WHITE SLAVE DEMURRER
IN THE SUPREME COURT
Assistant District Attorney Asks
Ruling on "Holdihg Unde-
sirable Immigrant"

Applying the white slave law to one
merely keeping an undesirable alien
woman or girl after her entry into
the United States, Assistant Attorney
General Wallace today filed a brief in
the Supreme Court, in answer to the
demurrer Of the defendants in the case
Of the United States agt. Ellie and Ju-
liette Portale and others.
The lower courts sustained the de-
murrer. on the ground that the indict-
ment, brought in the district federal
court at Denver. failed to connect the
defendants with bringing into the
country the alien woman, and that fail
ure to make report to the immigration
authority constituted a criminal liza
bilfty only when the person had been
directly or indirectly connected with
bringing in the alien for purposes pro-
hibited by statute.
The brief of the government endeavors
to show by the legislative history of
the white slave act and court decisions
that the court below was in error, and
that the law does apply to one merely
keeping the undesirable alien after
her entry, although the person may
have had nothing to do with her COM
ing into the United States.

1T Is no longer, properly speaking,
battle, but siege. the Germans having
constructed along their hundred-mile front
series of small fortresses from the Disc
to the Meuse, made of old forts and dis
used Quarries
Bomb proof shelters, formed of bags
OF cement, and subterranean passages
connect the easements on the heights
of Pommiers with tho open country,
by means Of which the enemy secures
victuals and is supplied with ammuni-
ton. These elaborate works were
prepared by the Germans before the
march on Paris, thus indicating that
they had some doubts of success.
'"The plains of Champagne are ad-
mirably suited for the French often

redoubts, but II these hamper French
action they also stop German attacks
The battle Of the Aisne thus becomes
kind of Sebastopol. Operations OF
this sort always result in the defeat
of the besieged unless reinforcements
arrive"
Heavy Loss of Officers.
The part that British officers are
playing is illustrated by the bare tes-
timony of the casualty lists. Seven
hundred and ninety-seven officers are
among the killed, wounded and miss
ing, which Is a percentage out of all
proportion to the losses in the ranks.
One hundred and thirty officers have
been killed, ass have been wounded
and 279 are missing. Many OF the
missing probably must later be re-
corded as killed or wounded.
The Celdstream Guards regiment
holds the place of honor, with thirty
one casualties among it's officers corps.
The Kings Royal Rifles ana the sur
folk regiment have each had twenty
Ave officers killed or wounded; the
