In addition to some 260 prisoners, and at Maurepas one 15 centimetre howltxer and four field guns ferl into their hands, according to Information received here. A German staff memorandum which has just been captured says: lng his intentions." Another document which has fallen Into possession of the British says: "The troops opposite ars Australians, a powerful exceedingly clever, versatile and very enterprising.

They know how to creep through the high crops and capture our outposts. A characteristic is that the enemy takes few prisoners, but bayonets and shoots everybody. The enemy also understands exceedingly well how to plan, prepare out large pa shows great dash by daylight." corps prisoner cages have been packed of late refutes the charge of bayonet ting and shooting. The same document comments on the fact that "the enemy airmen are absolutely masters of the air here and are far more numerous than ours." That patriotism is not altogether so intense in the German army seems to be suggested by notes in the captured staff memorandum which tell of the action of the fifth company for the twenty second infantry regiment refusing to the fourth inder after 1 them forward under escort, appealed to their sense of duty to the fatherland. The notes go on to Bay that several men were heard to exclaim: "To hell with the Vaderland!" RULEOESSENTIAL Priority Orders for Material for Paving From the City Limits to Buckhead to Be Issued Immediately.

A telegram received Friday by Jameson Hollman, contractors, who are paving Peachtree road from the city limits to Buckhead, from the United States highway council. Washington, D. stated that the council approved the work of paving this stretch of road and considered It essential war work and that priority orders for materials to complete this work would be Issued immediately. This paving, which weft let by contract by the Pulton county commissioners in the early spring had to be discontinued several weeks igo on account of the inability of the to secure the materials necessary to complete the work, the principal material unobtainable being cement, all of which the government has taken over The contractors, A Hansen, county construction engineer, and General Sage, commanding general of Camp Gordon, have been untiring in their efforts to get this matter before the highway council, Mr. Hansen having gone to Washington to personally look after the matter.

The contractors and the county will now take the matter up with the Portland cement committee of the war industries board and will aak them for immediate action, which will doubtless be granted, as the priority orders ha' already been mailed to them, according to the telegram from the council. This means that the work on Peach tree road will soon be completed and established. the to Camp of the city 9 GERMANS KILLED BY "RAINBOW" MAN IN TWO HOURS' FIGHT Montgomery, August Corporal H. P.
