significant are the statements of Bull
garian soldier who deserted through the
Serbian lines. He declares that A. Mali
noff conditioned the acceptance of the
Office Of Minister OF Foreign Affairs last
June. when he formed the new Bull
sarian Cabinet, upon the withdrawal OF
all the German units in old Bulgaria.

their own commi ssariats and soldiers

herman officer.
This deserter says every German SOL
dier in Bulgaria and Macedonia was en-
titled to despatch to Germany parcel
post packages and 80 largely was this
privilege used for the expectation OF
foodstuffs that the dearth already caused
by the military acquisitions was intensi-
fed to such a degree that even In Sofa
many OF the poor died of hunger.
According to the same deposition a
meeting OF lHc VI lHc
Forty-eighth. Thirty-frst and Thirty
seventh regiments was held In June at
night. Fifty men from each regiment
participated and although the officers
were aware that the meeting was to be
held none dared to interfere, knowing
that he would be attacked and murdered.
Various resolutions were put at the
meeting. Some soldiers suggested that
all the officers be arrested and that the
white flag be raised in the trenches and
that the regiments surrender. Others re-
jected the proposal of surrender, but
suggested quitting the front bodily and
returning to Bulgaria.
No agreement having been found pos
sible the meeting dispersed. The fol-
lowing day the officer commanding
regiments visited each company sepa-
rately and addressed the men with
soothing words. saying:
You wish to conclude peace your
selves and petition for IL but II peace
does not follow what will happen? |
also desire peace, but have the patience
to walt while. Peace will come soon
and be assured OF that"
In conclusion the deserter says that
spies were placed in each company and
they denounced the men who partici-
pated in the meeting.

GREAT CHANGE rs NOTED

BRITISH ARMY Headquarters, Aug 25.
The demeanor OF hundreds OF Ger
man officers taken prisoner recently is
in striking contrast with the attitude of
officers captured during the British re-
treat last spring. Then German officer
prisoners were arrogant and meant to
crush the British to earth, but now they
are depressed and very anxious. They
appear very willing to talk and the
tenor of their conversation may be sum-
med up as follows:
They say Germany entered the war
with enthusiasm. but this has long since
disappeared and the struggle has now
become an economic one with Great
Britain.
They admit that Germany is in prac-
tically hopeless condition, both eco
nomically and from the man power
point of view, and ask whether Great
Britain cannot now consider Germany
sufficiently reduced to be no longer a
dangerous trade rival or whether the
Allies intend to crush her altogether.
In the latter case, they say. Germany
will he forced to fight to the last, bit
they make no effort to conceal their
impression OF what this means for the
fatherland,
They say they believe there is every
disposition to evacuate Belgium and
northern France and even negotiate for
the retention or evacuation of Alsace-
Lorraine.
They are generally unanimous in
agreeing that anneNations thus far made
and the BrestLitovsk peace treaty were
great mistake, but think they cannot
withdraw from Russia in the present
condition OF affairs there.
They are aware that the American
army now has assumed very formidable
proportions and there is general ad-
mission of the seriousness of this factor
The submarine campaign they cannot
refer to without gestures of impatience
Captured non-commissioned officers
attribute recent German defeats to the
inefficiency of their air service and more
especially to the inexperience and lack
OF stamina of the latest recruits who
are most inadequately drilled and
trained and who are physically incapa-
BILE OF sustaining the heavy strain of de-
fensive warfare.
The mere presence of these new re-
cruits. they say. produces in a company
a demoralizing effect upon the older men
because II indicates to what straits Ger
many must be reduced to employ such
poor material.
