GERMANS WARNED ID
 KEEP MOUTHS SHUT s
Ordered to Keep Silence When
 Made Prisoners

With the American Forces in France, Sept. 2, (Corresondence of the Associated Press) Since the Americans took part in the offensive of July IS new instructions have been issued to the German soldiers reminding them that silence is the best policy when taken prisoner.
 Keep silent, know nothing and shrug your shoulders" suggests the German instructions.
 A copy of the German communi- eaton recently came in the hands of American officers. It says in part:
 'The new prisoner is a valuable possession in the hands of the enemy. In him lie hidden possibilities that may mean much more than bare facts concerning battalions and regiments. From the highest commander to the lowest wagon driver, every one of use carries with him remem brances, ob- servations, overheard discussions or the greetings of neighboring troops.
 "Combining all these things they become a valuable asset of military information. One very seldom real 'izes how much one really does know. One thinks little of it. But the enemy know better. He spares no pains to get possession of such treasure. It may begin with friendly and pleasant greetings, with coffee or cigarettes; it ends with a sarcastic smile, with short Tations and solitary confine- ment.
 '"The last few weeks have brought us fresh and painful evidence show ing how easily the German soldier, the moment he drops his arms, suc- cubs to the false impression given by the words for me- the war is over. He has done his duty on the field with rifle and grenade until fate grew stronger than he and he becomes Q prisoner with the idea, T have done my duty; now I am defenseless and captured, no longer a warrior, it no longer depends on me-
 we have examples, in which the opponent, while talking with unsus- pecting German prisoners success fully drew from them a German or der of battle and attack down to the smallest detail. One stone upon an- other; what the one did not know the other would tell. It is quite possible that they did not know what import ant information they were giving when they would say:
 Last evening several artillery men came into our trench and the battery went into position about 200 meters behind our trench. This aft ernoon we were to draw three days iron, ration.'
 They had forgotten that the war was not over for them, but only be- ginning. Following the war of rife and grenade, follows the war of words questions and conversation Each word that seems harmless enough in itself becomes an enemy's weapon bringing death to hundreds of comrades.
 NO, Becoming a prisoner does not end the war. It continues with more dangerous and subtle weapons. Against these, we have only one pro- tective measure: Silence. Assumed with pride and common sense no one can take this from you, least of all should you be unfortunate enough to be taken prisoner. Keep silent, know nothing and shrug your shoulders"

SALVATION ARMY IN
 FAVOR OF ONE DRIVE
Evangelinc Booth Endorses Unity Plan to Raise Mammoth Fund
 For War Relief Work
HAIL TO UNITY!


 (By Evangeline Booth Commander of the Salvation Army in Amcrica.)
 The Salvation Army in the United States greets with utmost enthusiasm the announcemnt that all of the rec- ognized war relief organizations rep resenting the crceds and elements that go to make up our nation, are welded together for tho great war fund drive in November.
 We meet in service. Here there are plenty of disSimlarities in plans and methods but the one controlling ideal in all is to do good to help men. Each organization has it's own quota to contribute and each has a diStinc- tive realm to occupy, and albeit each has it's distinguishing spirit. Certainly, we repeat this is in the case of The Salvation Army, but no man or woman who has been close enough to catch a view of one tithe of the need will ever dream of saying aught against any one of these ministerng agencies that are graphing with the problems which press upon us in these stressful times.
 If we could multiply twenty times over, this field Of service would stIl be, to a large extent: a great uncoV- cred opportunity. While we are do- ing all we can we reVerently thank God for what the Y. M C. A., the '. w. C. A., tho National Catholic Council, the Knights of Columb mbus, the War Camp Community Service, the American Library Association. the Jewish Welfare League are doing They each have their sphere as we have ours and, by common consent, our little niche is in the great task they are engaged in for humanity's S sake.
 There is many a signal victory in store for truth, liberty, righteousness ana human progress, and not the least of these shall be that all factors which go to make up the brother hood of men, are sensibly and securely lgamated in this vast undertaking. The Salvation Army is non-sectarian and It greets it's sisters and brothers in this emergency, pledging itself to work alike for all parts of the great human family.
