Thoio was wild weather Sunday
night, with a gnle of wind blowing
nnil heavy rainstorms over the battle
fields. I was In n tilnce where there
were many ruined houses, nnd as the
wind howled theie were clashes when
bits of maMjnry fell Into the streets.
It was bitter cold for the brave
tioops, nnd Monday morning some of
them I met had chattering teeth, after
n night without sleep, but they en-
dun these discomforts hinely, nml
the vision of lctory keeps them waim
In soul, If not In body.
".My men," said an oftlccr of the

That it their only thought. Yet these

there are bitter accounts among the
men as to the. reason of their debacle,
Their spirit Is breaking. All that I
said rocenlly about the deterioration of
tho Oerman morale, the partial cracking
of their discipline and their war in.v
chine Is borne out by Oerman orders
captured by Kngllsh and Canadian
troops. One of them. Issued before the
beginning of the battle on last Friday
morning, stated that the lllndenburg
line was their winter position and that
not a foot of ground must be lost. That
proves the absolute Intention of the Her
man commnnd to Yiold out on this line
and the rteatness of the defeat that
came to them.
Other orders reveal dlsmav at the
state of mind among their soldiers, nnd
that Is our best knowledge. In one
order. Issued to the 187th Division,
which the Canadians met and shattered,
It pass:
'The morale and discipline of our men
have plainly decreased, owing In the
first place to the stem of elastic de
fense, whlc'i leads men to believe ground
Is of no value, and secondly, to tho lack

There Is alo lack of personality among

Coal Customers
TF YOU have ordered your coal from Lloyd,
don't worry. Even if you have not yet received
two-thirds of it, don't worry. You will get your share,
and get it in your turn. If you are entirely out, we can
probably send you a ton or so for pressing needs. If
you are a customer of ours and have not yet ordered,
do it promptly.
Some sizes are more plentiful than those most in
demand. If we haven't the exact size you want, let us
s.how you how to use the sizes we have. The fact is, any
size coal can be effectively used if you know how to
handle it.
Rich or poor, big or little, the Fuel Administration
assures everybody a "square deal." Don't forget that and
