CENTERS OF RESSISTANCE NOW THE GERMAN PLAN. With the British Army in France, Aug. 13.—A captured epemy secret order signed ‘Ludeudorff’ lays stress on the necessity of economizing men. The order asserts that the two vele- ments essential to. the’ future conduct of the war are to “maintain every- wherc our fighting strength and the pirit of offensive.” The document was issued late in June. “It is essential” says the order, “that all the commanders of whatever rank, as well as all troops, should be imbyed with the idea that the war cannot be won by a stubborn defense, but -enly by a further succeasion of vigorous attacks. These attacks, how- ever, cannot lead to victory unless we adhere to and impreve on the methods of warfare adopted in the regent of- Yensives. - “Tt is absolutely essential that we shovuld avoid our old fault of attack- ing in too dense formations and we shoulg reduce our casualties by every possible means.” The order ity 50 frank in explaining strength, it frequently will be impos- sible to hold continuous trench lines of centers cf resistance. a o = ~ ment warns commanders base, and driven by Willium Burew,i 5 The documen wheti Longo saw the Ford rounding |tAat should the enemy obtain a foot- hold within the German lines they must consider carefully whether a counter-attack is necessary or weorth sking a large number of 1iveés. The value that the Germans placed on ground tha: they have lost is seen in a captured order signed by General Von Hutier, drawing attention to the difficulties in Germany's economic sit- uation and calling on his traops to assist in affording all possible relief in regard to fo0d supplies.

A lrench girl asked. reople use their money they are at home? I asked her why she asked. She said why there is not a thing that they dom't do to help comfort the French. great help the Americans were giving to their war orphans and said that she was at a station where the Amer- ican boys were throwi drum so she inquired what the idea was. much money that they did not know what to do with it, but learned that war orphans the boys were giving and fifteen francs apiece and she won- dered money left for themselves and you know that fifteen francs is only worth about $2:50 in God's money, it would take a rich Frenchman give that much money as a French soldier only gets about five cents a day.

So you can see that hat spirit of Sullivan’s is just the Syme in France. n regarcs to the war I dop't think You ought to worry as it is not a matter of vears; it is only a matter Of months. 1 suppose it Is hard on fhe parents to see their hoy go away but don't forget that Uncle Sammy i in back of the boys ard he never went to war untl he was right and he always finished right, so when this i over we will be done with war forever; 0, dear mother, cheer up, 1 am coming back to ‘you sooner than you expeci me and let all the beys get in- to the service and come over here, and when Bill finds out that there are three million of us here he will quit his job and tell the people to gov ern and then there will be peace for- ever.

If you had weather in your place like we have it here a garden would look like a cold storage piant. It certainly is a funny climate and is an advantage in a way. When working it is just what is required, but eleeping in the open, on the ground, is anether proposition. I can't say tha¥ I've killed all the Germans I've seen. In fact, according to army regulations, 'm a non-com- batant, and it wouldn't do to wear a Red Cross and a gun. too. But for all of that I've seen guite a few, per- haps a total of five hundred. “square- heads” or Germans, and Fve seen many of them that I have almost, well you might say pitied. Those men were some who were wounded and st le to walk. I saw one prisoner, a little chap, that was rather amnsinz, } IHe wasn't over five feet in height and wore the regulation German army boot, which resembles the old “cow- hides” in the gtates. Ie also wore a German_helmet, and that's where he looked funny. Perhaps you won't see it as I did, but one of those German heimets, unlike the allied helmets, are made to cover the hack of the neck, and the ears, und on this little fellow/ almost completely covered his face, and perhaps it wasn't a sight to see him plugging along with those big boots and heimet. Most of the pris- oners are, or seem, pleased to be in the hands of the American soldiers. Occasionally an obstinate one is picked up 2nd has to be persuaded a little, but as a general rule they haven't any objections to being away from their own command. Many of them have rather peculiar and sometimes sorrowful tales to tell of how things are going back of their own lines, and most of these you read in the papers at home. One of the most common things that are told, and ‘it is verified by the men that take them, is that they are chained to their machine guns so they can't leave their posts. 1 sec in the Plainfield paper vou sent that that town and its adjoining villages are well represented in the service of Uncle Samuel. 1 haven't had the pleasure of meeting any of them over here, but I have met a voung fellow from Norwich named Wignall.
