MORALE GERMAN ARMY MUCH
LOWER THAN EVER NOW

BY Carl Groat, Washington, Aug.
80 twenty to twenty-five thousand
constitute the Americans portion of
the great allied haul of lt2,0O0 ger
mans capturd since July list Esti-
mating the dead and wounded At three
timos the number captured, officers
believe the german casualties since
July lst viii reach half a million. AS
result the morale of the german
army is lower than ever. This is
proven by the increasingly large mum
her OF prisoners tho British have
taken, many surrondering willingly.
Tho War department is s riously
considering bringing the prisoners to
America, but as yet is undecided.

.SALccc'"'S FUN
 IN S...CnT TIM: Late Opening and Early Closing Schedule in Effect , in Hartford. BARI BINDERS LOSE JOBS. Marking Down the Business Hours From 1e to IA, Cutting Off Three
 in the Morning and Two at Night.
BAR BINDERS LOSE JOBS

Hartford.- d.-Saloons of this city went on their fuel conserving schedule, marking down the business hours Iroh 19 to II, cutting off three ill the morn- ing and two at night.
 Gone are the days when knight or the highways might doze ln an alley with the comforting assurance IlaI o n. m. would bring the healing balm oI "shot," for no tramp, however long his experience, can evade the arm or the law until o'clock. It simply lsn done There were many who stopped at the corner as usual early ill the day on their way to work. Closed doors and a darkened, empty barroom greet ed their habitual glad smiles at slgnt of the sign. And others to whom Work was fallacy and internal luDrlcatloh the immediate task at hand stood Ill the slush and waited, vaguely wonder ing if the "barkeep" had overslept ana deciding to remind him that his Dig Ben" needed the soothing influence o1 a garage. And when the "barkeeps did appear yawning prodigiously, with a fine disregard for time, they conven iently forgot to turn on the lights.
 The tide flowed forth with it's usua 1 deluge during the lay and early eve ming. Suddenly the lights went out "Ten o'clock. boys!' was the edict tha I dropped from the lips of each proprie tor. And out they filed, some disap pointed, but the majority resigned t' 1 the hardships of war time existence.
 It is probable that many of Hart I fords 15S retail liquor dealers will dis I pense with the services of one or tw' bartenders while the reduced hours ar II in force. Dealers will be asked by tn
 bartenders to lay off man for s many days each week, retaining hin however, in his present position. Tn Bartenders' Union will also conside the imposition of penalty upon men

corresponding defect, and the in
heritance Of liberty which gives
the American these fine character
istics also inclines to give him too
much freedom Of action and too
little respect for rules. Foreign
ers note that the American child
is self willed and badly governed
in his home. The child in schoO.
often pays only such respect to
school regulations as is absolutely
enforced upon him. The young
man or woman has often tenden-
cy to carry out his or her inclina-
ton without regard to the conven-
fences or rights Of other people.
Military discipline is a wonder
full corrective to this tendency.
The young man who has always
had very much his own way finds
himself in a condition Of life in
which the strictest obedience to
rules is enforced. He must rise
at a prescribed hour, put on the
uniform Of the army, and pass
the day in certain drills and du-
ties not of his own selection. He
must give instant and implicit
obedience to every command Of
his officers. This training can
not but help to have it's effect. At
ter the war is over the young
men Of this nation as a class will
have better understanding Of
law and order and more respect
for their enforcement than ever
before.
And what Of us who stay at
home? There is discipline for us
also. The government requests
that we should follow certain reg
ulations and make certain sacrifi-
ces for the sake Of the army in the
field. In some cases these ac-
tons and sacrifices are enforced
upon us and in some cases only
requested Of us. The discipline
Of the soldier comes from without.
Ours must in great part come from
within. Let us school ourselves to
follow will ngly and cheerfully
every command and request Of
the government, so that when our
boys come home and we take our
rightful pride and joy in their re
turn, we can feel that we too are
made stronger by our discipline
Of obedience and self-sacrifice.
