(United Press, ; by Mail.) The German high com nuind has found it necessary to issue a special order governing infantry de fense against uircraft. This ordor. sugeeitn that German morale has hcen so damaged by the constant low? flying tactics of entente airmen thnt the panic-stricken German infantry have been opening fire in discriminately ngninst any low-flying . uirplnnes, quite without regard to its nationality or markings. It is found t necessary in this order to repeat that the infantry is forbidden to fire "once the iron cross is seen"; and to state that every man who fires on any air waft will be held personally responsi ble, and is riot justified "because other people are doing so." Another matter which apparently is worrying tho Hun commander, and upon which ho has found it .necessary ti issuo another, special order, is the failure of German camouflage ; The order also Is incidentally a tribute to tho work of tho entente air services, for it begins: "The constant observa tion of our organization by tho en emy's airplanes in trench warfare . . compel us to hifte our artillery posi tions to tin increasing degree." A captured German corps order bears furtlior witness to the efficiency of entonte bombing work. This docu- ment commences: "Recently our loss es from bombing have been on the in crease," and proceeds to lay down clnborate instructions for issuing gen eral warnings over very Inrge areas on the approach of enemy airmen. Those instructions involve the complete ces sation; of all activity In the whole corps sector, not only by troops in line and support, but by those in rest. Private letters and diaries taken from prisoners tell theflnmc tale. One discovered recently tells of the devas tation caused by a night-flying Eng lish machine which bombed an ammu nition train. Another states that while the writer was in rest at Douai his barracks were bombed every day, anil mentions :iO casualties n the re sult of one such visit. A letter of later date written by a soldier in a German labor battalion reads as follows: "After travelling for 12 hours and wandering nlwut for eight days wo nre now quartcerd near Peronni, ard I can tell yon r3i.it things have, none pretty hadly with us. "Tile Kngli'di have taken the offen tlve anil no sooner had wo detrained th:in n Vxnnh landed on lis, nr.d wo lost 14 men severely wounded and one man killed. That made u, want to bolt. You can just fancy that IIOU men like thnt attract attention, n there airmen came so low down, its ere story, and we wanted to wriggle into the ground, but it did noxinswer. v night the same sort of thing hap pened." Evidence' of destruction to German atrdomes, which are a favorite objoe- tive for entente bombing, is given by prisoners. For instance, independent statements from several , prisoners from different divisions established the fact that 14 German airplanes, he sides hangnrs, were destroped in one recent raid on an airdrome.
