Army Is Leai1erlessi.

Amsterdam, March 26.-The work.
mans army, which continues to be-
siege Wesel is undisciplined and lead
erless and men are bleeding to death
in the trenches for lack Of doctors and
nurses, according to the picture which
the correspondent Of the Handelsblad
paints of conditions on the German
rebel, front. which he visited. The
whole thing is suggestive of q comic
opera war he adds.
The correspondent, who is M. Ny
pels, the writer who recently visited
Russia for this newspaper, induced
tho general staff Of the workm ems
army to permit him to spend two days
with the left wing of the army. The
roads in back of the lines are packed
with thousands Of refugees, the corre-
spondent telegraphs and scores Of
NURSES" dressed in the uniform of
tho Red Cross, crowd motor lorries or
ride horses which are badly needed at
the front. The gunners have to pull
their own ordnance.
'At the front before Wesel," says
the correspondent, "the reds fired
their big guns without preliminary OBJ
servation and patrols went out with
out instructions. The troops were sent
into the firing line without leaders.
while other soldiers returned without
orders, and still others died for lack
.of.'medical attention. @t
REX Food Is Plentiful.
..sWhile the food is plentiful at the
front, the field kitchens are away to
the rear. The lack OF communication
\ between the various sections OF the

It9would seem that every woman OF
the .proletariat in the Ruhr district
was behind the lines, continues the
correspondent, but despite this. state
OF affairs the rebels here made some
progress simply BECAUSE when one
soldier tires Of the fighting he goes
home and two others replace him.

army }is in the town hall of Duisberg
