DEFEAT DEPRESSES GERMANS;
OUT-FOUGHT THEY ADMIT,

With the French Army in France, Fri-
day, Aug. 23-Further evidence has been
gathered that the victories of the Allies
have affected considerably the morale of
he German troops.
The cause of the depression, which is
quite general among the prisoners taken
recently, is the conclusion that they have
reached, after comparisons, that the
Allies artillery tactics are far superior to
theirs They attribute their defeat to the
success of the French IN forcing their
strongest positions and in we'll directed
and concentrated artillery fire Thus
they have been unable to hold even their
best sheltered position.
The bulk of the Juvigny plateau is in
the hands Of the French, who are again on
the edge OF the battlefield of 1917 To the
north lies the Ailette valley Eight miles
eastward is Laffaux hill and the beginning
of CheInin des Danes.
French cavalry patrols crossed the
Ailette today, although the Germans
fought desperately to keep them on the
west side of the river and the canal.

HAS ANY ONE SEEN
GEORGE SANDERSON
Youngster Missing Thursday May
Have Left With Another
Absent Boy.

The police are making efforts to locate
George r Sanderson. the 12-year-oid
son of Mr. and Mrs Sanderson, OF l05
West Twenty ninth street, who mys-
teriously disappeared from this city
Thursday morning about 10 o'clock
According to his mother, the boy left
home shortly after O'Clock, and started
for Elsmere, where he was TO visit for
a time. lie was last seen by neighbor
and friend OF the family, getting off q
Shellpot car at Sixth and Market streets,
with a transfer in his hand, supposedly
for use on a West Sixth street car to
EIesmere. He was dressed In q dark
brown suit and wore brown canvas shoes
He is also described as being light haired
and freckled.
His parents stated this morning that
<,eorge had a persistant habit of asking
passing autoists for ride, and that
his sunny smile and good nature won
him many such jov-rides. 1t is the opinion
of Mr.. and Mrs Sanderson that George
took one ride too many, and too far,
and that the little fellow is now trying
to get back to Wilmington by the same
method.
1t has also been intimatcd that in
some way his disappearance may be
be connected with the similar disap-
pearance Of John S. Galloway, age 10,
who mysteriously vanished at about
the same time Thursday morning, and
the police believe it possible that the
youthful pair may soon be found wander
ing along a road leading to this city.

Noon Today.

The registration of Wilmi ngton boys,
who have become 21 since June D, WAS
progressing smoothly at noon today at the
various local board headquarters, 70
registrants being the total up TO that time
This includes some who registered by
mail. or in person, ahead of time, and is as
nearly as can be estimated, about one
third of the whole number expected to be
reached when the returns are all in.
This will not be until Monday night,
owing to the possibility of few men of
Jewish faith taking advantage of the rul-
ing made by General Crowder, permitting
the delay till that date, owing to this
being their Sabbath.
The work up TO noon, was handled
without additional registrars most of the
