COMPLETING Concentration.

With the American Army on the
Vesle, Sunday Aug. .5.-German SOL
diers believe that Germany Is not plan
ming any more offensves because OF
manpower shortage, according to one
of a party of seven of a German patrol
captured by the Americans early Sum-
day east of Fismes. The soldier, who
was former bank employe and the
owner of a Berlin restaurant, said the
soldiers no longer had any enthusiasm
for war. Most Of those with whom
he came in contact believed the war
would end soon.
The prisoner had been fighting three
years and declared he was thoroughly
tired Of it. He said the soldiers un-
derstood that the German losses dur
ing the recent allied offensive had been
very great. These reports were cred
tied by the soldiers and were having
q demoralizing effect. He said he knew
of one division of $4,000 which had
been reduced to less than 1000. He
did not know what became of the men.
Plenty of Germans, he added, would
desert and surrender If gwen the 'op-
portunity. Many of them are constant
ly watching for chance to give
themselves up to the Americans.
Trouble has been threatened in the

MISTAKEN ABOUT
WAR INSURANCE
Roane County People Under I'm.
preston Beneficiary Must Be
Dependent On Soldier.

A mistaken idea in regard to the
payment of war risk insurance which
has been circulated for some time has
caused quite bit of misunderstanding
and J. II. Cantrell. a member of the To-
cal draft instruction board, who has
made a speciality ON war risk insur-
ance. has issued statement which
clears up the matter.
IT has been understood in some quar-
ters that war risk insurance could be
PAD only to dependent relatives of the
insured soldiers. but Mr.. Cantrell states
that the policy can be paid to any rcia-
tive whom the soldier shall make his
beneficiary. h
A dispatch received this morning
IRON lockwood shows that the misun-
derstanding which now exists might
become serious. Mr.. Cantrell has ex-
planned the article by saying that in
| his opinion the writer has gotten the
matter OF insurance confused with the
matter of compensation. Soldiers
| compensation can be paid only to de-
pendent relatives of soldiers.
The following is the text of the artis
Gle from Lockwood:

that the beneficiary is not capable of

developed in connection with the insur- Z

FOOL GERMANS BY

When Americans Enter Cap

Old Shelters.

/ With the American Army on the
Aisne- Vesle, Aug. 24.-U. N. So
Lieut.. $. Meredith Langstaff of Brook
lyn, commanding company of Amer
leans which was attacked by the Ger
mans at Chateau du- -Diable. southwest
OF Ffsmes Thursday, related today how
he had saved the lives of his men by
insisting that they dig their own dug
outs instead of utilizing those the
Germans had left.
Believing that the Americans were
in the dugouts the Germans mad
evacuated. the enemy artillery, which
knew the exact location and range of
those dugouts. kept pounding them
heavily. All the while the Americans
We're safe in their own bomb proofs.
Finally low-flying German planes dis
covered the Americans and signaled
their location, which was Immediately
followed by scattering fire of high
explosives.
When the Germans attacked Thurs
day night, Langstaffs company was
left occupying salient that was men,
oced on both flanks and in front. He
withdrew his men to safety until day
break and then with other Americans
on his flanks counter attacked and re-
occupied their positions.
Lieut.. Langstaff said that during the
German attack, the company cook, an
Austrian, abandoned his cook wagon,
seized rifle and joined in the fight
ing. evincing great bravery. But his
comrades demanded that he drop his
rifle. go back to his cook wagon and
keep the coffee boiling for them.
Langstaff declared that the Amer
leans did not mind machine gun and
artillery fire, but dislike bombing from
the air.. He is returning to the United
States to serve as instructor
