Dead of Prussian Guard
Cover Soissons War Ground
With the French Armies in the Field, Sept. 3.—The battle
for the plcateau north of Soissons has used up some of the
best divisions remaining in the German army. Yesterday's
righting between Crecy-au-Mont and Leuilly and between
Juvigny and Terny was particularly severe.
This was evidenced to-day by the field being strewn with
the dead of the Prussian guards. Long lines of them show
where the guards counterattacked five times in a vain effort
to stem the onslaught.

Baptism of Fire
"We got ouv baptism of fire on
August 14 ana 15," said the Lieu
tenant, "where south of the Murne
in the region of Chateau Thierry we
were under German bombardment
for twenty hours consecutively.
"Under this fire my company lostj
two men Killed and about eighty
wounded. Mose of the casualties
were front shrapnel, high explosives
or gas and more than seventy-five
per cent, of those sent back to the]
hospital recovered. Indeed, tho:
death rate is exceptionally low for |
the number of men laid out.
"When the Marines had gone
through Chateau Thierry we were
ordered in to take up the drive
against the Germans and up to the
time 1 left we had driven them back
for thirty-five miles, taking immense
numbers of prisoners, about 34,0u0
in all for our division alone, hun
dreds of guns and millions of rounds
pf ammunition of all kinds, which
we found in dugouts sometimes as
many as four and five stories under-I
ground. Our ammunition wagons J
bring up our own ammunition and
take back the captured German
stuff. A significant fact is that much
of this German ammunition was
marked "1918." indicating a small]
reserve supply in the enemy's hands.]
"When our boys went into the
open fighting beyond Chateau Thier
ry it was l'ke hunting rabbits. We
went right after them and we were
so close at places that we could hear
their bodies fall as the men of our
division shot them down. They
fought mostly wits artillery and ma
chine guns, in an effort to save the
retreating intantry and stores, but
we were so close on their heels that
many a time we captured their soup
still hot, where they had been pre
paring their dinners.
German Morale Broken
"The men at the machine guns
kept up their fire from the nests pre
pared from them in advance and after
they had shot as many Americans as
they could, attempted to surrender,
but In many cases the Americans had
bayoneted them before they had time
to signify their willingness to quit.
The Americans were taking no
chances.
"We found them in depressions and
in trees and not a few Huns were
brought down like squirrels from the
i topmost branches. One German of
ficer of artillery I found nepr his
gun. He was dead and hrjj; body was
still warm. A half-finished letter to
his friends hack home told the tale.
He had been assigned to defend the
retreating Germans to the last breath
and said he knew his time was near.
The army had no meat except the
] artillery horses killed by French
shells, he said, and he had had a
quantity of French wheat, which he
found growing in the fields covered
by the German thrust, threshed and
was sending it back to his family
In Germany.
"One of the American regiments
found three women in uniform in one
of the captured French trenches.
Whether they were fighting or not I
do not know. But generally speaking
X believe the German manpower is
running low and I am certain the
morale of the troops is breaking. I
know the Germans were driven by
their own men with machine guns
across to our side of the Marne and
I know that those we did not kill
were captured. None of them ever
got back and most of them seemed
glad to be out of it. They believe
that the cause of Germany Is hopeless

should lie be forced to take refuge
behind them.
On tho northern half of the Drn
court-Queant battile front there were
some 3,000 prisoners in the cages
last night. Thousands more had been
taken to tho hospitals wounded,
while probably more than 2,000 ad
ditional captures had been made on
the southern half of the front.
In one place along the line of bat
tle eight German divisions—or rath
er four comparatively fresh divisions
and the remnants of four other divi
sions—were fighting against three i
British divisions. An officer from one
of these enemy divisions, which was
the Second Guard Reserves, said,
however, rhat his division had been
in the fighting for more than a week
and that its effectives would number
less than a thousand men. In his
battalion only himself and twenty
four men had survived, he declared.
He added that the German losses
had been heavier than any they had
suffered previously.
In their push northeastward along
the Bapaume-Cambrul road the Brit
ish have reached Beugny. (Unoffi
cial advices from London this morn
ing reported the British in to-day's
advance to have pushed some three
and one-liulf miles beyond tnis
point).
The town of Villers-Au-FloK,
southeast of Bapaume, was in Brit
ish bands early last evening after se
vere fighting. After taking Soilly-
Saillisel the British pushed on across
the Bapaume-Peronne road and in
the fighting just to the north were
well on their way toward Rocquignv.
The Germans were in heavy force in

BACK OF WILSON
[Continued from First Page.]
reform with a meat ax showing how
to get rid of the constitution.
Scores Wilson Envoy
In criticising Colonel House, Sena
tor Sherman said as personal repre
sentative envoy of the President
while abroad he "exercised unofficial
and usurped powers of government"
and "his gratuitous advice to settle
the U-boat dispute provoked the de
rision of Germany and the impatience
of the Allies."
Secretary Baker was referred to
as "one who thinks of the war as
three thousand miles away, tulks
] glibly of quantity production of com
bat airplanes delays three months the
draft law amendment of 1918, op- j
poses universal military training and
says Washington's soldier's at Valley
Forge were drunkards and chicken
thieves, only to be declared by exe
cutive proclamation to be the most
capable official that distinguished
functionary ever knew."
Regarding Secretary of Commerce
Redtield, Senator Sherman said he
had made "some sparkling contribu
tions to trade," including the "shock
ing information that high cost of liv
ing was caused by too many delivery
wagons; an epic on tlsh and clams
along with a sonnet or two on sheep
killing dogs."
Former Secretary Bryan, the Sena
tor declared, resigned when he had
"played second fiddle long enough
and ' his power for harm had
waned.' "
'Politics began there and have
never ndjourned since in domestic
affairs," said Mr. Sherman. "Was
there ever a more sordid revelation
of selfish, time-serving politics with
the first executive office next only
to the President shuffled about as
plunder to suit partisan ends?"
Declaring the administration seeks
even to dictate Republican candidates
in Republican states, the Senator
said, "Ford is to be made Senator
from Michigan by executive order."
Denouncing what he described as
Socialistic plans of "a, coterie of
politicians gilded and plated by a
group of theorizing, intolerent intel
lectuals," Senator Sherman contin
ued:
"Government control is a mere
name. As now exercised by this ad
ministration it is the threshold of
permanent political ownership and
operation.
"On all questions related to labor
Gompers virtually is president. Bur
leson controls the physical agencies
for communication of thought and
McAdoo the railways and country's fi
nances. Strip off the mask of alleged
government ownership and see be
, hind it the revealed political owner
' shtp and control of Gompers, Bur
, leson and McAdoo for partisan pur
poses to be used relentlessly to se
lect party candidates now and in
1920 a president.
"Politics adjourned. Worse, more
rampant, rancorous partisan politics
never abused the patriotism and gen
erous confidence of a great nation.
Against the clandestine partisan poli
tics of this administration, hidden
under the thick clouds of war, I raise
my voice seasonably In remons
trance."

ECONOMY URGED !
BY DR. DOWNES :
[Continued from First Page.] :
the government requires of us. War ;
is the business of our nation at the .
present time, and war must needs J
have first attention. Wo are all im- j
bued, I am sure, with a desire to do
our part to bring about a successful
issue. Let us make every effort to
surpass our splendid record of last
year, in Jhe purchase of Liberty
Bonds and War Savings Stamps, in 1
our direct contributions to the war i
agencies, in our Junior Red Cross
work, in our war gardens and war ;
teaching and in all forms of patriotic 1
service."
I'lun Americanization
Dr. Downes then calls attention to
the inauguration of the American
ization plan under John H. Blckley,
supervisor of special activities, plans
for which have already been sub
mitted to the school directors and
approved by them. One of the first
steps will be to make a foreign sur
vey In Harrisburg and the assistance
of all teachers and principals will
be asked. Further plans for the com
munity center work and education
of foreigners will be announced
when completed.
As conservation measures Dr.
Downes suggests a careful watch of
the classroom thermometer to avoid
overheating and the saving of paper.
Speaking of these plans he advises;
"I would suggest to principals that
certuin of the older pupils be chosen
to make hourly records of the tem
peratures in the various rooms and
at these records be followed up
from day to day.
Schools Overcrowded
"Such records will be helpful in
remedying overheating and in fuel
saving. The shortage in paper is also
serious and we should make a special
effort to conserve here. Both sides of
the sheet should be used. In the
lower grades, particularly the first
grade, the sheets should be cut in
two, at least for some assignments.
Have work on paper, where possible,
more compactly arranged. Discon
tinue unusual margins. In every way
not incompatible with good teaching,
save paper. The same rule should
apply in the care of books and sup
plies and of all school property.
Teach and practice economy. This is
a special duty at this time."
Overcrowded conditions in the
schools are mentioned together
with the building work under way to
help relieve the situation. Other im
portant changes in school manage
ment are reviewed briefly; also the
wor work which has been acomplish
ed. Dr. Downes commends the edu
cational spirit shown by the fact
that about 800 pupils entered the
High schools to-day.
Instructions for the transfer of
pupils, attendance records and other
details in the organization of classes
for the fall term are given in the
letter.
All schools opened to-day with only
a few minor adjustments to make,
by afternoon classes were being
formed. Building operations will not
interfere with the Camp Curtin
school officials said. The new open
air school was opened. It will be
formally dedicated next month.
In the High schools all upper
classmen were assigned to sections
during the morning and the neces
sary books and supplies distributed.
This afternoon hundreds of freshmen
assembled at the various grade
school buildings for the last
time and then proceeded to the High
schools to be assigned. To-morrow
morning these classes will be organ
ized and ready for work. At both
High schools because of overcrowded
conditions double sessions are neces
sary. Prof. Walter E. Severance, the
new principal at Central High school,
succeeding Prof. H. G. Dibble, who
resigned, took charge for the first
time to-day.
