The reports in dicatc that these soldiers are of such morale that they hardly will be avail able for operation of any extent. The number of men in the army, reports reaching Coblenz suggest, is decreasing rapidly
 The new volunteer army numbers between 100000 and 300.0G0 men of doubtful morale. as they have not yet been organized fully nor tested fairly. The volunteer army which is being or gaDiZed for the purpose of stopping Polish and holshevik inVasions of Ger man territory, has 4O.000 men in the region of Frankfort-ou the Oder. Many volunteer battaions also are re- ported moving eastward.
 The organized German army con SISts of the classes of 1898 and 1899 less some men discharged because they live in occupied territory, less large numbers of deserters and less some men discharged according to demob- l.zation plans. The officers and non commissioned offers of this army are men who intend to remain permanent lv in the service
 Evidence is said to be conclusive that th6 troops in the depots have assumed inc attitude of drawing their pay and oning as little as possible until they arc discharged
