GERMANS FEEL
THEIR ARMY
i IS UNBEATEN
COBLENZ, March 28 (by the Asso
ciated Press).—Articles in the Ger
man press and speeches and inter
view’s with German public men since
the armistice went into effect show
that German point of view still is
completely at variance with that of
the reBt of the world, asserts one of
the political experts with the Ameri
can army of occupation.,
In a recent article on the question
of American psychology, published in
the intelligence summary of the Third
army, the political expert, who is an
officer of high authority, says:
“The German feels that, first and
foremost, his army was not only un
beaten but had all the military
prestige of the w’ar. Then he knew
that there was increasing scarcity of
victuals at home and. feeling that the
allies were in mortal dread of new
drives by the German army and w'ould
be only too glad to compromise, pro
posed an armistice.
“Germany expected all the world to
supply her gladly with all hor needs
and, as a mark of good faith and to en
courage the allies, offered to allow’
them to advance to the Rhine. Now
tho Germans affect to wonder why
Germany is not completely supplied by
the allies and why the garrisons hav
ing been allowed to see the Rhine
scenery, do not withdraw’.
“Of course, the more ignorant
classes might be expected to take this
attitude, but when these ideas appear
in addresses by Count von Brock
et
I
dorff-Rantzau, by Scheidemann and by
the Crown Prince the result is more
than puzzling. All the people con
sider, apparently, that the armistice
was an agreement for mutual benefit
and any idea that the war was any
thing but a draw with the prestige all
on the German side has not yet pene
trated the German mind.”

FRANCE LOSES FORTY-ONE
GENERALS IN THE WAR
PARIS, March 28. — Forty-ope
French generals have been killed in
the war, an official list states.
Five of them, Generals Bridoux,
Loyseau de Grandmaison, Marcot,
Guignabaduet and Masnou, were gen
erals of divisions, and the other thirty
six were brigadier generals, although
at the time they met their death they
were almost without exception in com
mand of divisions.
General Barbout. one of the latter,
was one of the most popular army
leaders among the rank and file. Clad
in a long soldier’s overcoat and with
the soft cap of the Alpine chausseurs
perched on one ear, he used to stroll
by himself through the trenches. One
day he was hailed by a poilu who was
struggling along under the weight of
two huge soup cauldrons.
“Where are you off to?” asked the
soldier.
“To the C. O.,” replied the general.
“That’s where I am going—give us
a hand with these cauldrons.”
"Why, certainly, sonny.”
So the general and the poilu stumb
led along with the cauldrons between
them.
At the C. O.’s headquarters there
were explanations.
“I beg your pardon, general,” said
the poilu, with a very red face.
“Not at all, my son, you are very
welcome,” was the genial command’
3r’s parting reply.
MONOPOLY OF
BUTTER STOPS
PRODUCTION
VLADIVOSTOK, March 28.—Butter
production in Siberia has nearly
stopped,, according to local newspa
pers, owing to a government monop
oly which fixed a price lower than
cost. Most of the west Siberian but
ter producers turned to cheese making
in consequence. Peasants and cattle
owners are finding it unprofitable to
keep their herds and are selling them.
The monopoly on butter, introduced
by the Kerensky government and per
petuated by the Bolsheviki and other
governments since, has resulted in
complete demoralization of cattle
breeding. After the monopoly became
effective butter accumulated in the
hands of the authorities until they
were at a loss to know how to dispose
of it. Great quantities were used as
machine lubricant.
Today, as a result of decreased pro
duction, the price has increase in cen
tral Siberia to six and a half rubles a
pound.

AMERICANS ARE
STILLWATCHING
ENEMY ARMIES
COBLENZ, March 28 (by the Asso
ciated Press).—The intelligence sec
tion of the American army continues
to keep strict watch of the movements
of the Gorman army and will continue
to do so until the American army of
occupation leaves the Rhineland for
home after the signing of the peace
treaty.
Recent reports to the Americans
holding the Coblenz bridgehead are;
to the effect that the units of the
old German Standing army which
were performing any active service
early in February appeared to have
been reorganized on a, uniform plan.
The majority of these troops, informa
tion in the hands of the Americans in- =
dlcate, are simply drawing pay and |
passing the time the best way pos- |
sible in their home depots, patiently |
awaiting discharge or having made up |
their minds to remain in service in 1
preference to seeking employment in I
civil life.
Those units are divided between i
those who are perfectly willing to per- 1
form active service and those who are I
not. The willing ones, usually in- j
eluding most of the officers and non- j
commissioned officers, have taken a f
new name for their organization, but 1
continue to use the depots and other f
facilities of the old unit. The un- j
|
willing soldiers also have been re- |
maining in the depots of the old unit. |
It was in this manner that the Rein- =
hardt regiment which fought the Spar- |
tr.cists in Berlin and which early in |
February had companies assigned to [

Aeimar when the National Assembly
vas convened and also other detach
nents sent to the eastern front, was
brined from the Fourth foot guard
egiment in Berlin and has retained
lossession of that depot.
The new German Scliuetzen divi
ion consists of volunteers of the
rhirty-first division, the volunteer
a a oo aaaaaaa eaasa
regiment being stationed in Berlin,
while the remainder of the Thitry-first
has been in depots in the Hartz re
gion.
German press dispatches from the
region of Polish-German clashes re
cently mentioned the “Volunteer Bat
talion Keep,” which was reorganized
from the 149th regiment.
