SAYS MAN TOOK MONEY TO
KEEP NAME OFF TAX LIST


Rudolph Nechaninky, a saloon
keeper, 1867 Willard avenue, last
night accused Thomas Conway and
William K. Joy, deputy assessors, of
having accepted money to keep his
name off the tax lists.
He claimed that they visited his
saloon yesterday and demanded 81
to put over the job for him. AS soon
as they had left he called the Lawn
dale police station and they were ar
rested on charges of disorderly con-
duct. .~-.-...
John Koloska, 1884 S. Albany ave-

ness to the transaction.

5000 GERMAN DEAD
AT ARMENTTERES
British Prisoners Loud in
Praise Of Germans for
Humane Treatment

London, Nov. 3.-That the allies in
northern France and Belgium have been
fighting extensively since October 20
was announced by the official war in
formation bureau here today. 1t was
said large proportion of the Germans
engaged in opposing them were but half
trained and that all were suffering ter
ribly from lack of food.
Accompanying the announcement that
the allies had assumed the aggressive,
the bureau made public another of its
"eye witness" " stories, covering events
in the western war zone up to October
.26.
The German troops who have been
arriving at the front lately, it was stat
ed, though not fully trained, have been
fresh, courageous, and have fought with
much determination, Prisoners were
quoted, however, as declaring the Teu'
tons heartily sick or the conflict,
"'It is now certain, said the report,

but were repulsed, Six thousand of
their dead were declared to have been

as having lost nearly It's entire strength
and most Of the balance of the regiment
as having been wiped out later in the
fighting north Of the River Lys.
Bntons, captured by the Germans and
subsequently rescued by the allies, were
quoted as paying tribute to their cap
