Says Correspondent Who

LONDON, Sept. 21.
German troops are dying to the music of
their regimental bands in the valley Of

night. Their losses are colossal, says an
English correspondent, who sends his
story from La Ferte-Mlon, south OF

fact that of the present situation Just
as the junction Of the Ourcq and Marne
at Meaux made that town the key OF
encounter last week so the junction OF
the Oise and the Afsne at Compiegne has
endowed the latter with cardinal Import

army had the River Oise on its right, and,
for the moment, the danger of being OUT

"MOVIES" SHOW PICTURES
WITHOUT CENS0R'S SEAL
The State Board Tells Of Some Of tn
Troubles.


Troubles.
Moving picture houses. at least n
dozen of them in this city, are using the
State Board OF Censors' seal on pictures
that never even saw the inside of the
States projection rooms. This Is the
information given this afternoon by J.
Louis Breitinger. chief censor.
Many of the owners Of movie houses
about town, who receive Aims from the
exchanges and who are afraid OF being
fined for using pictures they know
should bear the state seal. simply use a
seal of their own. This is one OF the
new troubles that confront the Board Of
Censors.
Up to the present there have been but
few arrests of those who have violated
tho rule covering the act Of 1911 which
prohibits the use OF any Aim that has
not passed the state Board of Censors.
Four or five who have been arrested
have been fined $50.
The rule which went into effect on ths
first of September. has not been strictly
kept by owners of movie" shows and
the State Board has been inclined to 70
easy with them for the present. By the
first of December the law will be strictly
enforced

Because he is particular as to how he

George L. Niepling. who is a justice OF

rant. which is all wrong, for, he claims
he is a citizen and frssholder OF Clsmen-

Star" Motive Not in Question.

Representative James Manahan, of
Minnesota, put the Long Island fish
erman through severe grilling to
draw out from him what his real OBJ
jeet was in appearing before the COM
mittee, apparently against the bill.
Are you not a paid legislative
agent2" was one of the questions
asked by the congressman. This
Downs denied but he admitted that his
expenses to attend this hearing were
paid by the Long Island Fishermen's
Association, The congressman also
drew from the witness the admission
that he has been in attendance at
legislative hearings in the Albany
and always in opposition to bills that
had the object of conserving the fish
supply. Other members of the COM
mittee followed up Mr.. Manahan by
trying to discover from the witness
what he would substitute for the
present measure, but could get no
direct reply to their queries. The wit
ness showed adroitness in evading
direct replies, and when cornered
once or twice would get away from
the subject by saying, Il think so.
Congressman Manahan kept asking
the question over and over again OF
the witness until he received a reply,
what is your objection to this meas
ure?"
After many repetitions the witness
finally explained that he did not
think that the matter of regulating
the fishery problems should be left to
one man or a department. 1t was his
idea that the members of Congress
could deal with 1t more irttelligentiy.
TO this Representative Manahan
