Judge Thoman promptly gave him
the maximum penalty, fine of $500

court felt decided to stand trial and
the jury found him guilty. The court
assessed the same fine. In the re-

Judge Thoman, owing to the fact that
the parties had come overland and had
little opportunity to find out about
the quarantine. only assessed a NOM
inal fine of $40 and costs. This clears
up the docket so far as the quarantine
is concerned and insures respect for
its regulations in the future.

In addition they voted a rebate Of $50

but assert the Russians suffered so
severely during the attack that they
were unable to disturb the orderly

IN THE CHAMPAGNE
The French war office has given a
more definite idea of the extent of
the battle now in progress in the
Champagne district. The attacking
front is about four miles in length,
and it is asserted that the allies
now hold German positions to the
depth of about twO-thirds of a mile.
The official German statement of
today says French attacks in this
region were repHlsed easily. North
Of ArTas, near the Belgian border,
the Germans captured positions of
the allies, which they say were near
ly a mile in extent.

- - Dardanelles is quoted in a dis
patch from Athens as saying that
only two forts now remain intact.
The bombardment Of the inner
forts was resumed this morning, ten
large warships entering the straits
for this purpose. The reports of
extensive damage to the fortified
tons are not borne out, however,
by dispatches from Constantinople.
One such message to a Berlin news
paper states that the injury to the
outer forts is less than has been re-
ported and that the inner fortified
tons, which constitute the more i'm
portant defences, have not yet been
reached.
