GERMAN SOLDIERS HOPING FOR PEACE Teutons Are Resentful because Their Officers Remain Well Back from the Fighting Front. OFFICERS LOSSES GREAT Canadian Headquarters in France, Oct. 1. Reports that tne rank and file of the enemy troops have a great longing for peace is confirmed by every prisoner captured. One of their chief grievances is the failure of their higher officers to take risks. Even company commanders freely depute to the under officers their duty while in the trenches, and remain well back from the front. This is so different from the rela tions between our officers and mep that it is freely impressed on the minds of the Germans on every oc casion when there is hand-to-hand fighting, in which our officers invaribly lead their men, while the German offi cers jseldom do so. They are not acu ated by fear and it must b6 assumed that they are' obeying ordres in thus hanging back. Very great losses of the German officer class early in the war may have made it necessary to conserve their leaders. Whatever is the reason for their failure to take risks as great as those to which their men are subjected , the latter discon tented, c BIS ENGLISH He knew his Latin very well, He also knew his Greek, And German, French and Spanish all With fluency could 'speak.
