strong points made by Mr., Jess are:

is critical one
when the growers understand that
they will be up against shortage

ARMY OBSERVERS BACK
FROM WESTERN FRONT

AN ATLANTIC PORT. July %
Eleven American army officers. mem
oers OF a special commission sent to
France. England and Belgium early in
June as Investigators Of army condi-
tons, arrived here today on an Ameri-
can steamship.
The officers declined to say Just what
their work was, but 1t was learned
they visited all the commands on the
western front, and shrapnel-scarred
steel helmets which they brought back
as souvenirs supported their admission
that they had been under fire.
The work for which they were sent
abroad was completed when the first
detachment Of the American troops ar
rived in France. They confirmed cabled
reports Of the enthusiasm with which
the American soldiers were received by
the French people. and as one officer
expressed 1t: we are mighty proud of
the way our bows sized up alongside
the soldiers of whom they are now al
lies"
The French people are wonderfully
impressed with the American game Of
base ball. the officer said. They see in
1t something more than sport, and the
almost unanimous expression is that
the way they can throw a base ball will
make them great fighters when 1t comes
to hurting hand grenades in close trench
warfare"

DON'T CARRY A RAZOR
WRAPPED UP IN PAPER
Court Rules Concealed Weapon Law
Applies, Especially If You
Get Drunk.

The fact that a razor is wrapped in
paper does not necessarily give an indi-
vidual the right to carry 1t in his
pocket Such was the decision Of Judge
Pugh In Police Court today In the case
of Gus Reynolds. who had been arrest
ed on charges of drunkenness and car
ryine concealed weapons.
II had the razor so carefully wrapped
that a man could have killed me before
could have got II out for use said
REYNOLDS
Judge Pugh said that a man under
the influence of liquor should be care
full not to have weapons on his person
and imposed a fine of $50.
Before Judge Mullowny Reynolds was
tried also for intoxication.
i've already been given sixty days"
he said. Don't you think that pretty
severe?"
Reynolds told the court he thought 1t
rather hard for man to be sent to the
workhouse when he Is ready and will
ing to go to Sparrows Point and help
construct ships for the navy. He was
fined $40 for intoxication.
Judge Pugh also decided that a
safety razor carried In ones pocket is
not a concealed weapon within the
meaning of the law. The question
arose in the case of a colored man
named James Henson, who was arrest
ed Saturday night on such a charge
Henson was placed on probation on a
minor charge against him.
