I'VE were not thinking enough OF the
Americans. of whom three-quarters OF
million are said to be at the front and half
million behind the lines. England, too,

1t is interesting to recall that the same

to entice the enemy into the trackless,

T~he Frogs Greeted Them
IL With a Chorus

Captain Hurban and Lieutenant Dan
ielovsky Of ''the 5th Regiment Of T. G.
Masaryk," have just brought from Rus
STA to their commander in chief in Wash
inston an account of the exploits of that
heroic band of fighting men. AS related
by Harvey O'Iiggins, of the Committee
Of Public Information, this is their story:
"The Czecho- Slovaks are one Of the op-
pressed races that have been struggling for
centuries against Germans and Austrians
and Magyars. When this present war broke
out. thousands of them escaped across the
border into Russia and took service against
Austria. Thousands more, drafted into the
Austrian armies, deserted across the lines
There were perhaps 100000 of them in Rus
STA when the Russian army collapsed And
one army of $4,000 OF them under its own
leaders still held its lines in the Ukraine
after the Ukrainians made peace with Ger
many.
"When the Bolshevist government at Mos
COW also signed the peace of Brest-Litovsk,

Worst of It Is, They Have to Explain at Home

The paper blames the popular discon-
tent on "the deficient political education
Of the German people and their absence
of common sense generally"
That this disbursement at home is
having its effect upon the morale Of the
German troops at the front is indicated
in not Il few reports that have been
cabled within week. An American
staff officer told a correspondent Of 'Thc
New York Times" last week that the
German soldier is not now what he was
three months ago, or even at the middle
of July The great ma jority, he said
"arc tired of war to which they can see
no favorable issue. Tho men criticise the
lower command and tala of hesitation and
Of contradictory orders. They altogether
lack homogeneity. Many are physically
feeble youth and in bad condition. Repulse
and losses. insufficient food and bad reports
from home have produced general deprcs-
sion, and il it shows rather spirit of
fataism than revolt. it is none the less
bad military nfiuence'

the de facto belligerent government, he
has established a temporary capital at
Washington. In having its seat on for
elgn SOIL, the new government is in much
the same position as Belgium and Serbia.
DR.. Masaryk has been hailed as lead
er by the $1,000 Czecho~ Slovaks in the
United States. He is now recognized as
commander in chief of the three armies
of his countrymen in Russia, France and
Italy, whose strength has been variously
estimated at from $4,000 to 100000
men. Associated with him on the Ma
tional Council are General Milan Il. Ste
fank, noted Paris astronomer, now
brlgadler general in the French army,
and Dir. Edward Benese, general secre-
tary, who arrived in New Y rk last week
from Paris.

p eproaching Those Who
AZ Garry Rumors

Further confirmation of the general
depression may be found in the fact
that General Won Stein. the Prussian
Var Minister, last week found it neces-
sary to fill more than three columns in
the Berlin newspapers with reproaches
to the people who credit and repeat fan
tastic rumors of disasters.
One Of the causes for the discomfort
of the people is the growing suspicion
that the official bulletins of the General
Staff do not tell the whole truth about
the fighting from day to day. Out Of
striking tendency to invent stories Of
much greater disaster than has actually
struck the German armies. 1t has been
recently circulated in Germany that
Hindenburg had committed suicide and
that the Germans had lost 900 pris-
oners in this latest fighting. This oc
CURED in some way through betrayal,
according to these stories.
That the bulletins dc not give full
and exact account Of the course Of
by intelligent people in Germany as by
foreign readers Of the bulletins. Thus
the "Franl<furter Zeitung" of August II
had this to say about the official reports ::
eve all expect from the official bulletins
clear and calm information SO far as
this is practicable, but we know that
severe restrictions arc imposed upon
them by The necessity of preserving mill
tary secrets. Confidence IN the strate-
gica decisions is so great that tie public
can very we'll do without objective reports"
The latest German papers TO arrive
in this country contain much interesting
discussion OF the earlier phase Of the
present offensive Of the Allies, beginning
AUGUST with the attack Of tie British
and French on both sides Of the Sonme.
The official bulletin of that day merely
admitted that enemy forces had entered
the German positions. without saying
anything whatever about the extensive
loss Of territory, prisoners and artillery.

THE Kaiser Now Talks of
Il A "Successful Defence"

But the latest German defeats appear
to have spread confusion even in the
highest quarters. The Kaiser himself
has suddenly dropped into the minor key.
After having continued up to three
months ago to talk about German vic
tories as sure to compel the enemy to
submit to German peace, he now speaks
Of the determination of the German peo-
pie to preserve their land and Kultur by

His bestowal of the Red Eagle Order

Kuhlemann also involves changed view
regarding the means for bringing the
war to termination. or does it only sig
Nifty confusion in the imperial mind? Two
months ago Kihlmann was dismissed
in disgrace because he said that the
war could not be ended by purely mil
itary decisions; and now he is decorated.
"The New York Evening Post" after
calling attention to this dualism in the
operation of the imperial mind, remarks:
"What all this vacillation and evidence
of perturbation may bring forth in the
future only wise man in his own conceit
would undertake to say positively. But the
present evidence that the German morale
is breaking one can fail to see to be
conclusive and full Of hope for the righteous
cause of the Allies"
But the Crown Prince has evidently
been talking with his imperial papa and
now also chimes in upon that minor
strain. He gave out an interview in which
he frankly abandoned all hope Of seeing
Germany force military decision. The
interview caused the "Vorwarts" to
print It's most striking passage in deadly
parallel with kihlmanns admission;
and then the paper commented thus:
