Health Of Prisoners.

Those who study prisons and try to
find out why men get there will be In
terested in this news from New York
city. Out of 1000 men of military age
registered on June 5 in penal institn-
tions Of that city less than per cent
were physically fit for service. In
Blackwell's Island prison not one was
fit for the army. Every one was a
physical discard. A great many per-
sons who have studied such things
much will say that perhaps the physi-
cal condition of these young men may
be the chief reason for their presence
in prison. And most Of us feel quite
sure that fine, healthy bodies and nor
NAL minds are most likely to keep their
owners out Of prison. 1t Is with some
satisfaction that we reflect upon the
fact that this war will do great deal
to make human bodies stronger and
healthier-and to TINT extent make
prisons useless.-nlinois State Jour.

Trenton, Nov. 3.-The Pennsylvania
Railroad Company having signified its
unwillingness to put into effect re-
duced rate schedule for soldiers travel
ing between their homes and Camp
Dix, the public utility commission has
given notice that it will consider the
question at an informal conference to
be held next Wednesday.
For several weeks the board has re-

fuence to obtain lower rates for sol
diers, so they might be able to visit

It was shown that the round trip fare
to Camp Dix from Jersey City is 1892,
while jitney hire brings the transporta-
ton cost of trip home up to $3.50 or

and an even larger sum for those In
more northerly parts of the state.
Inspector Maybury of the board took
up the matter with David N. Bell, gen.
eral passenger agent of the Pennsylva.

munication from Mr.. Bell to the board
asserting that the traffic facilities OF
the road in the vicinity OF Camp Dix

BERLIN ADMITS DEFEAT
ON THE AISkE SECTOR

Berlin, Nov. 3.-The Germans have
retreated from points along the
Chemin- Des Danes in the Aisne sec
tor of the front in France, according
to the German official communication
issued last evening.
The communication gives no rea
son for the maneuvre, but says that 1t
was made systematically and without
Interference by the French troops.
The bulletin reads:
"Unnoticed and undisturbed by the
enemy. we systematically withdrew
our lines from the billy front Of the
Chemin-Des- Danes"
The day report said:
"Front of the German crown prince:
On the Oise-Aisne canal and along the
ridge of the Chemn- -Des- Danes there
was a considerable increase in the
fighting activity.
After several hours OF drumfire
Braye. Their assault collapsed san
guinarily before our line"

Paris. Nov. 3.-The artillery battle
was still in progress on the Aisne
front, according to the day report of
the War Office. The bulletin reads:
North OF the Aisne there was inter
mittent artillery fighting. We dis
persed enemy detachment which at
tempted to approach our lines in he
region of Ghevreux.
Enemy attacks on our small
posts at the Main de Massiges, near
Tahure, and north of st. Mihiel were
without success. Patrol encounters

US to take prisoners"
No Suspense In Washington.
Washington, Nov 3.-The voluntary
withdrawal of German forces from
lines along the hilly front of the
Chemin-Des-Dames is expected here to
result in important gains by General
Petain. 1t Is thought to be probably
a prelude to the fall of Laon and La
Fere and tends to confirm the forecast
OF an ultimate retirement OF the Ger
man forces in the west to the line Of
the Meuse.
French military experts in Wash
ington were gratified when Informed
Of the brief but significant announce
ment from Berlin, for they looked
upon 1t as a natural corollary to the
important gains made by the French
forces In the last ten days, by which
they have advanced their Aisne sector

The Chemin-Des-Dames Is a road
over the ridge that dominates the val
ley of the Aisne and the Allette valley,
and its Importance was taken advan-
tage OF by Napoleon in 1914, in opera,
tions that led to the battle of Craonne.
When news OF the German retire
ment from this ridge was first re-
ceived, there was a disposition to re-
gard 1t as possibly the result Of the
withdrawal of German forces for use
In the AustroGerman invasion of the
Plains OF Venetia But this is not the
Interpretation placed on the movement
by French military experts here, who

the result of the recent successful Of

Camouflage is new science to America, but we are an adaptable people, as well as ere ative. and if we have not been able to surpass the Germans in their et- ! forts to make U-boats invisible, we have at least equaled them in this diff ficult art, one in which they have had more practice than we have had and to which they have devoted their characteristic energy.
