RaWitzer Heirs Lose Case;
White Receivers Bank Deposit

Lincoln, May 6.-(Special. 1.-The
Nebraska supreme court today re-
versed the decision of the Douglas
county district court which awarded
the heirs of the late Albert H. Rawit-
ger a verdict of $5,473 against the Mu-
tual Benefit Health and Accident
association.
A decision of the Douglas county
court upholding the Omaha school
district in refusing to admit qualified
nonresident students to the high
school upon payment of the statutory
fee was also reversed.
An injunction restraining Elias
Holovtchiner, president of the school
board, and Superintendent Graft from
collecting $3.50 expenses for a trip to
the fourth international congress on
school hygiene at Buffalo, allowed by
the school board, was sustained.
The decision of the Burt county
court granting Albert S. Whites petit
ton against the state bank guaranty
fund for $4,000 deposited in the de-
funct Farmers bank at Decatur for
the Central State bank of Omaha was
upheld.

Print Paper Magnates About :
To Approve Price.Fixinq Plan

Washington, May s--News print
paper makers are about to approve a
plan for price fixing and supervision
of the distribution of their product by
the federal trade commission, which
was dropped recently when New
York federal grand jury indicted the
manufacturers for trust law viola
tions.
They previously have declared they
would have nothing more to dc with
the agreement and would fight the
indictments in the courts.
1t is generally believed if the man
ufacturers enter the agreement and
sell their paper at lower prices the
cases may not be brought to trial by
the Department of Justice.
AT the time the indictments were
brought it was understood the trade
commission thought the justice de-
partnent was acting unwisely.

ALL FRANCE AT BORDER

Chicago, May 6,-How the French
army, although improperly armed and
ammunitioned, met the Germans on
the Marne and whipped them in 1914,
was told briefly tonight by Marshal
Joffre in his second speech in America
before $4,000 shouting men, women
and children.
After the large amphitheatcr had
been filled, fire destroyed $l50,000
building a block from the meeting.
Firemen muffled the engines and the
audience was not alarmed.
Many workmen had been allowed
a half holiday to see the famous Wis
itors. Marshal Joffre addressed his
wildly cheering auditors as follows:
All France at Border.
Ladies and Gentlemen: | am happy
to salute ths..cit of Chicago in this
assembly where all classes of society
are represented. This assembly re-
minds me Of France at the moment
of the declaration of war in August
1914. The Germans had assailed us
in brutal attack, hoping within. a
short time to destroy France by
many barbarous blows. The danger
was caught in the act.
"All the French hocked to the
border. The farmer, the workman, in
fact all French people were standing
at the border.
"The fight was hard, but at last
we were successful and stopped the
enemy. The battle of the Marine
stopped them completely at that time
Greetings of the Army.
r 1--WE were in need of munitions. We
were in need Of guns and rifles. Then
we took from the ranks of the army
all the special workmen to make
guns, bullets and bombs, and from
that time the French army is com.
prised of those who fight at the
front and those who make it possible
to fight at the front
There is the army at the front ant
the army in the shops and factories
and it is from the army at the from,
and the army of the shops that
bring greetings to you.
81 bring the greetings Of the whole
French army to the population o
Chicago and above all to the work

Hrom Il staff Correspondent OF the Asso-

Great Headquarters of the French
Armies in France, May 6.--Not only
have the last two days of fighting
along the Chemip -Des-Dames deliv-
cred more than 5000 prisoners to the
French, but have given them posi-
tions whence they can operate on the
principal German defensive line occu-
pying the crest on the northern side
OF the Ailette valley.
Men returning from the lines assert
that the number OF German dead ly-
ing on the battlefield is greater than
ever seen on one spot during the fight
ing in France. y .f,.
From Laffaux mill to Craonne the
entire Chemin- -Des-Dames with the
exception of very small section is
held firmly by the French, who have
thoroughly organized their gains in
defiance Of all the efforts to oust them.
Counter Blows Fail.
Counter attacks were tried by the
Germans last night at many points
with great masses Of men who dis
played the ferocity OF desperation, but
they we're beaten back again and
again,
The verve of the French troops OF
all regiments, each one of which emu
lates its neighbor i'll bravery, was too
much for the Germans, who surrcn-
dered in large bodies, unable to with
stand the French impetuositY.
The French troops advanced so
rapidly that some of the German
heavy artillery could not be removed
and was captured together with some
Of their field artillery.
