It's a long way to Tipperary, says the British soldiers' song, but the Ger- mans are right there." Five hundred German prisoners were landed in Dublin last month, and conveyed under escort to Templemore, County Tipperary.

CROWN PRINCES BURROW.

TUNNEL FOR ESCAPE IN TIME OF DANGER:

A correspondent of the Daily Mail wrote last month from Villiers-aux-Vents (south of Verdun) Fam

There was a pitched battle between Villiers-aux-Vents and Revigny, which on the German side was directed from the village on the bill. In order that the Crown Prince might receive no hurt an elaborate series of exavations was Con structed at the hack of his house, with a tunnel leading to a thicket some distance away, so that when things became too warm the royal rabbit might take to his burrow and hide in safety. The excava tions are about five feet in depth, covered over with boards, earth, and turf, inside they are comfortably lined with dry grass and straw. The total length is about 100ft, so there was room for the staff as well.

There is a belief here that Germany is replenishing the iminente supplies of petrol and oil which she needs for her norial feet and motor services by means of shipments from the United States.

It is reported that since September and more than 200,000 barrels of petrol have ben shipped from New York in chips carrying Danish, Norwegian, an Swedish flags. The average monthly shipments to thom countries is 10,000 barrela

GERMAN DEMORALISATION.

DIET AND BAD FOOD IN THE TRENCHES.

Writing from North of the Marno last month a correspondent of the Daily Mau mid-

I have abundant evidence that the Ger- man demoralisation has become ostensible and confessed. German prisoners whom I have met, Fresch officers who have spoken freely, and, above all, members of the British Transport Service, give combined evidence that is difficult to disbelieve

The state of some German prisoners recently taken is beyond description. They suffer not from their wounds but | from all the ills that follow a combination of dirt, bad food, and an evil atmosphere. The very perfection of some of their trenches has increased the trouble. They have been too deep to make the lifting of the dead an easy matter, and in some cases no attempt has been made to remove them. In one instance a line of dead was arranged along the trench with the weapons apparently in the grasp of the dead

It is perhaps an example of this sort which has spread the rumour-the quite absurd rumour that the French have used this half-mythical powder, Turpinite, which acts like the head of Medusa and freezes men to death as they stand

Sanitary reasons, as well as military, make the advance slow. There is one trench dug by the French at the extreme edge of a wood within 150 yards of the Germans. At night the men hear one another talk, but do one another very

little harm

Where the trenches are farther apart the Germans are in the habit from time to time of launching very brilliant lights, probably magnesium They fast about thirty seconds and appear to be some forty feet above the ground. Outpost patrols, it is thought, do this work, but it is in the progressive timidity of the German patrols that the French have found one of the chief signs of German demoraliss tion. If surprised, they surrender, and behind them the retreat is made, as it were, voluntarily

The French and Engilah losses are now very small I speak only of the centre and the advance is not made by frontal attacks, but by slow pressure, often the pressure of the insanitary conditions in the German lines working on men who have been overstrained by a month of the most cruel fighting in history,
