NOTHING SPARED BY PIRATES
Policy of Wrecking Every City
in France Apparent.
Wholesale Destruction Comes
in Face of Peace Plea.

Washington, Oct. 11.-German SOL
diers and sailors are engaged in new
era of frightfulness of destruction as
they see sdefeat staring them in the
face This was evidenced today by ac-
counts of the brutal murder of men
from the United States cargo carrier
= Ticonderoga.
The counterpart of this inhuman
slaughter is found in the wantonness
with which the retreating Germans
are wrecking their way out of France
and Belgium. Nothing is spared. Hin
denburg is believed to be bent on
creating desert insofar as he can,
Just as he made a desert farther west
earlier in the war. Fruit trees, houses,
whole towns-everything to which the
Germans can apply dynamite or fire
before the allies overtake them-are
being destroyed before the 'eastbound
hordes.
Military authorities are at a loss to
understand such insane actions and
attribute them to the complete break
down of reason under the ravages of
defeats.
A Titanic Bluckmail.
Paris, Oct. 1.-THE Huns are at
tempting a titanic blacRmail against
France
Officers recently taken prisoners de-
raze northern France as completely as
they did the section over which they
retreated from the Somme. They in
innate that General Ludendorff plans
to make the country such a complete
desert that the advancing allies will
be unable to live in it.
But the most sinister purpose be-
lieved to be behind the threat is the
hope to create in France a sentiment
favoring stoppage of the war. a
means of saving the historic cities and
towns of France and Belgium from
sacking. burning and dynamiting.
The slow mines now wrecking Cam
brai, have sent q wave of rage thru
out the country. The Germans have
made another blunder in the psychol-
ogy of people.

Disorganize Enemy.
Describing the operations at the
front during the past few days. Gen
eral March said the Ang1o-American
drive between st. Quentin and Cam

ance and resulted in at least tempor-
ary disorganization in the German
ranks. On the first day the whole
average depth of three miles followed
on Wednesday by a six mile orive on
35-mile front with the French troops
carrying the southern end of the line.
A total of fourteen miles in three days

Capture Many Huns.
From September 1 to 80. March
said, the allied armies captured 2,s44

more than 10000 machine guns.
From July 13 to September IS, they
captured 24S.494 men, 3,699 guns and
vast quantities of other weapons
These figures do not include captures
