no FIGHT IN GERMAN ARMY
Old Force Useless and Rapidly Dis
appearing. American Opinion

Coblenz, March SIN the opinion
expressed by United States army o.
fccrs who have specialized on the
question of rehabilitation and read
in. tment of the enemy forces, there
no longer is any doubt about the COM
rlcte usalessaess of the remnants OF
the old German army now in regl-
mental and battalion departments
throughout Germany.
The conclusions of the Americans
are based upon q large quantity OF
detailed information gathered from
various sources by the Army of Oc-
cupation.
In the American Third Army IN
tell;gerce Bureau it is estimated IN
the summary Of an expert that there
are approximately 100000 men who
have declined to volunteer for the
German army. They comprise the old
army of today in the depots together
with skeietonzed STATS of many large
and small units.
"There is no fight in these men"
said the American expert today.
"The events of the past two weeks
have demonstrated that they are as
useless in the suppression OF internal
dis orders as they are against Boil
shcyism or the Poles One has only to
read the newspapers of garrison
towns and to note the extent Of horse
stealings by garrisons and all kinds

would be impossible with disciplined
troops TO become convinced of the
present uselessness of the remnant 81

SAVED 81 MILD WINTER
Warm Weather Has Prevented ThOus-
ands in Germany And Austria
From Freezing to Death.

The warmest winter in years has
done much 10 lessen suffering in
Germany and n other parts OF the
former Central Empires. It is look
ed upon as an act OF Providence.
There has been almost 10 freezing
weather in Germany this winter. The
dread of sickness from cold which
the nation had is gradually passing.
Il is estimated that thousands
world have died for want Of heat if
the usual bitter spell Of winter had
SGT in, due to the lack Of coal and
clothes.
In Austria the situation was par
ticplarly bad, since the hotels were
allowed barely enough coal for cook
ing. Trains We're cut down to min
imum. barely enough to care for
traffic.
IN both these countries no coal at
all is allowed 10 the public, since the
few public utilities need the entire
supply. People keep from freezing
only by the grace of the warm
winter.
Neutral countries are affected too.
In Switzerland there are no trains on
Sundays, and on week days only a
bare minimum are operated. Practl-
cally no coal is burned by the civilian
population, which can get only
enough wood for cooking.
70 save coal Vienna and Budapest
nave decreed that all cafes and res
taurants must be closed BY 9 o'clock
This saves light, too. since there IS
nothing for people TO do but go to
i,e6. Berlin and other German cities
are better supplied, due to proximity
of German mines, but even here the
shortage would be disastrous were It
moi for warm weather.
