The American patrol, in which

After lying in the mud nearly all
night the patience Of the watchers
was rewarded by the sight Of large
German patrol. its number more than

The Germans were permitted to
pass, when the Americans and
French on their flank opened hot
fire from shell craters and other shell
ters where they were secured.

been hit.
The number OF dead and wounded
IS uncertain but none Of the men in

Germans later sent in from dist

French re-entercd their trnches.
During the last two nights the
Germans have continuously used ma

PATRIOT FIRST, WIFE NEXT.
New York Bond Jugglcr Located
Through Wife's Assistance.

New York, Nov. 15.-Elmer Dwig-
gins, promoter Of the so-called "Uni-
tod States Government Liberty Loan
Club" through which he is alleged
to have filched thousands of dollars
from women and children who
thought their money~was to be used
in assisting the government in the
war, was arrested to-day at Mont
gomcry. Ala, on information sup
piled by his wife, it developed here
tonight
81 am patriot first-a wife next"
Mrs: Dwiggins is declared to have
told post Office inspector, whoa
sought her assistance in locating her
husband. She at first refused to lis
ten to the assumption that Dwiggins
was dishonest. When told, however,
that investigation had given grounds
for suspicion that Dwiggins had de-
frauded hundreds of persons, many
Of them women and children of small
means, through appeals to their pa
triotism, Mrs. Dwiggins is quoted by
the inspector as saying:
"lf satisfy myself that what you
say Is true, I will render you all the
aid in my power in searching for my
husband. He is unworthy Of consid-
Grafton If he has done what you say,
and ] am a patriot first and a wife
next"
Dwiggins, manager Of the New
York agency Of the Bankers Life
Insurance Company Of Des Moines,
, Iowa. is alleged to have represented
that the "club" through which he
operated was governmental agency,
and that it's organization had the sup
port OF the company by which he
was employed. Those whom he Is
said to have duped made initial pay
ments on the "dollar down, dollar-a-
week" plan. 1t Is said Dwiggins
made application for the purchase Of
large amount Of the war bonds, os-
tnnsibly for resale to members OF
:he "cNlb" in the same manner-by
making a relatively small initial pay
ment.
Dwigeins, who Is to be brought to
this city Immediately, will be formal
ly charged with using the mails to
dcfraud.

TUHULTY STORY SET AT REST.
Work Of the Governments Enemies
In the Middle West.

Washington, Nov. 14.-Newspaper
Offices, the government departments
and even the White House itself
have been bombarded recently BY
queries from many sections of the

ally the questioner wants to know
whether it Is true that the Presidents
secretary has been sent to Fort Leav-
enworth as spy.
Now Mr.. Tumulty is hearing from
his friends on the subject, and last

at the White House:
"For several days friends have
written, telegraphed and telephoned
me from all parts Of the country stat
ing that rumors are being assiduous-
ly spread alleging that l have been
imprisoned at Fort Leavenworth. All
sorts Of fancifnl tales are being pass
ed from mouth to mouth by innocent
persons who are the victims of a
systematic and insidious propaganda
to weaken confidence in officials Of
the Federal government. Officials of
the Department Of Justice are inves-
tigating the origin Of the conspiracy
to determine who have been guilty
Of actually starting this falsehood."
No one has been able to account
for the circulation Of these reports.
Most Of them have come out Of the
Middle West and apparently they
have hcen spread from one end Of
the country to the other.

Camp Sewer, Greenville, Nov. IS.
Anxiety as to the manner In which
the soldiers will fare during the cold
days ahead may now be laid mt rest.
OVercoats have arrived and have
been distributed to every man in the
division. Each man has been pro-
\ vidcd with one suit OF winter under
wear and 27,00O more suits are on
the way by express from Utica, n.
Y. This equipment is ample to keep
the thinEest-blooded individual quite
comfortable in tho coolest weather
that will occur here.
There are now on hand over 90
600 pairs of heavy marching shoes,
and when they are issued the num-
her Of pairs per man will be three.
The greater part Of the division Is
equipped with the cotton uniform,
and it is announced that woolen gar
ments will be issued at the port Of
embarkation, as woolen uniforms
will not be needed here, with the
equipment the soldiers have on hand.
The distribution OF this large
quantity Of clothing has put the di-
vision In excellent shape In thiS re-
spect and it is in fair shape in the
matter OF other equipment. While
the division Is not fully equipped in
ordnance, there is enough on hand
for practice. The number Of rifles
for the division Is short about 3, 500,
but as the division still lacks 2,C0O
men of full strength, this shortage is
insignificant. The division has al
most the regulation number OF pis-
tolls and as for smaller equipment,
as mess out fits. there is even a super
fluffy.
Only in the matter Of field arlil-
lcry Is the ordnance equipment at
Camp Sewer unsatisfactory. There
is only one battery, four 3-inch guns
here, and this has been divided be-
tween the 18th and 1l4th field ar
tillcry. The 115th field artillery,
which-is to be equipped with 6-inch
howttzcrs, still has no artillery
equipment and the regiment is using
rough wooden models to learn the
rudimentary motions Of serving and
laying a gun.
There is an ample number of ma
chine guns for instruction and other
purposes, there being about 25 Lewis
guns Of the old type and twice that
number Of the new model.
