LONDON, Oct. 12.—The news
j brought by a neutral from Germany
! is that our chief enemy is unshaken
j but getting rather down at the heel,
j This witness, who tells his story in the
i Daily Mail through Mr. Frederick
t William Wile, was in Germany recent
■ ly and toured the country from end to
I end. He says:
! “My mission was to sound every
! class of German opinion as to the
| future of the war. I have interviewed
| bankers, manufacturers, high state of
! ficials, merchants, diplomats, working
| men and common soldiers.
“I am a graduate of a German uni
i versity and have known German ways
! and habits of thought for 13 years,
I most of the time as a resident of that
j country. I flattered myself at the
j outset that Germans would not be
! able to deceive me when I sought to
] find out what is really at the back of
1 their heads.
“They succeeded in convincing me
that they genuinely believe they will
win the war. They do not appear to
be able to produce any very tangible
evidence on which to base their belief;
but the belief is there.
Peace—After Victory.
“Everybody wants peace.
• “ ‘Wenn nur dieser grasslicher Krieg
voruber ware!’ (if only this hideous
war were over) is heard on all sdies.
But nowhere did I encounter any de
sire to pile arms on the basis of a de
feated fatherland. There is no Stop
the-War party.
“I am quietly amused by English
people’s curiosity to know if the Ger
mans are starving. They are nowhere
near starvation. The crops are good,
somewhat better than the average. If
they are satisfactorily harvested there
will be nothing to prevent the Ger
mans, as far as food is concerned,
from fighting for another year at
! least.
"The army is being fed just as well
and comfortably as it was two years
ago. Of course, everything is ration
ed. Food shortage alone will never
cause Germany to sue for a prema
ture peace.
“It is a widely-cherished misappre

BERLIN, Oct. 15.—According to |
imprisoned crews of the armored au
tomobiles used by the British on the
Somme front, (the famous “tanks” as
the British soldiers call them), the
new machines have proved a complete
failure, says the Overseas News Agen
cy. It continues:
“The prisoners state that the cars
are able to advance only at the rate
of a mile an hour, and therefore make
excellent targets for artillery fire.
They instance a case of seven of these
machines that started in the advance
recently, two of which reached their
objective, even these being then com
pletely put out of action by shell fire.
Their occupants declare them atroci
ous contrivances to travel in because
of the noise, smoke and heat and the
treacherous ground over which they
have to move in field service.
“In another case, the prisoners say,
the infantry had been told that six of
the machines had been sent to the at
tack, but only one appeared, and this
soon afterward was also wrecked." ,

hension, too, that monetary conditions
are hastening the collapse of Ger
many’s ability to continue the war.”
BIG BREWERY TO
HAVE A BRANCH
IN JUNEAU SOON
(Juneau Empire)
The Sacramento Brewing company,
of Sacramento, Cal., plans to make Ju
neau a distributing point for its Alas
ka business in case the wets win the
election in Alaska next month. The
plan is to put in a cold storage plant
and ware rooms, and to carry beer in
stock, both draft and bottled. Re
shipment will be made from Juneau to
other Alaskan points. Such an insti
tution would require the employment
of several people at good wages.
This is the word that W. K. Martin,
Alaska representative of the compa
ny, who recently returned to Juneau
from a visit to Sacramento, brings
back with him.
