GERMAN SOLDIERS
LEARN THE TRUTH
MORALE OF KAISER'S TROOPS
DECLINES WHEN THEY LEARN
AMERICAS STRENGTH

Reuters correspondent at
British headquarters in France, in a tele-
gram dated Monday at o:55 o'clock,
says:
"The ebbing of the German morale
from recent events has been noticably
fastened by the great influx of Ameri-
can troops. In this particular regard,
the German high command is paying the
penalty of concealment and misrepresen-
tation The appearance in the battle line
of powerful American forces and the
striking proof of their splendid fighting
qualities gives the lie direct to all Ger
man official bombast which no explain
ing can minimize. Moreover, it proves
the futility of the tall talk about the sue
cess of the German submarine warfare.
"Distrust is rife in the enemy ranks
and under such conditions the tendency
is to exaggerate their misfortunes. They
discredit Ludendorffs statements and
seem gloomy conscious that Germans
is suffering defeat and that the truth is
being concealed from them"

Washington, June 15.-The German
fleet is sending out alarms, two and
three times a week and sometimes of

allied fleet to belief that the TeGtons

With great clatter of wireless, the
big ships buzz back and forth in the

fleet picks these up and can distinguish
between the signals of battleships and

The result of these cons,ant alarms
is to keep the watchers keyed up to an

American craft now operating in Eu-

part if any sea action does eventually
develop. Hindenburg is understood to be
still pressing his colleagues to under,
