TO ORGANIZED LOOTING
Order Found On Prisoner Tells of General Orders Issued for Pillaging Territory.
WITH *EHB FRENCH AEMT IN FRANCE, Sept. 19. ("By the Associated Press.)—Efforts to organize pillaging by the. German army and the transportation of loot appear, from official documents and varied events, to have been much more effective than the work of carrying out the removal of legitimate war booty during this summer's operations.
The Backing of private houses and buildings throughout the regions from which the Germans have been driven hias been done with characteristic thoroughness by specially detailed squads. Advancing French armies, however, have found intact on the platean in the region of Soissons and elsewhere important dumps of munitions, which the French had been obliged to abandon in their retreat last spring.
Tells Official Loot Rules. An order, signed back by Gen. Von Marquitz and dated May 28, was found in the pocket of a prisoner. It throws peculiar light on the subject of pillaging. After condemning in severe terms, disorganized looting by soldiers for their personal account, this document calls attention to rules for organized pillage and says that men on 'Hoot detachment," bearing white arm bandages and special identification cards, have the same powers as military powers. It adds "The chief of these detachment« wflt confiscate eatables and drinkables, as well as objects of current use that are collected, and keep guard over them uniil the arrival of the exploiting groups.**
Quartermasters are authorized by this document to apply to the use of their units a proportionate quantity of booty, suitable for immediate consumption and to send the rest to the rear.
Privaxe letters written by prisoners give additional evidence of the extreme limits to which looting is practiced. A striking example of this work is found at the Vanbriin hospital, near SoisKons. which was established and managed by Madamoisefle Canton"Baccarat. Before the building was demoiished by German shells, it was completely sacked by German officers, (he principal offender being an army S'rrgeon, whose name is known and has been placed on file for future reference.
Hespttal Is Robbed.
Although supposedly under the protection of the Red Cross, this hospital wa*j robbed of everything it contained, including 50,000 francs in money and securities from Madamoiselle Baccarat's safe, framed pictures and photographs. for which coarse caricatures were substituted. Linen bed clothes, laboratory instruments and supplies valued at 1,500,000 francs and donated by Americans were taken.
ATI the finer objects were shipped to Germany, and the ordinary hospital beds went to the dugouts of German artillery officers around Soissons. Two hundred of these have been recovered since the region has been reoccupied.
POLICEMEN FORM TTNI0NS.
Plan Here Was Frowned On By City Officials. Within the past few days the firemen of Fvansville. Ihe firemen of T^ifayette and the policemen of Kvansville have organized themselves into unions.
The plan was proposed here several weeks ago by the city firemen and the policemen, but was frowned on by the city officials. When the Central Labor Union sought to intervene fn the wage dispute of the firemen, the union was told by the council that there was too much "outside interference."
A dispatch from Kvansville today says: FArAKSVILLE. Ind.. Sept. 19.—The formation of a policemen's union, which is said to include every man on the force, was announced here today. The members have made application to the American Federation of Labor for a charier. This formation of the policemen's union follows similar action by the city firemen.

ORDERS MAYOR CEASE All PAVING PUNS
Continued From Page One.
materiaJs to sueh a contractor will also be dealt with in the same manner. L. M. Wright, chairman of the state highways committee, at the request of Mr. Foley, was ordered to come to Terre Haute from Indianapolis and adjust the matter in a satisfactory way until after the war. Later it was discovered that Mayor Hunter was already in Indianapolis, having gone there to attend a convention of Indiana mayors, and Mr. Wright was instructed to see him there. It may be that Mr. "Wright will come to Terre Haute later in the day to confer with members of the automobile club and the local council of defense. He had not arrived at noon.
Speculation regarding the ultimate outcome of the matter of paving the three streets for which the contracts have already been let, is rife about the city building and it Is about, an ecmal division of opinion as to whether the Capital Issues comrriittee at Washington, which sanctioned the work, or the State Council of Defense, at Indianapolis, which vetoed the paving, is the superior body.
Thursday morning a certain city oflB cial, chafing under the delay and controversy over the paving of the nin teen city blocks on three streets, announced that he was ready to explain the entire situation.
President Bray, of the board of public works, intimated that the State Council of Defense, in issuing this order, was standing with the traction company against the wishes and welfare of the people of Terre Haute and Vigo county.
Another city official intimated that Chairman Foley, of the State Council of Defense, frequently appears as attorney for the Indiana traction inter ests and that probably he had not been sufficiently impressed with the need for the paving of these streets.
LETTERS WRITTEN BY HTTJJS TELL OF WEAKENING MORALE
Missives Not Intended for American Perusal Inform Home Polks of True Conditions.
"WITH THE AMERICAN" ARMY ON THE LORRAINE 1IIONT, Wednesday, Sept. 18.—(By the Associated Press.)—Fear lest the Americans would advance and overwhelm them, bitter complaint at bad food, and general despondency at the prospects of the war are the keynotes of letters written home by German soldiers and found on their persons when they were captured.
A certain Americsin division which took more than its quota of pfironers, has ma.de an exhaustive examination of these letters and found that the morale, even of the men in the Tenth German regiment—conceded to be the best opposing the Americans— is decidedly low, if it can be judged from private letters never intended for American consumption. 'It looks very bad for our dear Germany," writes one sokiier to his wife. "Who knows whether the Americans will break through? This morning we again were on the alert and tnought the Americans were going to attack, but nothing happened as yet." 'We few fellow cannot hold up this superior might and must all go helplessly into captivity," says another, "and of course most of the prisoners are murdered, but then we have to be satisfied with our fate, whatever happens."
Anothen German, however, evidently did not fear murder, which obviously had been proclaimed as the lot ot German soldiers falling into American hands, for he had written: "According to all appearances we are approaching turbulent, days. We constantly are on the alert and are afraid the Americans are going to attack. They are said to have assembled an enormous number of tank.:and troops. In that case we are lost, for everything in our front line i:mixed up. I am firmly convinced that I could not be worse off over there.''
Another soldier wrote that he fell worse than a dog. Fie declares thm even dogs have kennels to sleep in, while he must lie In the open in the ram and mnd.
