Berlin Spreads Report
Of American Mutinies
Teutons' Spirits Kept Up by
Tales of Trouble in
Our Army

WASHINGTON, May 11.-A German
wireless message saying that grave in
subordination is daily occurrence in
American army training camps was
made public to-day by the State De-
partment as an illustration of the
lengths to which the German govern
ment is going in an effort to keep up
the spirits of the civil population.
The message, which was sent out
May 8, and which was given out by the
State Department without comment,
said:
-. According to information from
Christiania, Norwegians recently ar
rived from America say that grave
cases of INSTRUMENTATION occur daily
in American training camps. At first
breaches of discipline were punished
by death, but this was stopped owing
to the number of cases. In a particu-
larly fragrant instance all the soldiers
in camp acted collectively and OBJ
tanned not only immunity for the mutt
neers but punishment for all officers.
Furthermore, much damage to works
and material is being done"
German wireless messages are sent
out for circulation in neutral coun-
tries and for the information Of
German diplomatic representatives
abroad. Officials have no doubt that
the foregoing statement was given gem
eral circulation throughout Germany,
as well as in Austria Hungary.

Germans Bring Up
Fresh Divisions for
An1iens Blou,
(By The Associated Press)

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN
FRANCE, Friday. May 1o.-Grivesnes,
on the front below Amiens. where the
Germans suffered sharp local defeat
at the hands of the French yesterday,
was under a most severe bombardme mt
again to-day, but no infantry action
developed and the French organized
themselves in their newly captured po-
sition. Along the greater part of the
front military operations were confined
to small enterprises. The waiting at
titude of the Allies is expected to com
pei the enemy to show his hand very
shortly
The Germans have brought large
number of fresh divisions into the line
facing Amiens, indicating preparation
for action in that locality, but they
ginning an offensive. General Won
Bellows army remains quiescent in the
vicinity of Arras. Each time the
enemy has attempted to feel the
strength of the Allied forces recently,
either north or south of the Somme, he
has suffered severe setback, causing
him to hesitate to undertake a new
operation on large scale. He has
learned by hard experience that the
Allies are prepared.
sGeneral Foch's army is now absolute
ly unified, without distinction as to ma
tionality. 1t is fully acquainted with
German tactical methods and ready to
meet them.
ANY German operation having the
nature Of surprise is improbable, but
1T is felt the enemy must soon make
aapother effort to reach the objectives
Ter which he set out on March 81 and
thus far has not attained.

made since the war began.

Major Thaw has been cited several

on Thursday favored the British avia-
tors, according to an official statement
to-day dealing with air activities. and
twenty-seven German machines were

four tons of bombs were dropped on
different targets, including important
railway stations at Tournay, Marcoinp.
Chaulnes and Cambrai and billets at
Carvin, Peronne and Chipilly and the

air was more or less continuous and it
was particularly fierce toward dusk.
twenty seven German machines
were downed, twelve were driven down
out OF control and four hostile obser-
our machines are missing.
During the night four and one-half
tons of bombs were dropped on the
docks and at the entrance of the canal
at Ostend and three and one-half tons
on Peronne, Chaulnes and Bapaume. All
Of the machines returned"
Another official statement dealing
with aerial operations, issued tonight.
reads:
"Low clouds and mist prevented fly-

hour the weather cleared on a small
part of the front, and great aerial
activity took place in this sector until
dark.
"Over fourteen tons of bombs were
dropped on Peronne, Bapaume, Thielt,
Douai, Zeebrugge and the docks at

Hostile scouts were very active and
made repeated attacks on our bombing

LONDON, May 11.-Sccretary Bakers
statement that more than 100000 men

describes Americas effort as a won

says that when Secretary Bakers an

1906, 900 Shells
| Fired at British BY.
Foe in hree Hours

tCorrespondenee Of The Associated Press)
sBERNE, April 2l.--German batteries
before the great assault on the British
front on March 81 fred almost three
times as many shells in three hours as
the Germans fred in the entire Franco
Prussian War.
A German staff officer has informed
SWISS newspaper that the German
artiilery used more than 10000
smells during the three hours bonn
Dardment preceding the attack. This
rs over $500 a minute, or, estimated on
a front OF fifty miles, about 160 a
minute per mile.
The total number Of shells used bv
Germany in the war of 1870 was about
650.000. 1~Ns

PARIS, May 11.-Thomas Buffun, Of
New York, and Donald. E. Stone, Of
Mexico, N. Y, both members of the La

Stone probably is prisoner in Ger

man lines after fight in which nine
French airplanes and thirteen German
machines were engaged.

move has thus far been conceded,
was still holding his hand.
Last evening French poilus
stormed and occupied a pile of brick
which once was the hamlet Of Bou-
looze, just south of Scherpenberg
Hill, and they also smashed the Ger
mans out of Boulcoze Cabaret, near
by. But an enemy counter attack
during the night seems to have forced
the French to retire to their pre-
vious line. Boulooze is on compara-
lively high ground, which has been
hotly contested in recent days.
The French this morning initiated
local operation on little stream
known as Vyverbeek, which empties
into the southern end Of Dickebusch
Lake, but according to the latest
reports no decision had been
reached in this engagement.
1t seems passing strange that the
enemy has not made any big drive
before this, and it will be stranger
still if many days pass without q
renewal of the offensive. There is
no doubt that the Germans are anx-
ious to begin operations as soon as
possible, and the delay-if such it
may be termed-indicated the
probability of an extensive push
being in preparation.
The completion of the enemy
plans undoubtedly has been ham,
pered greatly by the excellent coun-
ter work of the Allies, particularly
in the aviation and artillery
branches But even this could hardly
hold back an attack indefinitely.
There are many signs that point to
another violent attack, such as ush-
cred in the offensive Of March 21,
and a large part of the battlefront
could be involved, if what seems to
be the present plans of the Germans
were put into execution.
rhe Germans have recently made
some most extravagant claims in
their wireless dispatches regarding
the British casualties, it being as
serted that enormous losses" had
been suffered by the various British
units on the Lys and Somme battle
fields.
1t is now possible to give the
losses of few of the units referred
to. Here are some typical instances
of allegations made by the enemy.
The German statement asserted that
the Seth Division was "almost COM
pletely wiped out" This division
lost 43 officers and 1,425 of other
ranks.
The 5th Berkshire Regiment was,
according to the Germans, "an-
initiated" The Berkshires' cas-
ualties were Is officers and 300 of
other ranks.
Berlin asserted that the 23d
Royal Fusiliers Regiment was
"among the regiments which have
suffered most heavily" This unit
lost S officers and $50 Of other ranks.
The 4th Yorkshires, Berlin as
serted, 9'were captured almost COM
plete." The Yorkshres had 191 men
missing.
