GERMAN REST CURE.
JOURNEYING OF ENEMY TROOPS Remarkable proof is accumulating of the strange journeyings ot German troops. A wounded German prisoner, taken down to the base after the recent fighting, gave proof tfiat he. had - been on the Russian front six days earlier. It was announced in a recent Servian communique that some members of the Prussian Guard of the 15th Army Corps had been captured soon after their arrival on the Danube from the Italian front. This same corps was fighting on the Flanders front in March last. These quick changes do not necessarily imply in all cases a dearth of men. When a corps need a rest it is the German custom to take them back in trains to some centre out of sound of the guns. When their period of rest is over thev are almost as likely to be sent to one place as another. The organisation of the railways—the best of them built deliberately for strategic purposes— far to annihilate time and distance. Nevertheless, when all is- said, these sudden transferences are a sign of the cardinal German danger a growing deficiency of good-calibre troops.
