"If anvbody had told Ludendorff on
the 22d of March that In the month of
August he would be trying to get his

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9, The contin
ued attempts to deceive the German
people regarding the progress of the
war and Americas participation are
meeting with protests in a part of the
German press, according to an official
dispatch today from Switzerland. The
Muenchner Post, according to the dis
patch, protests against a recent speech
delivered at Hamburg by Prince Henry
of Prussia in which the last battles
were represented as German victories.
It is scandalous," says the newspa
per, to see a person like Prince Henry
of Prussia giving the German people
a picture of the situation which in no
way corresponds to the reality. Ger
mans are not going to let themselves
be exhorted like children. Emmlnent
personages like Prince Henry would do
better not to speak about the suffer
ings and miseries of the war.
"We were told for a long time Amer
ica's entry into the war was a mere
bluff, and we see today that one part of
the press and the greater part of the
official orators are continuing to de
ceive the German public. They would
do better to say openly that Germany
finds Itself today in an extremely seri
ous situation."

"things are humming at the Marine re

Scores of young men made applica

Corps before It was too late, as the
bfcn is expected on enlistments. Speed
was the essential thing, and once a
youth had learned that the Marine
Corps was "wide open" It was only a
few minutes before he was a "devil
pup."
A great number of men signified
their intention of enlisting before train

Result of New Battle May Be Turn

LONDON, Aug. 9. The general feel
ing here is that the importance of the
successful new battle cannot be over
estimated. It Is regarded as the turn
ing point of the year's campaign, and
perhaps even the turning point of the
whole war.
It Is not too much to say that the
American Army has been the chief
factor in this result. The experienced
military critic of " the Westminster
Gazette says only what all soldiers
who have seen American mettle put to
the test are saying, that the American
troops are equal to any In the world.
