BRYSON For Repreaentetiva in tfie Sixty-sixth Congreaa—Fifth Diatrict. CHARLES M. STEDMAN Immmy Tracy* M«r Terribly Long period of fighting without the slightest respite, the annihilatlen of whole formation*, and the thorough hammering they have received have nerved to fix the idea of saving them selves foremost in the minds of the German troops. Every prisoners in hi* comments on the great battle, seems to hear this out. Almost every diary and every letter taken from Germans killed show that the enemy troops on the wesern front have suf fered from the long continued light ing as never before. A typical excer pt from an unposted letter says: "We are in mortal danger every day. We cannot last much longer. We cannot hope for further successes. Our enemy is superior to ns In num bers and everything else.. Victory now is out of the question." Many letter* end with the words. "Poor Germany." The German shortage in men in this locality may well he imagined by the fact that among the pirsoners taken are men who were received as drafts in the infanry formation after having been combed out of the field bakery establishments and motor transport columns. One man in a typical letter com plain* that the strength of his own artrt several other crrmpanie# has been reduced to less than 20 each; yet they were forced to hold on. He concludes: "If the Tommies knew that, we would not be here long." Asa matter of fart, the "Tommies" do know it, and the allied commanders •re well aware of the depletion in the Cerman ranks. The German soldiers, bo far as th?y pan he judged hy the prisoners taken, realize fujly the na ture of the present retreat. They know that their vain effort to hold their •uccessive lines of defence means that they are in for another winter ram paign, with the terrible ordeal of an unsuccessful war, and the prospect ills them with the deepest depression. German Casualties Heavy. The casualties inflicted by the Brit ish sheila have been larger prehaps than ever before, because the (run ners, advancing closely behind the in fantry, have had many opportunities on this terrain, which alternately is •lightly rolling and not to lay on their weapons with open sights and pour • rapid Are of steel into theb oches. The artillery has materially helped to increase the number if prisoners by throwing completely out of gear all the enemy rationing :(rrangements. The emptier a Cerman rtomach, the wiori> docile is its owner. Still more has the artillery helped to catch pris oners by dropping barrages behind large groups, cutting off their ret»eat And all this fire has had its effect in even mom way*. Prisoners, who had recently been in Peronne, said they saw a great many men there whose nerves had been r -npletely shaf t-ed. Perronne at the tune was being bombed from the •ir almost continuously. One air plane after another was flying over in rapid iu<Tt""K». literally raining bombs on the Germans and inflicting heavy casualties beside* cau Ing nvieh material damage.
