THE HAGUE, Sept 7 tdelayed) Gen.
Arinande Won Ardenne. writing in the
Berlin Tooeblatt under the heading
The Crisis in the Battle of Nations in
the West says that Marshal Foch
doubtless Immediately will continue his
attacks Perhaps he will do 30 even in
sectors hitherto unaffected by the recent
battles The suspicious movement be-
tween the Meuse and the Moselle did not
remain unobserved by tho German army
command. That the attempt will revive
to get a grip on the German TANKS is
in the highest degree probable.
Gen. Won Ardenne says It would be a
fatal self-deception to be unwilling to
look the fact full In the face that the
German military power in the west is
now exposed to the severest test hitherto
imposed In the four years OF the war
The seriousness of the hour has been
mainly produced by numerical superb
GRITTY. which would be overwhelming IL
numbers alone decided a victory.
Marshal Foch now has between the
User and the Aisne 100 Franco British
divisions and about sixteen American
divisions. The number of the latter pre-
pared for fighting Is double that figure
and steadily increasing. Gen Won
Ardenne says. that in the tactical en-
ployment OF these forces Marshal Foch
observes the principle of repeated using
divisions in the fighting lines till they
are utterly burned out. but keeping in
tact the strongest possible reserves to
give the final stab to the stag surrounded
by a raging pack.

| THE HAGUE. Sept. 1.-Two hundred
and nfty severely wounded British pris-
oners arrived in Rotterdam recently
from Germany. Many were captured
in March, during the German offensive.
Their impression OF Germany Is that
the people now realize the inevitableness
of their defeat, some saying that the
Germans openly admitted this. One
man said a German soldier told him II
peace did not come this winter the Kali
ser would be shot.
All the Russians in the prison camps
are miserably treated and are In state
of starvation. So severe Is the treat
ment of the Russians by the Germans
that shooting Is a common occurrence.
Several Of the British came from Stral-
kowo, n province in Posen, where many
British are confined. About three weeks
ago they said, thirty American prisoners
arrived there.
Another bad camp is Crossen. on the
Oder. Two of the wounded men said
that when they first went to Crossen
In March there was none there except
Russians, many of whom died from Ill
treatment The same bad treatment,
they said. was accorded to lao British
who arrived there in April and to ten
Americans captured in May.
The prisoners were forced to work on
the railways. carrying heavy rails and
pushing trucks from six in the morning
until six in the evening. their food be-
ing ordinary German soup and one slice
Of bread. If they were not up in the
morning when the Germans wanted
them 70 work they were prodded with
bayonets and hit In the back with rifles
One man who was hit with the butt OF
rife was found dead in bed the next
morning.

CZECHS SWEEP EASTWARD.
Surprise "ReIief" Expedition by
Advance of 600 Miles.

Specid! cd6le Despatch TO The Sun from the
London Times .Serrice
Copyright, 1915; all rights reserved.
ELADIvosroK, Sept. 3 tdelayed) The
Czecho-Slovaks under Gen. Gaida have
made a great sweep eastward. Gen.
Diedrichs and his expeditionary force
had hardly reached the Manchurian
frontier. with the object of going to the
relief OF the hard pressed Czechs, when
to the surprise of every one the latter
arrived at Olovyanna. having pushed
through all opposition for 500 miles.
The Allies are as yet in the dark con-
corning the strength Of the enemy forces,
except 1t is surmised that a large num-
Der surrendered to Gen kiakhta Oh the
Mongolian frontier 1t is assumed here
that the enemy main force has retired
along the Amur railway via Srietinsk.
The extraordinary collapse Of the Ger
man prisoner forces comes us a great
surprise. II is obvious that their dis
covery of a great allied force, the
strength OF which they had no way Of
showing. in the Cssuri district had n
disheartening effect on them. They
probably felt that resistance on their
part would lead only to destruction.

DRY ZONES ARE ASSURED.
House Passes senate Measure ts
Protect War Plants.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 9.--Without a dis
senting vote the House passed to-day
after a few minutes consideration the
Senate resolution empowering the Presi-
dent to establish prohibition zones
around munition factories, mines. ship
yards and other war production plants
The resolution was reported by the
Rules Committee. with the information
that acting Secretary of War Crowell re-
garded its passage as urgently impor-
tant.
A brief hearing had been held earlier,
at which Representative Miller (Minn.)
told of conditions near Duluth. one Of
the first large cities in America to go
dry" Across the river from a steel
plant the town OF Oliver was organized
solely for booze purposes" he said. and
explained that this had demoralized con-
dtions nm the street car line running be-
tween Duluth and the munition works.
Full power Is given the President TO
establish dry zones when he deems nee
essary. and penalties OF $1,000 fine or
one years Imprisonment are provided
for violation Of his regulations.

ALLIES ARE GAINING
MILE BY MILE NOW


they took in their counter attack OF last
November, after our attack on Cambria
More noticeable than the contrast be-
tween this retreat and the one OF a year
ago is the difference between German
prospects now and then. At that time
the whole Of the German army and peo-
pie were flushed and confident Of VIC
tory. believing they had but to strike ono
more blow to end the war in their favor
Neither the people nor the army can
have any such decisions now, nor
dreams of n new and more successful
advance later. So badly does Germany
need men that incredible stories are told
of how her commanders are combing the
air force to get men for the infantry
ana infinitely worse than the conscious
ness OF numerical weakness must be
their knowledge that their last throw
has been made
German cavalry fighting as infantry
seems to be having a hard time. One
captured cavalryman said that his COM
parry was down to twenty-five men and
that adjoining infantry companies were
Gown to only eight or nine men each.
One cannot wonder at the discourage
ment voiced by prisoners. which rings in
every captured letter as the Germans
find themselves back in their old posi-
tlons, Win Ill tHelT glltterlnR hopes IN
ruins and forced to contrast their weak
ness with the almost untouched strength
of the great American Army. 1t is n
black and bitter winter the Germans
face.
North of Armentieres our advance con-
tinues, Armentieres. the Messines Ridge
and Passchendaele being practically all
that remain To the Germans of all their
conquests of the summer. This section
of our advance is generally contested by
machine gun fire and by more or less
stubborn rear guard action. At certain
points the enemy artillery Is also speak
ing. the gas Smelling being particularly
heavy In places.
East OF Ypres new Bavarian troops
have been brought into line and all in
dications point to the probability OF our
advance here being near an end unless
we diced to pay more than now appears
worth while.
Some time ago I quoted German
document which complained that Aus
tralian prisoners would not give up in
formation. We now have the same testi-
mony concerning the stubbornness of
Londoners, who apparently were excel
lently schooled In how they should be-
have in the event of capture.

of its captain and officers make such
stirring story of her oism that I wish
all the nation might know the splendid
way in which that huge transport met
and foiled the attempt to destroy It at
sea. The traditions of your service are
enriched by the conduct in this emer-
gency."
