2oo,G00 HUNS TAKEN
BY ALLIES SINCE JULY
Big Number of Losses Skaters
Morale of Enemy.

Approximately 100000 Germans
have been captured by the French,
British and Americans since July
IS. according to authoritative infor-
nation received through official
French channels yesterday.
Let the number of killed and
wounded be added to that total" /"
says the Temps, and one can easily
understand the state of fatigue of
Of the enemy. a state which is re-
vealed more clearly every day by
official documents which bring out
the profound depression of the mo-
rale of the soldiers on one part, and
on the other the ferocious power
with which the high : command is
attempting to counteract it,"
These documents. il Is shown, por-
tray the panic of the Germans at
the never-ending appearance of
countless tanks at different points
Of their line. and also the willing
rcSs of infantry regiments to allow
chine gun and light artillery bat
1lions and companies to lead them
ITO battle. Says the dispatch:
How much longer will the iron
will Of the high command succeed
in keeping troops at their duties,
troops that are fatigued and dis
couraged by reverses which for
sixty-five days have been following
each other without intermission."

George Washington University will
be virtually under government con.
troll this year. due to the proposed
organization of a unit of the Stu
dents Army Trliuing Corps at the
institution. Practically the entire
curriculum will have to receive the
sanction of the War Department. and
the university win be under obliga-
tion to make such changes in the
courses as may be directed by the
military authorities
Military Discipline.
Military discipline will reign at the
university. All of the student SOL
diers will be uniformed and will be
required to live In quarters to be
furnished by the War Department
through the cooperation of the uni
yersity. They will have their tuition
paid by the government. will receive
their uniforms and equipment free.
will get free housing and subsistence.
and In addition will receive the pay
OF privates. They will be compelled
to attend specified classes to be held
at the university buildings and to
engage In military drill and physical
training. Their spare time will be
carefully supervised. and II is prob
able that the. 4rictest regulations
will be enfopced a ihc living quar-
ters. - ..
Student soldiers will be expected
to devote eleven hours a week to
theoretical and practical military
ipstruction and physical training.
They will be required to spend for
ty-two hours of work a week on lee
lures, recitations and laboratory in
struction on subjects allied to mill
tary instruction. two hours Of study
being counted as preparation for
each hour of lecture and recitation.
This curriculum will exact of the
student soldier only a very slight
bit more than Is required of the

HOOVER ISSUES
FOOD ESTIMATE
l7,550,0O0 Tons Needed
for Army During En-
suing Year.

Food Administrator Hoover. IN a
statement issued yesterday. figures
that with an army Of 100000 fighting
Americans in Europe we shall have
TO ship to them and to the entente
nations In the coming year 5.1D,W
more tons of foodstuffs than the H..
$4,000 tons shipped in the year ended
July last.
This can only be done through
economies and savings at home, ne
insists, but 1t should and must De
done II the war Is to be ended IN
1913. He points out. too. that this
saving Of food may mean also the
saving of a million American lives
that would be sacrificed IL the wal
were permitted to last throughout
1920.
In his appeal 10 the American public
for cooperation to these ends there
is no hint of rationing except a point
ing out of the means of avoiding 1t,
He says:
No Real victsry Until 1919.
There is no prospect OF a proper
ending of the war before the cam
paign of the summer of 1919. To at
tain victory we must place In France
3,5000oo fghting men with the great
Iest mechanical equipment that has
ever been given to any army. While
we expect the position on the West.
ern front may be improved, from q
military point of view, between now
and then. there can be no hope of a
consummation OF the end that We
must secure until another year has
gone by.
'Tf we are to accomplish this end
in 1919 we will save a million Ameri-
can lives that will be expended II we
have to continue until 1870. To give
this final blow in 1919 we have moi
only to find the men shipping and
equipment for this gigantic army, bu-
this army. the allied armies and the
allied civil population must have
ample food in the meantime IL we
are to maintain their strength. We
can do all theCe things and ] believe
we can bring this dreadful business
to an end IL every man, woman and
action every day and hour by the
one touchstone-does this or thai
contribute to winning the war;
The food program is no small
part Of this issue. To provide ships
for our army. we have not only to
build all that We can, but We must
have the help of allied shipping. In
order that the allies may provide
| this. they must take food ships from
the more distant markets and place
them upon the shorter run TO the
United States. We must decrease our
imports Of sugar. coffee and tropical
fruits.
Under these conditions. the demand
upon US is for larger supplies. The
conferences on food supply and ship
ping we have held in Europe enable
us to estimate our burden. Com
pared with previous years, the allied
civilians and armies, our own armies

Will BE CLASSIFIED.
From time to time the student-soi-

technical experts. such as engineers
chemists and doctors: sent to nom

corps for technician' training OF mill
tary value; or sent to cantonment
for duty with the troops as private.
These distributions will be made al
intervals determined by the needs OF
the service. 1t is impossible to fore
cast how long a student-soldier VIII
remain at the university; that matter
win be determined by his own apu-
tudes and by the needs of the service,
AS a general rule, students will not
be retained at the university after
those of similar age have been trans
ferred, although there will be excep-
tons in the Gaze of students engaged
n intensive technical studies of mill
tary value. .-
Gaps in the unit due to transfers
from time to time will be filled by the
admission of new students from high
schools and other secondary institu-
tions and by the transfer of men from
the depot brigades Of nearby camps.
