CASE LIKELY,
Department OF JUSTICE
PLANNING FOR DEFENSE
Government Will Resist Contentious
Of Railroads That Statute Is lncap-
able Of Enforcement-Prom d.
cision by Supreme Court
Possible.

Washington, Nov. 16.-Suits by rail.
roads attacking the constitutionality
OF the eight-hour law have been start
ed in many parts Of the country and
the Department of Justice has laid
plans to defend them.
No offer has yet been made by the
railroads to settle the question by one
test case. 1t was stated officially that
Attorney General Gregory has made
no such proposition to the railroads,
ard the department is planning to con-
test each suit as it comes up for hear
ing. Assistant Attorney General Un-
derwood will have direct charge of the
governments defense and Frank Hag-
erman of Kansas City, Mo-, has been
retained to assist him. Mr.. Under
wood expects to appear personally in
most of the cases, but their number
may make it necessary for him to en-
ploy other special counsel.
Law Unconstitutional, Is Claim.
The railroads base their prayers for
temporary restraining orders against
The law becoming effective on the
ground that it is unconstitutional and
incapable Of enforcement The gov
ernment will resist those contentious
and assert that Congress had ample
power to enact such legislation.
The department issued this state
ment:
"A large number Of suits attacking
the constitutiouality of the Adamson
law have been instituted in various
parts Of the United States. The De-
partment Of Justice will take direct
charge of these cases."
Prompt Decision Expected.
Prompt and final decision by the
supreme court of the constitutionality
Of the law is possible under federal
court practice, It was stated by law
vers familiar with federal procedure.
Should a test case or cases be ap-
pealed to the supreme court it was be-
ieved here that despite congestion Of
important cases on it's docket the court
would advance Adamson act proceed
mgs for early hearing and decision.
The statement of Samuel Gompers
that the law would go into effect, "in-
junction or no Injunction" and the
statement of w. S. Carter, head of the
locomotive firemen and engineers de-
aying that a strike had been threat
ened If the law we're not enforced, has
attracted attention among federal Of

YOUNG MAN WAS STUNG
Cupid Tried to Palm Negroes Off On

UNITED Press Dispatch

Limited Press DlSpatch.1
Minot, N. D., December 20.-Two
years ago Miss Edith Glover of Flor
ence, Kansas, responded to the de-
scription of a disconsolate Ward
county young farmer who wanted t.
make love. Both were readers of a
matrimonial reau's publication
which advertised to mate souls.
The Ward county lover was gener-
Gus and showered something like
$500 on his prospect. A few days ago
he decided it was time to close the
deal He wired her $78. She was fifteen
miles from her "old home town" but
she got the message and caught the
first train for Minot.
At this end of the courtship the
lover waited. From one of the Pull
mans yesterday stepped woman
deeply yelled and cloaked, but intent
on her mission. She glanced around
at the crowd on the platform and
then picked her man.
The disappointed Ward county
farmer lost faith in matrimonial
bureaus right then. She was ne
gress. At the police station con-
ference followed between the princi-
pals. 1t was determined that the best
way out was to pay her way back to
Kansas. And he did.

KEEP NEWS FROM SOLDIERS
German Fighters Not Informed As to
the Peace Proposals.
WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS

With The British Army in France,
December 20.-Although the peace
proposals of Germany have been
heralded to the world through the
press, it seems that even now the
great mass of the German soldiers
are ignorant of them. This is apparent
from the talk of prisoners that are
taken on the western front The pri-
Yates of the German army do not
seem to get the news. Their govern
ment does not seem to keep them in
formed, or to furnish them with the
facilities of getting real information
about what is going on. Among a
large number of prisoners taken re-
Gently and questioned about the
peace proposals, only one would adj
nit that he knew anything about
them, and this man was COM
missioned officer.
1t is noticed that the German ar
tillery of late on the western front
has been more active than hereto
fore and the German aeroplanes, too,
have been buster than recently. 1t
appears that Field Marshal Won Hin
denberg has been dissatisfied with
the comparative Inactivity of the
Germans on the western front, while
the British cannon has kept up it's
bombardments. 1t is understood that
the Germans have become quite
alarmed at the effects of tn constant
hammering of the British artillery
and are putting more life into their
own artillery in the hope of accomp-
fishing something in the way of sill
encing the British. Likewise, the
British aeroplanes have been con-
stantly lowering around and over the
the German lines, and now the Ger
man aeroplanes are getting more
active, apparently in the hope of
driving them Off

ROME PROTECTS SELF

Concern On Part Of Authorities; the

the presence of the
pope, respect for or fear of whom is
supposed so far to have saved Rome
from aerial attacks, it is now taken
for granted that the Eternal City
with her countless monuments and
works of art may soon be attacked
by Austrian aviators.
The Italian military authorities
have been actively engaged for sew
eral months preparing to protect the
city from raid, with an elaborate
signal system arranged by William
MarcOni to warn the defenders of the
city of the approach of enemy aero
planes. The Roman newspapers re-
Gently published notices that the al
arm would consist of five cannon
shots, with the usual ringing of
church bells as signal that the
danger was over.
While so far it has proven i'm
possible to prevent sporadic attacks
on London. Paris, Venice, and other
cities, arrangements have been made
that may at least prevent the es
cape of raiders who attack Rome
The city is favored by two low noun
tain ranges between her and the
Adriatic sea, distance of 125 miles.
But should the aeroplanes escape
the cost guns and the anti-aerial
guns planted on these mountain tops,
the advancing aeronauts will still
find in their path numerous squad
rOns of Italian machines. The city
itself is armed with numerous high
power searchlights and anti-aerial
guns. The famous Seven Hills of
Rome, including the Capitoline above
the forum, have had each been so
armed
The Janiculum hill, which domin-
ates st. Peters church and the Vati-

eral guns planted on it's brow. The

guns near the Castel SAINT angelo,
the solid and lofty marble tomb built
for the emperors, when Rome We

converted into a fortress.
While there is no uneasiness felt
ty the people of Rome for their own
safety, it is certain, however, that
a bomb dropped anywhere inside its
limits could hardly miss destroying

a short period of elaboration, the
jury that tried the suit of Henry

tiff in the sum of $50.

purporting to be issued by Mr.. Long,
and Endorsed by Mr.. Kaufman. Mr..
Kaufman paid the amounts of the
