drove for miles through thousands Of
acres of partly harvested wheat. What

have thousand or more OF their
soldiers at work with gang ploughs
drawn by gasolene tractors farming

Throughout this region the Ger

physically impossible as soon as active
operations recommended. Throughout

the Germans are treating the commits

FRENCH CELEBRATE
CANNON'S SUCCESS
Sell Medals of Famous
U.s. to Buy Comforts
for Soldiers.
BY NINE. JEAN ALCIDE PICARD.
Especial Correspondent OF Tie Trlbune.)

Paris. Feb. France had one Bel
gian Flag Day whose success was won
derful. More than 100000 francs
was collected for destitute Belgian
families by the sale of little flags, and
fer to-day the French Touring Club
organized the DAY of 49," to celebrate
the success of the famous French
cannon. The receipts will be used in
sending the troops at the front some
little comforts to make life in the
trenches more tolerable.
Never since the beginning Of the war
has Paris shown such rejoicing. From
carly morning gay crowds OF young
girls and boys, floating bright colored
ribbons, offered everybody a medal of
tie "75." and to judge from the num-
Ter displayed on the coats of the Sun
cay crowds on the boulevards they
must have had an enormous sale.
The eagerness with which all bought
and wore the badges was tribute 10
the soldiers, and also 20 the precious
as" gun. All seemed TO know how
much France owed this wonderful arm
which in the beginning of the war,
when the enemy had the advantage OF
numbers and wonderful preparedness,
enabled France to spread alarm in the
German ranks. The enemy did not sus-
poet such a powerful weapon being in
French hands. II became the dread OF
the Germans as we'll as the supreme
hope Of the French soldiers. Wherever
they heard it they knew that good work
was being done.

IN CANADIAN JAIL,
GERMAN ASKS AID
Threatens an International
Row with Claim He
Was RailrOaded.
From The Tribune Bureau

A new international tangle is threat
ened in the case Of Albert Klein,
German sculptor, Of 431 Marion ST.
Brooklyn, who is prisoner at Fort
Henry. near Montreal, Canada. The
Modellers' and Sculptors' Union. Of
which Klein is a member, has notified
Washington that the man was arrested
on American soil by American immi-
grafton inspectors who returned him to
Canada without an investigation, on
the grounds that he mad crossed the
boundary line IN DIT illegal manner.
Klein was sent BY the Brooklyn
branch of the Modeliers and Sculptors
Union to Trois Riyieres, canada, few
weeks before the outbreak Of the Euro
pean war TO remodel some statuary IN
a church there. His brother, William,
with whom he lived. received letter
from him during the middle of August
In which Albert announced that he was
leaving for Brooklyn, as Canadian SEN
timent against Germans made living IN
Canada an unpleasant task for Ger
man.
That was the last William heard Of
Albert until he received letter few
DAYS ago in which his brother stated
that he was being held prisoner.
az was arrested on American SOIL
near Malone, ten miles from the Cana
dian border, by American immigration
inspectors, who accused me of having
entered the United States in an illegal
manner" Albert Klein wrote to his
brother.
"Without having had the opportunity
to tell my side of the story at hear
ing as guaranteed by the American
Constitution was turned over TO the
Canadian authorities, who promptly
made me a prisoner. This is the first
opportunity | have had of writing 70
YOU, and | hope that you can do some
thing to get me out of here
William Klein said that his brother
had come TO this country in September,
1918, from Dusseldorf, Germany,
where he had been studying sculpture.
He fulfilled all the requirements OF the
immigration regulations and was duly
admitted to this country.
The State Department will be APP

Touching on other matters:
In the year 1905 there were i95
grade crossings of high speed railroads

had been reduced to $50 by reason Of
the Public Service Commissions work

the number of such crossings protected
by gates was 16l In 1914 it was 286.

Many Drunk as Saloonkeepers
Foil Police by Trick.

The Jersey City saloonkeepers, with
few exceptions, obeyed the Sunday
restrictions of the excise law yesterday
and removed screens and raised shades

saloons.
But business was not wholly sus-
pended II was carried on surreptI-
tiously and extensively. This was APP
parent in the number of intoxicated
men on the streets, who tarried longer
than usual when freedom Of entrance
and exit was curtailed.
Temporary bars were arranged in
halls and apartments over saloons, and
some carried on the traffic behind
screens in the rear of the barroom.
Agents of the Sunday Observance
and the Anti-Saloon leagues were ac-
tive and reported many suspicious
places, but as the doors were locked
and barrooms were exposed, the police
failed to make any raids on suspicion.
Only one arrest was made during
the day. A Polish saloonkeeper. VINO
