NIGHT PATROLLING VITAL Belief in Washington Expressed Tha Beljef In Washington Is Expressed That Small Scooting Party May Have Been Surprised by Ger man Patrol In Xo Man's Land. BERLIN, Nov. 3, via London. On the Rhine-Marne Canal, as a result of a reconnolterlng thrust. North American soldiers were borught In. - The portion of the official state ment making this announcement reads: "At the right, Marne Canal, as the result of a reconnoiteringr thrust. North American soldiers were brought in as prisoners." The Rhine-Marne Canal runs through a section of Nrtheastern France In which there has been little fighting; since the early days of the war. It crosses the French front at a point near the German border, 20 miles northeast of Lunevllle. WASHINGTON. Nov. 8. Berlin's terse announcement tonight that "North American" soldiers had been captured by German patrols on the Rhine-Marne Canal on the French front brought tha American people a step nearer tothe haert of the great struggle. There was no doubt here that the men referred to were members of Gen eral Pershing's force undergoing final training with French regiments in front-line trenches. Confirmation from General Pershing was lacking, but In due course he will transmit the news of any men missing, and this may fur nish some light. If. as is assumed, a small scouting party was surprised by a German patrol in No Man's Land and all cap tured, details of the incident may never be fully told, since only captors and captives would know what happened In. the encounter under cover of dark ness. Naval Gunners Formerly Taken. This is the first report received here f the capture of any members of the American expeditionary forces, but a small number of naval gunners taken from armed American ships sunk by German submarines and civilian mem bers of the crews on other ships are held by Germans in prison camps. Night patroling is a vitally important part of the final training of the Ameri can forces, as It Is on these patrols that the commanding officers rely for Information of activity In the enemy's Xcont line. 13ery night the scouts creep out with faces blackened against the keen vision of enemy lokouts and a swift,' deadly spurt from a machine gun. They go creeping across the shell-torn ground Tip to the ' enemy's entanglements, crawling and listening, dropping flat when a flare breaks "out in the air above them, and sometimes lying still for boors while rifles and machine . guns hammer above them. Not a night passes on many parts of the line but patrols encounter each , other. Sometimes it results in firing, but that is seldom, for the menace of the opposing trench lines, with rifles, machine guns and star rockets ready to burst out at the slightest hint of danger, hangs over friend and foe alike. Haad-to-Hud Worse Frequent. . TJsually one patrol discovers the oth er and stalks it stealthily. A time comes when a surprise attack can be made. It is swift, silent, hand-to-hand work and rarely is a shot fired. The victor carries off his prisoners and when . morning comes' a report goes back on the other side of the line that a patrol of so many men la missing. This la all (hat Is known. . Officers here believed that this was what happened on the French-American front. Had there been any firing or had members of the patrol made their way back to the French-American trenches. General Pershing probably would have reported immediately. As it was, he probably was waiting to make certain that the missing men were not hiding in a shellhole until dark came again to give them opportunity to make their way into their own lines. It was agreed that the loss of the patrol might have a salutory effect on the American troops in the front line. They are youngv in perfect physical condition and fairly longing for a chance at the enemy. It has taken all the authority of their officers to curb their desire to go over and share in the daring work .of trench raiding. Men who have spent their lives in the Army know what the situation must be. They are hopeful, that the lesson of caution will be brought home to the men by the loss of this party.

The record of navlng predicted this world war, and besides that hav ing predicted both the first and second Balkan wars and the assassination of Archduke Francis Ferdinand, the heir to the Austrian throne, should be conclusive indication of an ability to foretell the future accurately. With her past performances in .mind, the latest prophecy of Mother Rita, of Monaatir. the famous prophetess of the Balkans, carries additional weight. She now predicts that Vienna, will fall on the day King Peter, the aged monarch of Serbia, dies. Perhaps time will prove her right. Stranger things than that have happened.

The German Emperor has expressed to Mlchaells, the retiring Chancellor, a desire to em ploy him further In Imperial service. It is understood he will take another high office. ' ' Berlin papers say Count von Hertllng has established satisfactory working agreements with all parties except the Socialist and Conservatives, and even the Socialists can be counted on to make no difficulties.

Presi dent of tha State Ministry and Minister of Foreign Affairs. In difficult times you, with self-sacrifice and readiness, responded to my call and per formed useful service in the highest offices of the empire, the stato and the fatherland.

According to the Chancellor's organ, the Germanta, the Reichstag will be convoked in mid-November especially to listen to the declaration of the new head of the government. Berlin political writers agree In pre dicting that Phllipp Scheidemann and his Socialist followers, who it was feared would withdraw from formal membership in the majority bloc, and also the National Liberals, who never definitely entered It, will form part of the new coalition majority.
