The purpose is to send these Young

cure the best possible results in the
agricultural regions where labor is
most needed.
Certain peasant 1aborers in the rural
districts not serving in the army have
been unwilling to work at the old
wages. They demanded higher pay.
This made necessary legislation where
by they are now being compelled to
labor at the old wages
BY distributing seeds and asricul-

BATTLES DETECTIVES
ON WAY TO HOSPITAL
Negro Who Wanted to See President
Wilson Under Sanity
Observation.

A coiored man, who gave his name as
Edward Beckham and who said he
lived at 27O6 street northwest, called
at police headquarters yesterday after
noon and told Detectives Burlingame
and Warren of his intention to call on
the President at the White House. He
said he intended to petition the Presi-
dent to help him to gain possession OF
some property in Philadelphia, from
the enjoyment of which he was being
wrongfully excluded.
Beckham's conversation led the de-
tectives to believe that his mind was
affected and they suggested that they
would take him to see United States
Attorney Laskey. The caller seemed
more than satisfied with the sugges-
ton, left the Office and entered the big
touring car of the police department.
Speeds Toward Hospital.
The automobile sped in the direction
of Washington Asylum Hospital.
Il know where the district attor-
ney's Office is" he added, and I'm not
going another step"
Beckham attacked the detectives. He
succeeded in biting BurlingaIne's hand
The detective dealt the colored man d
single blow with his fist to release his
hold with his teeth, and in doing SO
spraned his hand.
The prisoner continued to give the de-
tectives trouble, and his loud cries OF
murder attracted the attention of pc
destrians. Finally the hospital was
reached and Beckham was turned over
TO attendants. to be held for observa
tion as to his mental condition.

portance to the German communica-

The German batteries on this day
made no effective reply to our artillery
fire.
"On Thursday (AIarch ID the fight
ing continued almost as fiercely as or
the previous day. The enemy attempt
ed counter attacks at various points
and especially from Bois du Biez, but
our guns opened on the wood with sc
much effect that the Germans did no,
emerge from its shelter. A little ground
was gained at various points. but. or
the whole. the situation remained very
much as it was on the previous day.
THE enemy's resistance had stfened
but all his efforts to drive us from the
positions we had gained were repulsed
with loss. The German artillery had
now become more active: Neuve Chap
pelle was heavily shelled and the whole
line was swept with shrapnel.
Men Are Elated.
"It is difficult to form an idea of the
result of this striking success upon our
men. They have been paying Off old
scores; they have now inflicted on the
enemy something of that ordeal which
he inflicted upon us in the earlier
stages. of the war by dint of superior
number and weight of artillery. The
enemy for the time being is beaten and
on the run. 1t was the consciousness of
this which filled the hospitals and am
balances with the cheeriest crowd of
wounded ever seen there.

Men Are Dashing.
"our success does not lie in the fact
that we have gained an extent of
ground probably greater than has
ever been gained in the space of SO
short a time since the commencement
of the present form of trench war
fare. but in that our men, in spite OF
disheartening effects of months of in
activity in the trenches, have showed
the utmost dash throughout THESE
operations.
"They had to advance over very deep
ground. under a heavy fire. carrying
a very heavy weight in equipment and
tools: yet no task has proved too

Except at one point there was hard

District line and through the lower
part of Montgomery county. The kill
was on the Clarence Moore farm at
Kensington about 80 o'clock.
The hunters then rode to the Chevy
Chase Club. where John Q. Evans,
master of the hounds, was presented
with scarfpin and sandwich case
by the members of the club in recogni-
tion of his efforts to promote the well
fare of the organization. A plate of
800 in gold was presented to James
Murphy, huntsman.
Witnessed by Society Folk.
The start of the hunt and the kill
were witnessed by large gathering
Of persons prominent in society. They
rode to the hospital grounds in auto
mobiles and as soon as the hunters
were Off started for Kensinstop, ar
irving there ahead of the hunters and
in time to witness the kill. Every one

Cutting Out Street Evils.

Besides this effort to quicken health
and safety on the East Side the junior
police are the sworn foes of craps shoot

bonfire building and cigarette smoking

For instance. points out Capt.
sweeney, "since the force was formed
we have had few complaints about
street bonfires whereas used to
have hundred a night sometimes.
We expect to save the city thousands
OF dollars in asphalt.
The kid cops avoid bullying and
being bullied in enforcing the law.
They carry no billies and boast no
strong arm squad" If they can't gain
their purpose by being polite" and

They are instructed to call the regulars

There's just one trouble with the

all want to be detectives. They want to
ferret out plots just like the fellow
who slinked into my office the other
day with something bundled up under his
coat and a mysterious whisper. 1t

shop where trap doors in the floor made
him suspect a band of thieves. We have
to discourage this sleuthing. This force
is going to make the East Side clean as

kids, but if you haven't sense you can al

junior officers may give drills them
selves at the school every day.
These youthful guardians of peace
are trying to teach the responsibilities
of citizenship to the young and old OF
the East Side. They help keep streets
clean. fire escapes cleared. garbage
cans in proper condition. Their lst
of duties reads: Make special effort to
perform (such) duties at your own

The members of each squad are as

population in this part of New YORK

not understand such city laws, FOR

brances or distractions on fire escapes,
the boys find that much of their work
consists in explaining the municipal
ordinances When the explanation is

Food Scars in Austria.
VENICE, Italy. March 13, via London.
Intelligence reaching here from Vienna
shows that many articles Of daily food
have more than doubled in price in the
Austrian capital since the war began, and
that there has been a secret speculation
of foodstuffs which has aroused the in
dignation of the people of both Vienna
and Budapest.
j 1t is alleged that many. refugees from
Galicia who have money are employing
their funds in speculation in foodstuffs.
Exploiting the necessities of the small
storekeepers and the consuming public
is regarded as a poor return for the
shelter and hospitality offered to the tens
Of thousa nds of the half starving fellow
countrymen of these Galicians.
This trafflcking in food supplies is car
ried on in secret, chiefly in the coffee
houses. Through agents sent to the pro-
vinces large stores Of food are bought and
retaied at eXorbitant prices to store
keepers. AS these agents were carrying
on business without proper trade licenses
they are being prosecuted, and more than
fifty of them already have been arrested.
