COULD NOT STOP POISONING"

The army was literally overwhelmed with the enemy's propaganda writings, whose grave danger was everywhere recognized. General Headquarters set prizes for turning them in: but they could not be prevented from poisoning the hearts. of our soldiers beforehand.

An appreciable weakening of the spirit of the army came through the soldiers who had been returned from Russian prison camps and who now, after a long leave, were again sent to the front. Numbers returned with lowered morale. then they refused to go to the front thinking that. like returned war prisoners from England and France, they would not have to fright any more. It had come to cer- tain serious scenes in Graudenz.
 In Beverloo plot of several hundred Alsacians was discovered who planned to escape into Holland. Tn the con- tinual withdrawal of troops from the east l was obliged to send Alsace LOT rainers again to the west. Here they were not well received.
 Even the reserves which became available from the special troops were for the most part unwilling to be placed in the infantry. There were many who saw in this dangers which until now they had been able to avoid.
 There was a great deal to assail the spirit of the troops in the west who had been weakened by influenza and discon- tented with monotcnous nourishment. In certain places. owing to the supplies which we had won in our attacks, the rationing was momentarily more varied but now began a scarcity of potatoes, although the harvest of the year before in Germany had been a particularly good one

The nation Is awakening to necessity of good roads and interest is being manifested in every city. township county and state.
 The world wants production and the way it is to open up the land by making it available with good roads.
