"The discipline spirit of our men is
no longer what it was" said German
officer. cat the first prisoners camp to
which | was taken one of our men ap-
peared before me in neglectful posi-
ton and refused to rectify it, saying:
We have no more use for all that
here"
An officer captured in front Of Laf-
faux in quarry cave with number
of men complained that they had re-
fused to use their machine guns when
the French attacked, saying it was
useless to fight on. When the men
filed past the inclosure where the Of
iicer was waiting to be sent to the rear
he cried out to them: "Swinc! Swine." "
Colonel Goes Blanketless
A colonel taken with another group
of prisoners had neither coat nor
blanket, while many of his men had
both. They all refused to give up
anything for his comfort
There are still many units in the
German army that fight with the ut
most courage, such as those facing
General Mangin's men west Of the
Chamn des Danes and there are Off
GERS who still stick to their forces TO
the last minute, as shown by the num-
Der taken prisoners recently But the
proportion of the latter to the former in
the front line is evidently smaller. and
the evidence of those captured leads
the French command to the conviction
that, on the whole, the old iron disci-
pline in the German ranks has been
weakened greatly during the retreats
in the last two months.

Zionists Will Celebrate
Liberation of Palestine

The liberation of Palestine by the
British forces will be celebrated here
by demonstration at Carnegie Hall
next Sunday night, at which Secretary
of the Navy Daniels is expected to
speak, it was announced yesterday bv
the Zionist Council of Greater New
York.
Significance is added to the celebra-
ton, the council says, by the fact that
the Jewish Legion, probably including
the American contingent. is actively
participating in the Palestine drive,
which so far has liberated all of Sa-
maria and parts of lower Galilee The
capture Of Ear Saba has brought re-
lief to 5000 starving Jewish refugees
who fled before the advancing Turks to
that place, it is stated.
A British gain of fifteen miles fur
ther north will result in the liberation
Of all the Jewish colonies in Palestine.

The foregoing is the basis of the
scheme for constant operation through
out the army, but the general plan
will be extended during the period of
rehabilitation to include courses in
English literature. modern history,
civics, bookkeeping, accounting. ste
biography elementary biology, hygiene
and similar subjects.
To Have Special Instructors
Under the same plan, arrangements
have been made with French and Brit
ish colleges, universities and techni-
cal schools for the attendance of Sc
lected officers and enlisted men from
the American Expeditionary Forces at
moderate personal cost, and leaves of
absence and furloughs will be granted
selected applicants. In the selection
of students to pursue the advanced
studies special consideration will be
given to men of good military record
who interrupted their education to en-
ter the army.
Industrial schools for the instruction
for skilled trades also will be estab-
lished for soldiers entitled thereto by
their military record and special fit
ness.
The military authorities are enthusi-
astic over the project, and expect that
it will prove valuable aid to the
discipline, comfort and happiness of
the men, particularly during the win
ter, at the same time fitting hundreds
of thousands Of young Americans for
their eventual return to civil life and

Fl of Crew Missing
76 Survivors of Torpedoed
American Cargo Ship Landed

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23-The Navy
Department was advised to-day that
twenty-one men of the crew Of the
American army cargo steamer Buena
Ventura, torpedoed and sunk last Fri
day off the coast of Spain. are still un-
accounted for. There were ninety-hve
men in the crew.
Six officers and thirty-nine men were
landed at Brest by French destroyer,
and two officers and twenty-seven men
have been landed at Corunna, Spain.
The departments advices said the
steamer was attacked about $3.50 D. M.
being hit by two torpedoes. 1t sank in
six minutes. The submarine emerged
after the attack, and was described by
survivors as being about $50 feet long
mounting two guns.
First information regarding the sink

About every member of the Senate
Finance Committee has some preferred
objection to the Kitchin bill, and there
are several other Senators who think
that they know how to improve it. Few
of them have yet got beyond the stage
of destructive criticism. They are fully
convinced that they know what is the
matter with the bill, but they have not
formulated substitutes. There is a
strong feeling that they will not need
to replace all they may tear down, for
they believe. that by the time they get
through with their remodelling it will
be about six-billion instead of an
cight-billion dollar bill.

Safety First Rule Of Hun
Officers Disgusts Men

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN
FRANCE, Sept. % BY the Associated
Press The replies Of prisoners re-
Gently interrogated show that the lack
of confidence between the German Off
GERS and men is becoming mutual.
Officers complain of declining discip-
line in the ranks. Soldiers. whose 10y
atty was unquestioned year ago, they
declare, now are deaf to patriotic har-
rangues.
"We can no longer have confidence in
our men," said one officer. "Patriotic
exhortations are now lost on them
They think more of their stomachs
than their country.'
On the other hand, the soldiers say
the officers think only of their own
safety when the line breaks under
pressure of the Allied forces; hat they
leave behind for their own safety rear
guards, who, during the early phases
of the retreat, were sacrificed without
knowing that they had been deliber-
ately abandoned by the rest of the
forces.
Officers Seek Safety
In the fierce fighting on the advanced
line protecting the Hindenburg posi-
ton officers remained in the rear, the
men declare, leaving subalterns to keep
those on this line from yielding or sur
rendering. The resentment caused by
the spread of this conviction among the
rank and file Of prisoners is evidenced
at the prison camps. German soldiers,
