any point in the German lines.
These imitation trenches, o. trench
models, were well guarded from obser-
walton by numerous allied planes
which constantly circled above them.
No German airplane could approach
within observation distance. A re-
stricted area was maintained and no
civilian was allowed within three
miles, so we felt sure that We had q
great surprise In store for Fritz.
When we took over the front line
we received an awful shock. The
Germans displayed sgnboards over
the top Of their trench showing the
names that we had called their
trenches The mgns read "Fair,"
"Fact." "Fate," and "Fancy." and 80
on, according to the code names. on
our map. Then to rub It In, they
hoisted some more signs which read,
"Come on. we are ready, stupid Eng
lish."
1t Is still a mystery to mi how they
obtained this knowledge. There had
been no raids or prisoners taken, so
It must have been the work Of spies
in our own lines.
Three or four days before the big
push we tried to shatter Fritz's nerves
by feint attacks, and partially sue

I show.
Although we were constantly bonn
harding their lines day and night, still
we fooled the Germans several times.
This was accomplished by throwing
an intense barrage into his lines
then using smoke shells we would put
a curtain Of white smoke across No
Mans Land, completely obstructng
his view Of our trenches, and
would raise our curtain Of IRE

down our trenches the men would
shout and cheer, and Fritz would turn
loose with machine-gun, rifle. and
shrapnel fire, thinking we were COM

attacks his nerves must have been

vON AERTLING'S SPEECH
 APPEAL TO SOCIALISTS
SEEKS THEIR SUPPORT ON Ac COUNT OF THE DIRE STRAITS
 GERMANY IS IN.

Washington, Sept 25.-There was iuts one thing in Chancellor von Hertling's speech which interested American officials. It was his frank and open admission of the seriouness of the internal situation in Germany.
 Following so closely upon the for nal declaration by the social demo- crats of the conditions upon which the party would consent to partici- pate in the government the speech was regarded as intended primarily for internal consumption in Germany. lt is regarded as part of plan to persuade the socialists to come to the aid of the government in its grave straits by demonstrating that there are no substantial difference of prin- ciple between their party and the government The marked similarity between the statements made by von Hertling regarding the basis of peace and those principles laid down by the socialists at once was noticed
 When attention was directed 10 von Hertlng's statements that he had no response from the United states to his proposal last February to accept ir principle the conditions of peace laid down by President Wilson. off cials pointed out that the President himself had effectually exposed the insncerity of yon Hertlings propos- al when ia his Baltimore speech he pointed 10 the crime against Russia as sufficient reason for rejectina any offer 10 discuss peace, "Brest- l.itOvsk fashion
 Furthermore, it was declared that there could be no talk of peace until tho last German and Austrian soldier had been withdrawn or driven from the occupied territory
 The inclination of the government to regard the speech as the las movement in the German peace of fensiye and as insincere and un- worthy of consideration, is based upon the feeling that in scarcely single point does the premier make an unqualified declaration of adher- ence to the n principles laid down Ky President Wilson Everywhere in his speech officials said there were limitations and qualifications.
 Official Washington noticed the admission of the deep discontent ex isting among great masses of the German people. Through neutral countries have came reports of dis organizltion mutiny rioting and

CHANGE since II
Prisoners and Guns Much
Easier To Capture.
Germans Have Improved in
Running Only.

Paris, Sept. 12.-Foch continues to
give Ludendorff fairly vigorous local
raps as he plasters the Germans
tighter against Hindenburg's wall of
concrete and, steel but generally speak
ing the line today is fairly stabilized
from the English channel to Switzer-
land. The allied battering ram is, for
the moment, taking a vacation. The
sole topic of conversation here is
whether the battering ram would
start swinging again before winter, or
will friend and foe settle down until
spring approximately where they are.
The Germans boast their lines are
impregnable and say the allies never
would be able to. break down their re-
sistance. Figures certainly seem to
prove the German power of resistance
is already immeasurably less than it
was in 1917. During the Arras-Vimy
offensive in 1917 the British captured
19,343 prisoners and PSF guns in
April. and 3,412 prisoners and one
gun in May. In the Messfnes drive
they took 1855 prisoners and 81 guns
during June and 4.039 prisoners and 8
guns during July. In the Flanders
Ypres drive the British captured
0,697 prisoners and 38 guns in Au-
gust, 5.296 prisoners and IL guns in
September and 1913 prisoners apd Is
guns in October.
Since the start of the counter often
sive this year the British have cap
tured $4,000 prisoners and $50 guns.
Whereas in 1917 the British took APP
proximate1y only one gun for each 700
prisoners, this year they took one gun
for each 100 prisoners, proving there
is either greater dash on the part of
the British, less resistance from the
Huns, or both.
Total allied captures in 1918 are
approximately 100000 prisoners and
2.100 guns or about one gun for every
sixty prisoners. Plainly the German
soldiers have improved since 1917 in
running only.
