Concrete information obtained from thousands of prisoners taken by the Americans in recent operations, doe-s not indicate an appreciable breakdown of German morale, according to examining officers, ll Jvi 1 1*110 fnnl Iw/lUflrllloliJ Annnol/??nllti ... v.

It is explained that a man's morale is naturally at the lowest ebb at the moment of capture, and is usually shaken by fighting, exposure, fatigue and possibly lack of food. At such times men are inclined to say things which they would retract after rest and nourishment. Great val ue, therefore, is not placed on prisoners' utterances reflecting on the true conditions in the German army and among the people. At any rate, the authorities say that the number of Germans uttering such sentiments :s not great. Many thousands of prisoners already are in the hands of the Americans, and this number is being constantly increased by incessant raids. Some of them refuse to reply to questions on any subject or say that Germany is far from defeat. They usually maintain a soldierly bearing and sullenly resent capture. The correspondent has seen and inspected hundreds of prisoners. Those captured lately measure up well with the usual standard. Men over or under the narmal military age are found, but the same is true of other European armies long- at war, whose personnel it is unfair to measure by the high ' physical standard of the American troops. From a great mass of digested prisoner information and observations from other sources military au?thorities say they find the enemy well fed and well clothed. While his morale is not as high as it was early in the summer, he is far from losing his fighting qualities and spirit. This was recently demonstrated in the bitter fighting along the Maine, at St. Mihiel and St. Quentin. Study of captured material show that the German soldiers' clothing is of good quality and is plentiful. Their rations are g< nrrous and nutritious which is testified to by American soldiers who ate rations taken from the dead and wounded who.

Mrs. Minnie Philpot, of this place, writes: "Five years ago I was taken with a pain In my left side. It was right under my left rib. It would commence with an aching and extend up Into my left shoulder and on down Into my back. By that time the pain would be so severe I would have to take to bod, and suffered usually about three days ...I suffered this way for three years, and got to be a mere skeleton and was . so weak I could hardly stand alone. Was not able to go anywhere and had to let my house work go...I suffered awful with a pain in my back and I had the headache all the time. I just was unable to do a thing. My life was a misery* my stomach got in an awful condition, caused from taking so much medlcino. I suffered so much pain. I had just about given up all hopes of our getting anything to help me.

The Berlin dispatch says that the imier's act "is a single-handed ve without the consent of King rdinand."

I Six months ago today the groat German offensive began. For weeks; victory seemed about to perch on! | the German banners. Toda> the allied star is in the ascendancy. Anxiety and encouragement, do-, pression and joy, have succeeded j each other since at dawn on March ) 21 the greatest buttle of history began. It has been a period of almost! incessant fighting and of bewildering changes in the situations that de-1 veloped from day to day anil from week to week. The allies knew it faced Germany's j mightiest effort last March, but U stood unafraid. Released by the collapse of Russia as a belligerent pow-, or vast numbers of German veteian*1 had been rushed to the western front and the offensive by which th * Teutonic war lords dreamed that ihey might force upon the world a German peace. Germany made no cecret of her intention. U was even known where the Germans would launch their first attack and for weeks before March 21 the eyes of the allies had been fixed on the long curving line from La Fere to Arras .is the stage where the first act of the great drama would be enacted. Moving with a swiftness that earned concern to every entente nation the German forces swept over the British lines in Picardy and rolled westward like a tidal wave during the closing days of March at last the British reached positions where they could stand at bay and the French had come to form a living wall before the gray clad host of the German emperor. Then the offensive stopped. Hardly had its rush been checked than the line between Lefts and Ypres was attacked by the Germans and again the British lines swayed backward. This advance of the enemy went on until it reached the high ground to the southward of Ypres and then it, too, was stopped. A pause followed for nearly a month and then on May 27 the Ger' mans suddenly broke through the French lines north of the Aisne river and smashed their way southward until they had reached the Marne over a wide front east of Chateau Thierry. No sooner had the momentum of this drive been taken up by the yielding defense of the French troops than a new assault was made by the Germans, who this time tried to break the lines between Montdidier and Noyon and link up the Picardy and Marne sectors. Foch Conserved Strength It was here that the world had tho 5 first intimation that the allied arI mics, which since late in March had I been under the supreme command ol t , Marshal Foch, had been pursuing a - j de finite policy and had conserved - their strength against the time when it might be used with good effect. The German attack east of Mont11 didier came to a pause after six days : of terrible fighting in which the Ger mans suffered frightful losses and ' the Fi-encii, for the first time since i the German offensive began, struck back at the invaders. ?- ' o GREAT BRITAIN NOW mou/inno amou/ch runnnnuo Huowcn London ?

The Americans advanced to a depth of seven miles, overcom ing the stubborn resistance of tho ' enemy. Pennsylvania, Kansas and j Missouri troops were among the fighting forces which, in less than a day, won territory of great importance to the enemy and further depleted his .army through men capture ed or killed, or wounded. 1 British troops have invaded Bulj gnria from the north, o1* L ake Doiran j in Macedonia, making another epoch | in the history of the war.

"""? Meantime days of adversity continue with the Teutonic allies in ; southern Serbia and Palestine, and the British snd French are keeping up their maneuvers which are gradually bringing the important town of St. Quentin into their hands. Likewise the Turks in Palestine are being sadly harassed by the forces of the British General ALlenby ! and the tribesmen of the King of the I Hcdjaz. Almost- surrounded east of ! the Jordan the Turks are frantically I endeavoring to extricate themselves from the converging allied forces. Drive Means Much. Taken in conjunction with the allied offensive, which has materially j bent back the German front in Flan! tiers, Artois and Picardy, an<l along ! the Aisne, the new drive of Marshal I Focli in the south will bear impori tant fruit if it meets with success. Driving northward the entire Western battle .front would be shaken and of necessity be compelled to re1 adjust itself. j The Americans, through, the cap| ture of Gerieourt, northwest of Veri dun, are in the Mouse valley, which I leads northward to Sedan, and a liti tie farther west at Varennes have I won the Aire valley, which winds in a northwesterly direction to Vouziores. A successful advance along these two valleys for any appreciably distance would be disastrous to the German lines from the North Sea to the Swiss frontier.
