Rear Guard Units Taken.

German reports that $4,000 prisoners
had been taken were regarded as not
at all impossible. The capture of GER
tain points on the first defensive sys-
tenn. probably was what made the Sec
tor of the line abandoned by the Brit
ish untenable and started the with
drawaL Presumably the $4,000 men
said by the Germans to have fallen into
their hands Friday, are included in their
new figure of $4,000 prisoners. The FIRST
captures undoubtedly were made when
the front lines were preached. The re-
mainder probably is composed of rear
guard units left in position to hold or
the enemy until the British withdrawal
under fire had been accomplished, then
to surrender.
The Germans themselves lost $4,000 or
more prisoners to the French and Brit
ish in the withdrawal on the Somme
alone, and a great number also were
taken in the retirement from the MAkaa,
during the first year of the war.

officials were hopeful that today's
reports would show clearly the Ger
man objective and steps to Offset it.
They are beginning to look for coun-
tors. Now that the Germans are SO
deeply involved in their enterprise in
the st. Quentin region, ii is thought
they could not spare large reserves
ing their own advance.
French official dispatches reaching
here yesterday represent the German
and Austrian press as taking varying
views of the offensive.
The German Munchener Neueste
Nachrichten is quoted as saying:
I'VE know from several months ex-
perience what II means for US and for
our enemies. This encounter is the
struggle for definite victory"
Austrian Press in DOUBT.
The Austrian Neue Freie Presse says:
mo one can predict with certainty
the results of the battle and its con-
sequences and this circumstance IN
capable of creating conditions for
peace in every sense
What will happen after the battle,
what will develop. what the future
holds in store cannot now be de-
termined"
The Arbeiter Zeitung. socialist organ
of Vienna, asks:
What can be the reason for the
strong language of the German MILL
tary leaders which contradicted so
openly that of Count Hertling? Natuf-
ally this reason; the German people
will not know. 1t suffices to tell them
that a new great feat of arms is to be
attempted in the west. And 1t is this
that millions of men are to be LED into

There was evidence that seemed to
bear out predictions that Germany was

UNSUITABLE BOAT
PLAN TO RECEIVE
DANIELS DISFAVOR

Secretary Of the Navy Daniels to-
day will receive a personal report
from W. L. Saunders on the progress
OF the 'unsinkable boat, which will
shortly be put into commission.
High navy officials deprecate Mr..
Saunders recent public statements in
regard to this vessel. and Il Is pos
sible that his enthusiasm for making
all the ships of the navy unsuitable
will diminish after the conference
with the head Of the navy.
These officials admit that the boat
is possible, but state that In this war.
where speed is one OF the greatest
factors. II is not advisable to spend
the great amount OF time necessary
OF change over the boats now in COM
mission. Six months at least is need
ed for the transformation, and our
needs and the needs of our allies can
not wait that long.
With these facts in view. these offl-
eials contend that the publicity of Mr..
Saunders at this time is inopportune,
and that the people OF this country
should not be led into thinking that
we are to defeat the U-boat campaign
by making all our naval vessels un
sinkable.

TAGGING MEADE

cry man at this camp will be num-
bered. This enormous undertaking
will be directed by Capt. Roscoe
Brown, who had charge OF the war
risk insurance campaign, which has
been brought to such a successful
conclusion.
By the numbering system, finally
adopted, the identity OF men will be
ssfesUarded, no matter what the for
tunes OF war may have in store for
them There is to be no repetition
OF the oversight by which it was i'm
possible TO check up promptly the
found and missing from the Tuscanis.
The tags. which every man will
wear, will bear their names, their
number, and their unit. Each man
will have on at all times two tags.
The lack OF tags has already caused
some difficulty for the military po-
lice. Soldiers carry little about In
their pockets that Identifies them.
One who was cutting up wild capers

some time after he had been taken to

The Importance OF tagging Is now
thoroughly recognized and regarded
as urgent. Captain Brown has about
him e little organization that will
probably put through the whole
scheme with little delay. The first
tag here is No. ] ZOO, 900. After check

definite investigation of coal condI- tions is planned by the senate manu- facturers' committee. The senate military committee tomorrow will start inquiries into alleged delayed transmission of army reports. It took today an inquiry into the war depart ments demobilization plans.
 The first general legislation to come up at this session will be the committee plans to report Thursday. Republican members decided today to file a minority report opposing the plan to fix 1920 taxes and a fight in the senate and house which many members believe will prevent passage of the measure in its present form is forecast.
 Work on the major appropriation bills, including the navy measure, already is under way in committees, but none of them is expected to be ready for report to the house before the Christmas recess as the commit tees intend to scrutinize all provisions and pare down expenses wherever possible.
 Immediate steps are planned by senate and house leaders to deal with railroad legisl4tion, probably by a comprehensive investigation into all phases of this admittedly complicated subject.
