LONDON PEOPLE FEAR
RAID BY GERMANS

= Lsnssn, NoR.24 Extreme activity
Of the MeEmans9 apng the, Belgian
coast, as we'll as reports fncicating
that warships are about to move from
Emden, is causing the greatest un-
easiness here.
The greatest mystery surrounds the
movement along the coast. Military
experts express the belief that activ'
ity in Belgium may be part of the
Plan for the establishment Of bases
for daring raid upon London as a
forerunner of the movement to en-.
gage the allied feet off the coast and
under this cover to endeavor to trans
port troops by sea to the French
coast.
The entire population Of the Bel.
CLAN coast towns of Zee Bruggee and
Knocke has been transferred to
Bruges by the Germans. The people
were not permitted to move into H0l-

risoned largely by slightly wounded
soldiers, the others being moved to-

St. Paul Judge So Views
Minimum Statute.
INJUNCTION IS GRANTED
Court Holds Legislature Exceeded Its
Powers in Enacting Law, Which
ment to Federal Constitution.

St. Paul, Nov. 24.-Holding the min
imum wage law passed by the 1913
legislature to be unconstitutional
Judge Catlin handed down decision
ordering temporary Injunction
against State Auditor 1verson and
members of the minimum wage COM
mission from expending further mon
ey in the work of the commission
The ruling also suspends the orders
Of the commission fixing a minimum
wage for women and minor workers.
Judge Catlin's order makes the
minimum wage law ineffective until
the case has been tried on its merits.
His decision will be appealed to the
supreme court.
In granting the petition of E. w.
Williams, shoe manufacturer of Wi
mona, for q temporary Injunction
Judge Catlin ordered that Williams
be required to furnish $1,000 bond.
Might Increase immortality.
"The actual working of the law
would be apt to increase immortality
if morals are dependent upon wages" "
Judge Catlin asserted in the ruling.
The law was held to be uncOnstitu.
tional because it delegated the legis-
lative powers to an appointive COM
mission and placed in that commits
sion discretion as to whether there
should be a minimum wage.
Even the state cannot lawfully
become a 'pater familias' until the
form Of government has been entire
ly changed" Judge Catlin declared.
The second constitutional ground
on which thesepurt based the decision
was the abridgenent OF the tight OF
the individual to contract. The law
interferes with both the employe and
the employer, according to the court.
The abridgement of contract was held
to be in violation Of the Fourteenth
amendment to the constitution Of the
| United States.

An official communication given out
in Petrograd says the Germans are

Strykow to Zgierz, Zdunska, VIOLA and
Wozniki. This line runs from the
northeast Of LODI down past that town
to the southwest Berlin, however
officially reports there is no decision
in the east.
The German statement says In
Northern Poland the fierce fighting
which has been taking place still is
without result. In Southern Poland

In the western arena Of the war
the present lines Of battle seem to

part of the front the Germans mani

an intermittent cannonade, which,
however, was less spirited than on the
preceding day. There were some in

DOES NOT CARE FOR THAW
But New York State Wants its Laws
Respected.


New York, Nov. 25.--The state OF
New York cares nothing that Harry
X. Thaw has escaped from Matteawan
and is outside its territorial limits,
but it cares much that the orderly
administration of it's laws should not
be perverted or Obstructed by Grim
inal means or the corrupt use OF
money"
This was contained in q brief sent
to the United States supreme court by
Attorney General Parsons, seeking the
return of Thaw to the custody Of this
state.
The brief supports a motion to be
argued early in December asking for
a reversal of the order of the United
States district court which refused to
permit the extradition of Tbaw from
New Hampshire.

STRUGGLE IN WEST
FLANDERS Renewed
Activity Is Shown at Several
Points Along Coast.

ing in Russian Poland, but without
details as to the outcome, and re-
sumption of similar activity in West
FLANDERS and other points in the west
ern battle line, are the outstanding
features in the two principal areas Of
military operations in Europe.
In Russian Poland the appearance
of Russian reinforcements Is postpon-
ing decision ofthe battle, according
to oficial advices from Berlin. The
German press. however, accounts the
battle in Russian Poland as virtually
won and already is estimating the ef.
feet upon future military operations.
Vienna onfcially reports successes in
Russian Poland and the capture of 49,
900 Russian prisoners.
In Berlin it is said the outcome of
the main battle with the Russians may
decide not only that phase of the
many sided war, but the whole Eu-
ropean struggle. A decisive triumph

Little News From Front.
Upon what information the conf
dent Berlin predictions were based
was not fully apparent. An early
German Official statement said merely
that fighting in Poland continued, the
struggle going on to the south Of
iPlock. in the vicinity Of Lodz and
near Geenstochau. Russia officially
admits that the Germans have won
partial successes, but there 10 nothing
from this source to show tkat the con-
tinued German advance toward War
saw is influencing the campaign to the
north. in East Prussia, or to the south,
near Cracow, Galicia.
In the west the fighting in Belgium,
which has been slow for several days,
has broken out with renewed ferocity
at Ypres, with the artillery playing
the main part. London observers
suggest that this may be the prelude
to another German attempt to pierce
the line. The town hall and central
market at Ypres have been destroyed
by artillery fire and other buildings
were set on fire. Ypres is in the CEN
ter of the allied line blocking the way
to the French coast towns, and the
English are holding this position.

NO CRIME IN BUYING CHIPS
jury In New York Court Saw No
Harm in Shifting a Pack of
Cards, Either.

Buying chips in a smoky atmos-
phere and shifting pack of cards
among men seated at table are not
necessarily gambling, according to
the jury which acquitted Dominick
Carlucca before Judge Humphrey in
the Queens county court.
Carlucca had a cigar store at 9
Washington avenue, Jamaica, and it
was well patronized on the night
the police visited the p lace and ar
rested Carlucca as a common gam
bier.
Assistant District Attorney Wal
lace Dreyfuss told the jury that a
game of ''stud poker" was under way
when the police entered and heard
a man ask for So worth of chips.
Chips? Chips ?" inquired Attor-
ney Luke O'Reilly, addressing the
jury on behalf of the prisoner. "Is
buying chips gambIing? You can
buy chips in a department store you
can get Saratoga chips in a restau-

men; buying chips is not gambling.

Builders of Centuries Ago Designed

A real estate man will declare that

nail or a single bit of metal, that
