HUNS SUFFER MUCH
FOR AIR BOMBING
LONDON, Oct. 12. (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.

Sheep thrive in Western Canada
"Worse than eating bur overcoats"
is the complaint about shipments of
ewes and ewe lambs from the west
ern states to Canada, which have
drown heavily on breeding stock.
The complaints, however, have stim
ulated efforts for greater eld by
Uncle Sam for the $heep industry. '
In contrast to Uncle Sam's neglect
be for o tho war Canada had begun a
systematic campaign to increase her
wool production. Sheep thrived on
the ranges of Alberta and on the
great stretches of virgin, prairie!
awaiting the settler, and the climate
was reported ideal for wool growing.
But high prices find large profit to
the farmer are credited to the co
operative selling system, endorsed
by Secretary Motherwell of the
Saskatchewan Department of Agri
culture. Mowever, according to re
ports to Clay, Robinson & Company
a live stock commission nouse oc
Chicago and other cities, the great
nrnblem lies in the fact that no'
ewei, no matter how old they may
be, provided they can go through"
the winter and raise a' lamb next
spring, are being shipped out from
the western slope of the Rockies. '
