hitherto considered Impossible? 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

Allies In Valley Below.
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.

Power Plant Chiefs
Are Warned Against
Possible Sabotage
'Eternal Vigilance'
Of Engineers Urged at
Association Meeting
Power plant engineers were urged
last night to keep “eternal vigilance”
against possible sabotage during
“these critical times” at a meeting
of Washington Association No. 1,
National Association of Power En
gineers, at the Raleigh Hotel.
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.
