SHAKING OF THEi
MORALE OF THE
GERMAN TROOPS
Apparently They Are Badly
Broken From Account of a
Whole Teuton Detachment.
Paris.—Apparently the morals of
some of the German troops is badly
shaken, from the account of the sur
render of a whole German detachment
which was told here today.
Desultory firing was going on near
the Flanders seacoast when suddenly
there appeared from the German
trench nearest the Belgian line a long
stick with a white handkerchief at
tached to it.
Fearing some treacherous move, the
Belgians remained under cover of
their trenches and waited for devel
opments. A few minutes later, a sin
gle German left the enemy trenches.
He was unarmed, and began painfully
to crawl the distance between his own
and the Belgian lines. The Belgians
allowed him to advance. Every now
and again, he raised his arm, and
waved a piece of paper he carried.
In this w'ay it took him more than
half an hour to cover the distance be
tween the trenches.
As soon as he reached the Belgian
lines, an officer advanced and inquir
ed his purpose. The German mutely
held out his crumpled piece of paper
and the officer read:
Surrender.
“Our captain wants to surrender
with his 400 men, if you will prom
ise that their lives will be safe,”
“Why do you not want to go on
fighting?” said the Belgian officer.
“We are hungry,” was the reply.
“Our trenches are practically swamp
ed, we are up t( the waist in water.
Your shells are continually falling
among us. We would rather die and
be done with it than go on with this
war.”
The officer saw that the offer of
surrender was genuine, and that the
soldier was perfectly livid and hip
clothes were a mass of mud. Ac
cordingly on the back of the scrap of
paper the man had brought, he wrote:
“If you come unarmed you have noth
ing to fear.” The soldier took the
paper, and began his painful return
journey.
More Comfortable.
“Hurry up!" cried a Belgian soldier
to him, it is more comfortable here
than over there." The Belgians saw
the German regain his trench, and
then for half a” hour nothing hap
pened. But suddenly along a front of
70 yards of German soldiers leaped
up. The Belgians were in readiness
to fire at the word of command; but
the officer reassured them —not a
single man of the advancing Germans
were armed. They had come to ai r
render everything in their attitude
proved it. But they had not advanc
ed fifty yards from their trenches,
before a fierce fusilade broke out. The
Germans halted and flung themselves
face forward, to the ground. They
explained later, that they at first
thought it was the Belgians who
were firing on them, but soon they '
realized that the bullets were coming
from their own trenches. At this they
lost their heads, and made a wild dash
for the Belgian lines, which they
reached only after considerable loss.

U. S. Obligations in London at
War’s Beginning About $250,-

Bankers
New York.—A banking house with in
fluential British connections, today re
ceived a cablegram from London inti
mating that a wrong interpretation had
been placed on the statement of Lloyd-
George in the house of commons Sat
urday that this country's debts to Great
Britain aggregated $5,000,000,000. The
message said British bankers estimate
the amount of this country’s obligations
to London as not exceeding $250,000,000.
That also was the maximum named by
Sir George Paish the British treasury
official, during his recent visit to this
C °Loca"l bankers believed Lloyd-George
probably referred to the amount of Am
erican securities held by bankers and in
dividuals of Great Britain. At no time,
the bankers Bald, had this country's
obligations to England and her colonies
ever amounted to the colossal sum said
to have been named by the chancellor.
