had charge of the work.
Judge J. H. Forney is head of the
war savings stamp drive in Latah
county. He is cooperating with the
county council of defense, which sent
cards to all of the tax payers in the
county, apportioning the amount of
stamps each was supposed to buy.
Postmaster Morgareidge submitted
a statement to the county council of
defense showing the sales since De-
cember, 1917. The rport shows the
sales for each month as follows:
