German Troops Sleep
At Posts in Flanders
(By The Associated Press)

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN
FRANCE. July 17.-German troops in
some portions of the trenches in
Flanders have been so exhausted and
demoralizcd by constant British raids,
attacks and bombardments that many
OF them have fallen asleep at their
posts, not caring whether they are
killed or captured
An order issued to a Bavarian in
fantry regiment reveals a condition of
affairs which, up to this time, would
have been thought unbelievable in an
army notorious fos the strictness Of
It's discipline. The commanding officer
wrote on June 25:
"While making tour OF the line
this morning 7 came across complete
sections fast asleep in spite of its
being dawn and misty. These sections
had removed their equipment and had
not the faintest idea of the country,
OF dispositions, of their orders or Of
the troops on their fanks.
"Only yesterday | requested that all
men should be instructed on these
points and their particular duty ex-
planned to them. This is all the more
important, as only a few days ago
few men and light machine gun were
captured by a hostile patrol. This
state of affairs must not continue"
A good deal of activity continues be-
hind the German front, but the infan-
try has remained very quiet since the
beginning of the present German often
slve around Rheims. No attempt has
been made to recover, the ground lost
at Ridge Wood on Monday when the
British captured a total of SAL men and
seven officers.

On Marne Attempt
''Tageblatt'' Admits Vic
tory Is Not Complete;
Hints at New Attack

AMSTERDAM, July 18.-Comment in
the German press on the present Ger
man offensive on the Marne is in strong
contrast to the observations of Ger
man commentators on previous Ger
man offensives. The articles now are
characterized by singular restraint.
In the "Berliner Tageblatt' yester-
day, for instance, General Baron ven
Ardenne. after arguing that the En-
tente Allies did not expect the attack
where it actually took place, ard that
the laconic army communique did not
state whether the Germans were able
again to utilize the factor of surprise
adds:
1T will only be possible to perceive
the strategic intentions of the German
army command from the further course
of the battle"
General Won Ardennc also considers
it probable that the German attack
will not be confined to the sector near
Rheims.
"Victory yet is not complete" he
concludes.
The military critic of the "Deutsche
ageszeitung" says the only certainty
is that Field Marshal Won Hinde nburg
is again taking the initiative and that
the Entente Allies are being weakened.
"The Cologne Gazette" considers the
number of prisoners taken high one
when it is borne in mind that there
was no question of complete surprise
and that the Entente Allies did not
allow themselves to be outfanked or
cut off.
The military correspondent of the
"Vossische Zeitung" also refers to the
difficulty of utilizing the factor of sur
prise, without which," it adds, "suc-

bought stocks, and prices advanced as
the success of the Americans and the
Allied troops became more evident.
