German Prisoners Tell Con-
Gcting Stories Of Coming

.oWN THAT MACKENSEN
WILL Be in COMMAND
British Flyers Destroy Two
Hundred German Anplanes
In Single Week
By William Philip simms

(Unlted Press Staff Correspondent
With the British Armies in France,
May ga (Night-The Germans them.
selves disagree as to the time and place
of resumption of their offensive.
Some enemy prisoners say the next
assault will be in the north, with Calais
as the objective, some say Amiens and
Abbeyyille will remain the objectives;
while others say the Rheims area will
be the scene of the next drive. Still
others have heard rumors of combina-
tions of all these. The one thing that
most of them agree ON is that Field
Marshal Mackensen will be in charge of
the next move.
Stories are told of German ruses to
keep up the morale in the interior,
from where most of the recruits are be-
ing drained. Most of these recruits are
told they are wanted only for work be-
hind the lines. But the drafts no soon
er reach the battlefield than they are
split up among the divisions needing
men to replace casualties.
