Short-Tail. rather sharply. mo, sir, I'm
just as active in winter as I am in sum-

you know, and without plenty OF food
I certainly would freeze"
But why haven't I seen you in

as puzzled as he felt.

that sleep all winter are to be found.

Less Need for Officers.

A captured document shows that a
plan has been projected to disband
the fourth company of every bat
talon which has fallen below $50
men. reducing the battalion to three
companies The advantage of this
plan, it is pointed out by German of
ficers. is that the arrangement would
result in lessened needs for officers.
Equipment and men will thus be
availa BILE to fill up the depleted units
which it is hoped to retain. although
the strength of trench companies has
fallen from sixty to fifty men.

Expatiate Their Crimes.

The statement says it is significant
that the, authors Of particularly afro
cious crimes have expiated them
speedily after their commission. 1t
says the names of such men are care
fully noted by the British admiralty,
and that special endeavors are made
to bring their active careers swiftly

Seven Divisions Disbanded.

At least seven German divisions
have been disbanded. so that the men
might be used to replace losses sus-
tanned during the summer campaign.
Some separate regiments have been
broken up also. Prisoners declare
that the practice of forming storm
battalions so weakened the infantry
regiments that it had to be given up.
The number of German divisions
classified as tested" it appears, has
dropped rapidly from eighty-three on
July Is until it stood at fifty on Au-
gust "a Twenty-Five of these di-
visions We're originally designated as
hrst-class. but only thirteen were so
designated on the August date. Seven
of these had only had two weeks rest
at that time. In many cases German
divisions have had to remain in the
line for long periods. and fully $50
of the first-line divisions have been
fighting continuously from two and
one-half to four months.

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN
FRANCE. September 5.-Long periods
of fighting without the slightest re-
spite, the humiliation of whole forma-
lions and the thorough hammerins
they have received have served to fix
the idea Of saving themselves fore
most in the minds of the German
troops. Every prisoner in his COM
ments on the great battle seems to
bear this out. Almost every diary and
every letter taken from Germans
killed show that the enemy troops on
the western front have suffered from
the long-continued fighting as never
before. A typical excerpt from an un-
posted letter says:
I'VE are in mortal danger every day.
We cannot last much longer. We can
not hope for further successes. Our
enemy is superior to US in numbers
and everything else. Victory now is
out Of the question"
Many letters end with the words,

Suffer From Depression.

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN
FRANCE, September S (by the Asso-
ciated Press).-Thousands of letters
taken from prisoners during recent en-
gagements show that the German army
is suffering even more from depression
and encouragement than from depleted
numbers.
In letters written home, both by Off
GERS and men, the expressions most re-
curing are 1--WE have been fooled" and
1--WE have been betrayed" A staff Off
Ger was quoted by one officer in a letter
as having said, Something is giving
way
Officers made prisoner generally
have seized upon the significance OF
the Intervention of the United States
in the war, admitting that they were
deceived regarding the possibility OF
the transportation of great Ameri-
can Army overseas. Only the younger
officers, who have had little experience
| in the war, maintained the air of ar
rogance and confidence that charac-
terized all the Germans a few months
ago. All the other prisoners are far
different from the captives taken pre-
vious to the July offensive. They are
tired and depressed and often dis
gruntled, sometimes positively hostile
to the German high command. Gener-
ally they have but single hope-that
Germany will be able to hold out on a
shortened line and compel the allies to
declare the war a draw.

DOSE ANT|-TyPHO|D
CLINIC WILL BE HELD FROM 8 TO

Administration of the second dose
of anti-typhoid serum to more than
100 persons who took the first does
last Tuesday will be given by DR.. e.
l.. Bishop, field representative of the
state board of health, Friday after
noon from 3 to 4 o'clock. The hours
had previously been set from ! to 4
O'Clock, but to avoid conflict with
the patriotic observance OF Liberty
Day next Friday, the time has been
set forward two hours, SO that all may
attend the celebration without inter-
ference. II all appear promptly at 3
o'clock the administration will be
completed in short time. To make
the work more speedy, DR.. Bishol will
be assisted by nurse from The
Kings Daughters Hospital. Y n
!, SO great has been the demand for
this anti-typhoid serum that DR..
Bishop has prevailed upon the state
board of health to provide him with
a sufficient quantity of the serum to
administer it to about 100 more per-
sons The next series of administra
tons will begin next Tuesday, April
&c. Three doses are required, and
the first dose is useless unless the
second and third are taken.
This serum is very expensive now
and it was only by special arrange
ments that it was secured from the
state board of health for this second
series. Ordinarily the charge for this
immunization is from $3.50 to $40 by
private physicians, but the local pro
fession has gladly sacrificed whatever
possibility of gain there might have
been in it for them and are cooper.

All persons who failed to take the
first dose last Tuesday will have an
opportunity to do so next Tuesday ii
they appear promptly at the county

"The Valley of the Giants"

DETER B. KYNE never before wrote
so good book as The Valley of the
Giants-and he has written at least four
books, including stories of the plucky and
amusing Cappy Kicks, San Fransico ship
owner. The Valley OF the Giants, like
Kyne's other tales, is written in straight
away style without any particular attempt
at literary art, but with lot of attention
to story telling-and living a story to
tell. 1t is full of action, has an engaging
love story and is centred about business
fight exciting from the start and thrilling
at the finish Thrilling before the finish;
but what we mean is that the tension
really grows all the way through the book.
The story, or so much of it as should be
outlined here, concerns California redwood
lumber lands. Some of the best of these
about SequOia, little city Of northern
California, are owned by the Cardigans,
father and son. Others are controlled by
Col. Seth Pennington, a mighty astute
business man who has no scruples to
make him play fair. The business feud be-
tween John Cardigan and Col. Pennington
is inherited by Johns son Bryce, and the
inheritance is immensely complicated by
the existence and presence of the Coloners
niece, Shirley Sumner. And somehow
Kyne has managed to keep about the story
a big breath of the redwoods We think
it comes from the air of his opening chap
ter blowing through the whole book. It's
q chapter that takes You in among the
giant trees and out into the open spaces,
lets you see a mans dream and a genera
tons magnificent opportunity. 1t fixes
atmosphere with the precision of Herges-
heimer and makes you wonder what chaps
like Kyne may not do one of these days.
Plenty Of humor, and good humor, in
this novel. Buck Ogilvy, the slangy young
engineer whose cooperation makes possible
Bryce Cardigan's final victory over Col.
Pennington, Is source of more than one
chuckle. You'll like The Valley of the
Giants; as yarn its topnotch. And
you'll perhaps reread the first chapter and
hope that Kyne will return from the war
10 write the big novel that's foreshadowed
there.
