Cycle Troops

IN Charging as is Shown by the
Recent Fighting Around
Apremont.

Correspondence OF Associated Rrsssl i
+ DUNK1RK, France, Dec. 90. That
troops mounted on bicycles may be
used at times for purposes of the
charge, with fully as good results as
cavalry. is said to be proven by the
lighting at Apremont.
The Germans attacked the French
defending Apremont, and compelled
them to abandon one trench after an
other, and finally the town itself. A
desperate struggle was kept up, show
ever, at the main bridge out OF the
town. The German regiments surg
ed to the attack with fierce shouts,
and It, looked as II the French were
to he completely routed, when unek-
pected reinforcements came up in the
form OF q company Of cyclist chas-
seurs.
4 The cyclists had unslung their
rifles and fixed their bayonets. Rid
ing at top speed, with their bayonets
in front OF them like iancesy they
swept through cloud OF dust
straight into the crowded masses OF
the enemy at the bridge head. There
was an indescribabie melee Of men
and machines, but the cyclists, some
mounted and some dismounted, used
their bayonets with such good effect
that in five minutes the Germans were
in retreat. BY this time the French
infantry had reformed and swept up
at double quick to reinforce the cy-l
clists and make the recapture Of the
town secure.

said more than 1876 persons were
named in the indictment.
Mayor Roberts, who Is regarded as
the leader Of the alleged conspiracy to
corrupt the Terre Haute election. is
charged with many overt, acts in the
indictment. He is accused Of levy
ing assessments against proprietors Of
saloons, dance halls, gambling houses
and resorts to be use for the registra-
ton Of voters; Of hiring men to

ed that the postal laws were violated

WIRE ESSS
Communication Comes into
Question Now as to Whether
It Violates Neutrality.
Correspondents Of Associated Press.

Correspondence of Associated Press).
LONDON, Dec. 26-Now that Swift
zerland has raised the point that, in
flying over her territory, British avia-
tors who dropped bombs on the Yep
pelin sheds at F'riedrichshafen violat-
cd Swiss neutrality, British lawyers
have asked the even more novel ques-
ton as to whether the recognition of
air sovereignty logically involves
the prohibition of wireless commune
cation by nations at war.
In other words, If the passage Of
IN airship through the air of a neut-
raj country, Is violation of neutral
the air? The question, as fantastic
as 1t may seem, raises nice point IN
international law-one that may yet
have to be thrashed out at some flu
ture conference.
Great Britain expressed regret that
her ayiators crossed Swiss territory,
but she emphasized at the same time
that she did not concede sovereignty
of the air to anyone On this point
lawyers disagree. English courts have
held In the past that there can be no
trespass where free air is concerned.
In the United States, on the other
hand, the city Of Cleveland, o, CON
tested in the courts and lost in a
case where It erected bridge, part
of which projected in the air over
the property of tax payer. For
this privilege the city was forced to
pay ten thousand dollars.
British legal opinion thus far voic-
ed seems to be that the air is private
or state property insofar as It is eff
fectively occupied. That Is to say;
effective occupation consists at pres
ent Of dominating the atmosphere to
the limit Of modern rife range-say
seven thousand feet II can not see,''
saba lawyer. that country would
I be guilty Of a breach Of neutrality II
an aeroplane passed over it at a
height beyond the range of control.
j hold that the air above the globe is
freesto the use Of the aircraft OF all
nations, and is only subject to such
rights as are required by the sub
dacent powers for their respective
protection against attack, espionage,
injection. infringement Of fiscal right
and danger to the life and property
OF their subjects"

BELGIUM
Is. TO Be Officially Taken over
by Germany, According to
Notification of Neutrals.

LONDON, Dec 26.-The British au-
thorities have. been advised Of Ger
many's notification to neutral gov.
ornaments that 1t will no longer recog-
nize the exequators crediting their
consuls to Belgium. This action has
created some surprise in England
where 1t is regarded as a preliminary
step to the official taking over Of
Belgium by the Germans. The result
OF this action probably would be the
refusal to recognize Brand Whitlock,
the American minister at Brussels. or
the Marquis of Villa Lobar, the Span
ish minister, as diplomats accredited
to Belgium. e, q 3.

FRENCH 10 JJRNAL S
MUG III HA R.A SSE1D
Many Employ at Front, Paper
Stocks Are Low and the i
Censorship.

tC0tSespondcncc OF Associated Pressl.
EARlS. Dec. 26.-As the war in
lourppe progresses, the difficulties
mat beset newspaper publishers In
france, particularly. In Paris have
greatly increased. With the outbreak
Of the war, many newspapermen went
70 the front, and their places had to
pc nued Then provisions had to be
I made for paper, in event the city
should be besieged The various
Journals reduced their circulation to
the fewest number possible, and in
their desire to economic cut down
tneir pages from sixteen to eight
sheets, and In some cases as low as
Two pages. Advertising dwindled to
nothing, and the proceeds from sub
scripton and sales were all that re-
mained. Sacrifices were made on ev-
cry hand, and curtailment practiced
wherever possible. From the editor
in-chief to office boy, salary reduc-
tons from 10 to so or even go per
cent were made, and these were &C
cepted without murmur. The en-
tire system OF correspondence from
the provinces was disrupted by the
call to arms, and consequently in
coming news service was most unsat-
tsfactory.l
But soon these unfayorable condi-
tons were overcome, and in their
place arose the task of competing
with a stringent censorship. Today
the censorship in France is fully as
rigid as that Of England. In the pc.
ginning military alone, the censorship
has now become administrative as
well.
"A double censorship exists, One in
Paris and the other In Bordeaux. The
newspapers complain that the cen,
sorship concerns itself with every
thing, including many things that are
none Of its business, and also allege
that It Is arbitrary and capricious. A
certain news story might receive the
ratification Of the censorship in Par
Is, while Bordeaux would condemn
the same story and vice versa. Un7
der these conditions the Partisan
newspaper editor has been at a loss
to know what he can do or what he
can expect.
Papers have to go to press an hour
and q half earlier than usual, in or
der to send three copies of each sheet
to the censor's Office. Then they
have to wait until each sheet is exam
ined and permission telephoned to use
it, or not to use certain Indicated por-
tons. Only after every sheet has
thus passed, can the paper go to
press If the regulations Of the CEN
sorshfp are ignored, all copies are
confscated and publication suspended
very severe punishment. Protest
against these conditions is constantly
being made, and it is known in Paris
that Great Britain has found It ex-
pedient to intervene in this matter.
The French newspapers admit that
the movement Of troops obviously
should not be published for patriotic
reasons, but they find 1t most difficult
to understand why the glorious deeds
of their armies and the men compos-
ing them should not be recorded for
the perusal of not only the French
public, but for the people OF nom
belligerent countries as well.
