GERMAN CAVALRY
Nut BEEN
REDUCED
(By Associated Press)

FRENCH FRONT, Jan. 1O.-Trench
! warfare has not diminished the Ger
! man cavalry forces, as has been gener.
ally supposed for information which
has just reached the correspondent
of the Associated press shows the 10
tai of squadrons in the service to be
even higher than it was at the mobili-
cation in 1914. Changes. however,
have been introduced in the mounted
arm of the service by which some of
the squadrons temporarily have been
dismounted and utilized as infantry,
while the formations have undergone
considerable variation.
At present the German army has at
its disposal no fewer than $40 sqaud-
rOns of cavalry, comprising active,
reserve, mobile ersatz, landwehr and
landsturm units, but of these 144 have
been separated from their horses and
used as infantry. This figure COM
pares with 40 squadrons on d peace
footing
When war began the German cav
airy at once formed into eleven divis-
ions, each composed of six regiments
of four squadrons. Besides those,
there were also the bodies of division
al cavalry attached to the active and
reserve divisions of infantry.
Rumania's entry into the war made
more cavalry formations necessary
and the number or organized divisions
was at once increased to fourteen
The spring of 1917 saw the end of
the Rumanian campaign, and with
this came a decrease of the divisional
formations to six, while the divisions
themselves were reduced from six
regiments to four each. At the same,
time Independent brigades of mount
ed troops were formed, Of which the
existance of at least five is known.
each having three regiments Of four
squadrons each.
Nearly every infantry division is
provided also with a unit of cavalry
whose strength varies according to-
the nature of the country in which
the troops are operating.
From among the cayaIrymen who,
temporarily, are not employed on
mounted duty at the front. twenty /
three regiments of rifIemen have been
formed, which take their turn in hold
ing trenches with the ordinary infant
ry formations. Eeach of these regi-
ments is composed of four squadrons
and a squadron of machine-gunners
Besides these other units of caval-.
rymen selected from the regiments of
the active army are from time to time
used as infantry, but their exact num-
bers are not ascertainable.

Here Is Safe Guide for
New Draft Registrants

EVERY man in the United
States who is eighteen years
old and not forty-six must regis
ter for military duty to-day, un-
less he is already in the army or
navy or has already registered
under the old draft law affecting
men between 81 and 81.
If to-day is your eighteenth
birthday you must register. If
it is your forty-sixth, you need
not.
Registration hours are from Z
A. M. to 8 P. M.
1t makes no difference whether
or not you are a citizen. You
must register. Enemy aliens must
register if they are within the
ages.
Men who are absent from their
homes must register where they
are. Their names will be for
warded to the proper draft
boards.
The sick are required to send
some responsible person to the
proper places of registration to
register for them.
Claims for exemption will not
be considered to-day. Even the
physically unfit must register.
Previous registry under the

excuse for not registering to-
day.
Placards in your neighbor-
hood will indicate where you are
to register if you do not know
already.
The police have been in
structed to assist all men who
may ask them in finding their
proper places of registry. If
you are in doubt ask a policeman.

STOCKHOLM, Sept. 1I.-A man just
arrived from Germany, who for long
time has been in a position to know
what Is being said in we'll Informed
circles in Berlin. gives an interesting ac-
count OF the present situation there. II
is generally understood. he says. that
the German retreat in the west was
due partly TO the Allies superiority in
tanks and airplanes. but chiefly to the
Germans lack of artillery ammunition.
In the six weeks from July Is to the
end Of August the Germans expended or
lost as much ammunition as they can
produce in six months. They are press
and many men have been released from
the Austrian army for this purpose.
Berlin is talking Of the possibility OF
giving up the Hindenburg line. but still
hoping that the position may be saved
by inducing the Allies to create between
Cambrai and st. Quentin a salient which
would offer a favorable opportunity for
German counter attack. IT, however,
the Hindenburg line should fall there is
one more In France still more strongly
fortified. covering Lille and Nalenciennes
1t would take six or eight weeks. II is
said. for the Allies to reach this line

u. S. TROOPS ORDERED
TO SHOOT CUTTERS
Told to Kill Any Man Who
Advises Surrender.
By The Associated Prtss.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE,
Sept. 10 (delayed) American troops
Of all units have been instructed TO kill
on the spot any one who in time of
battle urges surrender or attempts TO
persuade them that further resistance
Is useless.
These instructions. which originated
with q certain division and now have
been universally adopted because they
proved 80 popular. were made necessary
because some one in American uniform
during a German attack on Fismette on
August 27 ran among the troops. call
ing upon them to cease resistance, and
asserting that the officers advised sur
render.
The instructions point out that these
statements were absolutely false. and
add:
The person who spreads such an
alarm Is either an enemy In our uniform
or one OF our own troops who Is disloyal
and n traitor. or one Of our troops who
has become a panic stricken coward.
Whoever he is. he should be shot on the
spot. In battle there is not time to in
quire into the identity or motives Of per-
sons who create panic or disorganiza-
tion, or who advise surrender.
1T Is the duty OF every officer and
soldier to kill on tho spot any person
who in fight urges any one to surren- :
der or stop fighting. 1t makes no DIFF
ference whether the person Is a stranger
or friend. an officer or a private"
The instructions conclude with the
statement that a German soldier was
found mortally wounded far inside the
American lines at Fismette. He had
lived for long time In America and
spoke English well and possibly he in
tended to get an American uniform and
create doubt or discrganization among
the men.

the American forces was made by Gen.

This official statement was Issued by

By order of Gen. March the safe

for the Bolshevik leaders to make war

loyal Russians of Archangel who have
established a government for northern

Advance intimations had reached
Archangel that German forces with the
collusion of Finland were in the process
OF organization to strike a blow at Arch
angel. This German force is reported
to have been $4,000 strong and fully
equipped for a winter campaign. In ad-
dition 1t has been reported that the Boil
shevik leaders had granted permission to
Germany to move troops through Rus
sian territory for the purpose OF carry
ing on military operations.
The arrival of the first American
troops is regarded as indicating that
both French and British troops are on
their way IL they have not landed. The
operations which the United States and
the Allies decided TO take by way OF
protecting the Russians at Archangel
were the result of exchanges of views
of the British. French and American

Of American troops at Archangel may
mean open war between the United

Americans will not be the aggressors
and any hostilities which may ensue
