of pillage and burning, In which they

The evidence that the Czecho-Slo-

Count Czernin, Austro-H hungarian

Clemenceau, placed the responsibility
for the bare Ukrainian cupboard on
the shoulders of the Czecho-Slovaks.

Washington.-Amid the many easy
triumphs which enabled the Teutons
this year to slice great sections from
the map Of Russia, like coupons from
a bond. Germany and Austria both suf.
fered one frightful disappointment.
And the pang was in the weakest part
of their political anatomy-the eollec-

The grain Of which the two kaisers
expected to plumber the Ukraine was
not there-at least there was so little
of 1t that Germany had to lower her
bread ration, while Austria continued
to starve q bit more rapidly. The sup
plies had been burned.
These fires were lighted, with a kind
of poetic justice, by the remnants OF
the Czecho-SIovak army-deserters
from the Austrian ranks and invet-

had been reconstructed into Russian
military units under the Kerensky

Russia before the whole nation col

SHARK RIVER is
BASE FOR NAVY
Governor Edge Writes to
Washington About Use of In
let During HoStiIities.

BY Special Correspondents.
TRENTON, Aug. e:-Asserting thai
there are certain characteristics OF
Shark river inlet which may ave es-
capped the fullest consideration of the
department, Governor Edge today sent
a letter to the United STATES Board OF
Engineers at the Wa Department In
Washington, urging full utilization Of
the inlet, which is located in Mon
mouth county, between the boroughs
of Belmar and Avon, in the interest of
national defense.
The executive called the attention of
the Board of Engineers to the fact
thai Shark river inlet is the only land
locked harbor between Atlantic High
lands and Barnegat bay, and, OF
course, q location by no means mac
cessible to a very large volume OF
foreign and coastwise shipping. He
declared that New Jersey has made an
Improvement at Shark river inlet and
the results are such that they give en-
couragement to the idea that with In
tensfve development of the inlet O har-
Dor of refuge could be created which
could be of considerable value to the
military needs of the country during
war. Two curving lines OF conceret
jetties converging seward have been
constructed. the governor continued in
his letter. At the western end they are
about 260 feet apart and at the eastern
end about gao feet. According to the
executive, before the construction of
these jetties the stream was aecus-
toned to swing at least 1000 feet to
the north of the boardwalk at Avon.
The construction OF the north Jetty,
he says, has confined 1t permanently
to a fixed location. During the two
years and upward that the inlet has
been open in its present position the
channel has been maintained of ample
depth for practically all types of pleas
ure boats and fishing dories. Mr.. Edge
declared.
"I realized that there are certain
difficulties TO the development of
Shark river inlet which Is characterize
tic of most inlets of the kind along the
coast" declared the Governor In con-
GLIDING his letter. "Chief among these
difficulties Is, as you OF course realize,
the activity and shifting qualities OF
the sand. As a consequence sand bar
distractions have appeared from time
to time off the inlet n naturally
there exists a wide difference OF
opinion both among engineers and
others as to the practicability of con-
structing a permanently useful har
Dor under such circumstances. How
ever. the accessibility OF the location,
the Improvements already made by the
State of New Jersey, and the posi-
biltty of the nation needing q port OF
refuge for a type of small draft boats
used for ~patrolling would seem tc
make It worth while to give the situ.
alton at Shark river inlet the benefit OF
the experience, study and expert OBJ
~servation of the War Department"

Enemy Soldiers
Are Despondent

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN
FRANCE, Aug. documents of
the most important character, indi-
eating that recent events have
brought about an extremely marked
state of depression in the German
army have fallen into the hands Of
the British. Most significant of all
papers is an extract from a German
officers diary in which he relates he
had been asked by the divisional head
quarters whether the troops in the
line favored peace or continuation
of the war, his answer being:
Immediate most decisive battle"
The entry was dated before the
German drive for the Marne began.
Hardly less important is letter
taken from a German prisoner. It
was written to him by another sta
toned along the Marne 1t reads:
you will be in the thick of it now.
Shlrk as much as you can. Do not

be stupid. We are risking out lives
only for big victories. Now we are
taking the offensive on the Marine
and we will never get out of this mess
at all. Our regiment has been nearly
wiped out and we have not pushed
far. The war is becoming greater
massacre than ever. What is going
to happen, don't know. Germany
is slowly crumbling to pieces"
Another prisoner just captured on
the British front says that the Off
cial figures show that 10000 Of his
comrades were made prisoners in the
Champagne fighting, but that rumor
along this front is that 10000 Ger
mans and guns were lost.
Adding to the gloom Of his division,
which realizes that Germany has suf-
fered a great defeat, the prisoner
said the food given the men was very
poor. He said that poor rations had
been especially noticeable for the last
three months. The only time that
good food is served, he said, is before
the Germans are to participate in an
offensive.

LETTERS FROM OUR YOUNG FOLKS
NTHE WAR ZONE

an extract from one letter which
touches a phase Of it we do not all
realize:
"Of course, we had to have all our
portfolios closed at night on account
of submarines. With four in each
stateroom, you can imagine how we
loved to go to bed! Never was / so
glad to have air as the night we land
ed. If you are planning to come
over, don't plan to wear warm clothes
on the steamer at night. You will
wear the thinnest thing you possess,
and have nothing but a sheet over
you, and then you'll roast.
"0f course, the decks are in pitch
darkness; so few go out except the
young and foolish, who blindly grope
their way to chairs and the act out
the play of life"
1t is rather nice to feel that even
under these grim conditions there are
those who can be "young and fool
ish."

Another girl, working in a village
under reconstruction, has this to say
of her bed:

"We Americans never knew what
mud was till we came here. We go
about in rubber boots, but probably
no one knows what we have on our

caked with mud to be recognizable

By ELIZABETH JORDAN.

Our girls, as well as our boys, are
beginning to write home from the
war zone.
During their first months 'over
there" they were too busy to do this.
They were working eighteen hours a
day. Moreover, even when they did
scrawl hasty note to those at home
they wrote with a self-conscious eye
on the censor.
of course, they knew they were
not in much danger of breaking his
rules, which were we'll drilled into
them. But the knowledge that he
would read their letters checked the
free play Of their pens. The censor
liked short letters! They wrote short
letters.
The months have changed all that,
Perhaps the censor still likes short
letters. If he does, he must both
smile and sigh over some of the long,
intimate, girlish letters that are com
ing from the front.
The girl war workers are getting
their second wind. Living within
sound of the guns, they have ceased
to fear the censor. They have ceased
to fear anything.
Homesiek Now.
Also they have shaken down theil
impressions. They have systematizeC
their work. They are ready and ablt
to ''tell the folks at home all about
it, Above all, the girls themselves
enthusiastic though they are over
their new work, are desperately
homesick. Across 5000 miles they
reach out for the old ties.
