The prisoner was troated at dressing station and re- moved to a field hospital, where the oombined efforts of several surgeons failed to save his life.
 The prisoner was a mail carrier and letters of some value were found on him. He explained his presence near tbe American trenches, saying he had lost his way in the dark. He declared that the German soldiers did not know that Americans were on the front in France. the officers telling them nothing.
 American batteries are continuing to shell the German lines at regular intervals the enemy following simi- lar tactics.

NO FRIGHTENING
 BY RETAIL DEALERS
Food Administration Has Plans
 for Public's PrOtection-Li-
 censes Not Permitted to Sell to PrOfteering Dealers.

Washington, Oct. 29.-Profiteering by retail dealers in foodstuffs will be made impossible after Nov. 1, the food administration announced to- night, under plan to cut off supplies to those not satisfied with reasonable margins. Manufacturers, wholesalers and other handlers of foods, whose business will go under license, will not be permitted to sell to distributors who seek undue profits.
 ''This," the announcement said. lis one of the most sweeping safeguards against high price which would be in- Icorporated in the licensing system, for which complete rules and regulations will be made known within a few days"
 This plan, food administration offic- ials believe, will give the government entire control of retail prices. Whole salers and others who continue to sell to retailers after they are forbidden to do so by the food administration will be denied the right to sell goods under license.

MARKET UNSETTLED,
 PRICES TAKE DROP
Little Buying, and Net Loss for Day is 26 to 63 POints-FaII- ing Off in Demand is Factor on the Decline.

New York, Oct. 29.-The cotton market was weak and unsettled to- day, with January contracts selling off to 25.S5c, or IT points below Satur- days closing. That delivery closed at 26c, with the general list closing steady, at net decline of 26 to 63 points.
 The market opened easy, at a de- cline of IS to 31 points under Wall street and commission house liquida- tion, which was largely attributed to the unsettling effect on sentiment of the Italian news. The early offerings were absorbed by Liverpool and trade buying and after showing a net loss of 20 to 37 points the market rallied on unfavorable weather news and a Memphis estimate that damage to the crop outlook by frost had amounted to 1,171 ,000 bales. Aside from cover ing, however, there appeared to be very little demand on the bulge of some 20 points from the lowest and after selling up to 27.73c for Decem- Der, 26.62c for January and 26.25c for March, the market turned easier. Rather conflicting Southern spot ad- vices, some of which reported a fall ing off in demand and more disposition on the part of the holders to sell, were factor on the decline. being colored to some extent by the appearance of larger Southern selling orders around the ring. There was also increased Wall street and Western liquidation and stop-orders were uncovered on the break, which extended to 26.55c for December and 25.55c for March, or about 50 to 75 points net lower. The close was 12 to r points up from the lowest on covering.

CAPTURE COMMANDER
 OF RAIDER SEEADLER
Caught Off Fiji Islands by Fiji COnstabulary - Germans in Armed Launch and Pursued by Officials Aboard Steamer.

A Pacific Port, Oct. 29.-Count von Luckner, commander of the German raider Seeadler, was captured Sept. 21 off the Fiji Islands by Fijian con stabulary, according to word brought by a steamer arriving today from a ns-Pacific port.
 Five German members of the Seead- ler's crew were taken with their com- mander, officers of the arriving vessel said. The Germans were in an armed launch and were pursued by the con- stables, who were aboard the steamer Amra. This report of the capture of the Germans confirms a message to this effect received some time ago from Australia.
 Just what became of others of the Seeadler's crew is not known. One report was that they were at sea in a commandeered vessel.
 The Seeadler, wrecked on the Mo- hcpa Islands in the South Pacific some months ago, sank three American yes sells during her cruise in the Pacific. Previously, in the Atlantic, she put an end to 16 vessels of various types. News of the destruction of the See adler was announced in Washington on Oct. 4.

SPEAKER CLARK PREDICTS
 GREATER PROFITS TAXES

Washington, Oct. Raising money" That is Speaker Clark's terse answer to the question: What will be the chief work at the next session of Congress. However" he said, q think we will not raise as much as we did last session, $21 ,O00,000,000. The ships we paid for, the aircraft we au- thorized, and a lot of the guns and military material we bought, won't have to be duplicated. But therell be enough to raise to keep us busy. l think we'll have about a fifty-fifty split on taxes and bonds.' This will necessitate greater profits taxes. The present ratio is about sixty five-thirty five, with bonds on the long end.

BENNY LEONARD
 RESENTS CRITICISMS

New York, Oct. 30.-The patriotic fight fans, Benny Leonard claims, have been treating him unfairly The | lightweight champion is considerably grieved because he has been accused of stepping out of a clinch with the kaiser after having promised to take him on for regular scrap.
 When Benny took Freddie Welsh to first-class trimming recently in New York he announced right off that he was going to enter some branch of service and fight for Uncle Sam, but time continued rolling along without any enlistment out of the new light weigh king. Criticisms then began to break up Benny's peace and he begal to smart under the skin.
 Now that Benny has received an Appointment and a commission that makes him a boxing instructor in one of the new training camps he has of fered an explanation, He declares that right after he whipped Welsh he went to Washington and offered to enlist, but was told by officials there 1 it was net wise for them to accept him at once.
 Benny says he was told his services would be much more valuable if he worked as an athletic instructor. and with this advice he came back to New York to wait. Now that he has re- ceived his commission he is ready with explanations.
 Offers have been made to Leonard for bouts that would net him huge sums of money but it is doubtful if the army can spare him for the time it would be necessary for him to go and make the battles. Of course, he is in constant good condition, through his work at the camps.
 Johnny Kilbane and Mike Gibbons are two other champions who have al- ready received their commissions and are ready for duty. Kilbane is one of the most patriotic lads in the entire service. Gibbons has given up busi- ness interests and sacrificed time that belongs to his family. Mike waived exemption claims when he registered for the national army and announced himself ready to take on the whole German army or any part of it to finish fight
 Kilbane and Leonard have set splendid example for American youths There are many others in the army and navy who have done the same thing-notable among them being Joe Yelling, a serious contender for Leon ards claim.

Gov. Trough an nounced that Mr. Pendergrass would continue to serve as member of the

THE AMATEUR GARDENERS.
Photographers and Comic Papers
Having Lots of Fun With
Them.

The photographers and comic pap
ers are having lots of fun with the
amateur gardeners. According to
their point Of view, the novice agri-
culturist spends most of his time
evenings rubbing arnica on his lame
muscles, while he can be distinguish
ed on the street by his lame walk.
In so far as the back yard farmers
are suffering from their unaccustom-
ed labors, their inconvenience is use
full in that it reveals muscles that
were lying dormant 1t is surpris-
ing how any new kind of exercise
will uncover faults in ones physical
cellent walker, capable of tramping
many miles and may be proficient at
some form of athletic sport like ten
mis- or golf. Yet when he yields the
hoe he finds that many Of his mus
cles were getting no exercise, and
that games had only helped him in a
one sided way.
A man may go along year after
year doing sedentary work and
think that he is in good health. Then
all at once he collapses, aid the doc
tor tells him he must have more ex-
ercise and outdoor life. He buys an
expensive automobile or purchases
a health eXerciser or joins a physi-
cal culture class. But if muscles
have been suffered to lose their fiber
through long years of neglect, they
can never be put back where they
were.
Wherefore let the gardener re-
joice, even though for few days he
may need to use bit of witch hazel
on his creaking limbs. 1t simply
means that they are reawakenilg out
of sleep into life, and if he will keep
at it he will be getting a physical de-
velopment for which other men are
paying good money. The gardener
gets something other than the choice
of vegetables which he stores away
in his basement

proved to be up to it's advance noti-

For the most part business men

iobeyed the law to the letter, and
closed their establishments for the
day.
The police, however, made more
than sixty arrests during the day on
charges of violation OF the statute
BY far the greater portion of these
arrests We're those of citizens of
Jewish religion who declare that The
'blue law" is an infringement upon
religious liberty, and declined to
close their places of business.
Moving picture men, theater own
ers and the local Western league
baseball team decided to test the
law. The proprietors of all moving
picture and other theaters who were
open for business were either arrest
ed or notified to appear in police
court.
Aside from the movies, restaur-
