Morale Is Deterioratins.

Theyresistance which the enemy has
been making on the west front has
varied greatly on different parts of
the hundredmiIe sector on which the
battle is raging. Some German di-
visions have been fighting with their
old-time determination, while others
have been surrendering very freely.
While 1t Is necessary to guard against
exaggerated expectations of a Ger
man collapse. it Is nevertheless true
that the fighting of the last month
has given definite evidence Of a no.
table deterioration in German morale.
There also is proof of increasing in
subordination and disobedience to or
ders, which is very significant in an
army bearing the reputation of the
German machine. Captured orders tell
of the refusal of new drafts to enter
the trenches. Others censure officers
for laxity in dealing with offenders.

Moral Effect Proved.

Moreover. the moral effect Of any
kind of retirement has been proved
to be very great on the German peo-
pie and armies. and the enemy's pres
ent intention is undoubtedly to make
a stand on some line well west Of
the Hindenburg line. If possible.
The Germans are watching a very
favorable line along the Ailette. Disc,
Somme and Tortille, but 1t remains to
be seen whether they will be per-
mitted to make a stand there, or even
carry out retirement according to
plan to this line without it being
broken somewhere else by the eager
allied forces.
The most important obstacle to the
German scheme at present is the re-
cent British advance on both sides of
the Scarpe. which is a serious fanking
threat to the whole Hindenburg po-
sition. The British are already al
most in contact with the famous Dre-
court-Queant switch running from
Queant to Lille.
1t is clear>the Germans cannot per-
nit the British to advance further
in this quarter without endangering
their whole plan for a gradual retire.

front since July Is now approach
10000 prisoners and 1000 guns. The
British captured more than $1,000

The total captures by the British
since August 8 exceed $1,000 officers

Der nearly 500. British military OBJ
servers say it is now clear that the
Germans intend to retire to a shorter
line on the western front, where they
can obtain better defensive positions
against the constantly repeated en-
tente allied blows and SO that the
enemy can economize his forces,
which has become an urgent necessity
on account of his lessening man
power.

BLACKLEG CAUSED BY GERMS

Blackleg is caused by a small germ,
