on the subject IS the most striking
evidence that we could have OF the
moral OF the German army.
Moreover, be it noticed, the order
was issued on September 3. and events
which have occurred since that date
were by no means calculated to re-
move the cause OF those complaints
to which Ludendcrff refers. In fact.
It may safely be said that If discipline
was bad at the beginning Of the
month. it was considerably worse
when defeat came.
Dcserters Came to Allies.
This fact may be inferred from the
statements Of prisoners and also from
the increasing number OF deserters
who voluntarily surrendered to the
allies On the night Of Thursday.
September &c. for instance, a party OF
three officers and 104 other ranks
from a German division west OF St
Quentin deserted to the British troops
in that sector.
It is clear. therefore, that It took
something more than a verbose order
with threats OF punishment. composed
by the commanderinchief himself. to
stop the rot" which set in through
out the German army It was this
subversion OF discipline in an army
which once boosted itself to have the
finest discipline OF any in the world
that was one OF the most important
fruits OF the allied victories.

Gradual Breakdown Of Morale Of German
Army And Dissatified Condition OF Men,
With Many Desertions, ForeshadolOed Defeat

7 ONDoN, Eng. Nov. sO.-The results
Il OF the recent allied victories on
the western front are not to be meas
ured by the number Of square miles
Of territory liberated from the enemy
or by the losses inflicted upon him in
men and material The effects go
deeper than that. Few armies could
stand up to a series OF smashing
blows without sustaining internal in
juries more permanent and more Sc
rious than the cuts and bruises that
are visible from without-and the
German army was not one Of those
armies.
IN fact, the evidence seems to show
that the allied successes Of the last
few months lowered the morale" Of
the German army and Of the German
people to a greater extent than would
have been thought possible in a ma
ton which has in the past been COM
pletely subservient to its authorities,
believing only what il is told by them
to believe.

OF bullets striking stones and OF men

Then the cars slipped down the lane
