CAMlClA ESTATE
 10 UNCLE SAM
( cides-TerritoriaI Law Is Not
 Retroactive

Judge F. M Brown yesterday rem dered g decision in the Louis Cami- cia estate case, in which the govern ment and the territory demanded the residue of the estate.
 By the decision the estate escheats to the government of the United States and not to the territory. Judge Brown upheld that part of the contention of Attorney c. E. Bun nell, who appeared for the territory, claiming that the territorial legis- lature had full authority to pass laws transferring the escheatment from the government to the territory, but that inasmuch as Louis Camicia had died prior to the passing of the ter ritorial law transferring the escheat to the territory, therefore the former law held good in this case and judg- ment was given as requested by As sistant District Attorney Guy Bru- baker, who appeared for~the govern ment
 The estate is valued at S5,0O0, con- sisting of real estate and some per- sonal property
 It was the intention of Dr. Cami- cia to bequeath his estate to the school children of Va1lez for the pur- pose of purchasing g. library, and while he made the statement of his intention to many, yet he never took any steps to carry it out.

Archduke Peter Ferdinand is fighting

Archduke Leopold Salvatore, as in

1pated in many battles.
Archduke Charles Albert is one of a

continuous action since the war begun.
Archduke Joseph ON Firing Line.
Archduke Joseph, as head of a divis-

line often.
Archduke Francis Salvador is an in

ed several corps.
Archduke Macmillan, 10 years old.

Archdutchesses Maria Theresa, Maria

nurses, every member of the entire i'm

A 19-year-oEd archduke has taken his

Country. Archduchess Maria Valeria,
daughter of Emperor Francis Joseph,
has enlisted in the service of the war.
The zeal with which these archdukes
and archdutchesses are serving their
country, whether at the head of regi-
ments or in caring for the wounded on
the battlefield, has demonstrated plain

General Joffre, in this feature of his
campaign, lived up to his motto. His
motto, a punning motto on his name.
is "J'offre-mais je prends," which
might be translated, II seem to give,
but really take"
General Joffre, in that long, swift,
discouraging retreat from Belgium to
the Marine, seemed to give the victory
to the Germans. At the Marine he halt

from exhaustion, and confidently they
came on. But so terribly were they at
