Desertions Are Heavy.
huge number of assertions are
occurring, the correspondent says, and
1t Is estimated that there are more
than 10000 deserters in Berlin alone.
Large numbers are scattered
throughout the country and the author
tiles are having the greatest difficulty
In trailing deserters owing to the con-
nivance of the working classes. Never
theless hundreds have been arrested
and generally these have been SEN
fenced to 15 years Imprisonment. A
great number Of imprisoned deserters,
broken by solitary confinement, have
been released and sent back to the
ranks.
Disobedience and defiance Of officers
is common at the front, according to
the correspondents information. and
similar spirit Is shown in the munition
factories, where the workers deliber.
ately are slowing up, with the result
that the output has been seriously de-
creased.
Heavy Cannonadlna Heard.
ut was reported from various places
on the Danish and Norgegian coasts
three weeks ago that heavy cannonad-
ing was heard from the North sea-"
says dispatch from Christiania to the
Times. "a few days later the bodies
of German marin were washed up,
most of them on the coast Of Jutland,
but no fighting was reported on either
the British or German side.
So there was much speculation about
these floating corpses, which bore life
belts with the figures and initials Of
two different German torpedo boats.
An explanation is now given by the
Aftenposts correspondent at Copen-
hagen, who says report was received
yesterday from across the German
frontier of n recent mutiny. German
navy crews refused to go aboard the
U-boats to which they belong, and
seizing four torpedo boats set course
for Norway.
They were overtaken by a German
warship and a regular fight ensued.
with the result that at least two tor
pedo boats were sunk and the crews

To the Editor
It is the consensus Of opinion that
some steps should be taken by those in
authority to see that the young men
Of this and other cities either go to
work or be compelled 10 join the service.
At the present time every Industrial
concern is feeling the strain occasioned
by the lack of help. This is also the
case throughout the mercantile trade.
Yet not day passes that our streets
are not filled with young men who are
doing absolutely nothing toward helping
to win the war.
Just watch the crowds that pour out
of the continuous performance and NOV
ing picture shows and the truth Of this
statement will he apparent In the busy
side streets and ON thoroughfares can
be seen gatherings Of young men and
boys whose nightly occupation consists
of rolling the worries, or what is better
known as shooting craps. They sleep
during the day time such parasites
should be gathered in and compelled to
work or join the colors. No one. native
born or alien. should be allowed to waste
time at such momentous period.
