NEUVE CHAPELLE RESULTS.
CHANGE IN THE GERMAN SPIRIT.
[BY AN EYE-WITNESS AT HEADQUARTERB. }
GERMAN INACTIVITY.
THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, WEDNESDAY, MAY 26TH, 1915.
April, 0. It is a significant fact that although a monah has passed sings the action at Neuve Chapelle, the enemy has made no attempt to retaliato in any quarter, but has remained inactive, while we have established ourselves scourely on the ground won. Looking back over the past four months it is instructive to note the gradual weakening of the German re- sistance on our front. Formerly any offensive action on our part was met with an immediate counter-stroke. This is the first occasion on which the enemy has made no reply at all."
This does not mean, of course, that their resistance is collapsing; but the Germans have name the leas admitted that with the troops at their disposal on this front they are unable to avenge their defeat. This is clearly seen by a pro- clamation already quoted in the Press, fasued by the Crown Prince Ruppreent. of Bararia to his troops after the battle, in which, after admitting the defeat, be seeks to encourage them by a vague refer- ence to a future day of reckoning, and it is no doubt with a view to keeping alive. these hopes that the soldiers are told that Field-Marshal Hindenburg will shortly, appear in France with a fresh army.

infamy they are capable. At their first nssault they drovo Bikhs and Gurklus, unarmed and with uplifted hands, in front of them. The Germans anturally did not shoot, so that the enemy renched our trenches without losses. The British who followed succeeded by this means in taking -pussession-of-our trenches—though only temporarily. At their second assault these infamous English runoille drove the German prisoners captured that morning in front of them in the attack on our trenches; those who refused to advanco were beaten to death,
It is interesting to karn that the have been disposed of by so slow a process recalcitrant German prisoners should as beating when the English canaille must have had such things as rifles, bayonets, and revolvers at their disposal!"
The
dinische Zeitung, another leading new paper, publishes a letter purporting to be from a German officer who fought against us at Nouvo Chapelle. The letter contains, ter atia, the following:

Army I used to look upon the stories of English cruelties and dirty tricks with considerable suspicion. Now I have had personal experience, and must admit that, black as matters are painted by our news papers, they are in reality still blacker: The following are examples, for the accuracy of which I can vouch, as they were communicated officially in the troops by our division :——
Two hundred and fifty English in German great-couts and belmets made signs to a party of German soldiers to join
them, and then shot them down at close range; German prisoners were used dur- ing attacks by the British troops as cover for the adrance, etc.... Presumably such libels serve their pur pose and are credited by those for whom they are intended, ospecially when given out as the personal experience of an eye. witness-in this case, by the way, an eye, witness whose testimony is second hand and based on an official communication.

The vexation caused by the un-American outbreaks of Senator Bartholdt and his band of German intriguers of American citizenship is sharpened by the conviction that Count Bernstorff is trying to play with American politics. On the other hand, comment upon the possibility of peace and the advisability of sparing Germany is conspicuously absent.
