Have you seen them sullen or grouchy?” I could not but admit that the good humor of the sunburned young men whom we passed every evening on our way back from the operations area to our little hotel was some thing that baffled me. Soldiers Without Illusions. Von Reichenau continued: “You see our soldiers all know that war is not child's play, but hard and grim work. They have no illusions. That has been so drilled into them that an indomitable fight ing spirit animates them.” The general claims that the Ger man losses have been only one-tenth of those of the enemy taken prisoner. Shortly before our visit to Von Reichenau official figures had been released to the effect that, exclusive of those in Holland, 110,000 prisoners had been taken. In other words, according to Von Reichenau. Ger many has lost only about 11,000 men, exclusive of those in Holland since the offensive began in the west on May 10. Von Reichenau said this was the result of more careful preparations by the Germans. “Our vanguards and scout planes,” he said, "go day after day on their heroic errand of learning just where the enemy is, how his formations line up and where the weak points are. Only when we are fully ready do we dash forward. “Another factor is the excellent advance training of our troops.” Whatever else may be needed for waging war, certainly Germany during the seven years of the Nazi regime has provided men and ma terials in profusion. For almost a week now on this right wing of the Reichenau huge west front army every avenue of approach to Flanders has been jammed with marching troops and vehicles. It seemed to me as though Ger many, Holland and Belgium must just about be drained of men and that all are concentrated in this _ADVERTISEMENT ~ HowTo Ease Tired Burning Feet Here’s the secret that keeps feet happy, cool and comfortable.

From a hill within 1 mile of the retiring allied forces I witnessed yesterday afternoon the brilliant at tacks along one small sector of Von Reichenau’s eighth army as it re lentlessly drove to complete the encirclement. The allies, chiefly British, were below me in a valley withdrawing from the Scheldt Canal, near Re naix, 35 miles southwest of Brussels. The German artillery was behind me. Cannon boomed, shrapnel rent the air, and German scouters roared overhead directing the artillery. Ugly clouds of yellow-white or grey smoke indicated when the deadly loads were deposited on the roads upon which allied troops were with drawing. Invisible to us, because they were hidden by trees, were German in fantrymen relentlessly pushing after the enemy. More Troops Move Up. Where we stood English artillery observers had been only a day be fore. Thus quickly do the fortunes of war change in this area. We had threaded our way up with the stench of putrid cadavers of horses and cows in our nostrils, with abandoned tanks, motorized guns and horse-drawn French ar tillery scattered here and there. All day and night battalion after battalion of German infantry and artillery had been pouring into this section from conquered sections of Belgium and there was many a halt before we could move out again in the midst of vehicles moving in three columns. At noon we had been with the man who bears the responsibility for this action, Gen. Van Rechenau. At 3 o'clock yesterday morning he had moved into new headquar ters, this time into a delightful 17th century modernized chateau at Enghien, property of the Duke of Arenberg.

W. C. Strickler of Washington, secretary of the national body, de clared American power plants must be made safe from “subversive movements, financed and organized by foreign ‘ism’ elements.” The speaker praised Edward G. Moan of Lorton, Va., special deputy president of the Nation-wide asso ciation, for launching a movement to keep engineers on the alert against sabotage, and said: “As Deputy Moan very candidly and aptly puts it, ‘eternal vigilance’ must be the gospel of the engineer ing fraternities of the Nation dur ing these critical times. It is bet ter to be on guard than imitate the ostrich by burying our heads in the sands of indifference, for this crafty element will not tell the world, when or where it will initiate their disrupting moves.” Mr. Moan has had the indorse ment of high Government officials for his plan to rally the engineers in the protection of transmission and power facilities of the Nation, Mr. Strickler said. Mr. Moan, who is a power engineer at the Lorton Reformatory, attended the meeting. License laws relating to engineer ing were discussed by Edward Lar i - _ son of Washington, executive secre tary of the National Society of Pro fessional Engineers. Charles W. Jones, president of the Washington Association of Power Engineers, pre sided. Death Toll Goes to Nine In California Quake By th* Associated Press.
