British Are Using
Half the Divisions
Employed BY Foe

BRITISH FRONT IN FRANCE,
Aug. 27.--It seems useless trying to
cope with the ridiculous falsehoods
of the German communiques and
with the absurd talk of thei rheroic
infantry, but we know these troops
surrender to our men like sheep and
rejoice openly in the fact that they
have been able to be taken prisoner.
In all recent fighting the British
have used about one-half the num-
Der of divisions which the Germans
have pitted against them, and yet
they have the effrontery to talk Of
British massed attacks breaking
down before their gun and machine
gun fire. They tell Of havoc their
airplanes have wrought on con
'gested roads behind the battle lines.
and on the infantry moving up from
reserve; while day by day other cor
respondents besides myself Tell Of
our peaceful walks about the battle
fields and of motoring into villages
which the enemy had just left. We
never see those airplanes or the aw-
full havoc they make along the roads,
The German high command may
calculate that somewhere their
stories may lessen the humiliation
of their reverses, in neutral minds
but it seems fairly evident that the
world must understand them for
what they are worth.

Modest William.

Among recent utterances of the
kaiser We're these:
AS | look upon myself as an in
strument of the Lord, l am indifferent
to the point of view of the present
day.
The king holds his power by the
grace of God, to whom alone he is re-
sponsible. He chooses his own path
and only decides his actions from this
point of view.
There is only one master in this
country l am he, and will not toll
crate another.
There is only one law-my law-the
law which l myself lay down.
The foreigner has learned the con-
sequences of offending the German
emperor.
1t is the soldier and the army, not
parliamentary majorities and votes,
that have welded the German empire
together.
We are now in a position to raise
the visor of our helmet and to look
with the fearless eyes of a courageous
German at any one who may block
the path we have mapped out for our
selves.
