GERMAN FLEET CAN
BE CRUSHED.FROM
.LAND, EXPERT SAYS '.
members of tho latest expedition to
reacti France.
A lull seems to have fnlkn over the
fighting in tho Woovre district, title to
the thick fog which made It Impossible
for the troops to undertake nny opciu
tlons for fear that friend would attack
friend.
Prlnco Adalbert, a eon of Llrnpeitir
William, 13 reported to have met hla
death upon tho battlefield from a CJei
man bullet. According to this tumor,
the Prince, who was In ad'-ance of his
troops, was shot by mistake and not
by design.
French military authorities deny that
the Germans have weakened any of tho
forts south of Verdun. On the con
trary, It Is said, tho German troops If
that district arc mennced on three sltct
by the French.
Moro optimism was foil hero today
than nt nny other time slnco tho bnttlo
of tho Aline began despite the silence
Imposed by the French Government
In tho opinion of competent authorities
big movements tiro under wny on the
part of the French and British, which
accounts for tho stricter censorship.
Those movements, It is believed, will
terminate tho light In favor of the
Allies.
The Germans are reported to hnvo
b. en driven from n number of the stone
tit jrrles which they occupied near th"
co' Ivine of the Oise and the Alsne In
I inlty nf Complegne However, a
r cf these natural ft rtresses are
the hands of the Germans. ho
r, r es are so Immense that each is
t.v ib'.e of ho'dlr.g about a thousan 1
m and n considerable quantity cf
ammunition and provisions They are
co"-ccted with subterranean passages
v 'ia'-p been utilised as well as the
rr Un mbers.
t( pgra i frrm Oeneva says that a
of On man artillery was sent
3t soil In an effort to secure
tag -)us osition to the south
of the French right wing, but tho men
were captured and disarmed. They
proved willing captives, not having
eaten anything for six days eveept
some raw vegetables and a llttlo fruit.
A picture of buffering Is brought from
the German tines by prisoners, most of
whom pas3 through Paris on their way
to detention camps In the southwest.
The Get mans arc camped In miles of
underground trenches and galleries
titong tho Alsne Hlvcr. Tho autumnal
Weather, with Its warm sunshine In tho
day time, damp nights and bitterly cold
dawns, is cxtiemely trying to tho men,
who nro compelled to spend cvciy
minute In the same section of tho damp,
dark, deptesslng earthworks.
If the men step from their trenches
to level ground they do so at tho tisk
of their lives. At night tho chance of
un unexpected attack from the Allies
Is po great that every German soldier
must be at his post In the narrow ditch,
which is his homo and defense, sleeping
the best ho can with his rlllo at his
side. lie must bo able to spring up any
hour of the night to repel an attacking
force whose cold steel gleams at hi
throat. Most of the nights are dark
and the sentries, whose nerves have
been tried to the breaking point, often
fire their rlt'.es at the most innocent
sounds, bringing the whole advance
post up nt the double quick. Such
nlarms occur every night, bringing
fresh weariness to tho already ex
hausted soldiers.
German toldlers arc suffeilng fright
fully from the Insanitary conditions In
their trenches and from the lack of
substantial food.
Tho German trench system Is elabo
rate. It constitutes a whole subter
ranean town with mnln thoroughfares,
side streets and a telephone system.
There thousni-ds of men eat and sleep
so well concealed that men at tho
foot of the slope can see nothing but
tho b.mks of earth.

Despite the censored news, the situation along the battle lines in France is believed to favor the Allies, except possibly in Verdun-Toul region, where
the Germans have broken through the line of forts at St. Mihiel. The French, however claim to have prevented their advance here from taking on the
character of a flankmg movement against the French rear. On the western wing, the fighting is of a most violent hand-to-hand character, but it is believed
the French troops have taken position far to the north of the Aisnc and near the Somme and to have repulsed Von Kluk's attack near Noyon and Ribecourt.
Further north the reported attacks at Bajaume, north of St. Quentin, are believed to mark a French movement toward the Belgium frontier, which may be the
reason for the reported burning of Mons by the Germans.
