DECLARE GAS SHELLS OF ALLIES HORRIBLE Particularly Affective on Same Sec tion Where First Used by Teutons. British Headquarters in Fiance and Belgium, Aug. 3. German' officers captured in the battle in Flanders have discussed quite f iw ly both the military and political situation as it affects the fatherland. Germany's less in man power they admit to be serious. These prisoners say the entire class of 1918 recruits now is in the field and that small elements of the 11)19 class already are at the front, al though it is claimed they arc serving only as volunteers. This is the first time any German officer has admitted that any men of the 1919 class were on the battle front. Fear They W ill Lose War. The whole trend of the statements made by these captive officers is that they are beginning to fear that they may lose the war. More depressing than anything else is the fear that there may be another winter cam paign. Peace without annexation or in demnity is indorsed by all the officers who have discussed the question, but most.of them -have indicated that they favor the annexation of eastern Belgian- and a part of : the const of Flanders, if such a thing possibly could be done. An officer who has made a study of economic matters said the war al ready was costing the fatherland 0OO.O00.000 marks annually in inter est charges. The German officers iiiy that the British gas f hell bombardment on the two nights preceding the opening of the infantry charge was most effect ive and that the Germans suffered heavilv. The guard fusiliers were gassed Sunday and Monday nivhts. Large numbers were overcome. Gas Shells Disastrous. A German division which was be ing held in support on the beak lire crossing the Ypres-Menin road also suffered severely. So disastrous was tjie effect of the gas at this point that at least one battalion, which was be ing rushed to the relief of the men in the front lines, never reached its objective. MAIL UNCLAIMED.
