German Losses.

The wastage of men in the German
army must be enormous An American
officer familiar with the situation, stated
the other day on his return from the
front that the Germans must have lost
all of 800, 600 men III killed, wounded and
missing in the recent attack. On April
9Th the Germans attacked with 200, 00o
men on front little less than ten miles
in length. This was about IL men to a
ward. The next day they used $50, 600
men in mass formation on a front about
the same length This was about nine
men to every yard.
When we stop to consider that these
men are advancing in the open, over
country entirely devastated and devoid
or trees. buildings or shelter Of any kind;
that they are subjected TO the intensive
shell fire of the Allied guns, to lnumer
>abie machine guns firing at the rate of
1870 shots a minnie, to rifle fire and hand
grenades, it is not "a be wondered at that
the German losses are heavy. If they
are not equal to what the American off
Ger claims they were it is nothing short
of miraculous
The Germans cannot tight otherwise
than in mass formation. They are driven
like dumb cattle to the slaughter. Their
officers do not lead them, they remain
behind with drawn reyoVers and drive
them into the tight When the drivers
fall or run the lighting ceases The in
dividualism of these soldiers amounts to
nothing They could never hold a line
spread out as are the British and the
French. each man his own general, light
ing in his own way, and standing at his
post until the last man is down. Where
circumstances admit of attacks iAmass
formations the Germans are formidable
foes When the fighting depends upon
the initiative of the individual soldier
they are at great DISADVANTAGE
In the American army every soldier
knows what he is fighting for; what he is
expected to do, and he does it regardless
Of whether there are officers with him or
not. In this war, and all the others In
which our men have taken part, there
have been lnumerable instances where
troops have had all their officers Killed,
where regiments have been left IN the
command of captains and companies
commanded by corporals and the units
have fought on, sometimes against hope
less odds, with never thought OF run
ming away. 1t is this very thing which
will eventually result in winning tins
war No American soldier has to be
driven into battle by officers with drawn
revolvers at his back. On the contrary,
the officers sometimes have to use threats
to hold them in check when the foe is in
sight The German method of fighting,
while it may seem effective for brief
space of time, cannot long be employed
| because there are not enough men IN
, GERMANY to make it. poSSibe If what
! many people say is true, that the only
, way to end this war is to kill all the Ger
mans it is possible to kill, the Kaiser and
his generals are helping bring the war
nearer to an end by the way in which
they are assisting the Allies in extermi-
mating German soldiers. SHORTHAND Press.

MAY TAKE CIVIL SERVICE EXAM
NATION WHEREVER GIVEN.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., April Is, 1913.
The United States Civil Service Com
mission announces that on March q,
1918, the President approved Joint reso-
luton of Congress suspending, during
the period of the present war, the opera
ton of the provision of law which re-
CURED applicants for civil service exami-
nations to be examined in the State or
Territory in which they reside. During
the period of the war, therefore, appli-
cants for any examination held by the
Commission may be examined at any
place at which the examination is held,
regardless of their place of residence.
. An act of July 2, 1909, required exami-
nations to be taken in the State of resi-
dence. While this provision is suspended
for the period of the war, it is still re-
uuired that only those who have been
actually domiciled in the State or Terri
tory in which they reside for at least one
year previous to the examination may
become eligible for permanent appoint
ment to the apportioned departmental
service in Washington, d. c.
The Commission expects this change
to make it easier to obtain applicants for
positions in Washington. Competent
stenographers, typists, and bookkeepers
are in great demand. Examinations for
these positions are held weekly through
out the country. Representatives of the
Civil Service Commission at the post
offices in all cities are furnishing detailed
information and application blanks

Big Hotels Wheatless.

At a special meeting in Washington
500 leading hotel men from all parts OF
the country pledged themselves to abol-
ish absolutely the use of wheat products
until the next harvest, in order that
through their savings and their example
shipments of wheat to the Allies may
proceed without interruption.
''Most of US can play but small part
in winning this war;" Nh. Hoover told
the assembled hotel men in asking that
that they make still further sacrifices,
'and you and do not want to look into
the eyes of our children ten years hence
and say that we failed in our duty"
