One of the loop newspaper drivers
is Gin again" This time it is the Her
aid whose man was brought into
court for taking the law into his own
hands and beating up newsbOy.
Nike Smith - he's the driver -
called to collect money from a news
boy by the name Of Album, who has
stand at Ashland and Grand av.
Album handed the money over. Then
the fight started. Mike claimed the
newsie didn't give him enough
money. He backed his feelings by
punching Album In the face and else
where.
Change that Album had in his
hand was knocked out on the street
and Mike finally quit wnen, he had
handed out a good trimming to the
newsie.
That all happened on Nov. Is.
Thursday, in Judge Uhlir's court,
Mike came to trial for disorderly con-
duct. His case had been continued
from a week before. Sadie Album.
the newsies' wife, had sworn out the
warrant.
Judge Uhlir expressed amazement
over conditions between newsboys
and trust press drivers when they
were explained to him by Clayton
Pense, attorney for the newsboy.
Pense told how newsies were
forced to "eat" papers when their
sales were not up to what the driver
thought they ought to be. He said
that all of the papers worked this
plan to boost their circulation re-
ports. Eating" newspapers means
making a newsboy take more than
he can sell, pay for those he gets
stuck on and do whatever he blame
pleases with the left-Overs.

could exist in this city" said Judge

Hindenburg's Presence
Stiffens German Lines

Petrograd, Aug. 6.-Since the loss
of Brody by the Austrians and the
successful operations of the Russians
against the Germans, which resulted
in their gaining the whole of the line
along the Stokhod and the capture OF
several fortified villages considerably
west of this river on the direct route
to Kovel. the situation on the Russian
General Brussilof's front has remained
virtually unaltered.
The Russians by no means have lost
control of the initiative, but another
wave Of most energetic German resist
ance has set in, and the newly organ
lied German army, which is composed
OF all available reserves and fresh re.
cruits. has undertaken the task OF
changing its tactics from passive re-
sistance 10 a most active counter Of
fensive. Field Marshal Won linden
burc's personal direction of the opera
tions in this field is quite apparent,
but il is not thought possible by the
Russian observers that he can more
than temporarily check the advance OF
the Russian forces upon kovel.
The Russians have succeeded IN con-
solidating all the positions they won
in the recent battle between the Stok-
nod and Kovel, except one village
which they were compelled TO yield be-
fore a determined German counter at
tack. Mean time the Russians, by gain
ing control of the northern part OF the
Stokhod, where il crosses the Pinsk
marshes. seemingly have effectively
eliminated all danger OF further nank
