GERMAN NEWSPAPERS
RIDICULE GEN. FOCH
Contain Many Contcpptuous Nei-
crcnccs 10 Americas Contribu- q,
ton 10 War
(By X WALTER }

LONDON, June An e1plaha-
ton Of the Asne offensive Is 10 be
found In German newspapers reach-
Ing London In these days. They are
fun Of disparaHng comment on
Fooh's reserves and contain many
contemptuous references TO Amer
ica's contribution.
Everything In the German papers
today is Inspiitd ana what IS most
obviously inspired is most probably
a lie. Putting this together with
what rs known about German con
rentrat!ons the last few weeks, II
may be concluded that the big o.
fenslve Of which Arras was to be
the center hsd to be postponed ow-
ing 10 German fear Of Foch's re
serves, and that the Aisne push was
a preventive measure.
This theory Is further supported
by the fact that. the Aisne sector
was also geographically and STRAIT
egically the most, vulnerable por-
ton Of the German line. British
divisions had appeared there ana
the enemy. counting upon the tenn
porary weakness OF any sector that
has recently been taken over by
TROOPS new to that part Of the line,
Judged the moment opportune Tor
his preventive offensive. Permd-
nent loss Of the Aisnei line would be
A serious obstacle to the allied Of
fenslve there. so seriOHs that one
may Judge by its surrender, and by
the absence Of strong reserves, that
British divisions had been put into
that point Of the line with some
purpose In any case nothing has
occurred up to the time Of writing
to suggest that the enemy's atten-
ton has been definitely turned away
from the allied citadel Of Arras
That still remains the key tsS~the
whole strategic situation and II he
desires a military decision he must
seek Il there and on n more exten-
slve scale than any offensive yet
undertaken.
Greater Offensive Necessary.
This will require literally the
whole Of his resources. He will have
no divisions to spare for thrusts
elsewhere. nor could he afford to
keen reserves to meet an allied
counter offensive starting from the

Washington, Aug. 27.-The German
people are being prepared for another
winter of war by Prussian ofaciais.
Admitting reverses on the field, they
are warning that this means more sac
rifces and fighting, according to diplo'
matte advices here.
Germany, however, continues to be
FESTIVE. Reports of strikes, dismay at
the growing size of the American
army, and widespread alarmist ru.
mors, are worrying officials, it Is indi'
Gated.
1T is true that the last operations
have not been attended with success
for what we had hoped" the Prussian
minister Of war is quoted in an inter
view in the Morgan Post.
1--WE have experienced some set
backs, and let US confess we suffered
q defeat at the front ever since the
beginning the possibilities Of check
have been admitted. But In the rear
such q reverse constitutes q warning,

1EUToNS LOSING HOPE
Hopeless Despair Prevails on the
German Battle Front.
British Capture Many Letters Show
in Soldiers Realize Defeat 10
Inevitable.

With the British Army in France,
Aug. 27.-Hopeless despair is begin.
ming to prevail on the German side of
the line, letters taken from prisoners
and dead soldiers indicate. One letter
written home by German stationed
in a town which has now been cap
tured said:
"The war has been lost for some
time, only those high up are failing to
admit It,"
The letter added: ooh, poor Ger.
many-only the dead at the front have
forgotten this swindle."
Another letter said: This cannot
last much longer" :
Still another German wrote: 49,
"Our losses from the battle exceed
all the drafts. Germany is sure to
lose very soon."
It is a fact that many letters taken
from prisoners, whether written by
them to be posted home or received by
them from civilians In the interior of
Germany, are in the same vein. One
German in Berlin chided his brother
at the front about making rapid
progress to the rear. He then pre-
dicted that the war was surely COM
ing to an end and that with the Allies
then making an economic war Ger
many would be ruined.
Many of these letters were written
before the British begun their drive.

Number of Austro-Hungarian
Troops Have Been Sent,
to Western Line.
PLANES RAID COMPLAINS
American Bombing Machines Drop
Forty Missiles on Railroad
Yards-ArtiIIery Destroys Foe
Ammunition Dump. ..

With the American Army in France,
Aug. 27.-Austro-Hun troops are
known to be located opposite certain
American positions. 1t is not known
positively whether they are in the line,
but they are known definitely to be
lying in reserve.
American bombing machines again
raided Contains, dropping forty bombs
on the railroad yards, despite the
heavy anti-craft fire. All the bursts
were well together at the east end OF
the yards, one causing big explo-
sion, though an ammunition car had
been hit. The northern edge Of the
round house also was struck.
German planes appeared as the
Americans completed their mission
and followed the Americans back to
their lines, but failed to engage them
in battle.
Foe Ammunition Blown Up.
With the American Army on the
Vesle Front, Aug. 27.-Several German
ammunition dumps north of the Vesle
river were blown up by high ex-
plosives from the American guns
This was the only notable incident in
the operations between Scissors and
Rheims, although the usual exchange
between the artilleries continued.
The destruction of the dumps was
made possible by aerial observation by
American aviators. The munitions
were located near Revillon and a bat
terry of long range guns began drop
wing shells at points indicted. The
observation posts soon afterward re.
ported great clouds of smoke from the
targets.
An indication of the lengths to which
Germany is going for war materials is
contained in a letter taken from a
dead soldier. 1t was written by his
wife and informed him that the great
bronze statute of Emperor William at
Luneberg, Pomerania, had been torn
down and sent to the foundry to be
converted into ordnance.
