Revolution Sparks
Flying Euen Thicker
In the German Arm,
(By The Associated Press)

BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN
FRANCE, Sept. 6.--Sparks of revolu-
ton seem to be flying even thicker in
certain parts of the German army
Numerous prisoners taken by the Brit
ish mention the distribution of paci-
fist and revolutionary pamphlets
among the troops.
One prisoner who recently had re-
turned from leave said that when in
the company of large number Of Ba-
varians he was shown revolutionary
pamphlets which he was told were be-
ing widely circulated. All the pam
phlets, he added, were violently anti
Prussian and appealed to the men to
refuse to fight.
1t was asserted that during the re-
cent fighting the commanding officer of
the 18TH Pioneer Battalion of the sd
Division was shot by his men when he
attempted to stop a panicstricken rush
from the trenches.
A battalion surgeon captured said all
the regimental officers he knew believed
that General Ludendorff would fight de-
laying actions until the Allied often
sives had died out, at the same time
saving his "elite divisions" for a
counte- stroke, preparations for which
now we're being made.

Germans Suppress

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-Nearly all

Wolff Bureau Blamed
For Present Break
In German Morale

LONDON, Sept. 6The German Of
tcial news agency, the Wolff Bureau, is
blamed by the Cologne Gazette" for
the manner in which the German peo-
pie have taken the defeat of the Teu-
tonic forces to heart. The Gazette"
complains that the Wolff Bureaus Of
iicial reports, instead Of allowing the
facts to speak for themselves, aroused
the impression, with their description
OF great German successes, that Ger
many's enemies never would be able
to recover from the terrific blows be-
ing dealt them, that they were ex-
haustcd and that it needed but one
supreme eXertion to accomplish their
utter defeat
The paper recalls, as further evil,
how the harvest was overestimated in
the first years of the war, how German
plies from Russia and the Ukraine and
on the U-boat war and. how "inventions
OF all sorts were trumpeted forth"
The "Gazette' quotes from a Wolff
Bureau dispatch of April 16, which
spoke of the enormous supplies of
clothing captured in Russia, Italy and
Northern France, and which repre-
sented the booty in rubber and copper
as sufficient to cover the German
army's requirements for a year.

mcnts have also ensued from the way

Germany's Belgian
Records Fill 2 Trains
Six Buildings in Spa Vacated
When Archives Are Moved
to Safer Place

GENEVA, Sept. 6.--The German
Great General Staff, which had been in
stalled in Spa, Belgium, for more than
a year and occupied six of the princi-
pal buildings of the city, was removed
Monday. Several hundred officers and
employees superintended the removal Of
all the military archives, including the
correspondence and orders Of General
Ludendorff, the German Crown Prince
and Grown Prince Rupprecht of Ba-
varia.
Two special trains were required to
bear away the huge volume of docu-
ments, which were heavily guarded.
The destination of the train is un-
known.
A dispatch from Amsterdam Tuesday
said that the German main headquar-
ters had been transferred to Verviers,
fourteen miles east of Liege, while on
Wednesday the correspondent of The
Associated Press with the American
army in France telegraphed that partial
confirmation had been given to report
that headquarters had been removed to

Gen. Semenof Follows Up
His Success IL, Siberia
(By The Associated Prcss)

HARDIN, Manchuria, Friday, Aug 30.
General Semenoff, at the head of
anti-Bolshevik forces in Siberia. is fol-
lowing up his success in capturing the
NBorgia station, on the Transsiberian
line, near the Manchurian-Tran
border, the Bolsheviki having failed to
destroy the bridge at that point. No
serious fighting is yet reported from
his operation, however.
According to advices here, it will be
impossible for the main force of the
Czecho-Slovaks to move in Manchuria
until sufficient troops are sent by the
Entente to hold the Khabarovsk front
against the Bolsheviki.
The Japanese authorities are exer-
cising strict control of the telegraph
communications, and news of what is
going on at the front is consequently
difficult to obtain.
A Red Gross train presented by the
Chinese Eastern Railway to the Ameri-
can Red Cross arrived in Harbin this
morning.

This proclamation says that along

daily. These leaflets speak of the good
treatment German prisoners receive

Some of the leaflets, according to
Won Hindenburg, read: "Your fight is
hopeless. America will cook your
goose. Your submarines are of no use.
We construct more ships than you sink.
Your trade is destroyed and we shall
cut off your raw materials after the
war; then Gcrmany's industries must
vanish. You shall never see your colo

"What are the facts ?" asks Won Hin
denburg "In the East we have forced

strong enough to do so despite the
Americans. But we Smust be strong
and united."
