SOLDIERS MAY REBEL
Sparks of Revolution Are Flying
in German Army.
Pscifist and Revolutionary Pamphlets
Are Being Distributed
Among Boches.

British Headquarters in France,
Sept. 9.-Sparks of revolution seem to
be flying even thicker in certain parts
of the German army. Numerous pris-
oners taken by the British mention
the distribution OF pacifist and revolu-
tionary pamphlets among the troops.
One prisoner who recently had re-
turned from leave said that when in
company of a large number of Ba-
varians he was shown revolutionary
pamphlets which he was told were
being widely circulated. All the
pamphlets, he added, were violently
anti Prussiau and appealed to the men
to refuse to fight.
1t was asserted that during the re-
cen fighting the commanding officer
of the 18th Pioneer battalion of the
F~ifty-second division was shot by his
men when he attempted to stop a
panic-stricken rush from the trenches.
A battalion surgeon captured said
all the ~regimental officers he knew
believed that General Ludendorff
would fight delaying actions until the
Allied offensive had died out, at the
same time saving his "elite divisions
for a counterstroke, preparations for
which were now being made.

Washington Officials Believe Inn
mense Stroke by Ameri-
cans Is Imminent.
NO REST FOR TEUTONs
Plans Of Marshal Foch Seem to Be
Along Lines Of Keeping En-
envy Moving and Prevent
Trench Warfare.

Washington, Sept. 9.-In the opinion
OF many officers and officials of the
department, the hour when Gen
eral Pershing's army will be thrown
into the battle is rapidly approaching.
Developments indicated to these OBJ
servers that the German withdrawal
was nearing the point when Marshal
Foch would smake use OF every avail
able weapon to prevent the enemy
from making a stand in his old posi-
lions along the Hindenburg line.
There is no doubt among observers
here that Marshal Foch has mapped
out a plan by which he hopes to pre-
vent the enemy from settling into his
old lines and reverting again to trench
warfare.
1t is argued that IL the enemy at
tempts to hold the Hindenburg line,
or such of it as he can, he will have
to mass reserves to do it. A new at
tack, far to the south and east of the
present battle area, would compel him
to rush reserves to that front and it
is in such an attack that many off,
cials are confident that General Perish.
ing's army will be employed.
1t is noted here hat no effort has
been made by Marshal Foch to extend
the action to the front east OF Rheims
thus far. The sector between that
place and Verdun has been completely
quiet through the fierce fighting to
the north. Many officers think an at.
tack may be launched there with the
object of turning the whole German
line northward and hat probably a ST.
multaneous attack would be delivered
beyond Verdun, where the original
American sector lies, to complete this
conception of a wide turning move
ment against the enemy positions in
Northern France.
The st. Mihiel salient, where the
German lines thrust forward beyond
Verdun on the west, might offer a
chance for Foch's favorite pincher
tactics. some officers think.
There are indications that this front
is held by Americans with the excep-
tion of the defenses of Verdun itself
and the lines east of that city. If
General Pershing should strike sud-
denly toward Metz and meet with any
success, 1t is thought the enemy might
be forced to evacuate the whole st.
EMihiel bend and that the pursuit of
that retirement could be expanded at
Will into action of whatever scope.

Action Is Taken by Food Admin
iStration for Several
Reasons.
SHORTAGE OF LABOR
Need Of Entire Fuel Production for
War Industries, Drouth and
Strain Upon Transportation
Are Principal Causes.

Washington, Sept. 9. - AS a war
measure the manufacture of beer In
the United States will be prohibited
after Dec. l next.
This announcement was made by
the food administration. which said
the decision had been reached at con-
~ferences between President Wilson
and representatives of the fuel, food
and railroad administrations and the
war industries board.
Factors which influenced the deci-
sion to prohibit the manufacture of
beer after Dec. /, the food administra-
ton announcement said, were the
further necessity of war industries for
the whole fuel production capacity of
the country, the considerable drouth
which has materially affected supply
OF feeding stun for next year, the
strain upon transportation to handle
necessary industries, and the shortage
OF labor caused by enlargement of the
army program"
Other Beverages Hit.
Warning also was issued to manu-
f~acturers of all beverages and mineral
waters that for the same reasons there
will be further great curtailment in
fuel for the manufacture of glass con
~tainers, of the tin plate for caps, Of
transportation and of food products in
such beverages"
Action along this line, 1t was said,
had been expected by the brewing in
terests In view of the fuel administra-
tion's order OF last July 3, reducing
coal consumption of breweries so per
cent and a warning that they might
not be able to continue In business.
Under national prohibition legisla.
ton, passed by the Senate and sent
to the House, which enacted similar
legislation last May, manufacture Of
beer and wine would be prohibited
after next May L.
