GERMANS IN DESPAIR.
Letters Taken From Prisoners ant
Dead Germans Reveal Hopeless
Despair.

Many letters taken from prisoners
and dead Germans indicate that hope
less despair is beginning to prevail
on the German side of the line, states
a dispatch from France. A letter
written home by a German who was
stationed in town which had been
captured, said:
''The war has been lost for some
time; only those high up are failing to
admit it."
The letter added: ooh, poor Ger
many. Only the dead at the front
have forgotten this swindle."
Another letter said: "This cannot
last much longer" while still another
German wrote: "Our losses greatly
exceed all the drafts. Germany is
sure to lose very soon."
It is fact that many letters taken
from prisoners whether written by
them to be posted home or received by
them from civilians in the interior OF
Germany, are in the same vein. One
German I'M Berlin chided his brother
at the front about making rapid pro:
gress to the rear. He then predicted
that the war was surely coming to ar
end and that with the allies then max.
ing an economic war, Germany woulo
be ruined. ..
Many of these letters were writer
before the British began their drive.

WAR SAVINGS DOCTRINE
AMERICAS BLESSING
better Health and Efficiency Maintain
ed on Simpler Lines of Living
Soldiers Are Living EXAMPLES.

Winston-Salem. Aug. 28.-As to
what constitutes essentials necessary
Tor health and efficiency is a matter
not yet decided, especially by those
VINO will be affected by the war-profit
tax that IS now being fought out in
congress. Before the war it was the
general idea that everything man
mace was more or less essential either
TO ms health and happiness or to his
Well-belng and efficiency. Since the
war, it is surprising to know how lit
tie really constitutes the essentials
of life and is really necessary to
health and efficiency
It's a fact, according to health ex-
perts, that less of those things that
were formerly considered essentials is
meaning better health for the people.
A return to the simple life, which is
the doctrine of the War Savings CAM
palgn, particularly in things to eat
and wear, has been Americas bless
ing IN Disguise 1t is now known that
there is less illness, part cularly from
those diseases caused by excessive
eating, in the country today than
New years ago.
While living standards have notice
ably changed, and the list of essen
/ tials have been cut in two, it has been
pointed out that America is far from
the lowest point at which life may he
lived comfortably and healthy ana ef-
ficiency maintained. General PERISH
ing's soldiers have shown that eff
cheney and the finest fighting spirit
can be maintained at the highest point
with only enough to eat, enough to
wear, and with few of what is known
as the extras. History will not let
it pass out of mind how General
| Washington's soldiers at Valley Forge
kept up their high resolve, their fight
ing spirit, and won an immortal VIC
tory with only the barest necessities
Of life.
It is for these reasons that Secre-
tary McAdoo proposes a flat war
profit tax of eighty per cent on all
incomes or profits that are made or
the strength of the war.
He says: "The patriotic producers
of America should be content if one.
fifth of their war-profits are secured
to them especially when we reflect
that the men who are fighting ane
dying in France to save the libertie!
of those who stay at home are lin,itee
by act Of Congress to 1896 per yea1
for their service and have to Civ,
their blood in the bargain"

Allies Can Win the War Next
Summer.

Announcing that to date more than
1900 900 American soldiers have EN-,
barked for foreign shores, General
March, chief of staff, reiterated on
the oath his firrs belief that the
presence of 100000 troops Of the
United States in France by next sum
mer would enable the Allies to car
ry out any campaign they may ABORT
for the defeat Of Germany and the
end of the war. Such declarations
General March said, were founded up
on cold -blooded study of the respec.,
tive man-power of the Allies and OF
The enemy in June, 1919, and are mot
