Capt. Voight Who Made
Whole World Laugh at
German Army is Dead

AMSTERDAM, March (Corres
pondence Of the Associated Press).-
William Voight, shoemaker. who
caused the whole world to laugh al
the expense of German militarism by
his escapade at Coepenick, In 1906, Ii
dead according to an announcement
made In Berlin.
In October, 1905, a man in the uni
form of captain Of grenadiers, re.
cruited a detachment Of twelve men In
the streets Of Berlin through a forged
military order.
At the head Of the men. the cap
tain,' who was Voight, went to Coe'
penick, a small town near Berlin
There he arrested the burgomaster
and the treasurer OF the town and
took possession of funds amounting to
about $1,000.
The trick was soon discovered and
Voight in December was sentenced to
four years imprisonment. In August,
1908, he was pardoned by Emperor
William, and in March. 1910, he went
to the United States, where he visited
Chicago and New York. His deporta-
tion was ordered from Washington and
in April he was sent out of the United
States.
After he was sentenced to prison, a
Frau Werthem of Berlin, offered to
pay him an annuity. This was accept
ed by Voight but last month he was
compelled to bring suit for unpaid
pensions.

Telling of the thrilling exploit of Lei

says:
"Ferzieres was held for a time by
two companies Of Leicestershires as
sisted by two tanks. The enemy kept
pressing them back, however. and one
company was completely cut of. In
stead Of surrendering, they held to the
village until only few men were left.

Teutons Deride Ability
of u. S. Troops to Fight

LONDON. March 25-A dispatch
from The Hague says German special
correspondents on the western front
are repeating the methods they have
employed in the early days Of the war
in regard to British troops. in their
reports Of the character Of American
soldiers DR.. Osborne. the Vossische
Zeitung's special correspondent, says
German troops take the appearance of
this new opponent quite calmly.
Wherever one goes" he says, "our
men describe the Americans as physi-
cally efficient, young. wll equipped
lads, who. however, lack the expert
ence OF the sharper forms Of western
front fighting. Infantry salvos and
machine gun fire promptly scare them
back, to say nothing of artillery bar
rage, which completely confuses them.
Our men perceive the essential nature
Of these opponents.
"They describe them as skilifui and
bold sportsmen. but by no means SOL
diers in our sense and such as modern
warfare demands. Our men do not
underestimate the enemy from the
new world, but they feel themselves in
every sense their military superiors."

adds: I've may be cutie certain that

Commenting on the results of the
German offensive, the Daily Chronicle
saws:
Assuming that the German losses
are at least $50 900. the enemy has
sustained reverse for he has not OBJ
tanned a strategicaI success directly

lost s or 10 percent of his electives

This matter is of the greatest i'm
portance, for Germany at present is
at the critical moment when the man.
power pendulum is swinging in favor
Of the allies. No weakness at the
Anglo-French junction has yet been
disclosed and the task before the en-
envy in the next days of the battle is
more formidable than that already
