ORDER OF BATTLE OF A
GERMAN DIVISION C1VEN
German Order Captured on the
Battle Field—Storm Troop*
and Liquid Fire Throwers.
Ottawa. Ont., April 2.—A German
; order raptured on the battle field.
-ay* Renter'* correspondent:, tele
! urraphing from French headquarter*
{ in France describe* the order of battle
of a German division in the present
offensive at follows:
"The division advances in two regi
mental groups progressing side by
! <idc. The first line of each group con
sists first of one regiment of three
battalions of infantry whoee task is
1 to advance straight upon their objec
tives, regardless of losses, leaving the
work of reducing oar centers of resis
tance to special detatchments follow
ing them. These consist, first of one
and one-half machine gun company.
| a half company of sappers, one de
tatchmcnt of liquid flame throwers,
! half a heavy trench mortar company.
| one battery of light trench mortars.
' and two batteries of what is called in
| fantry gun.i In reserve come the
1 third infantry regiment and a divis
ion of five tanks of British origin and
' an important group consisting of {wo
j cyclist companies and one company of
, storm troops.
"This division is supported by 12
batteries of field (runs and six of
heavy artille-y, irdudinj a battery
jo# eiirht inck howitxers.
"According to prisoners a number
[of enemy battalions Have n >tt got
■special lifftlt trench mortar dctach
, ments. known as infantry artillery,
1 equipped with two light trench mor
tars of a new model mocntcd on spe
cial high speed wheels, supposed to be
capable of firing 30 rounds a mniute
against tanks or other obstacles. The
I personnel of each detachment com
prises two officers and 40 men.
"It is apparent from the foregoing
that the whole appartus for destroy
ing our renters or resistance has been
relegated to the second line, the cele
brated storm troops, sappers with ex
plosive* ami light trench mortars in
Ktead of being first to follow aft*,
the waves of infantry have swept over
the position. The mission of these
specialists remains the same. They
clear the trenches, reduce strong
point*, bomb recalcitrants from dug
outs, but while they are doing this
the battle I* sweeping miles further
at aay rate, ia anticipation."
itfUil i H inM— • minimum

I am glad to bring this message to
you boys, for y~i are w b«y«; be
1 fore taking your leave from your na
! tive homes, your mothers and fathers,
your loved ones and friends, there
fore the message that I brine 10 you
tonight before leaving is, endura hard
ness as a good soldier. First, as a
good soldier of Jeaus Christ, second as
' a good soldier of the nation which ha*
called you and will now train you and
will send you forth to fight its bot
tles and defend its honor. This is a
time of strictest religious fervor, and
the highest national patriotism. Jus
tice has not always been meted out
Co us as a race nor a people. Many
things that have been done to a. have
I been very offensive unto us, but we
have borne it all with a patience un
paraleted on the part of any people.
There is too much love in our hearts
for our native country where we have
| been bom and where we are native
to the (oil, and too much loyalty in
our htarts to and for our Governmant,
[ for or to think of the wrongs that
have been done to aa.
I want Co inspire the hearts of jroa
j hoys with the thought of the found
| ing of this Republic. When the col
I oni'ts were in a death struggle, and
' under the yoke of oppression by the
mother country, and yonder on the
Commons of Bon ton when the first
guns were tired, and the first man that
, fell was a Negro, who shed the first
| Mood in the American Revolution.
This is the one thing that should
make all of our hearts heave with
pride, to know that the blood of
Crispus Attucks first reddened the
soil upon which the foundation of this
great government stands. And in
every war since that time the Negro
has played his part loyally. The war
of 1812, the Civil war, the Spanish
American war and even at Carrinial
in Mexico a short while sine*, the
^ Negro has shed his blood freely for
his country and nation. We bid yoa
God's speed on leaving us for the
samp«. God help you to be faithful;
obey and respect your superiors, be
trained for the highest efficiency and
if the time will come for you to show
your prowess you will hold up the tra
ditions of the race and give a good ac
count of yourselves. And when the
time shall come for you to jm across
the waters, trust in Gotland keep your
powder dry to face conditions over
there.
