my dear Mr. DAWSON. The pratt
cal entire exhaustion of cloths, cloth
ing shoes and leather in occupied
Belgium and northern France, and
the shortage of these necessities in
the worlds markets, are making it
increasingly difficult for the commits

clothed and shod the unfortunate
people of these occupied territories
In addition to new material, we need
gifts of used and surplus clothing
and shoes, blankets, flannel, cloth,
etc. in large quantities fro mthe peo-
pie of the United States"
Mr.. Dawson replied:

FOUND WOUNDED
100 GERMANS TAKEN N SUBURB
Idea Given Of Heavy Losses In the
Offensive Begun July 1s Is Found
In Documents Captured

3 With the American Army on the
vesle Front. Aug. 10.--Three vicious
but Intellectual thrusts were made
last night and today by the Germans
against the line west of Rheims. The
net result was q smart repulse By
the French, against whom the most
determined attack was made, ana
the inclusion Of Fismette. the north
ern suburb Of Fismes in the Ameri-
can line. in addition to about 100
prisoners.
Throughout the night and day the
operations In the Soissons- Rheims
sector we're characterized mostly By
artillery fire. in which the Germans
shifted their long-range guns from
time to time to reach villages and
roads which they themselves travers-
cd week ago.
Cloudiness continued to interfere
with aerial operations. although both
sides were buster than during the
past few days. Two German planes
were brought down by the Ameri-
cans. T
The occupation Of the northern
suburb, separated from Fismes by
the vesle, took place after terrific
artillery bombardment which was
begun yesterday. The village was
virtually reduced when the order to
advance was given today. 1t was
there the hundred prisoners were
taken.
The Americans rushed over the
river, leaping, running and crawling
across on the debris Of heavy
bridge which was blown up by the
Germans, its piers and other timbers
so falling. however, as to make the
ruins available.
In the village rather weak re-
sistance was encountered. The Ger
man force which had been left there
had been unable to retreat to their
own lines because of the heavy ar
tillery fire, and when brought in to
the American lines the majority were
wounded.
An idea of the heavy losses suf-
fered by the Germans in the fighting
in the Marne pocket is given by doc
uments taken from German prisoners
since the allied offensive began on
July is.
One regiment lost one-third Of its
effectives in one day. other units
were reduced by one-half in the
fighting up to July 30. Prisoners say
the 39Oth regiment lost from so to
10 per cent of its effectives in three
days.

HUNS TRAIN TROOPS
T0DEFEND HOME SOIL

With the American Army, Aug. 8.
From sections OF the German army
there are being drawn certain pro-
portion Of officers and sturdiest SOL
diers for the formation OF force OF
half q million. which is to receive
special training and have special or
ganization. There are to be no Poles
or Alsatians in this army, but only
fighters that the kaiser believes he
can trust to the last.
This German force Is not to be
used as a hammer in any new drive
for Paris. not be used in any blow
against the British, not to be used
TO punish Americans" But, ac-
cording to information reaching the
allied commanders, It is being form
ed for no other purpose than to stand
back Of the Rhine against an inva-
sion OF German soil. a
1t so happens that any allied ap-
proach upon the Rhine would be
through Alsace-Lorraine on large
part Of which the American forces
stand. 1t is this force the Ameri-
cans will face when with the French
we get ready ito take the war to
Germany"
Come what may between now and
that time. the kaiser wants to be
sure to have the force with which to
make stand for the fatherland and
himself.
With the formation OF such an
army for such purpose and at such
a time when the kaiser needs all the
available forces on the western front,
what could better show that the Ger
man high command realizes that the
tied Of war Is about to turn, II in
deed 1t has not already done so.
