BY THOMAS r. HENRY,

Germany probably is economizing
on brains.
In the last week the Canadian
army in Holland has taken 1900
prisoners fairly good haul when
it is considered that this has been in
straight front-to- front fighting with
no big pockets of surrounded Ger
mans. In the same time, the British
army bag on the same front has
been approximately 1000. The
Canadians have captured 80 officers
and the British 81.
Now battalion of infantry con-
sists of about 900 men. Normally
it carries in the British army 80
officers. The number is essentially
the same in all armies, including the
German. This means that the
officer prisoners have been about
one third of what might be eX-
pected, relative to the number OF
men in the ranks. Allowance must
be made for the fact that in this
war, in all armies, casualties among
officers are relatively greater than
among enlisted men. But they are
not three times as great.
The figures support report which
has been current for some time,
which is that the number of officers
in German units has been cut IN
half in the last month. This is
said to have been done IN order
to retain enough skilled soldiers,
capable of command responsibilities,
for the last-ditch fight from the
Siegfried Line to the Rhine and
thence to the interior of Germany.
Very probably, military observers
believe, this is wise move on the
part of the enemy to meet the crisis
of decreasing manpower reserves,
which is becoming acute.
To date, the enemy soldiers en-
countered and defeated by the
Allied armies have been a diverse
crowd - perhaps one-third or one
fourth of them loyal and even
fanatical Germans and the rest i'm
pressed Poles, Russians, Mongolians,
etc, who fought only because they
ldQ guns at JIlelT DdCkS.
Surrender by Thousands.
The latter have surrendered by
the thousands. Relatively few Ger
mans have surrendered. But with
the apparently large numbers OF
impressed troops the enemy has
been careless of manpoWer-since
the Poles and Russians have been
considered purely as cannon fodder
whose loss made no real difference.
Everything has depended on COM
petent officers and the present de-
crease will mean that the impressed
troops who are left and whose chief
purposes has been to get out OF the
war as quickly as possible presum-
ably will fight with less effective
ness.
Germany has not yet reached the
bottom of its own manpower bar
rel so far as fighting troops are con-
cerned. The best current estimate
is that approximately 100000 boys
are reaching the draft age OF 18
each year. Almost from infancy
they have received military train
ing, as we'll as Nazi indoctrination.
1t requires only few days to turn
them into competent soldiers.
Youth Is Mortgaged.
But actually Germany has mort
gagged its youth, to a considerable
extent, for some years in advance.
1t is not unusual to find among
prisoners boys of IS and 16-very
likely volunteers but volunteers
gladly accepted.
Such boys probably lop a fourth
off the number of new soldiers to
be expected from the l8-year-age
group each year.
But officers are different. They

ranking noncommissioned officers.
The noncoms probably are Just as
efncient whip-crackers, but are
without the technical knowledge of
the commissioned personnel who
cannot be replaced as easily as en-
listed men If they are killed or
captured.
The decrease in officers is having
its effect on the second and third
class personnel of the German
armies, and the impressed Poles
and Russians. These, to be any
good at all, need competent lead
ers, or men competent to hold guns
at their backs and make them
fight.
Initiative Lacking.
They make good cannon fodder

Music
Notes
Chilean Virtuoso
TO Play With
Philadelphians

The annual nonsubScription con-
cert Of the Philadelphia Orchestra,
under the direction of Eugene Or
mandy will take place as usual in the
holiday time, Tuesday, at $3.50 pm,
at Constitution Hall Visitors and
those who were confronted with a
sold-out house for the regular sea-
son will have an opportunity to hear
this famous organization at this
time.
Mr.. Ormandy will present the
eminent Chilean piano-virtuoso,
Claudio Arrau, who in two years
time has equalled Paderewski's best
tour record-72 performances. A
member of the Chilean diplomatic
staff, a cultural envoy charged with
promoting artistic relations between
Chile and other countries of South
and North America, Mr.. Arrau re-
ceived his musical education at the
expense of his government. He is
proud of the fact that he is native
OF a country which fosters native
talent and assures any promising
musician or painter the best of in
struction at home and abroad as
long as needed. The Chilean Gov
ernment operates its own music,
opera and ballet schools and also
presents weekly concerts, operas and
dramas, so that artists are assured
of an income. Mr.. Arrau will play
Schumann's "A minor Concerto"
Another soloist of the Tuesday
nights program will be William
Kincaid, first fautist of the orches-
ira, famous throughout this coun-
try. He will be heard in the solo
part of Kent Kennan's Might Soli-
loquy." The composer, now only 81,
has been in the Army for the past
two years. He belongs to the Amer
ican school of impressionists origi-
mated by Charles T. Critics.
The orchestra's main number of
the evening will be Haydns Mill
tary Symphony" so nicknamed for
the composers use of Turkish
Musike.'' The strident use of drum,
cymbals and triangle recalls the
type of sound which accompanied
the Saracens into battle. Other num-
bers on the program will be the
overture to Weber's The Frei-
schultz" and Smetana's The Mol
dau," which caused the composer
once to take refuge in Sweden.
