OLD ENTHUSIASM NOW GONE
Prisoners in Striking Contrast TO
Those Captured During the British
Retreat of Last Spring.

British Army Headquarters The
demeanor OF hundreds OF German OF
fcers taken prisoner recently is II
striking contrast with the attitude oI
officers captured during the British
retreat last spring Then German
prisoners were arrogant and meant tC
crush the British TO earth, but now
they are depressed and very anxious
They appear very willing to talk and
the tenor of their conversation may
be summed up as follows:
They say Germany entered the war
with enthusiasm. but this has long
since disappeared and the struggle has
now become an economic one with
Great Britain.
They admit that Germany is in prac.
tically hopeless condition. both eco
nomically and from the man power
point OF view and ask whether Great
Britain cannot now consider Germany
sufficiently reduced to be no longer a
dangerous trade rival or whether the
allies intend to crush her altogether
Disappointment Plain.
In the latter case, they say, Ger,
many will be forced to fight TO the
last, but they make no effort TO con.
csal their impression OF what this
means for the fatherland They say
they believe there is every disposition
to eyacuate Belgium and northern
France and even negotiat the Alsace-
Lorraine question.
They are generally unanimous in
agreeing that annexations thus far
made in the Brest.Litovsk peace treaty
were a great mistake, but think they
cannot withdraw from Russia in the
present condition Of affairs there
They are aware that the American
army now has assumed very formid
able proportions and there is a gen,
eral admission OF the seriousness OF
this factor.
Sub Campaign Failure.
The submarine campaign they can.
not refer to without gestures of i'm.
patience.
Captured noncommissioned officers
attribute recent German defeats to
the inefiiciency of their air service and
more especially to the inexperience
and lack OF stamina OF the latest re.
cruits, who are most inadequately
drilled and trained and who are phys
ically incapable of sustaining the
heavy strain of defensive warfare. The
mere presence of these new recruits,
they say, produces in company do
moralizing effect upon the older men,
because it indicates to what straits
Germany must be reduced to employ
such poor material

with scintillating lines, such as only
Pinero can pen. Many or these bril-
liant passages are given to the artful
Sophy FullGarney. the manicurist,
played by Margaret Ellington. Sophy
is determined to trip the gay Lord
Quex and the scene where she mani
cures his nails in the hope of entrap-
ping him is one of the best written in
the play. Flattery is the chief weapon
Sophy employs, and Quex's vanity over
his youthful appearing middle age
seems to give her the desired opening.
The whole scene is an admirable ex-
ample of verbal fencing, the adroit
lord parrying the subtle attacks OF the
arch Sophy, who thinks that every
man who looks younger than /. his
years should be watched by the POI
lice" and that "the man who is young
er than he ought to be is always no
better than he should be-" These are
thrusts that almost cost the wary
Quex his presence Of mind.-Adver-
tisement.

Evangelist Leroy J. Mitchell Takes
Shot at Dancing and Gard
Playing Last
Night.

To an audience of more than five
hundred at the Trinity Methodist
church last night, Evangelist Mitchell
delivered red-hot lecture on the
evils Of the card table, the dance and
the theaters. For more than an hour
he held his audience spellhound as he
depicted the dangers of these social
evils. He insisted that the card games
in the private home were open ave-
nues to the gambling dens in the rear
end of the saloon or clubrooms. and
laid at the door of card playing church
members the fall and ruin of many
young men who have become profess
sional gamblers. The dance was de-
nounced in no uncertain terms as be-
ing the most dangerous Of all amuse-
ments, leading thousands away from
the paths of morality to the broad

way of open vice and shame. He said
that statistics proved conclusively that
seventy-ftve per cent OF the fallen
girls came to their sad condi-
ton through the agency Of the
dance hall, and that the position
OF man and woman on the dance
floor would not be tolerated by decent
society in any other place, and, fur
thermore, that anything which is ethic-
ally wrong Off the dance floor is eth
ically wrong on the dance floor.
The song service was an interesting
feature Of the service last night. Sew
eral new songs were sung with much
success by the large and enthusiastic
audience. A large delegation of juniors
delighted the people with their songs
and yells. A delegration from Ham
ilton, ILL.,, was also present, and also
people from practically all churches
in the city. These were all heartily
cheered. A number came forward
during the invitation.
Tonight there will be a delegation
of the Scandinavian people and Mr..
Lillenas will sing solo both in Nor
wegian and In Swedish for their bene-
tit.
MitcheIIarams.
Anything that is officially wrong
off the dance floor is ethically wrong

THE dance would soon go out of
commission If the hugging was elimi-
mated from it,

tween winning a plate that cost 81 at

People who get soundly converted

they have more pleasant and useful

Cards were invented to amuse an

years ago."
