The military forces OF the United
States are nearer the Rhine thar
any command of the allies and the
Rhine is separated from the ad-
vanced American posts by q dis
tance of only twenty miles. This
was disclosed yesterday by General
March In his Saturday talk with the
press. The military maps show
that II Is only about that distance
from Muehlhaus to the Watch on
the Rhine The nearest point OF
the allies and Americans from the
Rhine in the upper sectors is oppe-
site Coblentz, which Is about f2o
miles away from the allied ad-
vanced posts.
Having In mind. however. the
work that Is yet to be done by the
combined armies on the Western
front. General March spoke very
emphatically and informatively
about the necessity of having the
Americans in France in the full
numbers ,of which he had advised
Congress. He said:

For this purpose experience has

SHAKES UP HUN

Hindenburg, Again en- Top,
May Alter Policies
Profoundly.

Zurich. Aug. A-There has been a
grand shake-up IN the German high
command. That much Is known here.
Its extent and effects are guesswork.
Ever anxious to keep the slightest in
ternal trouble from the knowledge
OF the outside world, the Berlin csu-
sor Is working his blue pencil over
time in frantic endeavor to cover up
the great house cleaning" that wss
precipated by the Marne fiasco and
intensified and extended after the co.,
lapse of the German Picardy wedge.
One thing seems certain-Hinden-
burg Is back in the saddle.
That fact-if II is a fact-over-
shadows in importance the question
whether "crown prince jinx." as some
of the best-behaved neutral cartoon
lists have ventured to call Frederick
william ever since verdun. has &C.

dynastic reasons he remains nomiD-

under Ludendorff's regime that the
heir to the German throne thrived
The story goes that II was Fred
erick Williams Influence that lifted
Hindenburg's original amanuensis
to the throne OF military Caesar and
that Ludendorn as q matter OF
reciprocity had to give his young
patron a free hand even against
his better judgment.
But the question OF questions that
for the moment monopolizes the in
terest Of Europe's military observers
is: What will be Hindenburg's
new course?''
Defensive in the west" is the
answer suggested by nearly all the
foremost critics. All the world
knows that Hindenburg's maxim
from the outset Of the war has
been. attack in the East, hold out
in the West"
The sIimess Idea.

German Prisoners of War
By E. G. Ppp Copyright 1879

1t is impossible to get back of the
German lines to learn the composition
of the German army, but it is not i'm
possible to learn something Of that army.
This was done by seeing great many
men and boys from the army in prison
camps in England and France.
Not far from London there is camp
for German officers who have been capt
ured by the British AS we approached
this camp, we saw 40 men in the blue
gray uniform of Germany, marching
along the roadside for exercise. These
men were permitted to take the exercise
outside the guarded camp on their honor
to return and to make no trouble for the
three unarmed British officers who ac-
companied them. They lived up to this
pledge. Besides having given their word,
they must have realized that it would
be difficult to get out of England should
they attempt to make break for liberty.
They were not permitted, however, to
go near any city or village.
The Camp itself was surrounded by
barbed wire entanglements and watched
over by guards with rifles. There were
