NEW YORK, Sept 4.—That tho
Germans did not reckon with the pos
sibility of a strong allied counter-of
fensive such as that undertaken by
General Koch in July is shown by
the dispatches in German newspapers
of that month. These dispatches em
phasized the Importance of the pre
vious successes gained by the Ger
man offensives on the western front,
and enumerated the "huge material
losses" sustained by the entente al
lies A Wolff Bureau dispatch pub
lished in the Cologne Gazette stated
that "the extent to which the enemy
lighting power has been weakened
during the first three months of the
German offensive is shown beyond a
doubt."
Another dispatch of that bureau,
published in the Berlin Tagebiatt,
said: "The new developments in tho
west have brought the army high
command a tremendous step nearer
to the destruction of the front of the
enemy and their lighting means.”

IF PORT! IlCfl
WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.—Three
thousand native soldiers of Porto
Jiico have had their first Juste of salt
v ater at the beach near Camp Gas
Casas, tho National army cantonment
at San Juan.
When the general order to the ef
lect that every man in the camp must
learn to swim was Issued by Colonel
Townshend, company and platoon i
commanders immediately began plan-j
ning to teach the men the aquatic
art. The instruction was begun with
live companies of student officers,
two provisional companies of selected |
men and a company of the sanitary !
corps As now recruits were added
to the camp they were taught the
rudin ents of swimming immediately.
The first part of the instruction is
conducted on terra firtna the units
lining up on the beach, where they
practice the various strokes Then
they are taken into the water lor ac
tual instruction.
Recently an entire battalion was'
taken to the beach and taught swim i
tiling The results from this experi-1
liient were so successful that now the j
troops are given sw imming lessons In j
regiments.
According to the report to the train
ing camp commission by J. B. Mac
cabe, athletic director at the camp,
the officers fell a little apprehension
as to the safety of the men when
they were taken to the water for the
first time, but their fears were soon |
dispelled, for the soldiers took to j
swimming like ducks. They not only
made rapid progress, he says, but j
they had the time of their lives, and i
before the fifteen minutes were up i
the men were gleefully chasing each I
other and shouting like so many j
schoolboys on a holiday. Thus the;
high recreational as well as the mill-!
tary value of swimming was demon
strated. It is this combination the
training camp commission endeavors
to strike In every sport it introduces
in the training camp.
