Mr.. Fite was born near Gainesville,

One could only have concentra ted
them on certain routes but whether
the troopships would choose the same
routes at the same time was the ques-
ton. AS soon as the enemy heard of
submarines anywhere. he could always
send the ship fresh orders by wireless
and unload at another port.
1t was. therefore, not certain that
by this method we should meet with
a sufficient number of troopships. The
destruction of the enemy's freight ton
mage would then have been undertaken
only spasmodically. and would have
been set back in an undesirable man
ner; and in that way the submarine
war would have become diverted from
it's original object.
The submarine war against commerce
was, therefore, continued with all the
vigor possible.
According to the information avail
able, the enemy's remaining tonnage
and his food supply were reduced
that the hope of attaining our object
by this means wns justified. The short
age of cargo space, at any rate, was
established.
CAT the time of which Ludendorff
writes, American troopships were I'M

which tried to interfere with them
were roughly handled).
AGAIN DEMANDS MORE MEN
In April ] again approached the war
ministry with the request that the
withdrawal of reclaimed men from mu-
milton work might be carried out more
strictly.
The only increase in drafts that l
received in the future was furnished
by prisoners of war returned from
Russia General headquarters now fell
back on it's own resources of men, and
prepared its own drafts from the troops
of the eastern army and Rumania, as
we'll as from among the technical arms
and line of communication troops. But
these could not suffice unless the gov
ernulent released the reclaimed men and
took energetic action against deserters
and skrimshankers.
Our troops had fought well; but the
fact that certain divisions had OBJ
to attack in the plain of the Lys pro-
sided food for thought. However,
in that low-lying, intersected country
proper artillery support that this phe-
nomeuon did not cause grave anxiety.
On the other hand the why in which
the troops stopped around captured
supplies, while individuals stayed be-
pind to search houses and farms for
rood, were serious matters. This im-
paired success and showed poor dis
cipline. But it was equally serious

Even in dealing with the army COM
manders all 1 could do was to point
out and emphasize that the mainten-
ance of discipline was the first es-
sential. The commanding officers had
to be instructed as to the powers and
means of dispensing justice al their
disposal All army commanders were
convinced of the iron necessity of ex-
erting their influence accordingly.
With that, all that could be done
from outside was done; it now became
the duty of the troops to display the
strength required to keep their discip-
line unimpaired. Here again all de-
pended upon the officer. And II the
discipline in units became slack, the
commanders are not without fault.
